"I'm Proud Of You" | Wilbur Soot angst

Chapter 5

Techno had his arms crossed, and raised a brow.

"So?"

"I-uh-I was, uhh, out w-with some friends, yeah" It technically wasn't a lie.

"Uh-huh. And what made you think it would be a good idea to be out this late?"

"Why're-why're you acting like you're my dad. 'Cause you're not."

"Because I didn't want you to get into trouble with dad."

"I-what? Why?"

"Because you are already going through enough"

And with that, Wilbur's brother left the room.

Techno didn't actually know what Wilbur was going through, but he knew it was something.

Wilbur watched his brother close the door, and as soon as it was closed, he just hauled himself onto the bed, and fell asleep within seconds. Something he hadn't been able to do in weeks.

Wilbur woke up at 3 am. He had come home at 10 pm, so he got 5 h of sleep. He was surprised to say the least about how much sleep he got. But he thought he'd spend the remaining 3-4 h of the night studying for the maths exam on Wednesday.

It was 5 am. Wilbur heard someone knocking on his door. He said:

"Come in" without looking up from the questions.

"Hey Will." It was Tommy.

"Hey Tommy, do you need something?" he said, still not looking up from his paper.

"I need my big brother"

This made Wilbur look up and turn around. There stood his younger brother, tear-stained cheeks and a scared look on his face.

"Tommy what happened?" Wilbur ran up to Tommy hugging him.

"Nightmare" Tommy whispered into his brother's shoulder.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No, I just want my Wilby" Wilbur's heart practically melted at this.

"Ok then Toms, come on" Wilbur led Tommy to his bed, and the pair sat there, Wilbur playing with Tommy's hair, Tommy slowly but steadily falling asleep.

"Why were you by your desk?" Tommy mumbled.

"Don't worry about it, Toms. It was just something I had to do."

"Ok if you say so...." Tommy's breaths became slow and steady, which proved to Wilbur that his little brother was asleep. Wilbur let out a breath. He loved his brother, more than anything in the world. He would do anything to protect him. Anything.

Surprise, surprise, Wilbur did not fall asleep. At 7 am, Wilbur had no choice but to wake his little brother up.

"Tommy....Time to wake up..." Tommy just groaned.

"Fuck off..." he mumbled.

"Jump in the cadillac..."

"OI!"

Tommy was now up and running, running after Wilbur.

"I'LL MAKE YOU EAT THOSE WORDS, DICKHEAD!!!"
