A New Family | Tommy Angst | Adoption

Hanging Out With Friends

(I forgot to mention that Tommy got George's number at some point)

Tommy woke up to a text from his phone, except this time it wasn't from Dream, well one was but the other one wasn't. It was from the group chat Tommy, Tubbo and George had made. "Hey guys, wanna hang out today" Tubbo texted. They all agreed and said that they were going to the local park at 11:30am. (Of cause Tommy asked Phil first before agreeing). They all also packed some food for a picnic. They all got ready and arrived there by 11:36. "Hey guys!" Tommy said from the other side of the place. They both yelled "hi" back and ran over to him.

"How we doing today" Tommy asked, feeling better today. "I'm good". "Yeah I'm doing alright" They both said. They walked over to the swings and chilled whilst talking. When it got to lunch, they went over to the grass bit whilst Tubbo went ahead and put down a blanket. They all got their food out and ate happily until Tommy got another text from Dream. "Where r u idiot" The text read. "None of ur business" Tommy wrote back as he put the phone down before getting another text. "Found ya" The caption read with a photo of the 3 friends eating.

Tommy started to panic, it was a 10 minute walk from his house, as were the others. "What's wrong" Tubbo asked Tommy. "Mind if I look" Tubbo asked, noticing the phone. Tommy nodded and showed the other 2. They gasped and packed everything up. Tommy started to hyperventilate, thinking about the cuts. "Hey it's ok, breathe with me ok" Tubbo said, breathing loudly for Tommy. Tommy copied the pattern as Dream got closer.

"So, what have we got here" Dream snickered. "Dream please, it's Saturday, can't we just chill for a day" George pleaded. "Hmm, let me think about that one... no" Dream laughed at the end of it and started walking faster. Tommy had calmed down and pulled Tubbo and George with him, he ran to the other side of the play ground, around all the play things and waited for Dream. "You guys split up and go around, I'll slide behind him" Tommy said to them. They both nodded and stuck to the plan.

Once Dream came close enough, the 2 boys took off whilst Tommy stayed still, he wasn't going to run, he needed to stall for his friends. "I see you have decided to be the 'hero'" Dream said as he sped walked towards Tommy. "Oh no, not the hero, the sacrifice I would say" Tommy said, he was very scared but he didn't want to sound it. Tubbo noticed Tommy wasn't at the other side and was instead backing away from a speeding Dream. "TOMMY COME ON" Tubbo yelled, making George stop running and turn around to look for himself.

Dream then punched Tommy straight in the face. That made the 2 boys fuming. They both ran up to Dream. George jumped on his back whilst Tubbo beat the living sh*t out of him. Tommy's nose started to bleed but that didn't bother him, it what was the memory's of 'him' flashing back into his head. "Well you think your Mr. I'm going to be brave all the time, when your not, SO STOP ACTING LIKE IT" 'He' would then punch Tommy straight in the face.

Tommy stayed on the ground shaking and hyperventilating. "I-I'm s-so sorry, I-I didn't m-mean it" Tommy said in between breaths. Tubbo stopped and looked at the panicking boy whilst George was still beating Dream. "Hey Tommy it's ok" Tubbo said calmly whilst lowering his arms. Tommy realised who it was and hugged Tubbo, still shaking and hyperventilating. "It's ok, your alright, come on let's go home" Tubbo said calmly, he helped Tommy off the ground and hugged him. "It's ok, your ok" Tubbo whispered in his ear. Tommy nodded, calming down a bit.

Tubbo dragged George off Dream and told him to go home whilst he took Tommy home. He knocked on the door 3 times before it opened. "Hey guys, you came home a lot earlier than expected" Phil said before he noticed Tommy. "What happened, come in come in". Tubbo sat Tommy down on the sofa and hugged him. "Technoblade can you come here please" Tubbo yelled for Techno. He soon came rushing down the stairs to Tommy. "Hey hey it's ok, look at me, tell me what happened" Techno said calmly.

"T-the m-memory's" Tommy struggled to speak but he got it out. Techno nodded and pulled Tommy into a hug. Tommy clung to Techno as he wrapped his cape around Tommy. He started to calm down. Tubbo looked at Techno confused "Memory's?". "He'll tell you when he's ready" Techno told Tubbo. Tubbo nodded and told Techno what happened. "Also you can call me Techno, Technoblades my school name" Techno said to Tubbo. Tubbo nodded. "Tommy can I tell Tubbo about, y'know" Techno asked. Tommy nodded.

"Basically Tommy was in many abusive homes before this one, meaning he has a lot of trauma and a lot of things can set him off, he's also adopted if you couldn't tell" Techno explained, cutting it short. "Oh, that's a lot to go through at this age" Tubbo said, feeling bad for his new best friend. "Mhm, it's terrible" Techno said as his face dropped. "You alright" Tubbo asked Techno. "Perfectly fine" Techno lied, he felt really bad for Tommy, he's been through so much at such a young age. He hugged Tommy tighter. Tommy had been listening the whole time, he was now hoping that Tubbo wouldn't treat him differently because of this new information.

"Tubbo". "Yes Tommy". "Please don't treat me differently now that you know this, and if you tell anyone our friendship is over, if I like it or not" Tommy said, sounding very serious at the end. "I promise you I won't treat you differently or tell anyone, you can trust me" Tubbo said. Tommy nodded as he felt a lot safer than before. He started to slowly fall asleep in Technos arms.

——————————
Tubbo now knows, let's hope that Tommy can really trust him.
