A Better Life (SBI) (2/3)

Tommy POV

Tommy pushed himself the wall as the two boys began walking towards them. What did they want with him? 

The one wearing a yellow sweater, stopped the other. "We're scaring him."

The pinkette stopped, staring at the other. "What should we do with him?"

Tommy finally scrambled to his feet, immediately looking for an escape. He couldn't get hurt again. He was about to run when he felt someone grab his arm. 

"Let me go!" he shouted, squirming as he tried to get out of the strong grip.

"Hey calm down kid." the pinkette said, tightening his grip. 

Tommy's eyes began to fill with tears when he realized he couldn't escape. The grip was just too strong. "Please don't turn me in!" Tommy began to sob when he thought about what they were going to do to him.

The pinkette froze, looking down at the kid with sympathy in his eyes. "Hey, we're not going to turn you in kid."

Tommy continued to cry, knowing he couldn't trust them. He couldn't trust anyone on the streets. Much to his surprise he felt himself being pulled into unfamiliar arms. The brunette hummed softly, trying to calm down the distraught child.

"You're alright kid, I've got you."

Tommy felt himself calming down without fully understanding why. Why did he suddenly feel safe? He didn't know these people. Who's not to say they weren't going to hurt him once he started to trust them?

Tommy didn't even notice the pinkette step away, his phone to his ear.

"I can't trust you. I don't even know you." Tommy muttered, as if to remind himself.

The brunette met his eyes, gently wiping away his tears. "Why don't we get to know each other better then?"

Tommy bit his lip, not sure if he really wanted these people to know anything about him. What if they used it against him? It wouldn't be the first time...

"I'm Wilbur." the brunette smiled. "And that's my brother Techno." he said, pointing towards the other boy. "What's your name?"

Tommy shook his head, not comfortable with telling them anything. He closed his eyes, ready to be hurt for refusing something the boy so politely asked.

"Hey, that's okay." Wilbur reassured, wiping away the forming tears. He thought for a moment. "Want to know something?"

Tommy looked at him skeptically before slowing nodding.

"I play guitar, isn't that cool? And my favorite color is teal. I bet you thought it was yellow, right?" he chuckled, nodding to his sweater. "Most people do, but they're wrong. I mean yellow is a cool color, just not as cool as teal." 

Tommy, feeling a bit more comfortable, look into the boy's warm eyes. Maybe he really did mean well. "I like red." he whispered.

"Red is cool!" Wilbur exclaimed, glancing towards Techno, who gave him a thumbs up. "It's such a bold color and it looks so pretty in nature." He called towards the pinkette. "What about you Tech? What's your favorite color?"

"I think it's pretty obvious it's pink."

Wilbur laughed, "Hey, it could change." Slowly the boy got to his feet before holding out his hand to Tommy. "How about you come with us? We live with our Dad who is more than happy to have you stay with us for a while."

Techno laughed at the last sentence, muttering something under his breath.

Tommy hesitantly grabbed his hand, allowing the boy to bring him to his feet. "I-I don't know." he stammered, still not completely trusting the boys.

"At least let us clean you up a bit after your run in with those boys." Techno offered, his eyes seeming to grow angry at the thought of someone hurting the boy.

Tommy sighed, "Okay."

And he followed the boys, not even realizing he was walking into his new family.
