Work Text:
Philza was cleaning through some chests, getting rid of stuff he didn’t need and organizing his house.
While cleaning the chests, there was one chest he never really looked into.
Once he got to that one, he opened it to reveal old pictures of his kids, their old toys and drawings. Just anything from their childhood basically.
He realized he hasn’t seen any of his kids in a while now, he wonders how they are doing.
Well Wilbur’s dead and Techno died a bit of time ago.
Tommy’s status is very much unknown.
He looked through the old pictures, few tears forming into his eyes while reminding the old memories.
There was one picture that caught his attention instantly, it was the picture with the full family.
His 3 kids, wife and himself.
Kristin is long gone, somewhere in another world. She had left to protect the family.
She probably doesn’t even know the family fell apart.
He is a bit lonely in his house, nobody is anywhere close to him since he is far away in a snowy biome.
He decided not to get rid of anything and went outside to get some fresh air.
He walked over to Carl and fed him some apples, petting him a bit.
He moved to the dogs, giving them some steak and bones.
After a bit of time, Philza decided to go back inside but he noticed a letter at his door.
That's odd, he didn’t notice it before.
He took the letter and walked back inside the house and sat on the couch in the living room.
He carefully unfolded the letter to notice the letter was written in a messy handwriting but he didn’t mind.
He started reading the letter.
Hello, Philza
It's Tubbo writing this letter. I know you didn’t expect to get a letter from me but I have something important to let you know. Its about Tommy. He was found dead by Dream in exile. Dream said it was because he committed suicide but I don’t really believe him. I’m sorry to drop such upsetting news to you, I know it must be hard for you after Technoblade’s death.
Take care,
Tubbo
He stayed still for a moment after reading the letter.
Tommy is dead.
Tommy, the kid who was always bright and chaotic.
He just couldn’t believe it.
It was at that moment he regretted not paying more attention to tommy.
He had neglected Tommy basically his whole childhood because he was angry at the child.
Because of Tommy, Kristin decided it was best to go back to the world she was originally from to not cause any more trouble.
He placed the letter on his lap, feeling tears drop from his eyes.
He moved one of his hands to cover his mouth to not let any sounds out even though nobody can hear him.
His son is dead.
All of his sons are dead.
His wife is gone.
His whole family is gone.
He is all alone now.
He looked back at the letter, hoping to see a sentence saying it was a joke.
He even checked behind the letter but there was nothing.
Nothing at all.
He tried to stand up to go outside, to pet a dog to comfort him but he instantly fell on his knees, onto the floor.
He lets out a few sobs, he misses his sons so much.
Maybe if he spent a bit more attention on Tommy, he’d be alive and well.
He knows it's Dream’s fault.
It must be Dream’s fault!
Even Tubbo said it was.
He decided to stand up and go find dream.
Philza grabbed his armor from the armor stand and his sword, he grabbed a few potions and enchanted golden apples.
He needs to kill Dream.
He walked out of the house and went on a hunt to find the man who caused all his sons pain.
Dream was peacefully getting some food until Philza went over there and suddenly attacked Dream.
“What did you do to my son?!”
Dream was quick to defend himself
“What son? Techno?” He sounded confused at what Philza meant.
“You know damn well who I am talking about you green bastard!” He made a nasty scar from dream’s shoulder to his elbow.
“Ow what the heck is your problem?” He is trying to attack him but he realized Phil has splashed him with a potion of weakness, making his hits useless.
He thought for a bit before he realized Phil must be talking about Tommy.
“Oh Tommy? He committed suicide while i was away.”
“Tell me the truth! He clearly didn’t, don’t even think about giving me that bullshit.” Phil pushed Dream to the ground, stabbing his leg with the netherite sword, probably breaking a few bones aswell so he can’t stand.
“What the fuck?! Stop that Phil, I swear that's what happend!”
“No its fucking not, we both know i am right so tell me the truth!” He stabbed Dream’s stomach multiple times, He is too weak to defend himself.
“Fine fine! I killed him, he wasn’t behaving so i decided to kill him!” He rushed with the sentence to make Phil stop stabbing him.
“What the actual fuck is wrong with you, you don’t kill kids just because they aren’t behaving! You’re honestly a monster.”
“Look who’s talking, you neglected him at a young age, he told me all about it” Dream is slightly grinning at the older man.
“I had my reasons!”
“And so did I, that means we are even in this”
“Shut your goddamn mouth.” He stabbed Dream’s chest multiple times till he died from blood loss.
He was still for a bit, realizing what he just did.
He really was a horrible father.
He didn’t know what to do with himself anymore.
His whole family was dead.
He just killed someone.
He was all alone now.
His heart is still in pain from the news he learn today.
He got away from dream and ran to the nearest mountain
He didn’t know what to do anymore.
So he did the only thing he can think off.
He jumped.
