A New Family | Tommy Angst | Adoption

New Member To The Family

Tommy woke up to the smell of alcohol, he was confused so he got up and went downstairs. His dad was there. Not Phil, the dad that abandoned him, the one that left him for dead. He gasped and ran upstairs, no one was there. "Phil! Techno! Wilbur? Ranboo?" He called out, not finding anyone. *Hide, I have to hide* he thought, running to his bedroom and hiding in his closet. He started shaking and his breathing was getting shorter. "Oh, Tommy" he heard from outside his door. "Tommy".

"TOMMY" Ranboo yelled, waking up the struggling Tommy. "AH PLEASE" Tommy yelled as he hid under the covers. "Tommy look at me, hear my voice ok, it's alright" Ranboo said calmly, moving to the other side of the bed to give him space. "What's going on" Techno asked, walking into the room and closing the door behind him. "I-I don't know" Ranboo stuttered. "It's ok. Tommy can you look at me for a second" he said calmly, sitting down next to Ranboo.

Tommy lifted his head above the covers slightly, just enough so he can look at the 2. "Y-you're back" Tommy gasped, falling into Technos arms whilst holding Ranboos hand. "We never left?" Ranboo said confusedly. "W-what?". "Are you ok?" Techno asked him. "I-I think so" Tommy replied. "You probably had a nightmare" Techno said. Tommy nodded slightly. "What happened in it?" Ranboo asked. Tommy started to think about it, his dad. "D-don't worry about it" Tommy stuttered, looking down at the floor.

"You ok now" Techno asked again. "Y-yeah, thank you" Tommy thanked, hugging Techno tightly. "Any time" Techno smiled. *Little brother, WHOLESOME MOMENT, BROTHERS* the voices were yelling. Techno flinched at this, everytime they spoke it hurt. Tommy looked up at him concerned. "You alight?" Ranboo asked him. "Yeah, I-I'll be right back" Techno said, standing up and walking out the room. Ranboo looked at Tommy confused. "What was that?" He asked. "I might have an idea but I'm not quite sure, we can check on him in a bit" Tommy replied, getting a small nod.

"Are you ok?" Ranboo asked him. "I'm fine" Tommy laughed. "I don't trust that, you were there for me now I need to be there for you" Ranboo said with a smile. "D-did I ever tell you how I ended up in the orphanage in the first place?" Tommy asked, Ranboo shook his head. "W-well my parents left me at a park when I was 9, my dad was an alcoholic and was abusive towards me, my mum was always at work so she never saw it" Tommy explained, tears started to enter his eyes. Ranboo looked shocked but sad at the same time. He pulled Tommy into a tight hug. "It's ok now tho, you have a loving family" he said happily. "I guess".

"We should go and get your stuff from your house" Tommy said. Ranboo hesitated before agreeing, he did need his clothes after all. They got out of bed, put on shoes and started walking. Once the house was in sight, Ranboo stopped walking. "You can stay here if you want, I'll be as quick as I can" Tommy said, completely forgetting the smell of the house. Ranboo nodded and waited around the corner.

The closer Tommy got to the house, the stronger the smell got, it was almost intoxicating. He entered the house, the memory's of the smell started to enter his mind. He put his jumper over his nose and ran upstars, looking in 2 rooms before finding Ranboos. There was barely anything in the wardrobe and his bed was wrecked. The thing that made everything worse was the smashed bottles on the floor. More memory's entered his head. He tried to block them out but it was getting to much. "I- I can't" Tommy mumbled, almost being unable to breathe, he started panicking.

It had been 15 minutes, Ranboo started to get bored. He looked around the corner and at the house. He started walking towards it as his worry for Tommy grew. *Didnt Tommy say something about his father being an alcoholic, maybe... wait a minute, oh no* Ranboo quickly clocked. He put his jumper over his nose and ran into the house, instantly running up the stairs without opening his eyes. "I- help" he heard Tommy gasp for air. He opened his eyes, grabbed Tommy and ran out the house, running around the corner and sitting them both down on the pavement. "I- I can't breathe" Tommy kept gasping.
