Free-Fall: Vigilante Tommyinnit AU

《CHAPTER TEN》

Tommy POV-

"Everything okay?", I asked, Wilbur nodded, "Sorry, I haven't treated you fairly, and it's only your first day", I shrugged, "Your just trying to do your job, it's all fine", I said

I wasn't stupid, I knew Wilbur was suspicious, so was Philza and Technoblade, and I wasn't doing a good job trying to cover things up, I was going to be here for a while, and it was going to be a while everyday, "You can leave early if you'd like", Wilbur said, "Why? Something wrong?", I asked, Wilbur shook his head, "No, just- just think of it as an apology, besides, you've already finished your work", Wilbur said with a smile, I laughed lightly, cringing internally at how tired and dry it sounded, I couldn't help but worry about Ranboo and Tubbo.

"alright then, I'll see you tomorrow", I said with a gently smile, grabbing my coat off my desk chair, along with my bag, gifted to me by Hannah, The kind woman at the front desk in the lobby.

"Ranboo? Tubbo?", I called out, as a closed the door, "Tommy!", Tubbo jumped at me, pushing me to the ground as he engulfed me in a tight hug, "I'm so so sorry about yesterday, I didn't mean to upset you! I know your trying your best, and I'm so sorry I didn't see that sooner, I really do appreciate you, I don't know why I acted the way I did, I just kinda freaked out about the thought of you keeping things from us! But- but I know you have the right to and-", Tubbo rambled on, "Tubbo!", I laughed, "Relax bossman, it's fine, I'm not mad at you, I didn't even think anything of it", I lied, I'm sorry I lied again.

"I'm fine, I wasn't even upset! I promise!".

I'm sorry. But you could never understand.

You could never understand the way I feel, the way I hurt, the way I burn slowly.

How every bit of me burns slowly because of my never ending grief, sorrow, anger and guilt.

"So, what's this about hearing a voice in my room?", I asked, "Tubbo heard it-", Ranboo said before getting cut off by Tubbo, "I don't remember what it said but yeah, it sounded like something being played off a speaker", "And that worried you? It was probably just my radio, I forget to turn it off all the time", I said with a laugh, Tubbo paused, "really..?", I nodded, "Yeah, you were worried for nothing", I said, Ranboo sighed, "sorry Tommy, we didn't make you leave early for us, did we?", "No, no, you guys didn't make me leave early, I finished my work early so they let me go earlier than originally planned", "Oh, thank god, sorry we worried you over nothing though, you know how paranoid I am", Tubbo said, I laughed, "It's fine, you guys can go ahead and sit down, and i'll get started on dinner", I said.

"Message Replay, 5:30pm: April 9th, Esempii-Earth alleyway, B.B.R. At 9:50pm. . . Don't be late"

The Voice was firm, but warm and sweet, and I felt closure. 

It was 12:45am.

I told Tubbo I wouldn't go patrol.

Just a small lie to keep him from worrying.

Boffy POV-

I stood outside Philza's office, waiting for him to leave. "What happened?", Philza asked, "I sent Tommy home early, as an apology of course", Wilbur replied, "Did you find any file on him?", Technoblade asked, My jaw clenched, are they really trying to find a file on him? Right when he leaves? I relaxed a bit when I heard Wilbur speak, "No, we haven't even tried, and I don't think we should, we already have his resume papers, thats all the information on him that we need, at least, for now. Techno, you don't know why I sent him home, do you?", Wilbur asked, Technoblade didn't say anything, but it was true, he didn't know why they sent Tommy home, "I sent him home to apologize for treating him so unfairly, we talked about him and treated him like he asked for our help or something, and it was only his first day, we can all agree, he's not okay, but we shouldn't do anything yet, not until he tells us, or gives us a clear sign, of wanting us to get involved", I heard some mutters after Wilbur spoke, before the sound of shuffling and I moved away from the door, out of sight, watching the three leave the room, with a few papers, and I quickly stopped my foot in between the door before it could close all the way, and quietly went inside.

They were all clearly still suspicious of Tommy, what if they found out he wasn't even 19?? 

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my phone ringing quietly, of course I turned the volume down before doing this.

"Hey, did you do it?", I asked, "Yeah, I already sent the message though that old speaker we used to communicate on, Tommy still has it, y'know", "of course he does, you gave it to him", I said softly, looking down at Philza's desk.

I snickered, "What?", "Oh, nothing", I chuckled, "For his first name on his resume papers, he put 'Thomathy' ", I said, the man on the other line laughed, "of course he did", I smiled, "Thanks for letting me know he worked here, otherwise I would have found out late, how did you find out though?"

"I always keep an eye on my sunshine"

"You weirdo", He scoffed, "It is strictly platonic", I laughed lightly, "I know, I know", I smiled, before I looked at the calendar on Philza's wall, "April 9th, right?", I asked, "yeah, I'm sure Tommy knows by now it was me who sent the message though, hope I didn't freak him out too much", I smiled sadly, "I need to find something,I'll see you soon", I said

"alright, bye Boffy"

"Bye, Deo"
