I Swear To Protect You (Tommy and Wilbur) (3/3)

Tommy POV

I sighed, running my fingers through my sweaty hair. Why was this place so empty? It was just so dull. I couldn't help but long for the outside air. At least there was sunlight out there. 

Wilbur wouldn't mind if I just peeked outside... right? It would just be quick. Besides, I was perfectly safe.

Quickly making up my mind, I stood up from the creaky bed, moving towards the entrance to the ravine. I tiptoed up the stairs, making sure not to make any sound. Wilbur was out mining, but I knew he was close by. He never trusted me by myself.

Taking a deep breath, I mined out the cobblestone, slipping into the outside world. As soon as the sunlight reached my face I smiled brightly. It was just such a wonderful feeling, especially after spending so much time underground.

The moment was short-lived as a figure began racing towards me.

"Tommy!" 

I squinted, my eyes widening as I realized it was Wilbur. Oh god, I was in so much trouble. I could just sense it even without him saying a word. 

I froze as he raced to me, immediately pulling me into his arms. "What are you doing out here Toms?"

"I-I-" I began to tremble, terrified of what he might do. Last time he trapped me in a piston for an entire night, the time before he made me skip meals. What worse could he do? That was answer I hoped I would never get.

"Use your words." he said gently, almost too gently.

"I just wanted to feel the sunlight." I whispered, hiding my face in his chest almost like it would hide me from him. "I'm sorry."

Wilbur sighed, beginning to thread his fingers through my knotted hair. Usually it felt nice, but this time was different. I could tell he was mad.

"You know what I'm going to have to do Toms..." his voice trailed off into a sickening silence.

I nodded slowly, gripping his sweater in my fists. What would it be this time? I could only guess.

Wilbur grabbed my arm tightly, practically dragging me towards the ravine. "Come on Tommy, it's better if you don't fight it."

I struggled against his hold for a moment longer before finally allowing myself to be dragged. I had done this before and I never wanted to relive the wrath of insane Wilbur.

He pulled me down the stairs and towards a dark room. As soon as I realized what was going to happen I began struggling again. "Wilbur no! Please no! I-I can't-"

"Shut up!" the brunette hissed, pulling harder.

I couldn't escape his tight grip, he was just too strong. I pulled harder and harder, only resulting in his firm grip tightening. I could practically already feel the bruise forming.

He shoved me into the room before shutting and locking the door. Immediately I began hyperventilating. The room was small-too small. I can't breathe! The walls were closing in around me... I was going to die!

"WILBY PLEASE!" I screamed, throwing myself against the door in hopes that by some miracle it would give way. 

I didn't want to die. I was too young. 

My knees gave way, sending me to the floor. I curled in on myself as my breathing became faster and faster. The walls continued to close in, making it even harder to breathe. The room began to spin, forcing me to close my eyes. I could feel myself slipping away...

Suddenly I was pulled into someone's arms. It was warm... and safe. Something I had longed for for ages. My body seemed to relax ever so slightly at the new touch. Suddenly I could breathe... I wasn't dying?

"Tommy- Tommy, can you hear me?"

My eyelids felt like weights as I tried to force them open, only resulting in fluttering my eyelids.

"You're safe Tommy, okay? I'm here now." the voice whispered.

That's when I realized who it was.

"T-Techno?"

"Yeah, I'm here Toms. It's me."

Slowly I blinked open my eyes, attempting to ignore how difficult it was just to do that. Sure enough, there he was. Holding me safe in his arms, like I was a little kid again.

Techno gently picked me up, bringing me closer to his chest. I couldn't help but lean into the touch.

"Wh-what are you doing here?" I stammered, looking up into his eyes in wonder.

He chuckled, "Well you did call me, didn't you? I mean, what was I going to do? Not save my little brother?"

I rolled my eyes, smiling slightly. "I didn't think you would come."

Techno looked sadly at me. "I'm so sorry I couldn't get here sooner. I promise I would have stopped all of this much sooner... it might never have happened." He looked to be on the edge of tears, which was strange for Techno. Since when did he show emotion?

I nuzzled into his chest, breathing in his familiar scent. "Thank you," I whispered.

"Of course Toms." he murmured, pressing a kiss to my forehead.

He carried me out of the ravine, passed a passed out Wilbur. At the sight of him, I immediately hid in Techno's arms, trying to become smaller.

Sensing my fear, he was quick to reassure me. "Don't worry Toms, I'll keep you safe."

I froze at his words. Wilbur said the same thing... 

"What's wrong?" Techno asked, genuinely concerned.

"He-he said the same thing... but he hurt me... what if-"

"I won't Toms, I promise." Techno promised. "I would never hurt my baby brother, alright? Besides, you can leave whenever you want or... you can stay forever. It's completely up to you."

I studied his face, looking for some hint that he was lying, but he actually seemed genuine. Maybe he would be better than Wilbur. I could only hope.

Techno placed me on his horse, mounting behind me. He urged Carl forward and we took off at a gallop.

"Where are we going?" I questioned, confused.

"Home."
