Tommy and Tubbo had wrapped up their stream for the day. It lasted about 2 hours, and they were streaming together irl, after meeting up for Tommy's birthday.

Tubbo was visiting Tommy for a week, and so far, their time together had been action-packed, the two trying to get in as many things as possible before they parted again, and their only communication would be through a screen. Tommy gave him a tour around his town, took him to the shops, and showed him some of his favorite places.

But they got somewhat worn out after 2 days full of these activities, and needed a break from being so enthusiastic, and after pushing through a 2 hour stream, they were out of energy.

They went downstairs, and saw Tommy's mother had made dinner for the two, sitting on the counter, waiting the be heated up.

As they got their food ready, they only spoke a few words to each other, a drastic change from what they had become accustomed to the past few days, with them constantly fooling around or laughing crazily. But it felt natural, neither of them had noticed the sudden change, they were just happy to be in each other's presence.

They moved to the couch to eat their meal, Betty and Walter sitting by their feet, trying to convince the boys to give them some of their food with those pleading dog eyes.

Tommy took the remote, turned on the tv on the wall in front of them, and turned on an episode of South Park, knowing it was Tubbo's favorite show.

They ate their food rather quickly, being so hungry after not eating a lot after their lunch earlier that day, and seeing as it was now around 8 pm.

After they were done, they discarded their empty plates in the sink, and made their way back to the couch. Walter had retreated on trying to steal some food from the boys and gone into a different room to sleep, and Betty took a laid down on a chair next to the couch.

Tommy sat down on the couch first, and Tubbo followed, and laid his head on Tommy's chest, his back against the couch. Tommy placed his hand on top of Tubbo's head, and ran his fingers through his hair gently. Tubbo felt Tommy's chest slowly rise and fall as he breathed while he watched the show, soothing him into a more relaxed state.

This was what they needed. They were still enjoying themselves, but kept the energy low. They were relaxed, and found comfort in the fact they were able to have moments like these without needing to verbally communicate all the time.

And the next day, their energy was right back up to where it was before, and they continued with their normal antics.
