t/w: fighting, blood, overall violence (stay safe <3)

Fear was a very normal idea to Tubbo.

Hell, he experienced fear so regularly from the whole 'Hero School' deal. The fear from school is sometimes so extreme that he reconsiders his position in 1A.

Though, this time it felt different. It was so raw, so real.

This was the type of fear that filled every part of your body with unhealthy amounts of adrenaline. The type of fear that threw logic out the window and only left the word survive in your head.

The type of fear that put death in the picture.

"Fight."

The words bounced around so much in Tubbo's head. He couldn't help but cry. 

He couldn't define the look in Drista's eyes. They meant so many words yet nothing could define it. So dull though they still screamed emotions.

"Go on. Fight. I don't have all day."

Her eyes flared a bright green and Tubbo already knew his fate.

Seeing all of his friends get taken out of the room made Tubbo feel sick.

"They're all dead because I was a pussy. What kind of hero will I be if I let my friends die like that." Tubbo silently scolded himself. He grabbed his head in mental anguish. "You failed them. You failed Ranboo." Another tear fell down his cheek.

"Tubbo?"

His head shot up from his hands, "Drista?" He croaked out.

Her eyes glistened green while her lips trembled. "Tubbo, I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry."

"Drista, please. Don't do it. I can't die. There's still too much I have left to do." He choked out a sob.

Her quirk wavered in her eyes, "Please, have sweet dreams for me when you sleep."

"Drista- There has to be another way. What happened to our friendship-"

"I can't leave my brother alone. I-"

"I can't leave Tommy."

Beats passed as they wept. 

"Tubbo- please..." This time Drista verbally spoke. Her quirk let go of Tubbo for the time being.

"I can't die. I can't." He choked on his sobs, holding onto himself.

The image of Ranboo being taken away sent terror to every part of his body.

"Please..." She began walking towards him. Her steps were unsure but she continued towards him.

"Don't come closer."

"Tubbo-"

"You can't do this to me." He cried out of gritted teeth.

She continued to approach Tubbo, "We can come up with a plan... they're watching us right now."

He glanced at the people, no, villains who captured them. "Okay..."

The two walked towards each other slowly. Knowing that eyes laid on them was unsettling.

"Let's just circle each other for now."
