Fic Below the cut!
Tommy could feel the ground beneath his feet through the worn down soles of his shoes. Sweat dripped down his face, Tommy had never been so scared in his life.
He careened through the forest until the trees stopped looking familiar, the footfalls sounding not far behind him shooting terror through his veins.
Tommy was still unhealthily skinny, his strength hadn’t yet fully recovered from exile, and his resurrection hadn’t helped anything. He wished in an echoey sort of way that he’d stayed dead, or that he’d let himself die in exile or that—
No, because then Dream would have just brought him back.
Over and over and over and over and over—
Tommy sobbed as he ran, he didn’t want to die if he wasn’t going to stay dead.
He wanted Tubbo and Techno and Philza and Wilbur—!
He raced across the clearing, knowing in that moment that he was dead, Dream had a clean shot now, no trees in the way, he would shoot Tommy and Tommy would never be free again.
And then Tommy saw salvation.
“WILBUR!” he screamed with his hoarse throat as he threw himself into Wilbur’s startled arms.
As soon as Wilbur registered that it was Tommy he smirked at him.
“Come running back have you?” Wilbur asked condescendingly.
Tommy let out a hiccuping sob, “He’s going to kill me and bring me back and kill me and bring me back he said— OVER AND OVER AND—”
Wilbur frowned, “Who? Dream wouldn’t do that—”
He was cut off by Dream stepping into the clearing.
“I see you’ve got something of mine.” the masked man said casually, “It ran away, I’d appreciate it if you could return him.”
Unconsciously Wilbur’s arms tightened around Tommy.
“Yours?” he asked in a tone of voice that Tommy recognized as dangerous, possessive and cruel, it made Tommy feel safe, even if he was just an object in a pissing contest between Wilbur and Dream, at least it meant Wilbur would fight for him.
Dream clearly didn’t get the message.
“Mine.” Dream affirmed.
“That’s funny,” Wilbur said coldly, “Because Tommy is my little brother.”
“But you abandoned him, left him alone and free for the taking.” Dream argued with false cheer.
“If you think anyone other than me owns Tommy you’d be very wrong. I could tell him to do anything and he’d do it, he’d fight you in little ways, but he loves me.” Wilbur countered.
Dream growled, “If you won’t return him then I’ll just have to take him back by force.”
“He’s mine!” Wilbur hissed and then Tommy was shrinking, the world around him growing to impossible heights.
…
Tommy remembered Wilbur’s power, he could shrink things so long as he was touching them, they reverted to normal size once he stopped touching them or turned his power off.
Tommy remembered daring Wilbur to shrink and eat things as a child.
He remembered Wilbur entertaining them around the campfire in L’Manburg by shrinking various animals and swallowing them whole.
Tommy remembered asking Wilbur once in Pogtopia if Wilbur had ever done that to a person. Wilbur’s response was a quick ‘no’, but the look of longing and remembrance on his face spoke a different story.
Tommy never asked again.
…
And now Wilbur held Tommy in his hands and was lifting Tommy up to his mouth, tense and clearly expecting Tommy to fight.
Tommy didn’t.
He didn’t want to die, he hated that Wilbur saw him as nothing more than a possession, that Wilbur said ‘if I can’t have it no one can’, but he’d said that about L’Manburg too.
Wilbur had loved L’Manburg…
Maybe this meant that in some way he loved Tommy.
If Wilbur killed him like this at least Dream wouldn’t be able to revive him, he wouldn’t leave behind a body for the ritual.
He’d stay dead.
Tommy closed his eyes as he was dropped into Wilbur’s mouth and let out a tiny sob.
He’d be free.
Tommy shuddered as Wilbur licked at him, and once Tommy was soaked Wilbur tilted his head back and swallowed.
Tommy tumbled into Wilbur’s throat, squished and compressed as he was dragged down, Tommy bit back a sob as the air was crushed from his lungs.
And then finally his legs hit open space, and in what felt like meer moments Tommy was sitting in Wilbur’s stomach.
Tommy opened his eyes, whimpering in the faint light, the blue-ish glow that came from Wilbur’s flesh ever since his resurrection. Tommy didn’t have any room, he was cradled on all sides by warm flesh, he curled up into a tight ball, pulling his knees up to his chest and wrapping his arms around them.
Tommy flinched when he felt one of the walls press against him, like a hand from the outside.
Right, Wilbur was probably gloating at Dream.
Tommy let go, sobbing quietly.
He pressed his own hand into the flesh of the wall where he’d felt Wilbur’s hand, he wanted to feel less alone, just for a moment.
The hand returned, brushing the wall against him.
Tommy hiccuped out a few more sobs before stopping, Wilbur hadn’t forgotten him, Wilbur was right there.
Tommy was as close to his brother as was physically possible, no one could hurt him here. They’d have to get past Wilbur first, and Wilbur would never lose.
And so Tommy closed his eyes and forced himself to relax into the damp warmth around him, Dream couldn’t hurt him anymore. Tommy was safe.
…
Wilbur grinned viciously at Dream, whose expression was easy to guess even if it was hidden behind his mask, shock.
Wilbur pressed a hand into the small swell of his belly, Tommy safely hidden inside.
Wilbur taunted Dream until the man left in a huff.
Wilbur sighed, smiling as he felt Tommy move inside of him, Wilbur had always been a Child of Death, an Eater of Souls, but for Tommy he’d make his body a haven.
Wilbur was perhaps not the most mentally stable, liked seeing Tommy afraid a bit too much, saw Tommy as more of a possession than a person, but Wilbur knew he was fucked up. Just like he knew Tommy was fucked up as well.
Wilbur frowned, he was pretty sure Techno and Phil had been involved in Dream’s escape, he’d have to go talk to them about what Dream had tried to do. They’d probably make him spit Tommy back up unfortunately.
Wilbur sighed as he started walking towards Phil and Techno’s cabins.
At least now that he’d done it once he could probably trick or convince Tommy into doing it again.
Wilbur poked at the weight of Tommy in his middle, grinning as he heard faint swearing and felt movement as Tommy tried to get away from his hand. He openly laughed when Tommy settled back down and poked him back.
