Home? (Sleepy Bois + Tubbo AU)

Chapter Fourteen

Edited :)

It had barely been 10 minutes since they had gotten home when Phil called his four sons to the kitchen, Wilbur came in first and then Techno came in with Tommy and Tubbo behind him, both tired and hungry.

"Boys, why did you leave?" Phil asked as calmly as he could, but still attempting to add some sort of authority to his voice.

Tommy shuffled his feet and looked at Tubbo, who seemed uninterested too say the least.

"Tubbo?" Phil pressured.

"I was scared of losing Tommy to you guys." Tubbo said quietly, looking at his feet.

"That's so-" Wilbur started talking but was very quickly shut down with a glare from Techno.

"Tubbo, you do understand it's barely been a month right? Things are bound to be rocky." Phil said.

"When you've spent your whole life close with someone and then you spend a month slowly drifting, it feels like a lot longer." Tubbo spoke, slightly louder.

Tommy stayed silent, barely making an noise apart from his breathing and the occasional sniff.

Nobody knew what to say after that, it was quite for a moment until Wilbur spoke up again,

"Tubs, I can't say I get it so i'm not going to lie and pretend I know what you're going through but you're not losing Tommy. We're a family and we all love you both."

Tubbo rolled his eyes and shook his head, "You keep saying, you all do. 'Family this, Family that' even you Tom." Tubbo said, pretty much shouting now.

Tommy still stayed quite, looking back at Tubbo sympathetically. He looked around at his family, nobody saying anything, all starting at him expecting him to reply to his older brother,

"Tubzo, I love you." Tommy said quietly, not really knowing what to say but nonetheless trying to show his brother that he cared.

Tubbo looked surprised at Tommy's reaction but smiled in return.

The awkward silence returned once more, it reminded Tommy of the first day him and Tubbo came when they were sitting in the living room.

So much had changed since then, he had started eating and loved to play music with Wilbur.

He had finally belonged somewhere and somehow he had neglected his brother.

That's when a thought crossed his mind, they had barely left the house since they came here and him and Tubbo both needed to go to school.

"I'm sorry, this really isn't on topic in the slightest but we haven't been to school.." Tommy said, confusion in his voice.

"Well Toms, we wanted you to settle in before we threw you into that type of environment but well.." Phil started to explain.

"It didn't go as smoothly as we hoped." Techno finished Phil's sentence and then tried to get back on track, "Tommy, you know we do care about you right?"

Tommy shrugged, he thought they did and he was so sure they did but after hearing Tubbo's words, his brother, the one who trusted basically anyone and was more than willing for change to happen, his thoughts had changed so much.

"Tommy, is that why you ran away with Tubbo?" Wilbur asked after Tommy didn't speak.

"Kinda, I mean I also just wanted to make sure Tubbo was safe and I wanted to be with him." Tommy muttered and Wilbur nodded.

"He's my brother.."
