I Feel Like Something's Always Happening

Tommy wakes up first, he sits up and yawns before jumping a bit when he notices someone else sleeping next to him. He crawls over to the body and sees what he's pretty sure is his older brother's messy brown hair. Just to be sure however, he pushes his hair up and turns his head to look at his face.

He jumps a little when Wilbur wakes up from the sudden disturbance and sits up on the bed. Tommy thinks he should have a lot of questions about why Wilbur ended up here too, but he can't think of any right now. "Wilbur?"

The older boy blinks and pushes his hair out of his face. Wilbur never really was a morning person like Tommy and Techno, but Tommy was feeling pretty patient this morning so he just sits criss cross on top of the covers and waits for his brother to say something.

"We need to talk to Toms, I want to explain what's happening before we leave this room and see Philza."

"What do you mean 'what's happening' Wilbur? I feel like something's always happening." He mumbles and looks at his hands.

Wilbur goes on to explain about the shed and how he spoke with Philza last night and arranged for them to stay here. Tommy leans back a bit, trying to take the new information in.

"What about Techno? How will he know we're here?" Techno had just left that morning, Tommy didn't want him to think they left him out in the cold.

"We're gonna go back to the woods and collect everything we can. We'll leave him a note and if we see any of his friends we tell them too. He'll find us Tommy." Tommy watches as Wilbur gets out of bed. He stays sitting on the bed, unsure if Wilbur wants him to follow.

He squeaks when Wilbur locks his arms under Tommy's shoulders and lifts him up off the bed. "Come on now, let's go help with breakfast."

"We're cooking something?" He questions while trying to get his balance back from the sudden movement. Wilbur laughs before walking out the room. Neither of them had changed from their casual clothes, Tommy hoped Wilbur had been able to bring their outfits.

Their door opens to the living room where they see Phil already up and reading the paper. He quickly sets it down and stands up off the, in Tommy's opinion, ugly floral couch.

He worries that they had slept in late, but the living room clock says it's 7am. Phil must have to open the shop soon.

The boy climbs up on the unoccupied side of the couch and tucks himself in the corner tiredly. He closes his eyes as Wilbur and Phil talk about their plans to go back to the woods today.

He can't be bothered to listen to them, instead he just leans into Wilbur when he sits in-between him and Phil and starts running his hands through his hair.

Though he's worried about Techno, he doesn't quite mind the shed being destroyed. Phil's house was nicer. Not that he would tell Wilbur and Techno that.

He feels the couch shift as Wilbur stands up. He's taken by surprise when he's suddenly lifted off the couch and carried to the kitchen.

"Wilbur!" He shouted, surprised to be getting tossed around so early in the morning.

He's set down at the kitchen table, facing the kitchen where he sees Wilbur open the top cabinet and pull out some bread and jam.

Tommy considers going to help him but he's still waking up and the cold feeling of the kitchen table was way too nice on his face to leave.

So he just presses his cheek against the table and watches Wilbur put the bread in the oven and walk over to him and set the jam down on the table.
