I can't believe how long c!Schlatt's been in limbo for so long.

•Implied underaged drinking

"Tubbo!"

The brunette flinched before looking towards the shout, "y-yes Schlatt?"

The adult put the bottle in his hand down, "I got more paper work for you to do. I expect them done my tomorrow."

"Schaltt, there's no way I'd be able to get this much done by tomorrow—"

"Did. I. Stutter?"

The smaller shook at the voice, "n-no sir..."

"Good. Now get it done, Tubbo."

"Yessir..."

The younger's breath hitched as Niki tightened the bandage on his arms a little to tight.

"I'm sorry, Tubbo..." she spoke softly.

The brunette shook his head, "it's not your fault... I should've gotten them done on time."

"That bastard shouldn't be putting so much pressure on you, you're only a kid," the blonde spoke as she gave him a sympathetic glance.

"I'll be fine. I'm more worried about Tommy and Wil..." the brunette looked at the floor.

"He also shouldn't be putting so much pressure on you. It's dangerous for you to go between sides," she finished wrapping the bandages.

"I can take it until I can't. Besides, I rather have him focused on what I do rather than hurting you for being openly against him," the younger admitted.

She smiled, "I'll be alright, Tubbo. You need to take care of yourself. You're the one who's going to be on constant watch rather than me, so try not to do anything to provoke him on purpose. I'll be here if you need me, and you know Eret will be as well."

The brunette smiled, "thank you..."

He never wanted to burden her though.

"No.... no, no, no," the goat hybrid whispered as he stepped away from the mirror.

Horns.

They finally grew out.

Why now?

Why fucking now of all times?!

He didn't want them, why were they here?!

"Tubbo I need you to get a list of— woah! Look at you!"

The younger snapped his head to look at the ram hybrid who entered the room.

"Looking stylish, right hand man! Why didn't you tell me you had horns! We could've helped them grow out faster! Look at you, now you look like me!" The adult said as he wrapped an arm around him.

"I, um," Tubbo felt sick, "t-thank you sir."

He wanted to chop them off right then and there, but he couldn't risk having any more injuries. Cuts and bruises from the bottles were enough.

"Do it now, Tubbo."

"Wouldn't want anything to happen to poor Niki, would you?"

"Get me a drink."

"Fundy's being obedient, and he's Wilbur's son. How come you can't be?"

"Trust me, they want nothing to do with you. So why would you want anything to do with them?"

"You're on our side, not theirs."

"Get me another drink."

"Who cares what happened to them, they're never going to set foot in here again."

"Don't screw up next time, or else."

"Hand me another drink."

"You want some this time? Sure it'll take the nerves off."

"Why are you crying? You spoiled brat, you don't get paid enough to cry."

"I'm your emperor, you do as I say."

"This is my land, no one elses. Not even the vp's."

"Tubbo! Drink, NOW!"

"Tubbo?"

"Tubbo, aren't you listening? What are you, deaf?"

"Tubbo, can you hear me?"

"Look at you! You're almost exactly like me!"

"...Bee?"

"You're nothing without me."

"Bee?"

"You will never be anything in life if you don't do as I say. You need to listen to your superiors more often."

"Bee? Are you okay?"

The brunette then looked up at the multicolored who was snapping in his face.

"Ah, hi. Need something, Boo?" He smiled.

"No, I'm alright. You just stopped talking and I got worried, sorry," the enderman hybrid rubbed his arm with embarrassment.

"S'alright boo boy. Anyway, I forgot what I was talking about. Guess I have the memory issues now," the goat rolled his eyes, "what is it you said before I zoned out or whatever?"

"I... you don't have to answer if you don't want to, but I was wondering... why don't you have horns in your baby pictures from the early L'manburg days?" The older tilted his head as he handed the other a picture.

It was him just sitting on the caravan with Tommy and Wilbur, it was obviously after the first war as he didn't look like he was 5 years old like he did before it. But he was just holding onto a flower as they talked.

"Ah well..."

A shiver went down his spine.

"It's... a pretty unpleasant memory, if I'm honest," Tubbo admitted.

The taller nodded, "you don't have to say. Sorry for bringing it up."

"It's alright..."

Maybe I should get rid of them now that he's gone...

"You didn't know."

But that'd worry Boo... so I guess that's off the table.

The dual-colored young adult brought him to a hug, "I tend to not know a lot about you."

The smaller laughed softly, "sorry."

Maybe that's for the better.
