TW: instrusive thoughts / underage smoking

Wilbur sat with Quackity, with a cigarette in his hand.

"-yeah and then Sap kissed Karl! Right in front of me!" Quackity complained.

"Didn't you kiss Karl before him to see if you were both okay with it?"

"Yeah."

"So?"

"So what?"

"I- nevermind."

They just sat there vibing, Quackity throwing out some Spanish curses once in a while, while Wilbur just tried to process what would happen in a couple of hours. They would meet the head teacher at 9 am, and it was now 12 am. He wondered if Techno noticed he was gone. If Phil noticed. Maybe Tommy noticed. No, wait, why would they notice?

Exactly.

Why would they notice?

You're just a waste of space.

A problem.

A burden.

A bother.

You're like a fly;

Worthless and irritating.

No one loves you.

"-ILBUR!!!"

Wilbur jumped.

"Huh?"

"You okay, man?

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just.... zoned out, I guess."

"K, good."

They had been hanging around for about an hour before Wilburs phone started ringing. He looked at the screen to see that it was Techno who called him.

"Fuck, I'm in trouble."

"What?" Minx leaned over to look at Wilbur's phone. "Who's Techno?"

"That's my brother." he sighed. "I gotta take this, cya."

Wilbur went out of the warehouse and clicked the green button on his phone.

"Uh, hi Tech."

"Wilbur, where are you?"

"I- um- "

"Wilbur."

"I- I just needed to clear my head. Yeah. Since the, um, y'know, the meeting tomorrow." It wasn't a full lie. It had helped with his anxiety towards the meeting.

"I think we both know that that's not true."

"It is!"

"Well I want you to come home. Now."

"Okay, but it will take about an hour for me to walk home." That wasn't true, he just didn't want to smell of cigarette smoke.

"I'll come pick you up then, where are you?"

"N-no It's fine. I can walk."

"No, Will, I'll pick you up. Where are you?"

"No, Tech, seriously it's fine."

"No, I'll pick you up where are you?"

"I'll begin walking now, bye." He hung up, and put his phone on flight mode. Wilbur started going back towards the warehouse.

"Hey, I've got to go. Bye!"

"Bye Wilbur!"

"Yeah yeah, bye pussy."

"See ya!"

It was 1 am, and Wilbur was home. He spotted his brother through the window, and his brother spotted him. Techno went and opened the door.

"Wilbur."

"Hey Tech.." Wilbur sighed.

"Inside."

"Yeah yeah."

They went inside, and Wilbur sat down on the sofa.

"You gonna tell me where you were, or....?" Techno questioned.

"I told you. I went on a walk to get some fresh air."

"Yeah, sure. Like I'm gonna believe that."

"Just leave it be, okay? You're not my dad."

Techno raised an eyebrow.

"Do you want me to go get dad?"

"No! No... I...um don't.." Wilbur looked down.

"Then, are you gonna tell me where you were?"

Wilbur sighed.

"I was just out with some friends."

"Wait, Niki, Eret and Jack?"

"No...some other friends..."

"What other friends?"

"Just some friends, it's no big deal."

"If you were out 'til 1 am, I think it is a big deal."

"No, Techno, it's not. Can I just go to my room?"

"If you promise to sleep." Wilbur bit his lip. He hadn't planned on sleeping. He had planned on reading the history book.

"Wilbur."

Wilbur sighed.

"I- I can try I guess." Wilbur thought for a while, then asked, "C-can you, y'know, stay with me?" Techno's gaze softened. "Yeah. Yeah I can."

Wilbur got a good enough sleep that night. He wasn't even tired the next day.
