You never cared.. so why should I?

what the fuck is happening to you guys.. hes corrupting your mind!

WARNING: UNDERAGE USE OF DRUGS, VAPING, UNDERAGE DRINKING
A/N: in my au, Purpled, Punz, and Aimsey are all siblings

It's been a week and Tommy still hasn't told Quackity that his location was tracked. Nothing happened yet, so he's assuming that nothing will happen. 

Currently, Tommy is hanging out with his friends. However Punz, Dream, George, and their other friend Sapnap also followed. They're sitting on a hidden bench at the back of their school and it's really fun for Tommy.

Quackity is busy with his secret business so he can't show up, but it didn't stop Tommy from coming to the small meetup. 

It's all going fine, until Tommy sees Dream pull out a vape and some bags filled with some random powder. Tommy's friends look uncomfortable, but they still agree when Dream hands the stuff to them. What the fuck!?

Tommy quickly stands up and refuses the offer as nicely as he can. "Tubbo, c'mon! You guys shouldn't be doing this. Let's just go now." 

No one looks towards Tommy and they leave him standing there in his thoughts. 

He doesn't know why they're doing this, but it's weird. Is it because they want approval from the new 'popular kids'?

Tommy doesn't know and he only slightly cares. He picks up his stuff and looks down at his friends.

"Don't talk to me until you sort yourselves out."
Tubbo shakily shrugs at him and he flinches at the reaction. They don't care about him. Of course not.

TOMMY

"Are you sure about this Tommy? I can come with you.." 

I shake my head, "You're already comfortable here.. I don't want to be the reason that you have to leave and risk your entire business." Quackity nods his head and hands me my luggage. 

"You remember what the house looks like, right?" I hesitantly nod at him and walk towards the cab. "Come visit sometime, will ya?" 

I wait for Quackity's response. It's probably the only thing that'll bring comfort to me right now. "Of course, Tommy."

I smile and enter the car while giving the driver directions to my new home.

FLASHBACK

Tommy hesitantly walks up to Quackity and crouches next to him. "Hey Big Q." Tommy hums while picking an overgrown flower from the dirt. "Hi Tom. Do you need something?" 

"I need to explain- well, tell you about something." Quackity quickly takes off his gloves and places them in the empty flower pot next to him. "Yeah? What is it?"

It takes a while for Tommy to get the words in order, but he eventually speaks. 

"My family tracked my location. They might come here any day now. And, me and my friends are kind of in a disagreement right now. I have nothing left here.." 

Quackity nods and seems to understand what's happening. 

Even if he doesn't want to, Quackity says, "You can stay at the house from before. I'm sure you'll like it there." Tommy smiles solemnly and stands up.

The house that Quackity just mentioned is something that Tommy hasn't seen in a while. 

Quackity bought the house in case any of his friends were in trouble and needed help. The house is something that is needed right now.

It's far from where everyone currently is and is a completely different neighborhood. A different school, different stores, and different people. 

...

"When do you need to leave?" Quackity asks after a few moments of silence. Tommy smiles weakly and speaks up. "I want to leave tomorrow." Quackity hesitantly nods and stands up as well while motioning for Tommy to follow him.

The two walk into a small closet and Quackity grabs a  key from a shelf. "Here. This is the key for the house I showed you." It hurts Quackity to even think about saying goodbye to his friend, but it's for the sake of both of them. "Thank you, Quackity," 

"Anytime."

Now, Tommy is standing in front of a spacious house with his over-sized luggage and things that Quackity gave him. 

No matter how many times he tried to decline the offer, Quackity is a stubborn person. 

He gave Tommy nearly 5 million dollars and a new phone so that no one can track him. It was a huge and really unnecessary gesture.

Tommy takes a step into the house and is hit with the nostalgic scent of wood and copper. He remembers when he first got a tour here, and he still remembers every room. The house is a one story building, but it's really spacious. 

After a while of walking around the already furnished house, Tommy opens his luggage and starts to unpack. 

‐----

Tommy has to go to his new school tomorrow, so he unpacked whatever he'll need for it. It isn't much, but it took him a long time just to take everything out and find a place for them. 

The burning beams from the sun are enough to make Tommy groan and open his eyes. Of course, he painfully closes them again when the sun nearly blinds him. 

One last groan leaves Tommy's mouth as he stands up to get ready for his new school. 

He showers and brushes his teeth before taking out his uniform and leaving his house with his backpack. 

Tommy hates having to wear a uniform, but he knows to suck it up and just deal with it. 

---

Tommy gets to the bus stop in record time and sees a few other kids there. He sits down on an available seat on the bench and turns on his phone. He's about to check his chats again, but someone unexpectedly walks up to him. 

"Hey! I'm Purpled, are you new to the school?" 

Tommy nods his head while turning off his phone and looking up at the person in front of him.

 "I'm Tommy. I just moved here from Pogtopia." Purpled's eyes light up at the mention of Pogtopia.

"Have you met Punz? He's my brother, but he chose to live with our adopted sister Aimsey since she seemed nicer than me." Purpled smiles proudly at Tommy and waits for a response.

 "Oh, yeah. I was friends with Aimsey. She usually brought you guys' brother with her whenever we hung out, but that led to some things going wrong. We don't really talk anymore because of that." 

Purpled nods in understanding and takes a seat next to Tommy. 

"Well, welcome to Manburg! It sounds like L'manburg, but there's definitely a difference somewhere. I'll show you around sometime. Maybe not on a weekday though. Oh! Can I have your number? Eh, I'll get it later. That's if I remember though. My memory isn't really that good anymore. I guess I'm getting old, but that's not possible because-..." 

Purpled continues to carelessly rant about random things and Tommy listens to every word. He's always wanted to meet someone that talks as much as him.
