the misadventures of a little bee || Dad!Schlatt AU || SBI + Tubbo-centric

"Did you know my dad?"

"Oh, I sure knew him, kid. He was a real-- tart, to put it lightly."

Tubbo looked down dolefully. And here he'd thought his dad would be just like how Phil had described 𝘩𝘪𝘮- kind, cheerful, a bubbly ray of sunshine. He didn't care what everyone kept saying about his dad though, he still wanted to find him. To meet him. To be held in his arms again.

Tubbo has been living with the Soots ever since he was a toddler. He loves them, he really does. But when Tommy retrieves something else from Wilbur's desk while trying to steal back a pen, the two are shocked to learn that Tubbo wasn't abandoned maliciously at all. He had a father that was forced to leave him in a park in order to keep him safe and out of reach of the family they'd run from. Phil is trying to dissuade him, Wilbur won't elaborate on why he had the letter at all, and Techno is out traveling, but Tommy is just as excited as his adopted brother to discover what happened and together they embark on a journey to solve the mystery of where his father is.
