The Duel

(This chapter is gonna be shit so-)

You had been searching for hours.

"So I guess he stood me up again…" you said. You felt a lump in your throat. Tears pricked in the corner of your eyes. "Why?"

Your world became purple.

"Goddamit." You said. Why did this keep happening? Did Ranboo not like you anymore?

You did the thing you had always done when upset.

You flew to Phil's.

"Y-Y/n?" He said as you tackled him when you entered the door.

When you calmed down, you explained. Well, you lied. You were crying because of Ranboo now, but you said that it was because of Tommy.

"Oh… my god…" Phil said. Worry filled his eyes.

"I better head back."

"Be careful!"

"I will!"

You flew back to L'Manburg. You didn't sleep, worrying about Tommy and Ranboo.

꧁That Morning꧂

"If Tommy doesn't kill you, I will."

"Sure." Dream said, tauntingly.

Tommy and Dream faced each other, around four feet apart. Dream stood with confidence and Tommy tried to match, but there was fear in his eyes.

"I shall count to ten. At each number, a pace shall be walked. Once I reach ten, you turn and shoot, or you turn, raise your bow, and surrender." Wilbur spoke.

Tommy breathed in and closed his eyes closed.

"𝗢𝗻𝗲."

They turned from each other and took a step.

"𝗧𝘄𝗼."

Tears pricked at the corner of your eyes. You had to be strong for Tommy.

"𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲."

You wanted to reach out and replace Tommy with yourself.

"𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿."

Dream smirked under his mask.

"𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲."

God, why did it have to be him?

"𝗦𝗶𝘅."

You mindlessly reached out and hugged Tubbo.

"𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻."

You closed your eyes and pretended that Techno was dueling with Tommy in the front yard again.

"𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁."

You pretended the everything was fine.

"𝗡𝗶𝗻𝗲."

But nothing was.

"𝗧𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀, 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲!"

Dream turned and fired. The arrow moved in slow motion as you ran.

But you were a second off.

The arrow plunged into Tommy's chest.

"TOMMMMMYYYY!" You screamed, picking yourself up and grabbing Tommy.

"No, no, no, GODDAMMIT!"

"TOMMY!" Wilbur and Tubbo shout, realizing that he had been hit.

You cried into your brother's neck.

"Please…. Don't take my little brother…."

His pulse grew weaker and weaker until it stopped.

"Dream…." You said standing up.

"What are you gonna do? Kill me?" He said.

"Maybe."

You charged him. Your blade met his neck.

"Or I could watch you suffer."
