The hushed whispers throughout the room grew to silence as the all noticed Wilbur's hand twitch. When they had brought him in, the cleaned him off, fixed his wounds, and placed him in bed to rest. Everyday they had carefully fed and cared for him, hoping that he would make it through that day. His burns were bad, but Niki and Tommy had been able to create a remedy that healed them slowly day by day. Through the week, he had gained consciousness a few times, only to fall back under a few seconds later. Every time they had sat in silence, hoping it would be the time he finally wakes up.
Just as they were losing hope, Wilbur slowly opened his eyes.
"Wilbur!" They all cried, running to his side.
"What? Where am I? I thought-"
"Shh, Wilbur. Everything is okay. Fundy found you, and brought you back," Niki quieted him.
"Does that mean- Tubbo-" Wilbur questioned. Everyone looked at the floor, unable to answer. "Oh."
The four sat in silence for a moment.
"How are you feeling?" Fundy questioned.
"Everything hurts, but I will manage." Wilbur winced in pain.
"I will go get some water and pain medicine for you," Niki stated before running out of the room.
Tommy sat back in his chair, keeping eye contact with the floor.
"Tommy?" Wilbur felt tears reach his eyes.
Tommy didn't move. He couldn't move. Not yet, he couldn't process everything.
"Tommy, please," Wilbur begged. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to cause you any pain. I never meant to survive. I thought everyone in Pogtopia could live happily and eventually everyone would forget me. Forget the pain."
The silence rose the tension.
"I thought you were dead, Wilbur," Tommy said, finally meeting Wilbur's eyes. "I couldn't handle the guilt of you and Tubbo! I DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE ANYMORE, WILBUR!" Tommy couldn't contain the tears anymore as he stood up and released his thoughts. "YOU THOUGHT WE COULD JUST FORGET YOU! You and Tubbo were my BEST FRIENDS! I could NEVER forget you." Tommy stormed out the door, pushing past Niki, who was walking back in. Fundy and Wilbur sat in shock.
