Tommy POV
Tommy had always been loud and bold. He had never cared much for what anyone thought. Everything he did, he did because he loved. He never thought about what people thought of him and he never really worried about anything.
Over the years that began to change. As he became bigger and bigger online, he was finally exposed to the harsh comments. He had never really cared before. But the more and more he read them, the more he worried.
Do you ever stop talking? You're voice is so annoying lol!
You're literally not even funny! You don't deserve all the views you've been getting!
I bet Wilbur and Techno are embarrassed to have you as a brother!
Tommy held back tears as he read more and more comments. They couldn't be true... could they? Techno and Wilbur loved him...
"Tommy! Dinner!" a shout came from downstairs.
"Coming!" Tommy yelled back, reluctantly turning off his computer. He sighed, trying to clear his head of worry. But he couldn't. It seemed like everything he did, the thoughts still rang in his ears. Were Wilbur and Techno actually embarrassed to have him as a brother?
He was so caught up in his thoughts that he ran directly into Wilbur, who was entering the kitchen.
Looking up, his eyes widened. "S-Sorry Wil." he quickly apologized, pushing past him.
Wilbur raised an eyebrow, the alarm bells immediately going off in his head. Since when did Tommy apologize?
Grabbing a glass of water, Tommy quickly gulped it down before sitting at the dinner table. The rest of the family joined him, sitting in their normal seats.
Phil smiled at his sons, beginning the conversation. "So who's ready for MCC tomorrow?"
Techno nodded, "It'll be another win for us, for sure."
Wilbur glanced at Tommy, a smirk appearing on his face. "I can't believe we got stuck with Tommy again." he whined, prepared for Tommy's retort.
Tommy shrunk more on himself, biting his lip. "Why can't I team with you guys?" he murmured, his voice barely loud enough to hear.
"You're just so loud!" the brunette groaned, digging into his food. "I'd much rather be with anyone else."
Techno raised an eyebrow, watching Tommy with concerned eyes. "Tommy, are you okay?"
"Besides you only do it for the views obviously! Anyone will watch anything that says Sleepy Boys Inc. You're lucky you're a member." Wilbur laughed, poking fun at the younger.
Tommy gulped, staring at his plate. The words continued to rush into his head. They don't like you. You're just embarrassing to them! Tommy took a deep breath, trying to keep his tears in. They would just make fun of him crying for sure.
Wilbur glanced at him, suddenly aware that Tommy wasn't laughing or being defensive like he usually would. "Tommy?"
"Can I be excused Phil?" Tommy whispered, looking glassy eyed at the man.
Phil nodded, "Are you okay Tommy?"
Tommy didn't reply, pushing out his chair and leaving the room, leaving his food untouched. He bolted to his room, trying so hard to bottle his emotions in. Closing the door behind him, he sat on his bed in defeat. They were right, weren't they?
Tears finally fell down his cheeks as the words truly dawned on him. They don't want him on the team. They don't actually like him.
The thoughts were so loud that he didn't hear the knock at the door. The door answered with a creak, swinging open to reveal his family.
They could barely comprehend what they were seeing. How could the boy who was so cheerful all the time be sobbing? What had happened?
Wilbur was the first to move, wrapping his arms around the boy. Tommy stiffened before pushing him away, tears in his eyes. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" he cried, not missing the hurt evident on Wilbur's face. He didn't want the comfort from someone who hated him. He didn't want the pity.
"Tommy, what's wrong?" Phil stepped forward, his heart breaking at the sight of his son.
Tommy covered his ears, shaking his head. They would just confirm his worst fears.
"Tommy." Techno spoke gently, his eyes glued to his little brother. Seeing him like this was killing him.
The blonde in question looked at him with tear stained cheeks.
"Please tell us what's wrong. We can help. We love you so-"
"Don't lie to me!" Tommy sobbed, knowing better than to believe his older brother. "I know you're embarrassed to have me as a brother!"
The three of them stiffened in surprise. Who told him that?
Wilbur looked at the boy, crying a few tears of his own. "What are you talking about? Tommy, I was only joking."
Tommy looked at him, a small sliver of hope shining in his eyes. "You were?"
"Of course he was Toms. We're so happy to have you on the team." Techno offered a small smile, sitting on the bed beside Tommy, cautiously.
"Yeah mate, who told you differently?" Phil asked, ready to commit murder.
Tommy stared at his hands, unsure how to tell him. Heat filled his cheeks as embarrassment crept into his chest. "Just some people..."
Wilbur's eyes widened in realization. "Don't tell me you've been reading the hate online."
Tommy slowly nodded, knowing Wilbur had always warned him not to. He bit his lip, not looking at Wilbur.
Slowly two arms wrapped around him, loosely at first as if waiting for permission. When Tommy didn't pull away, the grip tightened. Wilbur rested his chin on the boy's head, a few tears still slipping. "Tommy, I told you not to look at that stuff. It always makes you so sad Toms." he paused, sighing. "I hate seeing you sad."
Tommy gripped onto his sweater, "I'm sorry Wilby..." he began, getting choked up again. "It's just there's so much! And everywhere I look people are hating on me! And-and I just couldn't ignore it anymore." he whimpered.
Wilbur kissed his forehead, still holding him close. "You need to come to me when this stuff happens. I can help you, we all can."
Tommy nodded, liking that idea. It was too scary to deal with alone. "I will... I promise."
"I'm so sorry about everything I said downstairs. I should have known something wasn't right with you. I just... I figured I could cheer you up and I went too far. I'm so sorry Tommy." Wilbur apologized.
"It's okay. I forgive you." Tommy pulled out of the hug, smiling up at him.
Techno and Phil smiled at the two before joining the hug.
"We love you Tommy." Phil whispered, holding him tightly.
"We are so proud of you Toms." Techno spoke, monotone like always. But there was care behind his tone, like there always was.
"Nothing will ever change that." Wilbur promised, smiling at the younger. "And you should never change. You'll always be our Tommy, no matter what."
"I love you guys." Tommy nearly cried again.
"We love you too Toms."
