Protecting you

Chapter 19

'~Tubbo~'

I comb through my hair slowly, Tommy fell asleep a hour ago, Teddy was out cold by 5 pm. I'm the only one awake right now, might as well get some stuff done. I carefully close the bathroom door before peaking into our room, I see Teddy cuddled up next to Tommy.

I smile before walking towards the courtyard. It's a new moon tonight, the fall night brings whistling and birds flying over the moon. I sit down under the willow tree keeping my eyes on the sky. I spot at least fifty different bright stars attempting to over power the smaller ones.

"Tubbo?" A soft voice asks from behind me. I turn around just as strong arms wrap around my chest. I already know it's Tommy, he's the only one that is even remotely hands on with me. I feel his breath near my right ear.

"Yeah?" I mumble back as I put my hand on his. He leans into me, his head resting on mine. His hands move down to my waist as he turns me around.

"Are you alright?" He asks, I lean into his chest before nodding. This isn't unusual, Tommy and I are comfortable with each other enough for this to not feel awkward.

"Why are you up Toby?" He whispers as he starts playing with my hair. I shrug, I then realize what he called me. I look up at him with a questioning eye brow.

"Tommy?" I manage to mutter that much before he hugs me close to his chest again. His scent is familiar by now, the pine wood soap he uses everyday, the pine smell of his cologne that he insists to wear.

I collapse into his arms, I'm scared. Scared to go to bed, scared of the nightmares that follow, scared of what I'm going to loose. He kisses the top of my head lightly before rubbing circles into my back.

"It'll be alright, I'm here." He says, I burry my face deeper into the crook of his neck, one hand clutching the back of his shirt and the other in his own. He softly whispers things into my ear as I drift off, I lean into his warm chest as the darkness consumes me.

'~Tommy~'

I feel his weight shift into me, he's fast asleep. I pick him up bridal style as I walk towards the opening to the courtyard. I look over at the willow tree before stopping and heading towards the huge tree. I duck under the branches before setting him down on the grass.

I kiss his forehead as I go to lay beside him. He immediately clutches on to me when presented the chance. I love him. I feel him burry his nose into my neck, I can also feel his breath, the scent of honey and roses drifts through my nose. I close my eyes resting as I rest my head on top of his as the worlds slowly goes black.
