Your everyday average family (Sleepy Bois AU)

14: 100% okay?

A few days later, Wilbur came home and so did Tommy, who refused to leave the hospital until his brother did, and Phil.

Tommy looked so tired, more tired than Wilbur was. It was as if it had affected his little brother more than it affected him and in hindsight that was definitely the case.

"Toms, you alright?" Techno asked sitting down next to Tommy on the sofa.

"Yup." He replied dryly and Techno raised an eyebrow.

"Don't lie." Was Techno's simple yet effective reply.

Tommy sighed before talking again, "It was my fault, I know it was. I hate him so much for attempting to leave us but I love him and care for him too. I fucked up his life by doing what he enjoyed. All because I wanted to spend more time with him."

Techno listened to Tommy rambling, none of it really flowing but more or less making sense.

"Why would it be your fault though?"

"He's been doing drugs for years and he's never done anything like this before. I start hanging out with him and his friends, acting like him and then this happens-"

Techno put a hand on Tommy's shoulder and pulled him close, brushing his fingers through his younger brothers hair.

"It's not your fault, i swear too you Tommy."

"Bullshit." Tommy said attempting to jump out of Techno's hold but his brothers tight yet comforting hold pulling him back.

"Have you asked?" Techno asked.

Tommy shook his head, "nah, I was going too but he seemed tired and i wanted him to focus on recovery not me."

"Ask him, I bet he'll say it's not your fault."

Tommy nodded and curled up into Techno's arms.

"You know Tech, I don't think i've ever said this but i'm so glad you're my brother. You're fucking awesome."

Techno smiled at his brother, "You're not so bad yourself, i'm glad we were lucky to be in this family."

Tommy nodded, he had no idea how long he stayed cuddled up with his brother but the next time he moved was when Wilbur walked in.

"Am I interrupting something?" Wilbur asked, smiling slightly earning a pillow being thrown at him by Tommy.

"No i actually need to speak to you.." Tommy said after.

Wilbur raised an eyebrow at Techno who just nodded in response.

Tommy stood up, hesitantly grabbing Wilbur's hand and pulling him out of the room.

"I'm sorry." Tommy said instantly.

"What for? If anything I should be apologising. I was selfish and dumb."

"I'm sorry for whatever I done that caused you to do this."

Fear flashed through Wilbur's eyes before he pulled Tommy into a hug.

"Tommy, I done it because I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to ever fix my addiction and because I didn't want to continue to be such a fuck-up of a brother. I'm not like you who's loud and funny and makes everyones day. I'm not like Tech who's smart and witty and knows how to fix problems. I'm me and what have I done other than fuck up? Your life would be better without me."

"Wil, you're awesome. You've been there for as long as I can remember. You taught me how to ride a bike and swim and you've been everything i ever needed. How stupid can you be? I need you! I need my eldest brother!"

Tommy took a breath before saying through shaky breaths, "but it was my fault?"

"What no- Tom-"

"You done it because you were so scared to fuck up my life, you done it because you thought i'd be happier?! It was my fault." Tommy pushed Wilbur away, "It was my fault.."
