Chapter Five

I guess we were really family.

We ate breakfast together as usual then cleaned up. Today was the day that Dad had decided to take us out shopping to get me new things since we still hadn't done that. I would still stay in Wilbur's room but we would move stuff around since his room was the largest due to Techno not wanting a big room.

We had considered just getting another bunk bed but decided against it.

The car ride wasn't long and we listened to the Hamilton soundtrack the whole way there. The mall we went to was huge and filled to the brim with bustling people.

Dad holds my hand as we walk into a clothing shop. There were so many colours that my eyes hurt. It was really bright out too so that didn't help much.

I felt everything was really loud and I was very overwhelmed. Dad must've noticed this as he led me away to a corner.

"Hey, just look at me. Breathe, okay?" He instructs me with his hands and voice.

"In, and out. In, and out. In, and out." He rubs my back comfortingly, "Better now?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that."

"No need to apologize, hun. It happens to the best of us. Do you wanna stay here for another minute or two or head back to the others?"

My hands are still a bit shaky.

"Could we...stay? Just for a minute?"

He chuckles, his voice calms me.

"Of course."

We stood in silence with Dad just lightly rubbing small circles into my back.

He suddenly picks me up and rests me on his hip and asks, "Ready? We can stay longer if needed though."

"Yeah, I'm okay now. Thank you for waiting."

His smile widens, "No need to thank me! It's what us Dads do, sweetheart. We care for our children. I love you, Y/N."

Now it seems to be my turn to smile, "I love you too, Dad."

We slowly make our way back to the other boys who seem to be fighting about something stupid as usual; me still on Dad's hip. He must've known I felt safer there.

"Alright, let's find you some new clothes."

We walk around the store, picking out a few outfits and other little things. We head down to other stores and shops finding other things for the room. The main colour theme was yellow, black, and white. Wilbur and I shared a love for these colours so we picked things out together.

Techno stayed silent most of the time unless he felt the need to put his input. Tommy convinced Dad to buy him more records, or as he called them 'discs', for his record player. Him and Tubbo apparently loved these things.

Wilbur got a new guitar pick and some new beanies. Dad told us he would take us out for ice cream after this if we all behave which would be a struggle for a certain someone.

Techno said in hushed tones, "This is what Dad does to shut Tommy up. It usually works, somehow."

I laugh at his extra comment then take his hand. Dad had put me down a while back since I felt fine now.

He carries me along with him as we check out different parts of the book store we were in. We were headed in the direction of the mythology books, which is what Techno had explained to me.

"Wanna learn about some Greek mythology?"

"What's that?"

"Oh boy, this will take a while. I'll just get the books and we can read them at home, okay?"
