A snowy day seemed to have arrived, despite it being summer time. A usual day in the Antartic Empire, The silver head supposed.

The frosty winds from the outside don't seem too welcoming, and so he shut the window, and looked at Tubbo, Ghostboo, Michael, Techno and Phil, inside of the mansion. 

To be honest, 'Tommy' didn't feel too good here. He could smell the tension between Tubbo and Ghostboo, despite him smelling blood at this moment. 'Tommy' thought it might be his own, till he scratched that thought away, having been, Phil and Techno were eyeing him from across the room. 

He felt rather uncomfortable, say no more, he basically had an arrow go through his neck. Three times, he would have told you that. 

There's a keyword there, would have. Don't you remember he can't speak? Well, he would try to speak, but he hasn't tried at all since.. since.. the last time, let's say that. 

He brushed off the rather traumatic memory, as he went closer to Michael. 

Michael set eyes on his uncle, and giggled. Tommy wished he could do the same back to Michael, but his voice box just couldn't work at the moment. 

"Mommy!" Michael said, and Tommy used all his strength to smile at the boy. 

It was an accident that Michael had said that, at the start, since Michael couldn't say his Ts or Ls (Tommy liked that he couldn't say Ls, so that he'd stay winning) . And now, Michael just does it for fun and as a memory, and Tubbo stills laughs at their nonsense. 

Since the beginning, Michael and Tommy has had a fun bond. Like all their strings just sort of met up to one another. Michael couldn't be any happier, since Tommy is his favorite uncle! Or Mommy. Maybe both!, Michael considered. 

The small man in the yellow shirt and jumper stood up, and hugged the past-Blonde as tight as he could, and Tommy only felt himself sub-consciously hug back.

He was always there for Michael as he did Shroud (Before Shroud went up to Tommy of course) . He was the uncle that he knew Michael needed most. He had to be there for everything Michael did, to make Michael's childhood and future didn't end up like his. 

His childhood was very certainly bad. Neglected since Tubbo was found in a box by the street, in which Tommy was 5, participated in a war when he was 9.. exiled.. so many things happened. 

Tubbo saw Tommy's stiff movements, and hesitated between pulling Michael and him away from the hug. He seemed.. comfortable with Michael. 

"Tommy? Can me and you have a chat outside? Have some fresh air?" Tubbo offered, and Tommy signed a yes. 

They walked out, and both sighed. The tension in there, the staring between Technoblade, Philza and Tommy, the presence of Ghostboo, it was much a relief when they went outside for some fresh air. 

The cold snow hitting both their boots, but not dealing the slightest of freezing cold touch to them. 

Jackets on both of them, the cold breeze wasn't much. To Tommy, it felt like nothing at all. It all felt weird.. the sudden loss of.. everything, Past Tommy probably couldn't handle that, and he'd thought of the many missed opportunities he would've had to avoid the rows of death he experienced. 

If only he went to Phil faster.. if he ran quicker, he probably would not have been able to grab his wrist and kill him out of suffocation. 

Tubbo picked up on his heavy breathing and held his hand, staring into the wide blue eyes. 

Tubbo would have been bored of this, he should've, but it was his best friend we were talking about. 

He'd never get bored of his best friend. 

Tommy flinched at the touch, even if he felt very little. Tubbo saw this, and loosen his grip. Not to the point that they didn't hold hands, neither being too tight. It was just right for the two. 

The soft winds of the sky, Goddess Prime seemed happy this very moment. The sun was shining, directly above them, and even if it was the middle of day, Tubbo felt the stars glow from this sudden closeness. 

Tubbo hesitated. 

Tubbo hesitated before wrapping his arms around his shoulders, afraid of how Tommy would react. He already saw him flinch when they were just holding hands, what about a hug? 

And so they held hands in silence, walking past the crater that is, L'manburg, and going to their bench, listening to Cat or Mellohi in peace.
