! DROWNING SORROWS !

[Fuck you...]

Tubbo walked with Wilbur, silently. They'd been walking in silence for quite some time.

As they walked, Tubbo remembered when what they had said to him bothered him far too much. Tubbo remembered the time when he had stayed in his room in the L'manburgian castle and not a soul cared.

"What was he doing?" You may ask, and the answer is simple. Tubbo had been upset that day; for many of the L'manburgians had made fun of him and called him a fool. Tubbo would stay in his room, panicking, trying to calm himself down, afraid that somebody would hear his quick yet short breaths.

But Tubbo also wanted them to notice; to notice his unearthly struggle of these simple, meaningless names they gave him.

Like idiot,

Or moron,

Or fool.

Tubbo had panicked for hours and hours and not a soul noticed. He wanted them to care but he also wanted them to stay away.

Tubbo sighed, trying to keep calm. Wilbur was right next to him, and if he started to freak out, he'd make fun of him.

They arrived at a balcony. The sun was setting over the balcony. It was quite the view.

"Tubbo, are you alright?" Wilbur asked, leaning over the side of the balcony, tilting his head towards Tubbo. "Answer honestly."

Oh, how much Tubbo wanted to say no.

Tubbo smiled his usual, happy smile.

"Yeah! Im okay!"

Wilbur looked at Tubbo sadly.

"Are you sure?" He asked. Tubbo's smile faltered and he looked over the side of the balcony, hoping that the sun would blur the visibility of the fake smile.

"Yes."

Wilbur sighed and faced Tubbo completely. "Tell me the truth, Tubbo. Is it Tommy?"

Tubbo's smile was gone at this point. "Please stop."

"It is him. I-" Wilbur started, but Tubbo cut him off. "It's not him. I just didn't hear you! And I just had a bad day, I'm okay. Really!" Tubbo said, forcing his smile.

Wilbur sighed. "Alright, that's all. You can go."

Tubbo left the balcony and walked down the halls. Wilbur went back to Fundy and Tommy to speak with them about something not known by Tubbo.

Tubbo walked outside to the courtyard. He sat infront of the flowers, enjoying the view of them.

A bee buzzed by.

It was sort of oversized, like all of the bees; but this one was slightly larger and looked alot cuter.

The bee buzzed in Tubbo's ears; and he could understand it.

"They're hurting you. You should hurt them back."

The bee buzzed softly and innocently, as if they'd only ever tell the truth.

Tubbo looked at the bee.

"What..?" He asked softly, and the bee buzzed happily, a little cute smile forming on its face.

"Drown them! Then they can't yell at you. Its okay! Its not wrong."

"Are you sure?"

"I never lie!" The bee buzzed happily, smiling its weird little smile.

Tubbo nodded.

"Now?"

The bee shook its head- or its body. "No, bzzt! Just wait until you're upset again, okay?"

Tubbo nodded.

This sounded like a geniunly good idea.
