Where are you? (DreamSMP short)

part four

Tubbo broke.

He didn't know how long he spent sobbing in the nether.  The person who took him there comforted him, held him, spoke soft nothings to try to get him to calm down.  Tubbo couldn't.  His breaths were shallow and sharp, sobs penetrating the soft bubbling of the lava.

"What are you doing?"  A new voice washed over Tubbo.  Not the voice of the one holding him.  This was darker.

"Dream."  The man holding Tubbo greeted.  "It's Tommy.  Something happened to him, you may want to see."  Tubbo stared up at Dream, who wordlessly nodded and stepped through the portal with grace.

"Who- who are you?"  Tubbo asked, voice still choked.  "I can't see, I'm sorry-"

"No, don't apologize. It's Eret."  Tubbo grimaced.  He should have guessed from the low voice and strong arms.  "Hey Tubbo.  I know that this is really hard right now.  The castle is closer to the community portal, I have some spare rooms.  You can stay with me for the night."  Tubbo nodded mutely, whispering thanks.

The rest of the walk was a blur.  Tubbo was still crying, Eret still holding him gently and guiding him, so he didn't have to see where he was going.

There was the community portal... the prime path... Eret's castle.  Tubbo was practically asleep on the male's shoulder.  As they were walking up the steps, Tubbo tripped, and Eret effortlessly scooped him up in his arms, walking him in a bridal style up to one of his spare rooms.  Laying Tubbo down on the bed, Eret unclasped his flag and  draped it over Tubbo.  Tubbo, remembering vaguely Eret's outfit, also remembered his footwear.

How the hell was he able to carry me in five inch heels?

Tubbo let out a small snort of delirious laughter, and fell dead asleep.

Three months later

Most of the pain was gone.  Tubbo still thought about him, though he had never seen him again.  There were still nights when he cried himself to sleep.  There were still memories that plagued his thoughts.  But for the most part he was okay.  There was peace on the SMP.  It was almost time to elect a new president, so he would probably have to step down.  Maybe he could see Eret more.  It would be nice to spend more time with his bees.

But he really wanted to spend it with Tommy.
