So this takes place around the Manberg/Pogtopia era.

Tubbo shows up to the base with scars and bruises and the others get worried while he stays quiet. He doesn't want to tell them what happens, and the others respect it and make sure to make him feel safe there.

Technically sbi family? Idk

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tubbo stumbled out of the white house, finally getting a break from all the yelling and throwing of glass. Schlatt really didn't let up with any of that, and the brunette didn't even know if he was drunk. Surprisingly, the ram hybrid adult rarely drank. All of his bad personality, it was just his nature. When he was drunk, he was much MUCH worse.

He made sure no one was watching him before making his way into the woods. Unfortunately, luck was not on his side and it was snowing out. He didn't have any gear and it sure didn't help any of his wounds. All he had was his suit and his bandana, which he refused to get rid of no matter how many times Jschlatt told him to do.

He was freezing, snow pouring onto him as he walked with pain following every movement from his previous injuries. The teen was pretty sure the only thing that was keeping him from just going home and resting in the warmth of it was the wanting and determination to see his best friend, and maybe also adrenaline.

Walking into the snowy forest, he continued towards the underground base. Making his way over an iced lake, freezing him more. The brunette was starting to not feel the cold anymore, which he knew wasn't a good thing but he ignored it.

Once the goat hybrid saw the familiar dirt steep for where the door was hidden, he quickly removed the the dirt. It made the cuts on his hands sting, causing him to wince slightly.

As soon as he was able to open the door, he did so. He put the dirt back to hide it again before slowly going down the stairs. It was warmer in the cave now that he was away from the entrance. It made the teen almost sleepy, but the burns of the slight bit of frostbite and his now wet clothes from the snow soaking into his wounds didn't allow him to.

The small teen was first noticed by the a pink haired adult. He smiled softly as Techno's eyes widened.

"Tubbo?!" The older quickly got up and rushed over to the younger.

This made the adult brunette and the teen blond turn to see the small goat soaking wet and was bleeding. The liquid of his blood getting through the clothes as the melted snow made it attach to Tubbo's skin.

The older teen smiled a little at seeing they were all ok, "hi guys..."

"Tubbo?! What the actual fuck happened?!" Wilbur shouted as he ran to grab the bandages.

"It's a long story," the goat hybrid said as his ears twitched.

The blond amongst them quickly gave the smallest a hug, "what happened?! Who's ass do I have to kick?! Start fuckin' naming."

"Relax, I'm fine guys. Just a little... ruffed up," the teen explained.

The adult brunette came over, "yeah, yeah. Let's get you patched up before we talk, okay?"

The goat hybrid nodded as Tommy grumbled in agreement. The pig hybrid was still concerned about the smaller, but let Will help him as he grabbed some dry clothes for him.


Once the beanied adult finished, the crowned adult gave the older teen some of Tommy's dried clothes since it'd be the closest to fitting him. The two adults being 6'5 and 6'3 as the blond teen being 6'0. Besides, Tubbo liked oversized things so it didn't matter.

The brunette teen wore his best friend's hoodie and shorts as his other close dried. The younger teen smiled and placed his hand on top of the older's. The smaller teen flinched at the contact, which didn't go unnoticed, but relaxed as it was his best friend.

"So Tubbo," Techno spoke, "what happened?"

The brunette teen shifted uncomfortably, "just pissed off Schlatt... it's fine..."

"It's not fine, Tubbo! You're fuckin' hurt!" The other teen shouted in frustration.

The goat hybrid held back another flinch from the outburst. He had enough yelling for one day, he didn't need anymore.

"I said it's fine. I'm ok, really I am. Well, not physically, obviously. But I'll be fine. Just spoke outa turn. That normally ends up in people being mad anyway, so it's nothing I'm not use to. But.. I just pushed it. I need to watch what I say," the brunette explained.

It was sad how true those words were. When Tubbo spoke out of turn, it normally meant he tried to joke around but it landed wrong. As a result, someone would get a bit upset. Whether playful, or actually, he never got any other reaction. So he barely made jokes off of what people say unless his nature slipped out in reflex.

The three outsiders of Manberg didn't know what it was like there, but from what they were seeing, it wasn't great. Was it even safe for them to be able to send him back? Probably not, but they don't want to make Tubbo uncomfortable.

"Is— are you going to be okay over there?" The tallest asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. It's nothing I can't handle, so don't worry about me," the older teen replied with a soft smile.

It was able to fool the taller, even though it was pretty obviously fake to stop them from worrying. Though, only making them worry a bit more that it has to be forced. It seemed as if the happy little bee boy was disappearing every second he was over there. It wasn't fair.

They wanted to see him happy, but knew it wouldn't happen until they were back in charge. They were going to do that, they planned to by any means necessary.

"Hey Tubs... do you... wanna stay for the night...? Until that bastard cools off," Tommy offered.

The smaller immediately nodded, "if it's no problem, than yeah. Please..."

The little 'please' was concerning, but when the teen was ready, he will say. They all got ready to sleep since it was already night when the brunette teen got there. The two teens sleeping close like they normally did whenever they were together at night.

For that night, Tubbo didn't have to worry about his safety or the consequences of his actions in an early morning. He felt safe with his brothers.

Tubbo was safe, that's all that mattered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Got this idea from listening to The Smartphone Hour. I won't lie.

It's just, people give off that Schlatt drinks, and it's canon his character does. But I don't really remember a time that he was actually drunk while in character, y'know?

He dies from a heart attack bc of drinking, yet, I don't remember him actually drunk. It's weird.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed
