Chapter 8

Schlatt loosened his hold on the embrace and moved so he could help Wilbur get up. He grabbed Wilbur's hand as he helped the President up and into his desk.

"Hey Schlatt?"

"Hm?"

"Thank you..."

Schlatt smiled and pulled up a chair to the side of the desk. "Of course loverboy."

Wilbur hummed softly before turning to the work on his desk. He groaned a little before resuming the organization process that had been long forgotten at this point.

"Want me to stay? I don't have much to do other than the election letters I was writing before this."

Wilbur paused for a moment. "I've never had someone in here while I've worked." He looked to the closed blinds on the window. "But someone in here wouldn't hurt.."

Schlatt laughed. "Alright, I can even help you finish if you want."

"That'd be nice."

"Alright, I can do that." He went to grab a paper off Wilbur's desk. "Oh by the way, Tommy said he'll be in the van if you need him."

Wilbur paused his organization. "Fuck- the lads probably worried."

"Send him a message."

"You're right. Let me do that, if you'll excuse me." Wilbur stood up and walked over to open the blinds of his window to see Tubbo sitting outside the van. They made eye contact and Tubbo turned around, saying something to the closed door of the van. Wilbur typed out a quick message to Tommy.

WilburSoot: I'm okay Toms.

Once it was sent Wilbur looked up from the pale green screen of his communicator and looked back outside the window to see Tubbo pointing at him. He could barely see Tommy poking his head out of the van to look at him, but once he saw Tommy he gave a small wave. He only broke eye contact because he felt his communicator buzz.

TommyInnit: Okay. Promise?

Instead of typing a response he looked back to the van to make sure Tommy was still looking at him, he was able to see more of Tommy now. Tommy was about half way out of the doorway now.

Wilbur lifted his pinkie finger to his chest and mouthed the word 'Promise' back to Tommy. This was something the two used to do as kids all the time, when one was leaving for a trip or they were too far away to hear each other.

Doing this got a small smile out of Tommy, who lifted his pinkie back at Wilbur. Wilbur smiled back and looked back to his communicator quickly.

WilburSoot: I'm going back to work but I'll come sit with you when I'm done.

Wilbur watched Tommy give him a salute, which he returned, before seeing Tommy turn back to Tubbo with a more bubbly manner than moments ago.

Wilbur returned to his desk where Schlatt was waiting and organizing papers.
