Where Are Your Parents? | SBI FD

Too Soon

The weekend had approached quickly, and Phil was working at the bookstore with Techno. Which unfortunately left the two youngest's home alone. A terrible decision really. After the elders had left Tommy had put his plan into action. He started with making Wilbur some breakfast and preparing some medication. The brunette ventured from the shared room in a bit swaying occasionally on his feet. Tommy winced each time he did so but was too scared to move.

Wilbur had soon arrived at the benchtop and with a sigh slid to the floor. He was clearly unwell, a blind person could see that. Tommy crouched next to his older brother who was nearing a state of unconsciousness. The brunette chuckled which led to Tommy joining the laughter nervously.

"Help me up child," Tommy pouted but helped his older brother up.

"I am no child," Wilbur smirked in response.

"That's exactly what a child would say," Wilbur muttered going to make food.

"OI!" Tommy protested. "I already made some!"

"Aww," the brunette scoffed and ruffled his little brothers hair. "The child, caring for his sick older brother." Tommy only grew angrier.

"I didn't hafta do jack shit for you," Tommy crossed his arms. "But I figured supposed older brother wanted to go outside today, but that doesn't matter." Wilbur let out a strangled noise as he inhaled water like a fish. Tommy cackled as Wilbur coughed constantly before chuckling softly.

"Bitch-" Wilbur wheezed, and Tommy laughed. The two were quick to finish their food and get ready to go out. The meds had started kicking in and Wilbur dawned a bright smile at the opportunity of leaving the little house. Both boys had dressed in warm clothes and were quickly out of the house.

"So I was thinking," Tommy started as they walked trying to avoid the eyesight of both elders. "We could go into the forest this morning and around about midday we could go to my friends house?" Wilbur stopped seemingly thinking about the plan. He didn't quite feel like making friends, but he assumed he wouldn't have to talk to anyone he just had to go with his brother. The brunette nodded and the day was put into play. They arrived at the forest after a while of walking. They didn't feel quite inclined to venture towards their old home due to sadness lurking behind their calm demeanour.

"What are we gonna do?" Wilbur pondered.

"Well... uh..." Tommy looked around nervously. "I just wanted to see how you... uh... hunted?" Wilbur looked at his little brother astonished. The brunette took a few moments to process his words before looking dumbfounded at the younger.

"Why?" he questioned.

"Oh... uh..." Tommy shrugged. "I've always wanted to learn..." Wilbur nodded slowly.

"So you want to learn..." Wilbur processed slowly. "I mean... I guess your old enough." Tommy smiled in delight. He had always wanted to learn what his brother did. "Lets find a rabbit hole shall we." Tommy strode confidently beside his brother as they traversed further into the snow coated forest. Soon they arrived at a little mound in the ground and Wilbur glanced to Tommy then back to it.

The blonde seemed to ripen at the idea of learning the 'big man ways' he called it. The brunette gently squatted and stuck his hand into the mound. Not safe, don't try at home. In a matter of seconds he was pulling something out. A rabbit. It was a brown one too. Wilbur was very quick to have a good grip on it. Tommy watched in awe.

"Can I?" the blonde murmured, and Wilbur smiled.

"Here have a tight hold on it okay," Tommy nodded furiously receiving the very still rabbit. "Now, for the worst part." Wilbur seemingly shivered. "You grab its head firmly in your hand, and then you twist, make it quick for 'em." Tommy nodded solemnly. The blonde did as his older brother said. As he twisted a soft snap could be heard.
