Awesamdad And MotherPuffy

Home?

Dream was in prison. I was safe, there is no way that he's getting out. Not on Sam's watch. My nights have been restless but I don't bother to wake up Sam, there just silly nightmares, I shouldn't bother Sam with that. Phil never liked it when I awoke him for my nightmares he would just tell me to sleep through it. 

Today I will continue to work on my hotel. Sam has been giving me some awesome tips to make it look better. Even though I will never admit it to Sam, I really enjoy having his company and his help. I started my day by collecting red flowers to make dye and killing some squids for their ink sacks. I didn't like the fact that I had to get sprayed in the face with ink by the squids. After that, I was off to find some sand and gravel for concrete powder.

The closest desert biome was.....through the nether. Why did it have to be the nether, the nether is by far the worst place I've ever been. The lava reminded me of my time in exile with Dream. There were so many times I would try to jump and Dream would stop me. One time I did manage to jump off the bridge but Dream held me by my shirt pulling me up. I was so naive and stupid back then, I thought Dream was my friend.

When I make it through the portal the cries of ghasts fill my ears. One shoots a fireball at me and I narrowly avoid it. The sizzling of lava cracks under my feet. I look around desperately trying to find the portal that goes to the sand biome. My eyes land on the one and it looks pretty far. I break into a run than a sprint towards the portal. I jump through and crash down on the sand. Some of it gets in my mouth so I spit it out. 

I get out my netherite shovel and start to dig some sand. I'm just about done when one of the sand blocks that I've mined falls like quicksand. Underneath is a cave that I was going to fall into. I had no torches so I wouldn't be able to see. Just as I'm about to fall in a hand grabs my wrist and holds onto it. I look up to see Sam holding my wrist with both hands trying to keep me from falling in. My other hand is on a shovel so I bring it up and dig it right into the sand as an anchor. With the both of us pulling up I eventually get my feet back on the ground.

"Sam, what are you doing here?" I ask through my panting. Sam replies "I was getting sand and gravel to help you with your hotel, I'm lucky I saw you and caught you in time." I feel like Sam is too kind for me. "Thank you for helping me" I mutter most of the things I do I like to do by myself so I'm not very used to thanking people. Sam smiles at me and doesn't say you're welcome. 

"Well let's get back shall we?" Sam reaches for my hand and I blankly stare at it. I'm not used to someone other than Tubbo showing me respect and Sam knows this. "It's ok Tommy, take my hand I won't hurt you" I hesitantly take his hand and he pulls me up on his back. He carries me all the way through the nether and back to the hotel. Once we get to the front entrance Sam put me down. My feet hit the floor of wood slabs. 

"Thanks again" I murmured, all Sam did was smile and reply "no thanks needed. Ok, so can I help you with the hotel?" He asked. I slowly nod my head. I wondered if he wanted anything in return, that's what everyone else would do. They would help me then ask me for my help, everytime I said no they would yell at me. I start to craft the concrete (Just ignore the fact that it has to come in contact with water). I had my sand, my gravel, and the two types of dye that I collected. I was all set. I start with pushing the gravel into the sand, this takes a little bit to finally get it right. Next, I sprinkled the dye onto the sand, gravel mixture. After a few minutes, I was all set with three stacks of red and black concrete. I climbed up the ladder onto the third floor. It took me a couple of tries to make it how I wanted it to look. 

-Time skip-

I had gotten another floor done today. It was around a little after mid-day. I hopped down and used my water bucket to prevent fall damage. Once I hit the ground I saw Sam looking at me with a smile. I sighed and asked, "what do you wish for me to do?" I waited for an answer but all I got was a hand on my shoulder "Tommy I don't want anything from you" I stood there in shock "then, why did you help me?." My confusion only grew when he said "because I wanted to" I stared at him in disbelief. Nobody ever wanted to genuinely help me.

"Tommy, why would I help you just to help me?" I searched for an answer but I couldn't find one. "No one has ever- I've never-" I studdered. Sam knew what I was trying to say "I care Tommy. I know you're not used to that but I do, I do not wish to cause you harm. I just want to be here for you and help you when you need it." Help me? "But what did I do to deserve this?"Sam slung his hand over my shoulder and behind my neck "Tommy, everyone needs someone to look after and care for them. You've been neglected that love for a long time." Hearing that sentence made me think of Wilbur. He wasn't just my president he was my big brother. He was the only one who really cared for me, sure there was Tubbo but he wasn't always by me. I felt sick thinking about my Wilby and no matter how much I deny it, I miss him. 

I didn't want to cry, not in front of Sam. Tears were already starting to fill up in my eyes. They came out uncontrollably and I started to sob on Sam's chest. I felt arms around my back then realized Sam was hugging me. "It's ok Tommy just let it out" I followed his instructions and soon his shirt was soaking wet from my tears. Once I stopped crying we headed back. I went to my dirt hut but Sam stopped me. "Where are you going?" His voice didn't sound threatening or scary it just sounded like he was asking a genuine question. "Back to my house", I answered pointing to the house-made from dirt. I'm not a good builder like Sam so I just went for something simple and easy to fix just in case it got blown up. 

"Tommy come with me I want to show you something" I followed Sam a long way. Finally, he came to a stop in front of a stone wall. "Why did you bring me all the way out here? In front of a mountain?" Sam smiled and placed a button-down "not just a mountain" he almost whispered. He then pushed the oak button and I watched in awe as the Redstone contraption lowered to reveal a house-made underground. I gasped, it was huge there were chests upon chests of every block in the game. I heard something run up behind me and it snuggled into my legs. 

It was warm and fuzzy I looked down and I saw Fran, Sam's dog, cuddling into me. I picked her up in my arms and she didn't even move an inch to get out. I started to pet her, she was very soft. Her yellow collar sparkled from the sunlight. She barked and licked my face, my cheek was now wet with slobber. I laughed and put her down. She then started to run around Sam's and my feet. After a few minutes, she stopped. Sam sat down to watch some T.V and I joined, we sat beside each other, out of nowhere Fran appeared with a bowl of popcorn in her mouth. "Wh-wh-what the?" I knew Fran was smart but I didn't think that this would happen.

Sam chuckled and gestured that Fran could sit on his lap. She put the bowl down and ran up to Sam, but instead of sitting on his lap, she sat in between the two of us. I pat her head for a second time, she sort of leaned into it. I knew from that moment forward that no building was my home, my home was with Sam.

Helwo, thank you for reading I'm happy that some of you enjoy this. Sorry if the first chapter was a little blah, I'm starting to figure out how this app works. If you're reading this at a late time (I know some of you are so stop denying it) I encourage you to go to sleep. 

I hope you have an enjoyable rest of your day or night. 

Bye-bye.
