idea :

When tommy got out of the prison, he wasn't the same person he was. Who would blame him? He spent 3 months in an endless void with schlatt, wilbur and mexican dream. Tommy was just tired of living, tried of dying, tired of everything around him fucking reminding him of dream hurting him.

Tommy hadn't left his home for the past 2 days, but decided he needed something to eat, he was planning on cutting some of the wheat in front of him house real quick to make bread, but while out there ranboo and tubbo spotted him, great.

"Tommy?!" tubbo yelled as soon as he saw tommy's body chopping down some wheat, wasn't tommy dead? Tommy flinched slightly at the loud tone, something he hadn't done before, before turning to tubbo to find ranboo with him as well. "Yea what do you need big man?" tommy tried to say enthusiastically but it came out more dully.

Now both ranboo and tubbo could tell how thin  tommy looked, the bags under his eyes, it was obvious he hadn't been sleeping or eating so what happened? "Are you ok tommy?" tubbo asked, putting his hand on tommy's shoulder. Tommy immediately freaked out and backed away, "d-don't touch me" Tommy stuttered, tommyinnit never stuttered.

Over the next few weeks, tubbo and ranboo tried their best to be there for tommy, they tried to figure out what had really happened in the prison, but quickly found out if they didn't want a panic attack from tommy they probably shouldn't do that.

Soon came a the syndicate meeting, "So anything special happening lately?" techno asked the group, not really expecting anything. Ranboo told them "So uh, guys tommy's alive." silence... "That little fucker's alive ?" phil said (i could hear phil say this whenever he was pissed off at tommy 😭) "yeaaaaaa" ranboo feeling this kinda awkward atmosphere. "Well then i think we pay a visit to tommy phil, maybe find out what he's doing." techno said, mostly because he was bored out of his mind.

Ranboo didn't think this was a good idea, not at all but how was he supposed to tell the 2 adults that had fostered him that their idea was shit? They reached tommy house for the door to already be opened, tubbo and ranboo always told tommy to have his door open, just in case something bad would happen and they could get to him as soon as possible.

Ranboo led the two down to the newly built library, it was the only place tommy could semi be ok in, always seeming to find a solution to the revival problem? whatever that meant. "Tommy's reading? you sure?" techno sarcastically asked. Ranboo said nothing and continued leading them down the stairway.

The library doors opened to see tommy reading deep in thought, he always seemed to do that these days, always blanking out. Phil walked ahead of ranboo and techno and decided to give tommy a bit of a jump scare cuz why not. (phil and techno are a bit out of character but who cares) ranboo saw what he was gonna do and tried to stop him " wait phil don-" he couldn't stop phil in time and that when disaster occurred.

Tommy's shoulders raised, and scrambled out of the chair quickly backing up to a bookshelf, curling himself into a ball. "That's a bit of an exaggeration don't you think tommy?" techno said. Ranboo started mumbling curses under his breath and walked towards tommy, whispering into his ear comporting words trying to calm his friend down.

What was going on, tommy was clearly having a panic attack, yet phil could tell this wasn't the first time as ranboo seemed to immediately know what was happening and how to help tommy. Soon after, tommy didn't even look up and weakly mumbled "What are you guys doing here?"

"What happened to you tommy?" phil asked. "ignoring my questions as per usual huh?" tommy whispered so quietly only ranboo could hear him. "What was that?" this time it was techno who spoke up. Tommy grit his twenty and looked up to his family still with tears slowly running down his face "Since when did you care?"

Phil spoke in a soft voice, "Tommy we're your family, we've always cared." "Didn't seem that way when you mercilessly blew up my home, killing both mr and my best friend non-canonically." "That was different tommy, besides it wasn't canonic anyways-" techno said, not seeing the logic behind tommy's statement.

"Well it still fucking hurt ok?!" tommy yelled out, "now get out of my house." tommy said it a more quiet voice. Techno and phil were about to retort until ranboo interrupted "I think you two should go." his tone with finality and phil was sure he could see a bit of purple in ranboo's eyes.

The two left without another word, leaving tommy and ranboo alone. One things for sure, they would never forget this, ever.
