Braided Troubles (Tommy)

Tommy POV

Tommy stumbled through the snow, trying to cling to what little warmth his body still had. He squinted, praying to see Techno's house in the distance. It had to be close, it just had to be. He wasn't sure how much further he could go before collapsing.

A question echoed in his mind, almost making him turn around. Would Techno accept him after everything that had happened? They were of course brothers, but that didn't necessarily prevent Techno from turning him away.

He sighed, trying to clear his thoughts away. It never really seemed to work, the thoughts always remained, trapped in the back of his mind just waiting for the opportunity to advance.

The snow began to fall even quicker, becoming thicker by each passing moment. Would he even make it? He could barely see in front of him, much less in the distance. His footsteps became slower and slower until he was making little to no progress.

His knees finally buckled, sending him to the snowy ground. He laid there, not having the strength to get up. The sound of hooves came towards him. He tried so hard to keep his eyes open, but it was nearly impossible.

After moments of fighting sleep, he finally let go. Allowing himself to fall into the darkness.

Techno POV

Techno sighed, pushing his long pink hair behind his shoulder for what felt like the hundredth time. It just wouldn't stay, constantly getting up in his face while he rode. He had never really learned how to braid and he refused to allow anyone to touch his hair, so usually he just accepted it.

Carl galloped on, wanting nothing more than the safety and warmth of the barn. Something caught Techno's eye, making him pause to study it. It was clothing of some sort, maybe a shirt?

He pulled back on the reins, forcing Carl to come to stop beside the object. In one swift motion he jumped off the horse, landing in the freshly fallen snow. He knelt beside the cloth and his eyes widened as he realized what it was.

Tommy.

Without a moment of hesitation, he scooped up the boy in his arms. He had never seen Tommy looking so limp, so dead. Techno wrapped his cloak tightly around the shivering boy, trying to stay calm at the sight of him. His skin was nearly white while his lips were an icy blue.

Techno carefully placed him on the saddle before jumping on himself. He made sure to hold onto Tommy as he urged Carl forward. The horse must have known how urgent it was because he seemed to run even faster than normal.

"Hang on Tommy, hang on." Techno muttered under his breath, silently begging Carl to gallop faster.

His house finally came into view, giving Techno a wave of relief. As soon as Carl came to a stop, Techno jumped off and immediately picked up Tommy before running into the house.

"PHIL!" he shouted, hoping his father was close. He would know what to do.

Quickly he laid Tommy on the couch, kneeling down to check his pulse. It was faint, but it was there.

Footsteps rushed towards him and Phil raced in. "What is it?! What's wrong?!" he demanded, terrified to say the least.

"It's Tommy!" Techno nodded to the boy on the couch. Phil's eyes widened and he raced to his youngest's side. "I found him in the snow. Phil... he looked so- I thought he was dead."

Phil looked like he was close to crying, but he was holding it in. He turned to Techno, "You need to run a warm bath as fast as you can. We need to get his body temperature up." He wrapped another blanket around the boy after pulling off his wet clothes.

Techno nodded, instantly getting to work.

Tommy POV

Tommy slowly opened his eyes, surprised by the warmth that surrounded him. He squinted, trying to get used to the overwhelming light. He was in a house? His eyes widened when he realized who was sitting next to him.

Techno.

The man smiled at him, "Hey Toms."

Tommy tried to smile back, but he couldn't quite manage it. He should be happy... but after everything he just felt... numb. "Hello." He watched Techno's expression change. But he couldn't understand it... what was wrong with him?

He could feel his heart begin to pick up as breathing became increasingly difficult. His hands began to tremble, needing something to grasp. Naturally they began to tug at his hair, beginning to rip out the roots. What was happening?

Hands suddenly grabbed his firmly, preventing him from hurting himself further. 

"-mmy, look at me. Hey, you're okay. I'm here now." Tommy slowly looked up, trying to meet his eyes. 

"You saved me?"

"Of course." Techno nodded, still gripping his hands. It was unsettling having his hands contained. They needed something to do, something to calm them down.

"Why didn't you save me from him?" Tommy pulled his hands back, out of Techno's grip.

"Who?" Techno was growing more and more concerned with every word that came out of his brother's mouth.

"Never mind." Tommy shook his head, trying to make his hands stop shaking.

Techno gasped, "Dream did this... he... that little-"

"Can I braid your hair?" Tommy said suddenly.

Techno's eyes softened at his little brother's request. "Sure." 

Tommy smiled, but it never quite met his eyes. He smiled, because that's what he knew he should do. 

Techno handed him a brush and a few hair ties before sitting in front of him. Tommy got to work, separating it into three parts before braiding it. Techno could hardly believe how gently he worked. He never tugged, always seemingly aware of how hard not to pull.

When he was finished, Tommy leaned back, satisfied with his work. It was a loose braid that went far beneath Techno's shoulder.

Techno admired it, loving how it kept his hair in check. 

"Thank you."

Techno looked at him, shocked by his words. Since when did Tommy ever apologize? He looked down, offering, "You can always braid my hair Tommy." Tommy's eyes slightly lit up. "Whenever you want."

And he did.

Nearly every night, Techno found himself sitting in front of Tommy as he braided his hair. It calmed him somehow. Maybe it was because of how silky it was or maybe it was because it was his brother's. It didn't really mattered to Tommy, just the feeling of it.

Often he would weave flowers into it. At first Techno complained, before he quickly grew fond of it.

It being his little brother.
