A New Family | Tommy Angst | Adoption

Swimming

Once Techno woke up, the voices were still there. *Why are they still here?! They should be gone by now* Techno thought, kinda panicking, the pain hurt a lot. He texted Phil on his phone. "Phil plz come in my room" the text read. He soon heard Phils door open and close quietly, then his own door opening.

Once Phil opened the door he saw Techno sitting up in his bed with his face buried in his arms. He quickly rushed over to Techno and gave him a hug. Techno started crying quietly. "Why are they still here" Techno whispered loud enough for Phil to hear. "I don't know mate, I'll go get some water and painkillers for you" Phil said, getting up when he felt a tug on his sleeve. "Wait, please don't go" Techno whispered again. Phil sat back down and hugged Techno. "It's ok I won't go, can I call Will in here" Phil asked to which Techno nodded, still silently crying into Phils shoulder.

"Will plz go to Technos room, it's the voices again" the text read. Soon after, Wilbur's face was soon poking around the door. "Please can you go get some painkillers and a glass of water Will" Wilbur nodded and headed downstairs, not worrying about being too loud. He got the stuff and headed back up. Technos crying was getting a bit louder as the pain got worse. After Techno had taken the things he started to quiet down a bit. Wilbur took Techno away from Phil and into his own arms. They got comfy against the wall as Techno got sleepier in Wills arms. This allowed Phil to go and check on Tommy.

Tommy was sitting up in his bed staring at the wall in his own thoughts, he hadn't notice Phil standing in the doorway. "Good morni-". "What happened? Is everyone ok?" Tommy interrupted with a worried look on his face. "Everyone's ok Tommy calm down" Tommy sighed in relief. "Who was crying?" Tommy asked. "It was Techno, I may as well tell you before you see it happen" Phil said, sitting down on the bed. Tommy was confused by this but listened anyway. "Tommy, Techno has voices in his head, I don't know what they say but when it happens it hurts Techno a lot" Phil explained.

Tommy then ran past Phil and into Technos room. He burst through the door to see the brothers hugging on the bed. Wilbur's hand was on the back of Technos head, stroking his hair whilst his other hand was rubbing his back. Wilbur was whispering in Technos ear, telling him that it going to be alright. Tommy's eyes widened, he had never seen Techno like this before.

He ran over to Techno and hugged him tightly. Phil then entered the room to see the 2 brothers had sandwiched Techno into a hug. Phil laughed and went to make food. "Ok- guys I'm ok now, you can let go" Techno said, struggling to breathe from the hug. They laughed and let go. "Breakfast is ready" They heard Phil yell from downstairs.

They all went down and was greeted with pancakes for breakfast. They all ate and went to get ready for the day. It was raining so they couldn't really do much. Soon after thinking about what to do they decided on going swimming. They all put on their swimming trunks, put a t-shirt on and got in the car. Tommy regretted agreeing to this because of 2 reasons. 1. He couldn't swim 2. He hated how skinny he was. He didn't want to say any of those things in case they saw him as weak.

Once Tommy opened the door to the car he zoned out, thinking about what they would think about him or his body. He zoned back in once he smelt chlorine from the pool. He noticed he is holding Phils hand, squeezing it tightly. Tommy apologised and let go. Phil laughed "It's ok, you can hold my hand if you want" Phil smiled at him and brought the boys to the changing rooms. They all took their tops off except Tommy. "Tommy come on!" Wilbur said. Tommy hesitated but didn't really have a choice.

Once they got to the pool they all got in except Tommy. He just started blankly at the water with his arms around his body, trying to make his skinnyness not visible. The pool was nearly empty with only a couple people in it. "Tommy you getting in?" Techno asked, looking back at Tommy. Tommy walked in, only staying in the shallow bit. Techno had noticed all the flinching Tommy had been doing ever since he got here so he pulled Tommy over to the other side of the pool and asked him a few questions.

"Can you swim?" Techno asked. Tommy shook his head slightly. "That's ok, I can teach you!" Techno suggested. "One more question, are you insecure about your body Tommy". Tommy started to tear up, really not wanting to answer this one. Techno hugged him, already knowing the answer. "Tommy you shouldn't care about what you look like, you could be the skinniest person in the world and you would still look great!" Techno said. Tommy smiled and gave him a hug. They then went over to Phil and Wilbur in the deep end.

"Tommy get on my back" Techno said. Tommy got on and hugged Techno tight, scared to let go. Tommy felt very small around Techno because he had muscles, Tommy didn't. Techno looked manly, Tommy didn't. Once they over to where Phil and Wilbur were, Techno told them that Tommy couldn't swim so they decided to teach him how to swim. Wilbur went out 6-10 metres from where Tommy, Techno and Phil had their arms out, ready for Tommy.

"All you have to do is kick your feet and move your arms like this" Phil explained, showing Tommy the correct way. Tommy nodded. Techno was holding Tommy against the wall, leaving room for him to kick off the wall and to Will. When Tommy was ready, he kicked off the wall, doing what Phil did, until he realised he wasn't staying up, but was sinking lowly. He started to panic as the water touched his nose. Wilbur grabbed him and pulled Tommy to him and hugged Tommy. "You alright?" Wilbur asked, looking down at Tommy, he was shaking a bit but was fine.

Phil brought Tommy back to Techno and repeated. This time, Tommy lasted a bit longer until he began to slowly get swallowed by the water and being brought back up by Will. Wilbur then moved a bit further back as Tommy tried again. And again. And again. Until finally he didn't sink and instead just floated towards Will. They all clapped which made Tommy smile. Tommy then got a bit too confident and swam towards Techno, but with having nothing to push off of he started to sink again. He began to panic again as he swallowed a bit of the water but was brought back up by Phil. "You ok mate?" Phil said, laughing a bit.

Tommy coughed and hugged Phil whilst nodding. "Times almost up, what shall we do?" Wilbur said. Then Techno dumped Wilbur under the water for a second before bringing him back up. They all laughed except for Will. Wilbur then pounced back at Techno, dragging him under. They continued to do this whilst Phil took Tommy over to the shallow bit, placing him down so he can stand up. Tommy bounced around in the water whilst Phil relaxed on the step to the pool, just sitting there, watching his sons having fun.

He started to drift asleep when he felt water splash him in his face, he looked up to see his sons all laughing at him. Phil then took this as a challenge and splashed back. They continued playing until it was time to get out. They got dry and dressed then went to go and grab some food at the little cafe the place had. They all ate and went home.

"Thank you" Tommy whispered to Techno in the car. Techno smiled and ruffled Tommy's hair. Once home they all went to their rooms. Tommy jumped onto his bed. *if Techno wasn't there then Phil and Wilbur would of probably just left me*. He thought.

TIME SKIP

After they had their dinner they all chilled out whilst watching a movie. After that they went to bed.
