Thomas isn't it

Sam Nook

Sam Nook.

Tommy had been devastated about being replaced by Ranboo. By his own family nonetheless.

Tommy always thought of himself as a "big man" but he was still only 16 and needed someone with him, to care about him, and to just be there for him.

Tommy was sitting on his bench when Sam came and sat next to him. Sam had just been told, by Dream, what Dream did to him, Sam realized that the kid had been through enough and needed someone.

"HELLO, TOMMYINNIT." Sam Nook spoke. Tommy laughed softly.

"Hello, Sam Nook." Tommy realized that Sam was just putting on a fake character ever since he started building his hotel, but he liked Sam anyway and didn't care. Sam smiled.

"What are you doing out here? It's cold outside, Toms." Sam spoke normally now, genuinely concerned as to why the boy was out in such cold weather. Tommy was silent for a minute.

"Just.." Tommy trailed off. "..thinking." Tommy was thinking indeed, he was thinking of all the fun his family had when he was little, he was thinking of reasons why Ranboo was better than him, he was thinking of ways to get his family back.

"About?" Sam asked, trying to understand what had the boy so upset. Tommy sighed.

"My family.." Tommy brought his knees up to his chest and looked up at the stars to keep tears back in his eyes. Sam became concerned.

"What did they do, Toms?" Sam asked, he thought Tommy forgave them for blowing up L'manburg, Sam definitely wouldn't if he was in that position but it wasn't his place to decide for Tommy. Tommy's eyes were starting to overflow with water.

"They replaced me with Ranboo." Tommy scoffed and felt a hand placed on his shoulder. Tommy turned to him and was hugged immediately.

"Toms, I know you think you can handle yourself but you do need someone to look after you. If they wont be that then I will, Toms." Sam smiled and released the younger from the hug. Tommy was crying at this point.

"Thanks, Sam. I'd like that." Tommy was embarrassed to admit that he wanted someone to be there for him, but he was so happy he finally had someone.

Sam hugged him again and eventually Tommy fell asleep. Sam carried Tommy back to his house and placed him in his bed. Sam realized that Tommy didn't have a spare bed and so he laid down next to the bed Tommy was in and fell asleep on the floor.

"Tommy wake up!" Sam shook Tommy's shoulder lightly and smiled when Tommy opened his eyes. "Morning, Toms." Sam said to the younger. Tommy sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Morning, dad." Tommy said sleepily, not even noticing he had said dad. Sam noticed though and froze immediately and smiled wider than he ever had before.

Tommy stood and walked with Sam to the nether portal, deciding that they wanted to get some netherite. When they walked inside they were met with three familiar faces. Phil, Techno, and Ranboo. Tommy froze and Sam immediately noticed.

"Tommy! We were just coming to see you!" Phil said to the boy. Tommy didn't like where this was going and subconsciously stepped behind Sam. Sam noticed and decided to step in.

"Sorry, we are going netherite mining. C'mon, Toms" Sam smiled at the younger and grabbed his hand and started to walk in the opposite direction. Techno grabbed Tommy's other hand though.

"Uh.. he's my brother." Techno spat at the man. Sam immediately saw how Tommy looked extremely uncomfortable at Techno's words and Sam yanked Techno's hand off of Tommy's.

"Uh.. sorry he's my son." Sam copied and stepped in front of Tommy, who was now in shock that he had been called his son by Sam. Phil's eyes immediately widened.

"He's actually my son." Phil corrected. Sam smiled.

"Last time I checked, fathers don't blow up their kids home and replace them with another kid." Sam was happy that he had gotten to tell Tommy's horrible father the truth. Sam looked at their surprised faces and took the opportunity to leave with Tommy.

Instead of running off into some random spot in the nether to netherite mine, Sam grabbed Tommy's hand and went to the path to Sam's house. They arrived at Sam's house and Tommy walked in behind Sam.

Sam took Tommy to the spare bedroom and smiled as the younger was immediately fascinated with all the redstone contraptions in the house. Tommy turned to Sam and smiled.

"Thanks for helping me, dad." Tommy had said it again. Except this time he was completely aware that he had said it and Sam smiled brightly.

Tommy's face became extremely red with the embarrassment of calling him dad but Sam didn't care and immediately hugged his son.

"No problem, Toms." Sam smiled as he felt Tommy hug him back.

Sam Nook was the best father ever.
