Tears of a Toddler

[Tommy's POV]

Tommy stared at the 3 year old in Tubbo's arms.

"What?" He asked groggily, voice still scratchy from being woken up.

"This is Michael. He is your nephew." The goat stated, wincing as the toddler pulled on his ear.

"We're not brothers he can't be my nephew Tubs what the hell?" The blonde muttered, rubbing his eyes.

The shorter boy gasped in offence, looking at the piglin hybrid.

"Do you hear this crap Michael?" He whispered.

"Crap!" The boy yelled, wide toothy grin displayed across his face.

Tommy exploded into laugher, tears of pure joy at the edges of his eyes.

"Yeah! Crap!" Tubbo cheered the toddler on.

"No, no Michael don't say that." Ranboo chastised, taking the 3 year old from the shorter boys arms.

The less mature boys only wheezed more as the enderman and goats son continued to chant the same word over and over again.

The tallest out of the three sighed, adjusting his child so he sat contently next to his parents hip.

"I'm going t go talk to Phil, he's raised 3 kids he'll know how to deal with this." They huffed, leaving the room while continuing to shush Michael to prevent him from swearing.

Wait.

Did Ranboo say 3 kids?

[Ranboo's POV]

Ranboo walked through the halls, in truth they were completely lost. The castle was large, with long twisting hallways that felt never ending. It didn't help that they had a toddler who was insistent on running around the building and causing chaos, who was now wailing over the fact he was not allowed to wreak havoc. The 3 year old squealed like a pig, kicking at the enderman's thigh in a weak attempt to do something to be released from his imprisonment. The parent's eyes filled with relief as he saw Phil walk around the corner, the king was talking to another person Boo didn't recognise. All of the persons skin was black, only features standing out amidst the shadow like creature were the giant horns that matched their skin tone, glowing white eyes and dark brown hair. A cloak that was only a little lighter then their skin had a dark red rim, the material engulfed almost all of the unknown person, they were like a shadow.

The screaming of Michael soon captured the pairs attention, eyes moving towards the 17 year old.

"Uhm- do you guys know how to- to uh stop a child from crying?" They asked hesitantly, hissing in pain as his son decided it would be a fun idea to strike his hoof into a still healing burn from water.

Ranboo couldn't help but squeeze their eyes closed and grip onto the piglin tighter as he bashed against the same injury over and over, no doubt making it worse. The enderman let out a small distorted cry in pain, yet refused to let go in case Michael caused trouble for someone else.

"Oh careful you muffinhead!" The unfamiliar person gasped, quickly taking their son and handing the wailing toddler to Phil, who seemed over all confused as to what was happening.

"Are you ok?" They asked, crouching down to look the minor in the eyes.

"Uhm, I'm ok- uh my son decided it would be funny to kick a recent injury." Ranboo stuttered, avoiding eye contact.

"Do you know while he was crying?" They asked, standing up to their full height which was an astonishing 9'6.

"Not really, I just uh took him from Tubbo and looked for Phil cause Michael was yelling crap over and over again." Boo responded, getting a little confused when the demon muttered language under their breath.

"It's probably separation anxiety, toddlers up to the age of 3 often have it." The unknown person explained, a smile that was calming yet unnerving at the same time still on their face. The enderman bit their lip slightly in embarrassment, how could they not of known about this?

"Why don't we go back to where Tubbo is yeah? That might calm him down." The demon offered, to which Boo happily nodded.

[Tommy's POV]

"It's been hours since Ranboob left, where are they?" Tommy drawled, completely ignoring Tubbo who was trying to get him to stop hanging upside down off the enderman's bed.

The goat snorted and flicked the taller boys forehead, making him crumble to the floor.

"OW Tubbo what the hell?!" The boy yelled, still slumped with his head on the ground.

"In my defence it was funny." The brunette chuckled, sitting next to the blonde who had now flipped himself the right way up.

"Yeah to you." He mumbled, only for his friend to slap him on the back of the head. 

"Tubbo! I already have a headache!" The younger complained, shutting his eyes.

"Your fault." The hybrid hummed, leaning on the avian.

"Oh my Prime get off me." Tommy joked, elbowing Tubbo in the ribs softly.
