Binkies and Superpowers - An Sbi Story

chapter 1- IM NOT A CHILD! (well sometimes I am)

Wilbur POV

I love Tommy like a brother, but the kid is annoying sometimes. Like all night he's been squirming, wiggling, and mumbling. Techno thinks he's tired after patrolling and training for the past week straight but god he's being more of a child than usual. Finally, after his squirming leads to him tipping into my lap I say something.

"Mate what's up you've been weird all night." I didn't think it was a big deal but he immediately stiffed and started word vomiting excuses.

"I'm tired." And "I'm just messing around" or even "I don't know maybe you don't know me that well!" But after I give a confused face he just says "Wilby just leave me alone!" And I can't help it;

"WILBY!? Where'd that come from? Ickle Tommy finally give me a nickname? That's adorable mate!" And Tommy, having his head laid on my lap this whole time, shoves his face into my stomach.

It knocks the wind out of me but I feel something else. Tears?

"Tommy, are you crying?" Right after those words left my mouth Tommy springs up and goes to the room we gave him.

We live in an old house in the country that his mom drops him off at every weekend so he can see us, we became close friends with his family but they still don't know about any of us being heros.

Right after Tommy ran off me Phil and Techno share a confused look.

Technoblade POV

After the gremlin runs off I see a wet spot on Wilbur's shirt.

Phil says what everyone is thinking, "What was that?!" Phil having just got home still had his wings out.

Wilbur is first to speak up "I don't know what happened! He was just acting weird and when I asked him he called me Wilby and so I started teasing him."

I quickly butt in "And he started crying, which in itself is weird because it's Tommy. And when Wilbur pointed it out instead of playing it off he ran to his room."

"Well I saw that part."- Phil pinches the bridge of his nose- "what should we do? Send him home?"

Wilbur gets a look on his face that can only get summed up as 'wtf' and adds in, quite confused-

"I don't think that will help!" He then sharply motions to me, "why doesn't techno deal with him!"

"Why me?!"

Both Phil and Wilbur look at me.

"Shit that wasn't meant to be out loud-" I stop when I see Phil waving his hands.

"Wil has a point- he's most likely upset with Wil, and he probably doesn't want to deal with my 'old manness' so you're the last option." He walks up to me and puts his hand on my shoulder and says ever so quietly "good luck."

Tommy POV

So I might've overreacted but it's not my fault I've been teetering on the verge of regression all night! Maybe I did take on too many patrols or too much training, but Wilbur didn't have to be so Mean! Maybe I did call him Wilby but-

I hear a knock on my door. When I walk over and open it I see it's Techno.

"Can I come in?" He looks super awkward. By the time I realized I staring he was already saying, "heeeey! Tommy you there?" I shake my head and say.

"Yeah... um... sure" he walks past me briskly and points to my bed. I give him a confused look and just motions again.

"Sit," he says coldly. I can feel my headspace start to gunk up my head but I sit anyways. Techno sat down to me next and I had to fight to not just throw myself into his lap. "What was that all about" I just look at him. Unsure what to do. "Tommy you can't just stare at me, what happened" looking down at my feet I feel the bed shift, Techno put a hand on my shoulder. "You've been weird all night, what is, wrong."
