Proud (Tommy Angst) (1/3)

No one POV

It was never really a secret, Phil had a favorite. So more often than not Wilbur and Tommy found themselves alone together. Wilbur was always there to look after his younger brother, keeping him safe and out of trouble.

Of course, Wilbur loved his little brother. But he couldn't help but feel like he wanted to have his own special thing. A hobby of some sort. So he turned to music. He bought a guitar and began taking lessons before joining band. 

He loved it. Being with people who enjoyed the same thing as him made him so happy. Plus it was his own special thing and he was very good at it. So when Tommy started to play piano he was worried.

He was very proud of Tommy, but couldn't help but feel angry towards the blonde. This was his thing, something that separated him for Tommy.

Tommy was completely oblivious to this thought. What Tommy wanted more than anything was to make his older brother proud and he decided that joining band was the best option. It wasn't long before he began to get solos, more than Wilbur was.

Wilbur began to distance himself from his brother, always finding himself annoyed by the younger. The only one who took notice was Techno, who found it very odd. Wilbur had always been close to Tommy so it was strange when they weren't hanging out like usual.

"Did something bad happen between you and Tommy?" Techno strode into Wilbur's room, not even bothering to knock.

"No." Wilbur didn't even look up from his desk.

"So why aren't you two talking?" Techno pressed, hoping to get to the bottom of it.

"We are talking."

Techno sighed, "Don't lie to me Wil."

Wilbur groaned, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Have you seen Tommy's face recently? He looks so sad." 

The brunette said nothing, not allowing himself to feel guilt. He shook his head, turning back towards his homework.

That's when it clicked. "It's band isn't it?"

Wilbur looked up, slowly nodding. 

"What's wrong with Tommy playing an instrument? We all play something." Techno thought to his violin, hidden away in its case.

"But you're in orchestra! He's literally in my class Techno. I can't get away from him. This was supposed to be my hobby." 

Techno bit his lip, saddened by his words. He remembered how happy Tommy had been when he found out he was in the same class as Wilbur. He hadn't been able to stop smiling for a week straight.

"Is he doing good at least?" Techno hoped he could make Wilbur see how hurtful he was being towards the blonde.

"Of course he is! He's been getting solo after solo. More than me! It's not fair Tech. Why does Tommy always have to do what I do? And be better at it!" 

"Would playing help your frustration?" he questioned, jumping off the conversation.

"A violin and a guitar? Those don't sound good together." Wilbur shook his head.

"Yeah but we sound good together." 

"Fine." Wilbur admitted defeat, secretly happy about the idea. They didn't play as much anymore, with Techno being so busy constantly.

When Tommy got home that night, he was exhausted. He had spent the entire day at school and then he went to lessons. He didn't tell anyone about these lessons, wanting to pay for it himself. He just wanted to be as good as Wilbur and Techno were with their instruments. 

So when he came home to the sound of a guitar and violin, he got excited. He had been begging to play with them and now was his chance! He raced to his room, dropping off his things before skipping towards the sound.

Tommy softly knocked and opened the door. Techno and Wilbur both glanced towards him, both having a very different expression. Techno was smiling while Wilbur muttered under his breath.

"What do you want?" Wilbur grumbled.

"I wondered if I could play with you guys? I just learned this-" Tommy began.

"Another solo, big surprise." Wilbur rolled his eyes.

Tommy felt himself deflate at his words. "Actually-"

Wilbur interrupted him again, "I'm really not in the mood Tommy."

The blonde felt tears coming but quickly turned away. "Sorry." his said, his voice barely above a whisper. He left the room, walking towards his room. 

He put away the music he had been wanting to show them. It was Wilbur's song. He had been teaching himself the notes for two weeks now. Maybe it just wasn't the right time to show him. He would try again tomorrow.
