"So let me get this straight... You were sitting in the living room and you were planning to run towards the door so you could meet us there... Then you slipped on the carpet and hit your head on the table?" Wilbur asked Tommy and the boy nodded while happily taking his ice pack from Techno. "Tommy you've got to be more careful- If you get a concussion one of these days that's all on you."

"Yeah- Yeah- I get it big man. No more jumping off the couch and stuff like that. Hear you loud and clear," Tommy said with a slight chuckle as he held the ice pack closer to his head. He was glad they couldn't see through his lie. He didn't want them to find out about Tubbo... They would think he's crazy or something.

"Just be careful idiot," Techno said as he checked the back of Tommy's head again. He lifted Tommy's hand from the spot he had hit his head, Techno clearly being able to see the growing purple bump on the back of his head. "Just be careful ok? You got off easy with this one. Remember we've only got each other here."

"Ok... So you were wandering towards the attic like you always do then came back because you heard the humans coming home? Then you walked in on all of us trying to find you?" Dream asked and Tubbo nodded happily with a smile. "And none of them saw you right? None of the humans know we're here?"

"Yep! I made sure no one saw me! One of them might have felt a breeze or something but the door was open so it's probably fine," Tubbo said happily and Dream just nodded running a hand through his hair, ruffling it a bit. Tubbo was glad he got off easy and smiled at his brother. If Dream had found out that he had interacted with Tommy he didn't know what the others would do.

"I'm just glad you're safe Tubbo," Dream said and Tubbo nodded, knowing his brother was staring at him from behind the mask. "Tell me when you're going out next time ok? Or at least tell Bad. I want someone to know where you are so we know that you're safe. We've only got each other here."

While Tommy was waiting for the two to finish lunch he was waiting up in his room. He could smell the soup from upstairs and he smiled. He flopped down on his bed but was quick to get back up when he realized he landed on something. When he got up he saw that the bee plush was still sitting on his bed and the moobloom plush was on his bedside table. He picked them both up and held them up in the air above his face. He looked at them for a while before smiling a bit. They were actually pretty cute plushies... No wonder Tubbo loves them so much.

"You promise to take care of them for me?" A familiar voice echoed around Tommy's room making him jump a bit. He was going to have to get used to that... Tommy sat up, searching the room as he looked for the brunette. Soon he spotted Tubbo who was sitting by the window, his legs swinging back and forth. "Well...? You promise to take care of them right? Nothing will happen to them?" Tubbo asked and Tommy was quick to nod in response.

"I promise Tubbo. I'll never let anything happen to them," Tommy said and he actually meant it. He didn't know why but he cared for the brunette. He cared more than he thought he would. "I'll protect them for as long as I live Tubbo," He smiled and Tubbo smiled back. The ghost boy floated from the window, sitting at the edge of Tommy's bed. The two just sat there enjoying each other's company. But then Tommy remembered the question he was going to ask the brunette before they were interrupted.

"Hey Tubbo? What did you mean earlier when you said 'we'...? Who else is living in this house Tubbo?" Tommy asked and the brunette sighed, looking out of the window. "Tubbo? You ok? You don't have to answer if you don't want-"

"All of us..." Tubbo started, Tommy was quick to shut his mouth so he could listen to the boy. "Everyone in that photo is tied to this house. It's our home... We can't leave. Dream, Sapnap, George, and Bad. All of us are here. They don't go out much so you won't see them around much anyways," Tubbo said and Tommy turned to the boy.
