Why do I need a family?

Deep trouble

I'd be lying if I told you I chose this fanart for any reason other than I just love purpled.

All five boys were currently being led downstairs to show the other adults why they refused to open the bathroom door. Sadly for them they were not trusted to walk by themselves so one adult was holding each kids hand so they didn't try to run into a room and lock the door, not like they would since Techno was there but better to be safe then sorry. "Oh thank god you guys got the-" Phil starred at Tommy's new hair color in shock and a tad bit of anger, "ThomasInnit danger Minecraft I'm going to give you 5 seconds to explain what happened to your hair." Tommy knew he was screwed now Phil only used his full name when he was in deep trouble "uhh well we kinda dyed my hair in my bathroom..." Tommy looked away from Phil not wanting to look at his angry face but all he was met with was the angry faces of Tubbo's parents, Schlatt and Puffy, which is debatably worse. "Tommy I swear to everything holy if my bathroom is messed up." "It isn't we swear we cleaned up the mess!" Tubbo yelled trying to get the attention off Tommy, he knew how embarrassing this must be for him. "Tubbo quiet." Tubbo looked over at his dad and quickly realized he was in a lot of trouble too they all were so it would be in their best interest to be careful with their words. "You really expect me to believe you 5 boys went into the bathroom dyed Tommy's hair and just didn't make a mess?" The boys knew Phil had a good reason not to believe them but they weren't lying so all they could do was prey that helped their case. "We cleaned up the entire mess we wanted to make sure we didn't mess up your bathroom." Purpled was the one who put himself on the line now. Phil sighed "Techno, is this true did the bathroom look clean?" Techno nodded his head saving the boys from that problem but they still knew they had a bigger one to take care of. "Ok well thank you for that but I think we still want to know why Tommy's hair is a different color." Tommy gulped he honestly didn't want to admit it in front of all these people. "Well?" Tommy looked over to Tubbo who gave him an encouraging smile "I don't like my real hair I wanted to be blonde like you and since Techno dyed his hair at my age I thought it would be ok..." Phil looked shocked again he truly did feel bad for Tommy he always hated it when his kids didn't like something about themselves. "Tommy you should have came up to me and said something not get hair dye from your friends and then do it yourself that's not safe." Tommy looked down it was very obvious he was upset he hated it when his dad was disappointed in him. "How did you even get the hair dye?" Tommy didn't know if he should tell he didn't want Ranboo in more trouble. "I got it for him at the village near my house." Ranboo felt Technos hand tighten around his wrist "Ranboo, how did you get that hair dye?" Ranboo looked Techno in the eyes he knew that would get his dad to truly believe him "I helped around the village until I got enough emeralds to buy the dye." Techno nodded at him he knew Ranboo was telling the truth no one looks him in his eyes and lies. "Who did you buy it from?" Schlatt was familiar with the village Ranboo was talking about he would know if the kid got a good dye. "I got it from the salon that uses natural resources to make their dyes." Schlatt remembered something upon hearing this "they do the same thing Minx does to dye her hair and the same thing as Techno too." Things were looking better for the boys maybe just them making a few smart decisions to do this would outweigh the dumb one. "Ok boys I'm happy you all were smart enough to get good items to dye Tommy's hair and I really appreciate the fact you cleaned up your mess." This sounded good "but..." never mind, the boys should of known better then to get their hope up "I can't say what your parents are going to do about this I think you guys are smart enough to know you will be punished though." Tommy looked back up at Phil "what's my punishment?" Phil looked over at Tommy and smiled "you my little raccoon are grounded for 2 weeks." Eh Tommy's had longer. "Dad?" Tubbo looked over to Schlatt "no playing with the bees for a week." Tubbo was not happy about that but he kept his mouth shut so it wouldn't be longer. Purpled already knew his punishment but he could at least try to shorten it "hey greatest big brother in the entire world." Punz gave Purpled a seriously look at his terrible attempt at being nice "no bed wars for a week and a half." Fundy looked at Eret "grounded for 2 weeks." Fundy was ok with this punishment. Ranboo had turned to Techno now not really knowing what to expect "dad?" Techno looked down at Ranboo "you're grounded for 2 weeks and we're gonna have a long talk when we get home." Ranboo nodded at his father he wasn't scared about the talk he had a slight idea of how this talk would go so he saw no reason to be scared of the conversation. Now weather he would cry or not was a different story, when Ranboo feels bad about something he did sometimes he'll cry but he felt safe doing that around Techno so it wasn't a big deal. "Well Tommy go open your other gifts, your friends have to leave soon so if you want to say thanks you should do that now." Tommy nodded at Phil and ran off with the others to see what he got.

HEY! Here's a time skip🙃
The party ended a while ago currently Techno and Ranboo are walking home. The two were being silent Ranboo was assuming the conversation would happen when they made it home which was currently in view. It only took them 5 minutes to make it to the door, Techno opened it and let Ranboo walk in first. The young boy went over to the couch sat down and looked at Techno who was now leaning against the wall next to the door. "I'm proud of you." Ranboo was shocked that was extremely sudden and while he did like being told that he didn't know why it was being said. "W-why?" Techno looked away from the young boy "you knew this would get you in trouble there's no way you didn't." Ranboo nodded but he still didn't follow "but knowing this you still spent a bunch of money you worked very hard for so Tommy would be happy." Ranboo never really thought of it that way. "Now don't get me wrong the way you went about doing this was stupid and you're still in trouble for that but, I'm still proud that you went through all of that trouble to make Tommy like the way he looks." Ranboo understood where Techno was coming from but in all honesty he didn't see a point in being proud of him, Tommy had cried multiple time in front of their friend group about how much he hated his hair and how it made him ugly, in Ranboo's eyes any decent human being would do something like that. Right?

Authors note
Hello my beautiful readers I hope you are having a wonderful day! I wanted to tell you guys the next chapter might take a second to get out I recently got some advice for a way to not discourage people who just see my big blocks of paragraphs and don't feel like they can read that well it will also help you guys share your opinions on certain things in the story better! Only problem is I've never wrote like that so I need to figure out how to do that for the next chapter. As an apology for that wait though I'll make the chapter really fluffy and sweet! But anyways drink plenty of water and get a good amount of sleep (that means 8 hours my fellow night people).BYE!!!
