EDITED :)

The three men slowly walked towards Tommy and Tubbo and took a seat opposite them.

The man in green started the conversation.

"Hey boys, I'm Phil and these are my sons, Techno-"

The boy with pink hair just waved and smirked as Phil talked.

"-and this is Wilbur."

Wilbur also waved but seemed much more excited than Techno was, Tommy was interested about the boys, curious if they even got on as they seemed like polar opposites.

He looked at Tubbo and saw that a smile had lit up his face, this made Tommy grin but he very quickly realised and rested his face, hoping no one saw and mistook it for him being excited to get adopted.

"I'm Tubbo! This is my brother Tommy." Tubbo spoke up, he looked at Tommy expecting him to wave or smile but he didn't even move. "Um, he's just tired, I don't think he got much sleep last night." Tubbo explained after his little brother just ignored him.

"That's quite alright, so what do you like doing Tubbo?" Phil asked after giving Tommy a comforting smile.

Tubbo thought for a second before answering, contemplating what the best answer would be.

"I like playing minecraft... and hanging out with Tommy. I don't really do much else!"

Tommy smirked at Tubbo and quietly laughed, in response Tubbo nudged him in the ribs and chuckled.

Phil looked at the boys, admiring the smiles on their faces and how happy they seemed together, it was never a thought to only adopt one but now he had absolutely no choice, they came as a package.

"Minecraft? That's cool, I like farming potatoes in minecraft." Techno added in a monotone voice, after the boys had finished laughing.

"Farming potatoes? Is that all you do orrr?" Tubbo asked, confused whether he was being serious or just joking.

"Well I play skyblock and bedwars too but yes, I farm potatoes quite a lot." Techno admitted, amused by Tubbo's reaction.

Tommy tried to listen and get involved but he didn't want to mess it up and decided to just zone out and let Tubbo do the talking.

He didn't really need to say much and the men probably wouldn't of cared for his input, Tubbo was much funnier and much more talkative.

After about 30 minutes, Tommy heard footsteps coming towards him, he glanced up to see Wilbur standing over him.

Wilbur kneeled down, careful not too invade any of Tommy's space and smiled.

"You don't seem very talkative Tommy." Wilbur pointed out.

"I'm just tir-" Tommy tried using the same excuse Tubbo had used for him but Wilbur just cut him off.

"That's bullshit and we both know it." Wilbur smiled, he didn't know the reason why Tommy was silent but he had a feeling it wasn't because he was 'tired'.

Wilbur had once been in an Orphanage too until Phil adopted him, he understood how people acted and was good at reading people.

He knew it was unlikely for Tommy to confide in him but it couldn't hurt to try.

Tommy rolled his eyes and looked down at his hands, picking the skin around his fingers.

"It's not bullshit... Wilbur? That's your name right?" Wilbur simply nodded and Tommy carried on speaking. "Even if it was, I wouldn't tell you. I don't really know you and you don't really know me." He was calm and quite trying not to seem as brash as he could be and usually was.

"I'm sorry for asking. Do you enjoy minecraft too?" Wilbur asked changing the topic as to not upset Tommy further.

Tommy looked up and smiled, a genuine smile.

"Yeah, it's cool. I don't spend the whole time farming potatoes though." Tommy loved minecraft and him and Tubbo would spend hours on it at a time.

It was one of their favourite things in the world but Tommy didn't feel the need to explain that to this freakishly tall, brunette boy.

"Mhm, I see. So you were paying attention to the conversation?"

Embarrassed by what Wilbur said, Tommy just nodded and then realised that was a complete and utter lie.

"I was at first but then I just zoned out."

Wilbur nodded and they spoke for another 20 minutes or so.

Well, Wilbur spoke to Tommy and Tommy replied with short sentences or gestures.

They got on alright but Tommy still couldn't shake the thought that every word he said, was another reason they weren't going to get adopted.

"Okay boys, today was fun. If you would like, you can say no. I'd very much like to adopt you into our family." Phil said after what seemed like days but was only really a couple hours.

Tubbo's eyes opened wide and his mouth dropped open.

Tommy on the other hand just smiled and nodded, yes he was excited but he didn't want to be let down or disappointed... again.

"Both of us?" Tommy questioned.

Phil looked confused and then nodded.

"Why would I only adopt one of you?" Phil raised an eyebrow at Tommy waiting for his reply.

Tommy just shrugged his shoulders and grabbed Tubbo's hand squeezing it and Tubbo squeezed back, assuring him everything would be fine.

"I dunno.." Tommy finally admitted after Phil didn't move or say anything else.

Phil just shook his head and chuckled. "Why don't you boys go pack while I fill out all the boring forms and paperwork." Phil motioned for them to leave with a flick of his hand and a smile.

Both boys stood up and Tubbo ran up the stairs, dragging Tommy along.

He collected up all his possessions and clothing, while Tommy grabbed a few important things and a couple of outfits because he barely wore the rest of his clothes and everything else, he just didn't need it and it reminded him of bad times.

They both finished up their packing as Techno and Wilbur walked in.

"Dad's downstairs, sent us up here to get you children." Techno explained putting his hand out to carry the boys' bags downstairs, Tubbo happily handed it over and started to run out the door but Tommy just shook his head and put his bag over his shoulder.

"You sure?" Techno asked. Tommy nodded his head and smiled.

"Guys! Let's go!" Tubbo shouted excitedly halfway down the stairs.

Wilbur shook his head and shouted back "We're coming!" speedily walking out of the room.

Techno followed them out until he realized Tommy hadn't moved from the square of carpet he'd been standing on.

Techno didn't say anything, instead choosing to reach out for Tommy's hand, which Tommy hesitantly held on to and let himself be walked out of his room.

He looked back at his room for hopefully the last time and smiled.

A/N: This one is quite long, I didn't even realize and I didn't know what part to end it on so I just kept writing and writing. Anyways, have a good day/night. <3
