Summary
“So who got this one in?” he asks, dabbing at the cut with a cloth. Tubbo barely flinches. “New villain? Did you kick their ass?”
“No,” he says. “It wasn’t even a villain. T–uh, Circuit got freaked out in the fight. Shorted out a whole city block, something blew, and I got hit by shrapnel. Nobody’s fault, really.”
Quackity barely bites back a harsher comment. Instead, what slips out from carefully cutting teeth is, “Can’t even keep a handle on their heroes, can they?”

Summary
This is his last chance to give it up. To give in, to let go of the part of him that stands off to the side and watches the rest of the team - not his team, just a team - and let himself try something terrifyingly new. To let Circuit lean against him, to try out the name Tommy, the names Wilbur, Phil, out on his tongue. Maybe to slip out a name of his own. To be brave, for once, and to wonder if they know it’s a little like cutting his own heart out and handing it over to them.

Summary
He knows these excuses aren’t going to hold out forever. Circuit just keeps giving him that suspicious, disappointed look, and Tubbo’s not sure how much more of that he can take. He keeps waiting for Circuit to give it up, and maybe for him to get annoyed, frustrated that Tubbo won’t just give it up. He wonders how long it’ll take for Circuit to start hating him instead, to go cold and stop offering these always-declined invitations. To realize that Tubbo’s not someone he wants to hang out with, anyway.
Here’s another step towards the inevitable, Tubbo thinks.--
or: five times tubbo was a bitch and refused to hang out with his very cool friend tommy “short-circuit” innit, and one time he decided to let him in.

Summary
Tonight, this is not just any shift. This is Short-Circuit’s first ever patrol as a proper junior hero. Which means Phil’s job is not only to stop crime, but also to keep a fifteen-year-old from getting himself into bigger trouble than he knows how to get out of.
It’s going to be a long night.
