Chapter Text
Tommy was walking through the mall weaving through the crowded place trying to ignore the weird looks he gets
He gets it though if he saw someone covered head to toe in hero merch he'd also give them a weird look, it wasn't his fault though blaze, dream, cosmos, and 404 had thought that if they dressed him head to toe in hero merch he would not attract the wrong type of people like villains in their civilian personas.
the only reason it all somehow matches is because it's all hero stuff, he has one of blazes white thin bandana things on like a head band he has a pair of cosmos's star glasses on top of his blond and red curls the handles being bright pink and the frame purple with the lenses being green with blocky swirls that are yellow, cosmos has given a few pairs out at some meet and greets and what not making them very rare and expensive.
He has a white and blue watch with the color inside being red under the clock part is a small tracker just in case.
He has necklace with a small porcelain replica of dreams mask glued back together from when he had broken it.
And as a finishing touch he has a limited edition split vest half of it being lime green lined with white and the other side being red and lined with black and on the back right at the split of colors is half of dreams smile mask on the green side and on the red side completing dreams mask is nightmares his side kicks black and red frown mask not to mention the smile and frowns drawn on his converses from blaze as a prank.
He's so sick and tired of being at hero tower that he's gave up on caring about the ridiculous outfit all he cares about is getting to tubbo and Ranboos stupid flower shop he thought it was dumb that they would buy a flower shop in a mall of all places but hey not his money not his problem.
Before he reaches the flower shop he goes to some random game store tubbo had been practically begging him for Tommy to buy him video games since he was broke after buying the flower shop and Tommy knew from other times to just get tubbo the games before he starts threatening him again tubbos the only person he could find scarier than dream(not that he would admit that he's a big man he’s not afraid of some bee obsessed over caffeinated child).
---
He was lying he's very scared he's now grabbing every game tubbo had in his Amazon wish list he has decided he will just use dreams card and hope to not get a bruise for it...
Tommys grabbing two copys of Minecraft for both Ranboo and tubbo when he hears someone snicker the guy sounds so annoying and he turns his head to see some stupid freakishly tall man with a long light brown trenchcoat his dark brown hair looking so messy Tommy wonders if the man has a hair brush but judging by his fancy shirt and gold jewelry one of his many necklaces having a Ruby on it he probably refuses to use one.
"What you laughing at you emo skinny jeans wearing Tory..." Tommy spits out with a low growl and the man grins and raises an eyebrow.
"Sorry sorry it's just... I'm surprised some fanboy would be out in public like tha-" the man freezes finally hearing all of what Tommy just said.
The man speaks up again "you little-! I'm not a Tory! You obsessed fanboy!" despite his upset tone the mans grinning ear to ear and Tommys already started to hate the fact this man exists.
Wait a minute "obsessed!?" he squeaks throwning the man off guard his eyes widening
"Um.... Yeah? Your decked out in merch and glasses that cost about as much as a car...."the man chuckles softly
Tommys eyes narrow and before he even realized it he's talking "I hate you... Your my new enemy I hate you with my full soul... I could kill you with my bare hands fuck off you Shakespeare looking freak..."
The man leans down and pats him on the head and Tommy has to force himself not to lean into touch that isn't from being hit like how dre-....hes getting off topic he thinks and he pulls away from the man who frowns slightly.
The and then grins again"well child my name is Wilbur! How about you?"
Tommys eyes narrow further One part of him is saying don't you dare tell him anything he's probably some pred or smth but another part recognizes him like he's seen him so much in good and bad ways but he doesn't know how...
Screw it... He's already using dreams money for tubbo he'll be in trouble either way might as well it's not like they will meet again or anything
"Tommy" he answers hesitantly and Wilbur beams
"Well it's nice to meet you tommy you little gobblin I'll see you around!" and with that he's gone before before Tommy can respond
He hopes he never sees that freak again... But something about him seemed so familiar in a good way but also in a bad way
Whatever he should just get these games so tubbo doesn't harvest his organs in his sleep with a rusty fork
He walks over to the counter dropping 5 games one counter and a Nintendo switch and paying with dreams card and leaving going straight for tubbo and Ranboos flower shop
---
Tommy walks into the small flower shop his nose overwhelmed with smells but in a good way he thinks
Tubbo looks over and brightens up"Tommy! How's it goin big ma-...IS THAT A SWITCH!?"
Tommy grins"well of course bee boy what else would I get you? It is your birthday soon...I think?"
"Tom... Tommy...Thomas
Simons... Tommy danger careful kraken innit...it-....its May... My birthday is In December we had a birthday party you bought me a present why...? You know what never mind thanks big man I'm never giving it back though!" tubbo grins wildly
Tommy grins back and hands him the bag of games and the switch"anyway tub boy where's your freakishly tall husband"
"Platonic husband"tubbo corrected"and he's in the break room I can go grab him one sec" and like that the short bee boy was gone how he was that fast Tommy didn't know and didn't want to honesty
---
"RANBOO wake up!" tubbo yelled and Ranboos eyes snapped open
"W-what?! Is there a fire?" ranboo panicked
"No dumby tommys here so wake up hot stuff"tubbo grins
"Tubbo for the last time stop calling me that we are platonic husbands... Whatever I give up let's just go hang out with the fanboy before he burns the shop down..."ranboo follows tubbo out of the break room and waves to Tommy who is staring at the fish tank that ranboo had convinced tubbo to let him put in.
Inside is a pink axolotl with white and green on its head which Tommy thought was pretty weirdchamp but whatever and a few fish one black and red koi fish that he had decided was named shroud.
Tubbo grabbed his shoulder "helloooo? Earth to Tommy??? Big man??"
Tommy turned around "sorry boss man I was watchin the fish"
Ranboo sighed"your such a child toms..."
Tommy gasped dramatically "wow I'm just not allowed to like fish now!"
"Yes"tubbo said with a grin"your a blond hair blue eyes rich white boy you should be at some pickle ball Court..."
Tommy rolled his eyes "memememe! That's what you sound like tubbo! You honestly don't get my struggles as a rich boy!" he wipes away a fake tear
Away deep down he knows he's not rich he just uses dreams money and deals with the punishments that come with that
As if magic his phone buzzes with a message from a man listed as clay saying "pick up me Sapnap George and Cosmo coffee and we are so talking about you using my card again brat"
Tommy sucked in a quick breath through his teeth and responded with a "yes sir" before turning his phone off.
Well... At least he had fun while it lasted despite that jerk from the game store what was his name William? Why does he even care... He should go... Now
Tommy looks at ranboo and tubbo "so.... Don't hate me but I got to go.... Heh we can hang out another time though...?" Tommy backs up already planning an escape route in case tubbo chases him like he has the last... Dozen times...
Tubbos eyes narrow dangerously and with that Tommy bolts off as fast as he can tubbo chasing after him through the mall
