Chapter 2
Kidnapper?

Tommy and Tubbo ventured deep into the forest, they found cool animals and plants while doing so.

They found ghost Lilly's,
(Tubbo taught him that word)
spike roses, Death Bells, small sprites, squirrels and they were really lucky when they found a fairy.

For the first time in a while, Tommy was having fun going outside.

Since then, they always met up, every single day.

And when they do they would talk, laugh, and explore the forest more and more.

It was a daily thing to do.

Each time they did, they would go deeper and deeper into the forest until Tubbo would get scared (or Tommy sometimes) and make excuses for them to go back.

Of course, most of the time Tommy was annoyed by Tubbo being terrified of the forest, especially since he practically lives there!

Thankfully, he always accepts and reluctantly goes back home.

Today,
Tommy wanted to go visit Tubbo...again.

He knocked on the hard, spruce door and waited for him, watching the villagers walk around and chat away. He wishes for this kind of interaction someday.

The door opened and Tubbo looked at him curiously.
"Isn't it a bit too early?"

Tommy shook him off and stepped into the house with no question or response.

He turned to Tubbo who looked annoyed at Tommy already.

Tubbo glared at Tommy, showing that he isn't in the mood for whatever dumb thing he may do.
"Ok, ok I just wanna go to the forest and-"

"Why did you act so dramatic all of a sudden then?!"
Tubbo exclaimed. Tommy playing with his hands.

"Can I just eat my food then we can go?!!" Tubbo huffed at him and went to where he was eating his food.

Tommy laughed at his friend, Tubbo rarely shouts at him only when he's angry or something. Amusing.

Tubbo pushed Tommy outside, telling him to wait and not do anything dumb.
Like he'll listen.

Tommy shrugged and waited outside the door impatiently. He wants to explore and venture into the depths of the forest, be an adventurer, and all that shit.

Tommy's eyes lit up when he saw the door opening, Tubbo closing it then.
"Alright..where to now?"

It was a few moments of silence.

Tommy then finally replied.
"Oh! Well, yesterday remember we saw that huge tree! I think there was a house there and we should probably explore it!!"

Tommy explained, now walking away and going to the forest.

"But didn't you say you were afraid that some murderer maybe there?"
Tubbo smirked when Tommy attempted to defend himself by saying he was exhausted at the time.

Tommy guided Tubbo through the bushes and trees that were in the way.

Tubbo who was behind him wanted to hit Tommy in the head real badly.

Is Tommy that dumb?

Tubbo simply thought this was a joke but it's not, such a disappointing surprise.

"But what if someone lives there? We can't just raid their home like that?!" Tubbo protested to Tommy stepping over a log.

Tommy sighed and looked around where there are and back at Tubbo.
"Do you see anyone that lives here?!"

"Yeah! Probably some villagers from where I live or something!"
Tubbo turned to where he lived then back at Tommy.

"..yeah but if they're nice they would happily oblige to let us in."
Tommy gave a victorious smile at Tubbo and continued to lead him to where this house is.

~A while Later~

"There it is!!"

Tubbo turned and saw Tommy a few meters away, pointing at a nice-looking house on the huge tree.

"Told ya!"

Tubbo gave an uncertain look at the house, how come this house is as good as the ones at home?

Tubbo didn't budge from where he was. "Tubbo, are you coming?"

Tubbo looked at the house then at Tommy. "Tommy I don't think we should do-"

He couldn't finish his sentence when Tommy is dragging him by the arm to the house. He led him up the stairs that this house had. "Tommy let go-!!"

"It'll be a quick tour ok, gosh you overreact." Tommy rolled his eyes and chuckled and opened the door that was opened, weird.

The house had a very nice setting, a mat and huge glass walls which you could see only trees and leaves. The house is small but comfortable.

The smell of the house smelled like lavenders. Tommy looked around the house while Tubbo stayed at the door nervously.

"Tubbo come up here! There's something cool!!" Tubbo followed his voice and went up the stairs and found a large patio only above the house. Tubbo is genuinely surprised at how clean it is as well.

Tommy then heard the leaves ruffling and he got cold by the second. He ran beside Tubbo, in front of him. Showing that he's trying to protect him.

"Stay cautious Tubbo.."

"Oh what, now you care-?"
Tubbo bit back, regretting everything.

Tubbo was looking frantically around him.

Tommy heard the noise again and looked around again.
"Come out here and fight us!!"
Tommy yelled, noticing Tubbo raise his eyes.

"Gladly."

"Tommy-!"

Blackout

"-my!!"

"-ommy!!"

"Tommy!"

"TOMMYINNIT!!"

Tommy opened his eyes and turned his head around. That person could hit.

Tubbo looked terrified but was trying to hide it.
"Tubbo what happened..?"

"I don't know! The...kidnapper just hit you and you got knocked out and then I think he did the same to me!!"
Tubbo explained you him, he also showed that his hands were tied up to a pole and so was Tommy.
"OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!!"

"Language!!"

A voice said directly to Tommy. He looked around but no one was there?
"Come out and fight me bitch!!"
Tommy yelled trying to get the kidnapper's attention.

"Oh my Goodness just please be quiet!!" There's the voice again. Only it was getting louder and louder each word. A figure stood in front of them looking annoyed.

