It was a day just like any other, the sun was shining brightly and with the birds that chirped outside, yet it was another boring day for the Brit. The only thing that he found quite interesting is how his dad is sending him off to his friend in America, and of course he was opposed to the idea at first before accepting his fate and started packing once the news broke out.

Turns out his dad is just probably too busy that he had no choice, not that he didn't understand though but the thought of leaving all of his friends behind is sort of, saddening or so he thought.

Tommy sat in his room all day playing a game of Minecraft with his friend, Tubbo. It was all going well with the others that joined in as well before, before he told them the news. "What?!" His friend exclaimed, earning a heavy sigh from him. "I know right? It's hard to believe on how we can't see each other that much anymore" He responded, leaning back against his chair a bit. The blond stared down at his hands, the cut off string that still remained on his ring finger. He grimaced at it and turn away from the sad sight of it.

It was really odd to be honest, Tommy didn't believe in love. Quite a shocker, isn't it? The man who was obsessed with women, doesn't believe in falling in love. He thought it was stupid in all honesty, but no one paid much attention anyways. While he, could see the strings on his friends' fingers that were somewhat connected to their partner, his was, remained unattached from when he could even remember the first time he saw the red strings.

He saw his mother's and father's that were connected and how his brother has a partner somewhere out there- but fuck Sally, they weren't meant to be anyways, he can always find a new person. She already was belonged to someone anyways, and that someone was, who would've known it was Jared?

"It's okay, boss man. We can always facetime or just call each other even if you're like, thousands or millions of miles away from me" The brunette said out, smiling behind the screen. "Yeah, that would be nice" He replied, catching the smile in his words. "So when are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow early in the morning."

"You sure you'll be alright, big man?" The tall Brit asked, his expression plastered a rather worried one. Tommy smiled at him and nod, a sigh escaped his mouth. "I'll be fine, Wil. I'm not a kid anymore, I'm a big man! I can take care of myself now" He said out with such confidence, causing his father and brother to chuckle. "Take good care of yourself, son. Sorry I had to send you off, you know how busy your mom and I are." Philza frowned a bit as he placed both of his hands on his youngest son's shoulders. "I never wanted to do this" He added.

The young Brit smiled and patted his father's hand. "It's alright, dad. I understand-"

"TOMMY!" A voice rang out following a brunette who ran towards the blond, giving him a tight hug. "Oh my god, thank god I'm not late" He said out, the other only laughing and hugged his friend back. "It's just for a while, Tubs. I'll be back, you know that"

"But- but- It's gonna be different without you here and plus- How long do you think we'll have to wait?" Tubbo frowned, soon pulling back from the hug but giving a saddened look as if tears were about to drop any moment now. Tommy took notice of it and gently shook his head. "Everything's gonna be just fine, it's not like I'll be gone forever, man" He chuckled with the shorter that soon smiled and stepped back a bit.

The announcement was made and it was time for Tommy to actually bid his family and friends goodbye one last time before he boards the plane. His smile dropped a bit but soon went back up as he gave them all one last hug. "I'll miss you all" He said, and grabbed off his stuff. "Take care, Tommy"

"Stay safe, mate"

"Don't forget to text me when you arrive there!"

He flashed a smile to all of them, obviously not wanting to go but at the same time, he knew he had to. "Will do," He said and turned his back on them, heading straight towards the plane as he peered back at them. "Goodbye, everyone."

Tommy had been nervous, sure planes were cool and all but heck, he couldn't help but feel all tensed up. When the woman scanned his ticket, he grew more nervous within time that passed by. If the bridge was bad, the plane is far worse. He could feel cold sweats that broke out, trickling down behind his neck. The suffocating feeling that nearly devoured him- He just wanted to get this over with and land as soon as possible to Techno so this feeling would go away.

It was stupid considering for someone only a few years older to take care of him but oh well, he respected his father's decision. The blond scanned through the entire place and took an empty seat next to the window after he shoved in his bag in the overhead bin and clicked on the belts. It wasn't the plane that was terrifying, it was the fact that he was alone that scares him.

He looked around at the passengers, the strings tied on their fingers that confused his eyesight, it was a total mess. He hated seeing it to be honest, so instead of looking at these people, he turned his gaze outside the window.

Twelve hours, twelve fucking hours with hardly any sleep or any entertainment, how can it get any worse?

Tommy let out a groan once he finally got out of the suffocating plane, wincing when he was presented with the bright atmosphere and the sun that shone down in nearly blinding him. He got off the bridge into the open airport that he soon found a hatred to it. It was so confusing for him as it was completely different, lost, he followed in some people that lead him down the escalator to the baggage claim.

To his luck, his phone started buzzing like crazy that annoyed him while he grabbed it out from his pocket. Messages and missed calls from the one and only, Technoblade.

Tommy let out a huge sigh, shoving his phone back in his pocket while he stared at the baggage claim that spun around till he took notice of his suitcase and grabbed it off before a pair of hand rested on his shoulder. "Boo"

He flinched and smacked the hand off. "Oh what the fuck, Techno- you fucking scared me" He frowned earning a quiet laughter from the other. First thing that Tommy notices was the red string and he hated the sight of it like, a lot. Guess he's gonna be lonely forever. Or so he thought.
