"TOMMY!" I yelled worriedly after Tommy suddenly took off, Is he okay? was all I could think of. Maybe he's just nervous, I mean it is technically his first day here, and we don't really know much about him so I completely understand his actions. Suddenly a something tugging my sleeve broke me into reality "dad, is Tommy okay?" Wil said now leaning over the table slightly, ruffling Wil's hair i told him "I'm sure he's fine, he probably got a little overwhelmed and did what first came to mind" I look over at Techno who surprisingly wasn't in his seat anymore, when did he leave? "Techno?" I questioned looking over to the kitchen door "he left a few minutes after you zoned out dad, he went upstairs" Wil said patting my shoulder.

Me and Wil started cleaning up the dining table putting Tommy's dish to the side in case he wanted to eat it later, I started washing the dishes while Wil started sweeping the kitchen floor.

After sneaking out of the kitchen while dad was zoned out in his thoughts, I knocked on Tommy's door but no one answered, I knock again just in case but unfortunately still no answer. Slowly opening the door and letting myself in my surprise the room was empty, I looked around for a little bit about to call Phil over until a faint sob could be heard from the room, turning around I try to get closer to where the sound was coming from which led me to his bed. Confused I pick up his bedsheets to check if he was under them but there was nothing, I look under the bed and see a pillow facing in my direction with arms wrapped around the pillow tightly hiding his face behind the pillow. Bingo. 

I lay down on my stomach reaching my hand out towards Tommy and lightly shake his arm, I felt him flinch as soon as I touch his arm  "hey Tommy? you alright there?" I noticed he stopped crying as soon as I put my hand on his arm, he's most likely trying to hold it in so he does't cry in front of someone. He didn't answer me, instead he laid there still "hey Toms, just wanted to say that everything is okay, no one is mad at you, I know it may be overwhelming on your first day here, but try and relax a tiny bit, we aren't gonna lash out on you for nothing. If you genuinely have anything on your mind you know you can always talk to us, we care and will help you out, you are a part of this family and we wouldn't ever think about leaving you no matter how many problems you have" I watched as his arms tightened even more around the pillow, maybe he was considering it? I know for sure even though I made that cool little speech right now there's 95% chance he will still avoid telling us, and I get it, new surroundings, new people and it's definitely not easy to gain trust with people you just met. 

We laid there in the same position for almost 10 minutes now silently until suddenly I felt something gently hold my hand, looking up I saw Tommy's hand holding mine still covering his face with a pillow. I smile slightly and hold his hand back gently in return, we continued to lay in the same position until I drove off into sleep.

Me and Wil finished cleaning the Kitchen an hour ago, I watched Wil as he ran to the living room to play with his guitar, and I slightly smile seeing how dedicated Wil was to learn playing the guitar. I turn around and go upstairs to see where Techno went of too, was going to walk to his room until I noticed that Tommy's door was slightly open. Walking up to the door I knock "Tommy?" silence filled the hallway as I got no answer, I decide to walk into the room "Hey Tommy are y-" I cut myself off as I saw Techno sleeping on the floor laying on his stomach holding a small hand gently, I look over to see the hand coming from under the bed, Kneeling down to look under the bed I saw the small boy curled up hugging his pillow hiding his face away. Smiling kindly I walked out the room and stood on the stairs "Hey Wil! could you bring me the camera from the drawer in the living room?" after a few seconds I heard Wil shout back "Sure! one sec!" waiting patiently for the camera I saw Wil run up to me "here dad!" he said passing the camera over to me "thankyou Wil" I ruffle his hair and watch him run back to the living room to carry on playing his guitar. 

Walking back up the stairs quietly I enter back to the room and take a picture or two of the sleeping boys "wha- dad! lemme join!" I turn around to see Wil standing in the door way holding his guitar "wanna get into the picture?" I let out a small quiet laugh, Wil nodded and happily sat on the bed strumming his guitar playing a calm song he managed to write down in the past hour. I snap the Photo and sit down on the floor next to Techno and listen to Wil's song.

I was aware of everything that was happening, I wasn't asleep, but I didn't want to ruin the moment. I stayed silent and listened to the song Wilbur was playing, It was nice and calm, I didn't mind it, although it reminded me of Tubbo, I miss him so much. I really hope he isn't mad at me for leaving him, I swear I didn't want to leave him, but that old hag dragged me away forcefully, making me leave him. It was so unfair.. I felt some tears leave my eyes guess I was crying again, I really want my Tubbo back. I squeezed Techno's arm a little bit without noticing and cried into the pillow silently hoping i'll see Tubbo again one day. 

Wilbur's music definitely calmed me down as I slowly drifted off to sleep, it was the afternoon and im surprised Phil even let us sleep, usually i'd get yelled at for sleeping in the afternoon and would get told to clean the house or something, with my knowledge of cleaning I managed to injure myself a lot, especially at my age where I still had trouble reading, I was expected to know how things work and how to use them or i would get told off badly. So it makes me confused, why exactly is this family not yelling at me? not telling me to clean stuff and so on? isn't that how families work? have I been living a lie? why am I laying down here doing nothing? maybe this is their way of gaining my trust so that they could stab my back later and use me? I honestly have no clue, but starting from tomorrow im gonna start cleaning and doing stuff for them, I don't want destroy this, Tubbo would be so disappointed- ..if he isn't already that is.

Wilbur pov

Playing my guitar I see dad swaying his head slowly from side to side in the beat of the song im playing, Techno is sound asleep on the floor which is a rare sight, mostly for me. And Tommy who is asleep too i'm pretty sure is really quiet so it seems he's sleeping okay which makes me smile knowing I was able to make him have a good rest unlike last night, I played for a couple more hours enjoying the atmosphere we created in the room, the sun was slowly setting down, and there we saw an orangy yellow light shine through the window making the room look really nice as the lighting felt warm and almost nostalgic. I carried on playing until the sun set down a bit more. then I put my guitar to the side and I myself ended up falling asleep on Tommy's bed, leaving dad the only one awake.

I noticed Wil stopped playing and turn around slightly to see him asleep too, I smile again being happy that I have such amazing, funny and caring sons. Wouldn't trade them for anything else in the world, I spread one of my wings out and scoop up the camera I left on the shelf next to the door, then stood up and took another picture before the sun completely set down, I'll get those printed out tomorrow and put them in the photo book, I opened the draw in tommy's room and take out two blankets, and put one over Wil and one over Techno, not waking them up, I then proceed to leave the room and go to my own and sit on my bed, hm I don't think Tommy knew but he sleep talks a little every now and then quietly, I wonder who Tubbo is.. he kept saying their name a few times, was it a past member of his family? friend maybe? I would ask Tommy but I doubt he'd answer me. In that thought I get changed and go to bed, I'll see what I can do tomorrow.
