A tale of Mercury. (DSMP/MCYT)

1. School sucks, but maybe it could be fine.

TW: Abuse, slurs, bullying etc (abuse isn't graphic.)

"Mr Minecraft." " Mr Minecraft!" "Thomas!" I jolt, in front of me is the teacher, Mrs Conway."are you back with us now Thomas, if so then maybe you can stop disturbing the rest of the class."

It's just then I notice the class is smirking and laughing at me. "Sorry!" I manage the squeak out, embarrassed.

Putting my head in my arms, I end up zoning out for the rest of the English class.

I walk over to the doors to go to lunch, "Tommy!" I see Tubbo running up to me, Ranboo behind him. "Hi tubs, sorry I didn't see you haha" I say awkwardly. "Hi R-Ranboo." I manage to stutter out. 'Awkward' I thought. Though ranboo just giggled. They went slight closer to me and tubbo, that was when I noticed, 5 boys was coming closer to us, The leader Ethan, who has bullied me since year 4 saying, "well look who it is, tara the tranny."

I looked away, they were right, but it still hurt. I was shocked out of my self deprecating thoughts by ranboo saying, "tommy is his name, and he's a boy."

Ethan just laughed, "of course the nonbinary freak sticks up for the tranny"

Then he punched me, "arghh!" I fell to the floor. "What the hell is wrong with you!" Tubbo shouted angrily.

But before anything could escalate any further, the maths teacher, mr Collins, said "well boys let's break it up. Don't want to get in trouble, do we Mr Minecraft." "Come on Ethan." He said.

Of course, mr Collins being Ethan's uncle, he would stick up for him. Ethan just gave me us a glare, then mouthed to me threateningly "I'll pay you back for this."

I collapsed against the wall in relief. "Tubbo, please, just take me home. I'll be fine." I tried to sound confident, but it just came out quiet.

"Tommy-" he looked hesitant. "I- I'll take you home, but promise you'll let me take care of your face."

Right, my face... I forgot about that. Perhaps I'm just used to the pain by now.

"Alright." I grumbled. I didn't need this, I'm not weak. I'm a man.

We walked up to my front door, of course no one was in, obviously. I took my keys out and unlocked it.

I led him to my room. He took out some Vaseline and a wipe. "This is going to sting, but you probably already know that, seen as thought we've been here so many times" tubbo probably didn't mean anything bad by this, but it hurt.
My heart ached painfully.

"Just get it over with" I mumbled.

"Alright..." he said and inched closer to me. He took the antiseptic wipe and cleaned my lip, since it was cut. I inhaled sharply. The pain was dull but it hurt like fuck.

"It's okay. I'm done" he promised.

I grabbed the Vaseline and rubbed it over my cheek, where the bruise was.

"Thank you, tubbo" I whispered.

"Tommy-" he hugged me. I choked on a sob. "It's okay" he whispered, like if he talked any louder, it would break us both.

We startled apart when we heard the front door.

"Thomas!" The person shouted "get down here now."

"Phil's back." I said fearfully. "Tubbo- you- you need to go now!" I shout whispered, pushing him to the window, which I opened. There was a tree that he could climb down.

"Sorry tubs, but you know Phil won't like it if you're here" I said sadly.

"I know." He started "please text me to let me know you're alright." He pleaded

"I will." I promised.

"See you" I said.

I sat down on my head hastily, just as the door burst open.

"Thomas" he growled out "we need to talk."

"Alright" I said shakily.

"You started a fight again." He stated.

"No!" I said A bit to loudly. "It was them, it was Ethan."

"Ethan wouldn't do that, he's good, unlike you." He said, somehow threateningly.

"Phil- please, Please believe me" I sobbed.

"Phil? I'm your father Tommy." He glared and then as he was leaving my room, he growled out "you'd better think about what you've done wrong." Then slammed my door shut.
