Tommy is in a full on laugh as he listens to his friends while streaming Minecraft. He was supposed to be gathering materials to prepare for future wars on the Dream SMP, but here he was, with Tubbo and Quackity fucking around.

"Tommy, Tommy, Tommy. Have you heard about the kid that looks like you?" Quackity asked. The blonde frowned briefly at the question. "What do you mean? There's only one me that exists. I'm the one all the ladies want." He jokes, hoping to change the subject.

"Actually Big Q, I was hearing about that too. Chat's been telling me that there's photos flying around the Internet where there's someone who looks like Tommy. A model." Tubbo states.

Tommy's eyes widened and he began to search on his second monitor for those rumored pictures. Sure enough, he finds them and his chest tightens as his heart rate increases. People were close to finding out about his secret. And if people learned about it, then he'll be seen differently. He didn't want people to stop watching him just because he was a model.

"Tommy? You alright bossman?" Tubbo asked. "Y-Yeah. I-I'm fine. Just lost in thought." He answered with a shaky breath.

"You don't sound okay. Maybe you should go take a break. End the stream and go touch some grass man." Big Q suggests. Tommy shook his head.

"I said I'm fine. I'll go take a walk after the stream. Besides, I still need to go mining in case Dream or BadBoyHalo try to go after me in the future."

Despite his facade during the rest of the stream, Tommy held it in. And by the time the stream was over, Phil had joined the call after hearing about how distraught Tommy was on stream.

"Tommy, you know you can talk to us mate. Did Big Q or Tubbo say something that you didn't like?" Phil asked. Tommy sighed as he shook his head again.

"I'm fine Phil." He answered. "If you were fine, you'd jump back up and be your upbeat self on stream. What happened before the mood changed?" He asked.

"Q brought up something that people have been talking about." Tubbo began. Quackity hummed in agreement and continued. "Yeah! There's these pictures going around of some model boy who looks like Tommy!"

"And after we brought it up, Tommy went quiet. I even pulled his stream up and he wasn't looking too hot. Chat was also worried." Tubbo finished. Phil nods as he tries to get Tommy's attention. Sadly, the boy was glancing at his phone about a photo shoot he would have to head to soon.

"Tommy? Hey mate, we'll let you relax for now. If you ever need someone to talk to, just give us a call."

"And if you don't tell us, I'll come over to your place and make you tell me." Quackity jokes.

"Hope you feel better soon bossman!" Tubbo called out as the blonde left the call.

He sat in his chair for a good 20 minutes before he decided to make his way to the park nearby. He figured a walk in the park before heading to the shoot would help his mental health of the current situation.

When he arrived, he saw a bunch of little kids playing tag. They had the biggest grins on their small faces. And there was a kid who's chasing the others. He had blonde hair and amber eyes, to Tommy's surprise.

"Catch us if you can Clay!" One kid shouted from the top of the playground equipment. "I'll get you guys before I leave!" 'Clay' shouted. "In your dreams!" Another kid added.

Tommy briefly chuckled at their banter. Made him think about how he was on stream with his friends. And whenever he watched Dream's Manhunts, there was always some kind of banter between the group.

And glancing around, he notices two kids watching on a tablet. And he could briefly hear his voice from the speakers. He realized that they must be fans of his.

Everyone in the park was with someone enjoying their time. Tommy envied the children who have the opportunity to have a childhood. He was jealous of the people who could spend their days without trying to keep a secret from nearly 50k people.

Then he noticed a girl sitting alone with her tablet on her lap. She had her eyes closed, seemingly enjoying the soft breeze. He figured he'd try talking to her since she looked about his age.

Walking up behind the bench she sat on, Tommy caught a glimpse of what she was working on. It looked like an advertisement for a product that he wasn't familiar with. Despite that, it was actually pretty good.

The girl turns her head to face him and Tommy gets a good look at her features. Blonde hair fading into light purple and amber eyes. And the way she was looking at him was as if she was studying his features as well. He pointed towards her iPad and made a comment about her work.

"That's pretty good."
