Thomas isn't it

Worth

Tommy goes to Technoblade to team with him and Techno notices that Tommy thinks he is useless because of the things Tubbo and Dream said and did to him.

"Thanks for helping me Techno.." Tommy said as he stood by the door shifting his weight from foot to foot, an anxious habit he had picked up. Techno frowned from where he was looking through a chest.

"Thats the seventh time you've said that, Toms.." Techno stood up and looked at his younger brother. Tommy's eyes widened.

"Oh.. sorry.." the younger trailed off and kept his eyes glued to the ground. Techno knew something was up. Tommy was not acting like the Tommy he knew and he think he knows why.

"Tommy." Tommy flinched and looked up at Techno. Techno immediately felt horrible and muttered out a 'sorry, Toms' and spoke again. "What did Dream do to you?" Techno spoke in a calmer voice. Tommy froze.

Tommy hated thinking about what Dream did to him. He thought he was hiding his trauma pretty well. Apparently Techno is more observant than the other people that came to visit him.

"Toms?" Techno was hugging Tommy now as tears streamed from the younger boys eyes. Tommy snapped out of whatever trance he was in and flinched away from his brother.

Techno frowned and stepped back, giving the boy some room.

"Look, Toms. You don't have to tell me what he did okay?" Techno watched as Tommy became less tense immediately after he had said that. "Lets go to bed, okay?" Tommy nodded and quickly went down the ladder.

Techno sighed. What had Dream done.

"Hey, Techno? Do you have any gapples?" Tommy asked. Techno laughed a little before replying.

"I've given you like a stack, Toms." Techno still reached into his chest to give him more as he basically had unlimited amounts from trading. Tommy's eyes widened and he immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry- you don't have to give me any, I didn't mean to be selfish." Tommy didn't realize that Techno was now staring at him with more concern than he had ever had from anyone else.

"Tommy.. you aren't selfish.." Techno put his hand on Tommy's shoulder and watched as Tommy looked up at Techno with a confused expression on his face.

"But- But Tubbo said-" Tommy was cut off by Techno pulling Tommy into a hug. Tommy tensed at first but then melted into the hug.

"Tubbo doesn't matter, Toms." Techno smiled as Tommy hugged Techno tighter. "You matter, and thats it." Techno kissed his younger brother's forehead and broke from the hug.

"Now if you speak about this, you're getting thrown into the hounds." Techno said deadpanned. Techno didn't show love towards anyone usually, only to his family, and he'd like to keep it like that.

Tommy laughed and his muscles were much less tense now.

"Alright, nerd, lets go build one of your towers or somethin', I don't like this new TommyInnit who is super tense all the time." Techno smiled. Tommy laughed and nodded at Techno and ran out the door with Techno close behind.

Techno was so going to commit a war crime tonight.
