summary: both the reader and their brother tommy have been exiled from the smp and sent to a place two thousand blocks away. wilbur's dead, techno's run away and their father doesn't seem to care for them anymore. but it's okay, because at least they still have each other.

---

you missed the way things used to be. you smiled fondly as you relived the memories of you and your brothers, your father making his way into the mix a few times, too. though your smile was quickly replaced by a feeling of emptiness inside of you, tears pricking at your eyes. things will never be the same.

not even a month ago, you'd witnessed your father murder wilbur right in front of you. at that moment, you didn't care that he'd just blown up l'manburg. you didn't care that he was a villain. you just wished you could've done something to stop the inevitable, maybe if you did then wilbur would still be alive.

you knew you were lucky to be able to even speak to him still, as he was a ghost, but it didn't feel the same. you missed his brotherly hugs, the way you would fall asleep on his lap and he would carry you to bed, the way he would kiss you on the forehead and whisper you a soft goodnight, the way-

"morning, y/n!" you heard your brother, tommy, cheerfully greet you. you didn't say anything, only waving him a small hello and keeping your eyes set on the sunrise you had been watching. "you okay?" he asked, knowing you well enough to sense there was something wrong, and you didn't have the energy or the heart to hide it from him anymore.

you sniffed and stood up, pulling tommy into a tight hug that he certainly wasn't expecting, yet still graciously took in. he asked you what was wrong and you gave him the most honest answer you'd given him in a good while.

"i've been thinking a lot lately," you began, pulling away from tommy and inviting him to sit where you previously were, underneath a tree facing the picturesque sky. "everything was so much better when we were younger. we were a happy family, you know? sure, we wished we had a mum sometimes, but we were happy! we had each other, you know, it was me, you, wilbur and techno... us four against everything. and now," you paused to take a breath, trying not to let the tears bubble over "now they're gone, tommy. wilbur's fucking dead and we don't even know where techno is!"

you failed to hold back the tears that ran down your face, your brother pulling you into his side. you rested your face against his chest and muttered apologies to him, to which he said you had no reason. he chuckled morbidly before sharing his own feelings, and you listened like he had just listened to you.

"it's funny, really, because i've been thinking the same thing. of course i never want to see technoblade again after that fucking stunt he pulled, but i miss the old techno. you know, the techno who would tuck us into bed at night and play with us." tommy gently rubbed circles around your back as he spoke, continuing to reminisce about old times with your eldest brother. 

"and don't get me wrong, i still love wilbur just as much as i did before... but he's not the same now. half the time he doesn't even know what's going on, hell, i still don't think he even realises the real reason we've been exiled!" you gulp when you hear that last word; it still hadn't sunk in that you were really, truly banished from the smp.

tommy kept begging dream to let you two go back for one last time, and you knew he'd been considering sneaking in through the nether portal. you couldn't lie, you were scared. scared, because you knew that if dream found out he would kill him. then who would you be left with? it's not like you could go back to tubbo, and your father didn't seem particularly appealed to the idea of speaking to the two of you again, either.

you both sat in silence for a few minutes, too scared to break it. it took some courage, but you eventually spoke up.

"tomster?"

"hm?"

"i won't lose you, will i?" you asked nervously, and his eyes widened. tommy held you closer and you could see his eyes glazing over, was he crying?

"no, fuck no. you're never gonna lose me, y/n, i swear on my god damn fucking life!" you forced out a smile, beyond relieved that tommy was still there for you.

"good. because as long as we still have each other, i think we'll be okay." you both smiled as the sun rose, ghostbur - as you liked to call him - joining you not long after your conversation. he was so blissfully unaware of what was going on that you couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy towards him, but you were just glad the insane, power hungry demon was gone. right now, you were three siblings sitting underneath a tree in peace. one day, technoblade would join you all and things would be somewhat okay again, one day.
