we walk down the aisles looking for a small enough space heater that it wont be a hassle to get up 2 flights of stairs. as we're walking down we find some board games and puzzles, we grabbed 4 puzzles (because i love them) and 8 board games. we finally get to where the heaters are, we grab one and head to check out. "hey y/n?" i hum in response, "are you sure you dont mind sharing your bed with me?" i stop and turn around to look at him, "tommy i trust you, and i know you the most out of everyone, if i minded i'd have said something.." he nods, "yeah- but like i just dont want you to be uncomfortable," i sighed, "tommy, like i said, if i'd minded or felt uncomfortable i'd have said something, i promise," he smiled and we continued walking to the check out. 

before we can get there though we get stopped by a small group of girls, "hi, are you tommyinnit?" he sheepishly chuckles, "yeah that's me, hi," they giggle, "can we get a photo with you?" he nods and goes to take a photo with them. after a few moments of stuggling i get pulled over to take the picture, "hi, so sorry to bother you, but do you think you could take a photo of us? we can't seem to get it," i nod and head over there. "1. 2. 3!" i took a few pics of them, "girls im so sorry but we have somewhere to be, by everyone," tommy says walking over to me. i give them the phone back and we head to the check out counter (finally)

i go to pay but tommy already has his card in the reader, "uh??" i say looking between him and the card. "i figured i'd pay," he states blankly. i sigh and shake my head, "you seem to forget who i am tom, im pretty sure i've got more than you, you should've let me get that, it's for my house anyway!"  he shakes his head, "and? let me pay for you!" i sigh and we leave the store.

after getting home we take the heater and tubbo and Ranboo upstairs to the attic, "so this is ya'll's room for the time youre here, theres a bathroom just down there, i'm sorry i havent had a chance to get the rest of my stuff from up here, i was staying up here for a while," tommy grabs my arm, "why were you up here?" i shake my head, "just a lot of- memories in my room, i guess, and i liked it up here a bit more cause there werent any in here just yet," tommy looks around and looks back at me, "can we uh," he points up, gesturing that we should go talk on the roof, i nod, "i'll let you guys get comfortable, tommy and i will be in my room if you need something, or schlatt is wherever he may be, i'll give you a proper tour later," they nod and start unpacking their things. 

tommy and i head to my room and grab a blanket and some pillows as well as a lantern. then we headed up to the roof, "so what did you wanna talk about?" i say setting our stuff up. "well uh, earlier you said there were too many memories?" i nod, "yeah, uh what i meant was there was just a lot that happened in there, and up here, especially in my coma... i couldnt take it at first, and then when i came back down i realized that it was comforting in a way, but also not? i dont know how to explain it.." he nods, "yeah i get what you mean, when i first stepped into your room today it felt stepping through a time machine," i laughed, "walking around here after not being here in so long felt like going through a time machine, not a lot has changed in 3 years, but then so many things have," i say looking at him and then looking towards the sunset. he holds his gaze at me for a moment, i turn to look at him. i know that look in his eyes. i know it all too well because it's all i've known from him. 

a gaze so intense that it pulls you into it, slowly, deeply. a gaze so instense it burns you every so slightly. i looked at him gently, my eyelashes fluttering in the breeze every few seconds. it felt as though time stopped. 

well until there was a knock on my bedroom door, i slid down the roof to go down onto the ledge where my window is but tommy grabbed me, "dont," he says breathlessly. i fight every urge in my soul that kept telling me to stay, "i can't," i silde into the window and head to the door, "hey y/n, we're settled, can we have the tour," tubbo asked. i smiled, "yeah- uh yeah let me just- uh i'll be there in a sec? wait for me downstairs!" he nods and i close my door, "shit. shit shit shit shit shit," i whisper. i shake off the feeling we had up there, i peek my head out the window, "i'm gonna give toby and Ran the tour, i'll be back soon, we can continue our conversation then?" i hear some shuffling, "yeah! let's do that, i'll come with you to give them the tour, we can leave this stuff up here right?" i think for a sec, "it should be fine, the lantern is heavy," he climbs down and comes in the room. 

we head downstairs and meet everyone in the living room, "hey! so just letting you know i'm gonna probably go upstairs after the tour and work, so if everyone could just not bother me, other than tom, cause hes sleeping in there, that would be great!" they agree and we start the tour. i show them around and share memories from the times i lived here, most of them were with tommy. when we finish the tour tommy and i head over to my room, "alright, so im gonna go work, i'm assuming youre gonna edit or something right?" i say looking to tommy, he nodded and we waved goodnight to everyone.


tubbo pov:

"sooo, something is going on with them right?" ran asked from beside me, i think for a sec, "i think? or maybe they just need to figure out their issues cause when y/n left the UK last time there was a lot that happened that none of us knew about, well i mean i had an idea cause she told me some of it, but not all of it.." ran nodded and we headed up to our room. i sat down and decided i wanted some fresh air so i opened the window but i heard talking. "y/n, that moment earlier-" tommy says, "yeah- that, that was-" y/n responds, "yeah..." i decided i shouldn't listen so i went to close the window, "y/n, i dont think my feelings for you are completly gone.."
