"It's so fucking hard to keep going like this." Ranboo sobbed into Tubbo's shoulder.
"I know Boo, but I need you okay? I fucking need you and no matter what I fucking saying you're not like Liam, you're not going to turn out like him and everything is going to be okay." Tubbo encouraged, but Ranboo continued to cry.
Outside Phil was also crying, this time he was in Wilbur's arms. Wilbur felt truly unsure on how to help his father, how do you deal with your kid saying you're not their dad?
Eventually Phil pulled away, calmed down a bit.
"Do you wanna head back to bed? I promise we got the boys taken care of, Eret, Niki, Techno and I are completely sober, so we can make sure the boys stay safe." Wilbur said and Phil nodded.
"I think I'm going to make some tea first." Phil said as he stood up.
"I can make it for you, you just go up to bed and I'll bring it to you." Wilbur offered and Phil began to shake his head.
"Wil, I don't need you to-" Phil started but Wilbur cut him off.
"Let me take care of you, okay?" Wilbur asked and while Phil still felt crappy about what happened with Tommy, he felt better with how nice Wilbur was being.
"Okay." Phil agreed and Wilbur smiled. They made their way back inside, and Phil stood with Wilbur in the kitchen for a moment. "I'm scared to see what happens, I don't want things to get all crazy and change."
"Things won't change, we just need some time and things will settle." Wilbur said and Phil nodded. "Now go."
Phil smiled softly again and went to the stairs while Wilbur stayed in the kitchen. When Phil reached the bottom of the stairs he saw Tommy asleep on the couch, and Phil was just glad that he was still home. He continued all the way up the stairs until he was in his room.
Wilbur made the cup of tea, doing his best not to add too much cream like Tommy said to him once, and then brought up to Phil. When he was done he went down to Techno's room, and saw Tubbo was in there along with everyone else but Tommy.
"Hey Wil." Eret smiled when they saw him.
"Hey, where's Tommy?" Wilbur asked.
"Out sleeping on the couch." Niki said and Wilbur turned around to look, but Tommy wasn't on the couch.
"No he isn't." Wilbur said in confusion. This made several people concerned, Tubbo and Niki standing up quickly.
"He was just out there, I've only been in here for about 6 minutes." Tubbo said and Wilbur nodded, turning to go back out of Techno's room.
"I'll go check his room, you just check to see if he's anywhere downstairs." Wilbur instructed as he made his way back to the stairs. The other two agreed and Wilbur ran up the stairs. He went to Tommy's room, and thanked the lord he was there. "Shit Tommy, you scared us." Wilbur said.
He then noticed Tommy had grabbed a backpack, the same backpack he had showed up with all those months ago. It was still broken, and patchy, covered in duct tape and barely usable in Wilbur's opinion. Tommy took the backpack and put his blanket in it, along with Henry the cow and the flannel Liam gave him.
"What are you doing?" Wilbur asked him, but Tommy ignored him. He closed the bag and put it on. Tommy then pushed past Wilbur and began to make his way downstairs. "Tommy, what are you doing?" Wilbur repeated.
