Tommy POV

"What were you thinking?" Phil demanded, glaring at the boy on the couch. "We've been here for less than two hours and you're already getting into fights?" His black wings perked up a bit, making him seem a lot bigger than he actually was.

Tommy shrunk back a bit, fidgeting with his fingers. "I didn't do anything wrong."

"Punching some kid for no reason isn't right Tommy." Phil stated, sighing.

"Well that kid bullied Ranboo! Do you really think I was just going to let him speak to him like that?" the blonde erupted, his anger beginning to boil once more.

Phil studied him for a moment, trying to tell if he was lying or not. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he nodded. "I believe you." Tommy looked at him wide eyes. "But that doesn't change the fact that you punched a kid. So you're grounded for the rest of today and tomorrow."

"What?! I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Tommy you punched someone." Phil explained calmly. "You can't do that."

"But he insulted Ranboo! He shouldn't be able to do that either and he did!" the teen retorted, crossing his arms.

"I agree." Phil took a deep breath. "But nothing makes violence right... even if the jerk deserved it. It's just two days Tommy, and you can spend all your time with Ranboo and Tubbo. They're living here for crying out loud!"

Tommy huffed, glaring at the ground. He stood up, stomping his way to his room. 

In what world was this fair?

Whimpering is what woke Tommy up that night. He sat up, squinting to the other side of the room. Ranboo was tossing and turning, crying in his sleep.

"Is he okay?" a whisper came from across the room. Tubbo was also sitting up, looking over in concern.

"I don't know." Tommy murmured, slipping out of bed. He moved to Ranboo side, his heart breaking at the sound of the boy's cries.

"Leave me alone! Please!" Ranboo sobbed, tears falling beneath his cheeks.

Tommy gently shook the boy, hoping to save him from his memories. Ranboo shrieked before bursting into more tears. 

"Ranboo! Wake up!" Tubbo raced to his side as well, hoping to help.

The boys panicked, shaking him more. Thankfully, this time he shot up looking around as he panted. Tears fell down his face, he was quick to hide them behind his hands.

Tommy and Tubbo exchanged looks, both very concerned. 

"Are you okay Ranboo?" Tubbo asked softly, moving to sit beside him.

"Why can't I forget?" Ranboo sighed, shedding more tears if that was even possible. Tubbo wrapped his arms around the taller, hoping to provide any possible comfort. The boy sobbed into his chest, clinging to the boy.

Tommy glared at the floor, biting his lip.

He was going to kill those bullies.
