Assumption's and Falsehoods

Chapter 7: Technosoft

Technoblade waited on the couch for Tommy to arrive, reviewing footage on some security cameras of Boo's last patrol. He took notes on where he was struck, hoping to catch Tommy in pain in those areas. Now that Wilbur was on his side, he had another pair of eyes on the young vigilante.

Phil however, was not so sold. While blissfully unaware of Tommy's paperwork, or even the fact that he was underage, Phil knew there were plenty of reasons why someone may be bruised. Hell, he thought that what Wilbur and Techno were doing was pretty invasive, Tommy was just some guy.

He enjoyed Tommy's company, sorting files with him made things a bit less miserable, and his childish humor made the house less empty, but he was just an employee. An employee that Phil was attached to? Sure. But an employee nonetheless.

The elevator dinged and Phil walked to the door to greet Tommy, it was better he got to him first. Before Wilbur and Techno could do their weird scouting shit.

"Good morning Mr. Philza Minecraft, Creator of Minecraft. I brought you a coffee, Not any for Wil or Technoblade though."

Tommy was in his normal attire, but he had a spot on his face that was covered by poorly blended makeup. Phil didn't comment, if it was something bad he didn't want to make Tommy uncomfortable.

"Thanks mate." He took the coffee and took a sip, he would need the caffeine. He and Tommy were going to have a long day of having to talk to management. Phil was miserable just thinking about it.

"So what's on the list for today? Unless I get to do nothing." Tommy paused. " Can I just do nothing?"

"What? No, I don't pay you to do nothing Tommy. We're going to be talking with Puffy and Awesam about some hero stuff. You don't have to say much unless you want to add something."

Tommy was kind of thankful for the outing, he really did not want to face Techno and Wil after what had happened. It seemed like Phil didn't know, Tommy thanked Wilbur internally for that.

Phil walked over to the kitchen, Tommy trailing not far behind, to get breakfast. He wasn't so keen on talking about the complications that came with hero work on an empty stomach. He got out some 'Just Add Water' pancake mix, if he was going to make something he might as well cook for everyone. 

"So how've you been mate?" Phil filled a measuring cup with water, walking back to the bowl to add it to the mix.

"Oh, I've been good, just a bit uh-" Tommy paused to think of an inconspicuous way of phrasing his past couple of nights. "Busy. With all the women I date, you know?"

Phil laughed a bit at that, "Women, huh?"

"Yes. I date many women, all of them actually."

Phil poured some of the mix onto a pan, "That's news to me, considering that I wasn't aware Kristen was with anyone else."

"Who's that?"

"My wife?" Tommy seemed to short circuit at that, unable to comprehend that Philza Minecraft, Creator of Minecraft, had a WIFE. Phil waited for a moment of Tommy's stunned silence before continuing.
