TW/CW: mentions of past trauma. Flare being bad at writing people comforting one another. Swearing. Tommy's death in the prison.

This will be strictly platonic btw! Wanted to put that out there!

(3rd person PoV)

The void isn't exactly a peaceful place but it's not dangerous.

Considering that there is literally nothing in the void but there is a floor. Or what seems like a floor.

Not many people can visit the void and not many people want to.

But unfortunately, sometimes, not many people have a choice.

"MOTHERF*CKER AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

A certain blond boy fell from somewhere and landed on the floor of the void.

"Oof!" The wind got knocked out of him as he landed.

"F*ck, that f*cking hurts!" D!Tommy muttered to himself.

He looked around in confusion. Where was he?

"WHAT'S GOING ON AAAAAAH!" Someone above him screamed.

He heard a flutter of wings and D!Tommy looked up to see a person floating with a blur of red to their sides.

The person landed on their feet.

"WHO THE F*CK THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO KIDNAP ME AND THREW ME INTO THIS BLACK VOID OF NOTHINGNESS!!" He screamed.

"Who the hell are you?" D!Tommy asked.

The other boy turned around and D!Tommy thought that he was looking at a mirror.

A mirror featuring a younger version of him, no scars and with wings.

They stared at each other and began to mimic each other's movements for a bit like tilting their heads at the same time.

"Who are you?" O!Tommy asked.

"Me? Who the f*ck are you?" D!Tommy asked, putting his hands on his hips.

"Hey I asked you first!" O!Tommy snapped.

"No I did," D!Tommy rolled his eyes.

"Ugh fine! My name is Tommy. The Great Tommyinnit the Avian Extraordinary (no I didn't just came up with that)," O!Tommy said, muttering something under his breath.

"Huh? But my name is Tommy?" D!Tommy asked.

"That's f*cking weird? Wait you wouldn't happen to be from the DreamSMP?" O!Tommy asked.

"How do you know what my server's name is called?" D!Tommy asked.

"Ummm since the swapping," O!Tommy explained.

"The swapping? Ohhh you mean from my server and the OriginSMP server?" D!Tommy asked.

"Yep, I'm from Origins," O!Tommy said.

"But that happened months ago!" D!Tommy exclaimed.

"That only happened two months ago," O!Tommy sighed.

"Whatever. So why are we here now?" D!Tommy asked.

"How should I know!" O!Tommy groaned.

Then the floor from underneath them seemed to disappear and the two Tommy's were left floating there.

"WHAT THE F*CK!!!" They both screamed.

The void shifted to show a scenery.

To a familiar scenery to O!Tommy.

"Oh my CrowFather, I can see the Pube!" He exclaimed excitedly.

"Where are we going?" D!Tommy asked.

The scenery shifted to show a group of people there. The same group that greeted D!Tommy when he arrived plus some other people who were not present before.

"Your friends?" D!Tommy asked and O!Tommy nodded.

"Yep! That's Philza aka CrowFather aka Dadza! There's Niki in her fish tank. Wilbur is the guy whose head is poking out of the floor, he's a Phantom he can do that you know! Ranboo and Tubbo are sitting on the counter. Father Fragrance aka Schlatt is there also. Scott, Charlie and Sneeg are there and there. Jack is sitting in his little lava chair. Techno is munching on some carrots in the corner. Fundy is sleeping in one of the barrels. Hey look! New friends that you haven't seen! Beau, James, Shubble and that Sparkles guy I haven't talked to much! And Freddie, Freddie is there," O!Tommy pointed to each single one of them.

"That's a lot of people," D!Tommy noted. Although it wasn't like the DreamSMP large.

"Yep, and we're all mostly friends. No one really fights and if they do, mainly for playful and petty reasons," O!Tommy explained.

"I wish my server was like that," D!Tommy said, bitterly.

"What do you mean by that?" O!Tommy asked.

Then the scenery shifted.

It was a new scene but it had familiar buildings to D!Tommy. Right before...

Doomsday.

"Is this from the DreamSMP? I haven't seen this," O!Tommy noted.

"No...because you arrived way after it was destroyed. You might have seen the ruins," D!Tommy said.

O!Tommy didn't say anything to this.

