Mirror Mirror on the Wall, Who is the Fairest of Them All? (Tommyinnit Au)

Chapter 15- A Wish Can Become Reality

Tommy POV

Tommy yawned, slowly opening his eyes upon feeling a hand gently run through his hair. He looked up, grinning upon seeing Wilbur smiling down at him.

"You sleep alright?" he asked quietly, continuing to thread his fingers through his blonde locks.

"Yeah, it's definitely easier sleeping in here." the boy admitted, leaning into the touch.

Wilbur chuckled, "You can sleep in here whenever you want."

Tommy's eyes widened, "I-I don't want to intrude or anything-"

"Tommy, it's okay." he reassured the blonde. "I don't mind the company. I don't mind sharing a room." 

"Are you sure?" the boy questioned, searching for some hint of dishonesty. 

"Of course Toms." 

Tommy smiled at that, knowing he really wasn't lying. Without even thinking about it, he threw his arms around the older boy. Wilbur stiffened in surprise before returning the hug. "Thank you."

"Anytime little brother." Tommy gasped, looking up at him. Wilbur bit his lip, "Do you not like me calling you that? I'm sorry I-"

"No, I love when you call me that." Tommy told him, grinning from ear to ear. "I just didn't see myself as part of the family I guess... I was surprised, that's all."

Wilbur hugged him tighter, "You're part of the family Toms." 

They sat there, in each other's arms, for a few minutes before Tommy pointed towards the guitar. "D-does your offer still stand?" he questioned, playing with his hands nervously.

Wilbur laughed, "Yes, the offer still stands." He released the blonde from his grip, grabbing his guitar and bringing it into his lap. He strummed it a few times, amused by the amazement it brought Tommy.

He offered the instrument for Tommy, who took hold of it gingerly. Wilbur sat beside him, guiding where his hands were meant to go. He began showing the blonde chords, always encouraging Tommy whenever he made a mistake. He didn't want him to get frustrated with himself. After all, learning an instrument was difficult. It wasn't going to happen in one day.

A soft knock came from the door, making them both snap towards the sound. Techno appeared, immediately causing Tommy to shrink a little. He hadn't forgotten what he had done.

"Breakfast is ready nerds." was all he said before leaving again.

Wilbur glanced towards Tommy, confused as to why he was so uncomfortable with Techno. "What did Techno do?"

"What-nothing... he didn't do anything." Tommy shook his head, looking at his feet. 

"Then why are you so scared of him? You weren't before." the brunette pointed out.

Tommy closed his eyes, allowing his fears to escape. "He's going to convince Phil to kick me out... it's only a matter of time."

"I won't let him." 

Tommy stared at him. "You won't?"

"Of course not." Wilbur smiled, "If he wants to get rid of you, he's going to have to rid of me too."

"But-"

"What did you do anyway?" 

Tommy sighed, "I followed him... by sneaking out after he told me not to."

Wilbur burst out laughing, "That's why you're afraid of him?" He shook his head. "Toms, you're going to have to do more than that to get kicked out."

"How can you be so sure?" 

"Because if Techno wanted you gone, you would never been allowed to stay."

Techno POV

Techno sighed, closing the door and moving to the living room. He sat down, immediately allowing his head to fall into his hands. Why was Tommy so afraid of him all of the sudden? That was the last thing he wanted.

"What's the matter Tech?" Phil questioned, coming in from the kitchen.

Techno shook his head, turning away from his father.

Phil grabbed his hand, "It weighs less if you tell me." Techno turned back, still looking unsure. "Come on Techno, you know I'm right."

Techno sighed, knowing his father was only trying to help. Besides, he technically was right, even if he didn't want to admit it. "Tommy is scared of me."

"How can you be so sure?"

"As soon as I walked into the room he looked terrified! How can I not be sure?" Techno groaned. "I don't even know what I did!"

Phil rubbed his son's back gently. "Maybe he's just afraid of getting in trouble after his little adventure that he wasn't supposed to go on?" he offered.

Techno rolled his eyes, "It can't be something as simple as that! He's not really in trouble. All I was going to do was lecture him a little. Nothing crazy."

"Well think about it. He's been stuck with Ivory for years. Who know how hard she was on the kid? We know how bad she was to her subjects, but we have no idea how hard she was on Tommy." Phil explained. 

Techno hummed, a little terrified by what that could mean. Who knows what the poor kid had been through.

Phil thought for a moment, glancing at Techno briefly. "If you want to get closer to him, all you have to do is talk to him."

Techno shook his head. "He's already chosen Wilbur."

"You think he can only have one big brother?" Phil chuckled. "Because last time I checked, he has two."

Techno knew he was right. But was it really that simple? Could Tommy be close to two brothers? Or did he even want to be?

What if he only wanted Wilbur?

------------------------

Ivory POV

"You didn't kill him?!" Ivory screamed, enraged by the thought. She groaned, "Why must everyone I hire be idiots?!" She glanced back at the man in front of her, who was clearly shaking in fear of being punished. "Stand up." she demanded.

The man slowly got to his feet.

"Do you not know how to do your job?" she questioned, stalking towards him.

"I-I do-"

"Clearly you don't." Ivory shook her head. "I asked for that worthless brat's heart and you bring me back nothing. Do you see my dilemma here?"

"Yes Y-Your Majesty." he stammered.

She gasped, "Would you like me to show you how to do your job?" Her hand tightened around the handle of her blade.

"I-I-"

"Of course you do. After all, you want to learn, don't you? For your next mission." She walked to him, a sickening smile on her lips. Before the man could even move, she threw her knife, planting it straight into his chest.

He groaned in pain, sinking to the floor.

"Perhaps you'll take notes for the next person."
