Always The Villian (Disc Duo Switch Role AU) || Tommy & Dream [Dream SMP]

Forgiveness..? || Chapter 8

 "Wilbur? What brings you here mate?" Phil asked looking at Wilbur who was standing in front of him, smiling awkwardly at him while waving. He had gone all the way from where he was til here, a nice visit to Phil wouldn't hurt, right? As he stood there in front of the door with Phil inside the cabin, smiling just towards him; nothing else. How long has he not seen Phil? Ah, right.. after he blew up his own country then got killed by his own father and now look at where he is, standing right in front of him not feeling any regret or sympathy but there was a bit deep down inside him.

"Hey, Phil. Mind if I uh.. come in?"

"Sure, mate." Phil smiled as he steps aside and let Wilbur in. The door closed behind him, Wilbur sat down on the chair with Phil standing in front of him leaning against the wall and looking at him, silence only filled the air between them. 

No word, just silence before Wilbur broke the silence with a chuckled.

"So, how.. you been doing?" He asked with no expression on his face, staring down at the floor.

Phil just let out a soft chuckle as well, smiling. "Ah, been good mate. You?"

Wilbur didn't respond back except just a soft hum in response along with Phil nodded his head back in response. It has been long, hasn't it?, Wilbur thought staring down at the floor not daring to look at Philza, Phil, his father. The one who killed him, how did he have the courage to come here and meet face to face with him? Wilbur never really knew, as much as he wants to ask Phil about that day... he didn't have the courage or the bravery to ask him that.

"So, Wil. What have you been doing? Since after your revival.." Phil asked looking at him, not taking his eyes off Wilbur.

But he kept silent before assuring a soft smile on his face, "Well, here and that. Tommy has been helping me, quite a good fella'." 

Phil chuckled in response, smiling. "Yeah, Tommy has his usual free time."

"Heh, he does," Wilbur responds back along with also a soft smile but still not looking at Phil.

”Hey, Phil. Can I ask you something?” 

Phil looks at Wilbur, raising an eyebrow. “What is it, mate?” Wilbur kept silent at first before finally lifting his head up and looking at Phil right in the eyes, Phil saw the emptiness in his expression but he saw sadness in his eyes. 

"Do you... forgive me?" Wilbur asked muttering, smiling sadly. 

Phil was surprised by his question but only a soft smile formed on his face as he responded with a soft, "Yes."

"But why? Back then I-.." Wilbur didn't manage to finish his sentence but only being hugged by Phil in his arms, he felt comfort. Comfort.. he felt comfort, he felt safe. 

"That was in the past, mate.. I've forgiven you for a long time even though I have regret for so many things but.." Phil lets go of Wilbur and placed his hand on his shoulder. 

"Is there anyone you want to forgive?" Phil asked. Wilbur remained quiet,  forgive someone?..  Wilbur thought, who does he have to forgive? Deep down inside, he felt he had someone he wanted to say sorry to but-..  who?

"I.. don't know, I feel like I have..-" Then Wilbur thinks back to the time the days he spent with Tommy, the memories they had spent together. Wilbur knew right there and then, that he should forgive him but how should he even say it? He couldn't even say one, easy simple word. A 'sorry', is one simple easy word. But he could not say it. He couldn't bear to say it, not in front of Tommy. Not even to anyone, or to himself. And yet, he remained silent as he looked at Phil. Forgive..? Will Tommy even forgive him? But Tommy had already forgiven him a long time ago, right? 

Right..?  

As Wilbur stood up, he walked over to the window and not spoke a word, not look at Phil but he responded with only a few soft words. 

–

"..No, I don't."