The scene then focused on a particular person who was walking through the path.

"Is that you?" O!Tommy asked and D!Tommy nodded.

"But you look so...different here? Not a lot of scars, shorter hair and you don't have the white streak in your hair," O!Tommy noted.

"This was before I was...before I was...before...," D!Tommy couldn't quite remember much during his time of exile and his time in the prison but there was one thing that he could remember.

One thing that made him wake up in a cold sweat and made him tremble every time he thought of it.

The scene repeated in his head, over and over.

Over

And

Over

And

Over

And over again.

His death.

Dream.

That damn potato!

O!Tommy turned his head to see D!Tommy hugging himself tightly, face as pale as a sheet, sweat rolling down his forehead and his expression a frighten look.

"Hey hey, are you ok? Are you alright?" O!Tommy asked worriedly.

".............no........," D!Tommy trembled in place.

This scared and worried the avian. He didn't know what to do!

Um! Um! Um! Think! What would Phil do? What would Wil do? What would Niki do?! He thought in a panic.

He held his hand out but hesitated. He wanted to rub circles on D!Tommy's back in an effort to calm him down but he wasn't quite sure how was D!Tommy about physical contact.

"Can I...touch you? In a comforting way?" O!Tommy asked.

D!Tommy slowly nodded.

O!Tommy began to rub circles on D!Tommy's back, telling him that things will be ok and that he is there for his other self.

After a while, D!Tommy hiccuped and wiped his eyes.

"Are you good now?" O!Tommy asked, timidly.

"Yeah I think I'm fine now," D!Tommy sighed.

O!Tommy removed his hand from D!Tommy's shoulder and only now he realized that he himself was shaking.

D!Tommy turned to look at him in confusion.

"Are you making chicken noises?" He asked.

"WHAT!? I am OFFENDED that you made such an accusation of me!" O!Tommy snapped.

"But you are literally making chicken noises right now," D!Tommy pointed out.

The two boys stayed quiet for a couple seconds, only to hear some nervous clucking.

"..."

"..."

"Ok I might be but don't judge me. I was worried about you, other me," O!Tommy said.

"Don't worry about it. Sorry you had to see me like that," D!Tommy muttered.

"Don't say that. I had to help you in some way. I'm not the best of comforting others though," O!Tommy explained.

"It's alright," D!Tommy said.

Both boys looked around as the scenery changed to the current view of the DreamSMP.

"Wonder what's the whole point? Why are we both here?" O!Tommy asked.

"That's what I was wondering since we both got here," D!Tommy replied.

The scenery shifted back to the black void.

"What do we do now?" O!Tommy asked.

"Hey...I'm normally not open about things but can I tell you something?" D!Tommy asked.

O!Tommy sighed because his question was not answered but nodded.

"I feel jealous of you," D!Tommy started.

"Ok I was not expecting that," O!Tommy interrupted.

"..."

"Ooops. Sorry go on," O!Tommy shrunk back.

"It's ok. I feel jealous of you because you have a nice home, no wars have seem to affected your home, you have a caring family and nice friends. I only have one of them in that list. Sorry if I sound like a brat right now but I can't help but feel jealous of you, other me," D!Tommy explained.

This took O!Tommy by surprise.

He heard of stories from Doppelgänger Phil on things that happened here but he never heard it from his other self's side.

"..."

"It wasn't always like that," O!Tommy said.

"What?"

"Listen, I may not experience what you experienced and life may not get better but that doesn't mean you can give up! I remember Technoblade telling me something before. Umm, your trauma is not your fault, but healing is your responsibility. Even with all of what happened to you, you still have a chance to heal. You may already be on the road to healing," O!Tommy explained.

D!Tommy blinked in surprised and O!Tommy began to fiddle with his fingers nervously.

"Sorry if that doesn't help at all," he said.

Pat Pat!

D!Tommy began to pat O!Tommy's head. This confused the avian.

"Thank you for trying. You have done great," he said.

Both boys decided to sit on the void's floor together, waiting for them to go home.

For now...sometimes sitting in silence with someone who cares, is all that someone may need.

A/N: I'm trying to be all wise but I think I just ended up being a bit awkward. Sorry.

So yeah it is done!