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?!!" Tommy yelled at the kidnapper. It looked like he had enough.

"Will you please be quiet?"
Tommy heard Tubbos voice and was about to protest but Tubbo looked terrified.

"I didn't say that.."
Tubbo could barely speak out those words.

Tommy looked at who was in front of them, the person with a black and red hoodie with black jeans. He had a set of arrows at his back and a bow and arrow on his hand pointing to them. He had brown hair and emerald eyes.

A human?

"Now tell me why you're here."
He asks them, trying to sound intimidating and look scary but he looks just a bit scared.

The kidnapper took a deep breath in.
"I said tell me why you're here."

Tommy looked at Tubbo pleadingly, he sighed at Tommy.
"It was his idea, not mine..but please it was just an accident we'll leave straight away!"

Tubbo ratted him out!
Kind of.

Tubbo pleaded to the kidnapper. The person had a look of sympathy for them and nodded.

"Just...knock."
He made their way to them and untied the two from the pole. Tommy sighed with relief but gave a confused look to the person.

"Knock?"

"Yeah! You may come in any time! Just be careful ok?" Now he sounded like a mother and a kidnapper.
"Not falling for your tricks you fuck-"

"LANGUAGE!!"
The person yelled at them, it was as if they murdered someone right in front of them.

Tubbo slapped Tommy by the shoulder and apologized to the kidnapper.

"So what's you're name? I'm Tubbo and this is...Tommy."
Tubbo tried to engage with a conversation, standing up when the stranger untied them.

"Ah, I forgot about that! Please, call me Bad, full name BadBoyHalo."

"HAH! That name sounds like you're trying to be in a drug group...or a gang."
Tommy stayed seated, silently laughing.

"No, I'm not, and don't say that word. Now then I guess I'll see you guys soon then?"
Bad asked the two looking at the door and back at them.

"A kidnapper insisting for us to stay? I don't think so you f....flamingo."
Tommy insulted, though slightly cringing at the end.

"Me? I wasn't the one who broke into my home was I?"
Bad said, crossing his arms at Tommy.

"You-"

"Yes, we will actually! We'll get going now see you!"
Tubbo grabbed Tommy forcefully by the arm and led him outside and waved to Bad. "Bye!!"

Bad gave a wave back, Tubbo brought them both down the treehouse.
When they both got far enough Tubbo went quiet, showing that he was angry and in need of food.

"Come on Tubbo! It's not really my fault! It's just my brain told me to go explore and that I did!"

Silence

"Tubbo please!"
Tommy dragged the 'e', whining at the brunette who wouldn't speak.

Silence

"Fine if you're like that then I am as well." Tommy huffed at him and they silently made their way back home.
They didn't talk for the whole duration but Tommy knew Tubbo wanted him to leave.

Tommy was sulking the whole day.

~Next Day~

"God this guy is so clingy."
Tommy knocked on Tubbos door and waited for him to open.

Tommy imagined Tubbo that he is going to flood him with apologies and then he'll feel guilty. He smiled at that thought.

Tommy started to worry when Tubbo didn't answer the door for a while, specifically for 15 minutes.

Yes, he has been waiting for there for that long just to prove how Tubbo is clingy and an asshole.

Tommy decided to look for him.

He knew he won't be at his house since Tubbo always answers the door.
He checked the forest, the waterfall they checked out a few days ago, the village again, and finally...
Tommy is in front of the so-called BadBoyHalos treehouse.

"I swear this is a dumb idea..."
he knocked on the door and waited for anyone to answer.

He heard footsteps approach the door, none other than the BadBoyHalo answered it.
"Oh, it's you! Come in!"
Tommy took an awkward step into the house, Tommy didn't want to be here but for the sake of Tubbo, he'll do it.

"Hey Bad? Do you know where Tubbo-?"

"Yes, he's upstairs at the patio! He's eating muffins just so you know."
Bad interrupted him, gesturing Tommy to go and see Tubbo.

"I'll leave you two be then, I think you two argued?"
Tommy looked at him wide-eyed, how did he know that?

Bad chuckled at him and smiled softly, reassuring him that he'll be alright.

Tommy took his time to go upstairs and saw Tubbo in awe of a bee, of course, he's too predictable sometimes.

Tommy silently sat beside Tubbo and watched the bee buzz around the flowers.
"Sorry, Tommy..." Tubbo apologized to Tommy, teary-eyed.

"Gosh Tubbo it's alright-"

"Are you sure?! I can make it up to you! Here have a muffin."
Tubbo grabbed a muffin off the plate and shoved it into Tommy's hands.

"Why go to Bad out of the blue?"
Tommy asked.

"I...I have a good feeling about him. And he even knew straight away that I was upset! He's like a parent or something!"
Tubbo explained, taking a bite out of the muffin.

Tubbo gave a nervous smile. Tommy laughed at Tubbo, looking at his muffin.
"Should we go home now?"

Tubbo took one last glance at the bees and nodded.
"Yeah, but we'll see him tomorrow..right..?"

"Yeah yeah, whatever let's just go."
They made their way out, saying their goodbyes to Bad, and talked about how to set fire to a forest.
