Dream SMP oneshots

Tommy and Tubbo - Lanterns

A/N: When I say lanterns in this oneshot, I'm talking about the floaty things from Tangled. We need some wholesome Tommy and Tubbo after what happened in the SMP yesterday. There is a bit of angst at the end. Wilbur, Ranboo, Quackity,Phil, Fundy and Eret are mentioned, but don't have that big of a role so I didn't include them in the title.

Tommy

Tommy sat on the bench, feet propped up on his jukebox. He was listening to Chirp and watching the colourful lanterns rise into the air. Ghostbur had spent the entire week creating and handing out lanterns (both plain and pre-decorated), and telling people to release them into the sky on Sunday at exactly midnight, saying it would "be a fun bonding experience for all!" Wilbur had hosted a workshop where you could decorate them, and Tommy (reluctantly) had to ask him for help. Will would never let him live this down.

Tommy was waiting for the lantern releasing shit to begin. He had seen Ghostbur, Fundy and Phil heading to the bay earlier, carrying their lanterns. Will had the most intricate one, with lace attached. Even though Wilbur had helped him with his, Tommy still felt a bit insecure about the kinda boring design his lantern had. "Oh well. Too late to change it now," he had told himself.

He could see Eret in his tower. Eret had an LGBTQ+ flag on his lantern. The former traitor of L'manburg looked over at Tommy and waved. Tommy waved back.

Ranboo adored his lantern. It was half black, half white, with red and green stripes. He had shown it off to Tommy, saying that the colours were exquisite. Ranboo had gone up the Pink Cobblestone Tower planning to "yeet it as far as he can," in his words. The man had asked Tommy if Tommy wanted to release the lanterns with him.
"Y'know, so your not alone?" He had reasoned. Although chucking lanterns off the Pink Cobblestone Tower seemed fun, Tommyinnit declined.

Tommy didn't want to go with anyone other than Tubbo. Tubbo was his closest friend! But ever since Tubbo became president, he was always busy. Whether it was fixing the enormous crater in the middle of the country, or stacks of paperwork, Tubbo always had something to do. It was like he didn't have time for any of his friends. It sounded cheesy but it was true. There was a reason Tommy wanted Wilbur to be president. Sure, the man was completely insane, but he was coming around! And Tommy was afraid that he and Tubbo would.. grow apart. And in Tommy's mind, they had.

Tubbo

Tubbo swung his backpack onto his back as he rushed out the grey house. He had to get there on time.
"Hey Quackity!" He called at a man passing by. "How's Mexican L'manburg doin'?"
"Great!" Came the reply. The two fist-bumped and continued their separate journeys. Tubbo walked along the path to Tommy's house, occasionally turning around to look at the view.
"Oof!" Tubbo bumped into someone. He turned around to face Ghostbur. Despite what ghost stories will tell you, ghosts are extremely solid.
"Hey Tubbo! I was just heading to my Library to get a book to read Phil and Fundy after the Lantern Releasing. Do you think How To Sex 2 is a good idea?" Tubbo struggled to hold back his laughter.
"U-uh yeah! Go for it Will!" Tubbo checked his watch. "But you only have 10 minutes, because it's 11:50." He paused. "Oh sh-" Tubbo muttered and he ran for the hills. Ghostbur stared at him blankly.
"What the fuck."

Tommy

The blonde boy checked the time. 11:51. Tommy sighed and pulled his lantern out of his backpack. It was white with a thick red line painted around the top. In the middle, Tommy's prized possessions were painted on. His music disks. Mellohi and Cat. He had given Tubbo one of them, to prove that he trusted him. Dream had the other one. That bastard.

Tommyinnit watched his L'manburg from his little bench. They had spent months fighting for this small bit of land. Wilbur had worked so hard to make it a safe space, for men to 'emancipate'. Tommy had no clue what that meant, but it sounded good. Tubbo had fixed the country after it got blown up. This plot of land had been through so much; it was practically a different place now. And the same applied for its inhabitants.
"Man that's deep.." Tommy muttered. He lent back on the bench, swallowed in the silence. Until...
"Tommy!" Tommy turned around to find Tubbo sprinting at him. What the fuck.
"Hey! I thought you were gonna be working on L'manburg shit," Tubbo had literally collapsed and was trying to get his breath back. Once Tubbo finally felt better, he dragged himself onto the bench.
"I took time off so I could surprise you. Big Law wasn't too happy about it though. I thought we should spend Ghostbur's Lantern thingy together! Y'know the fun for all event?" Tubbo and Tommy chuckled, as they stared at the view.
"Your so clingy Tubbo. Anyways, did you bring a lantern?" Tubbo reached into his backpack and pulled out a light blue lantern, with bees all over it and little white dots marking their journeys.
"I got Ghostbur to help me with it. What do ya think?"
"Nice. Yours has your second favourite thing on it."
"Second?"
"I'm obviously your favourite thing in the whole world. Just look at me!" Tommy posed dramatically as Tubbo burst into laughter.
"And am I your favourite thing as well?"
"I mean, your tied with the disks. To be fair you are my best friend."
"And I'm the clingy one?"
"Shut up bitch boy." Tommy punched Tubbo on the shoulder.
"So what does your lantern look like?"
"Well I'm glad ya asked my friend!" Tommy reached down and showed his off proudly.
"Oh of course you'd chose the disks."
"Shut the fuck up. At least I didn't need Wilbur's help with mine."
"Tommy I have known you for years. I know that you are absolutely shit at art."
"Shut it Tubster."

Suddenly both the boys phoned beeped. 12:00. The two grinned at each other and tossed their lanterns into the sky. The two lanterns slowly rose into the sky, gently twirling around each other. Wilbur was good at this shit. Tubbo slid closer to Tommy, and rested his head on Tommy's shoulder. In turn, Tommy draped his arm around the smaller boy, grinning. They sat there, watching the lanterns fly into the sky.

Technoblade

(A/NI know it wasn't in the title but I am doing it anyways)

Techno sat on the edge of a cliff overlooking L'manburg, watching lanterns rise into the sky.
"Bad for the environment.." he muttered. But he secretly wanted to be there. He secretly wanted to be chilling with Fundy, Phil and Wilbur, who he could see from his little spot. He secretly wanted to be eating cake with Niki. He secretly wanted to be throwing a lantern off of one of Eret's towers. He secretly wanted to be laughing with his family and his friends. But they had betrayed him. They knew how much he hated governments, yet used him to make their own. They hurt him. So he, in turn, hurt them. He had attacked them, spawned deadly withers all over their home. He had aided Wilbur in destroying L'manburg. None of them would ever trust him again. And he would never trust any of them.
