Tommy turned around, being absolutely terrified looking at the angry pinkette standing in front off him. Techno was mad at the kid. Was he actually just a brat pretending to be traumatic to get on their good side? He was really confused right now but he was furious at the kid.

"Te- T-Techno, I-It's n-n-not wha- what I-It l-lo- looks li- like, I- I s-swear.!" Tommy panickly said falling over his own words. "What do you mean 'not what it looks like'? I literally saw you trying to steal dad's money!" Technoblade screams at the younger such made the kid flinch hardly backing away a bit.

Tommy was scanning the area. Looking for a way to escape. When he saw the front door he immediately ran to it without thinking. Yelping when the mad pinkette grabbed his wrists.

Tommy squeezed his eyes shut and turned his head away to not be met with the blood red eyes of Techno, and to make a hit less painfull. "Don't pull that shit on me, kid. Your just pretending to be a problem kid to get on our good side faster, aren't you?" Techno screamed at the kid making him hardly flinch again, kinda regretting it after. Faking? The boy's screams and fear actually seemed pretty real, and he reacted way to fast on every movement or touch.

He felt the boy harldy wince as Techno's tightened his grip on the boys wrists. His expression changed to confusion.

"Why did you wince?" Techno asked. Tommy's eyes widened as the golden blonde panicked a bit, he couldn't come up with a lie so he said "I didn't" even tough it was risky for many reasons. Techno gave him a worried and suspicious look and said. "Roll up your sleeve." Tommy's expression changes to worry and that was all Techno needed to know. "Now." He added on, a bit guilty when he made the blonde flinch again, and saw him roll up his sleeve.

Techno looked at his arm in absolute shock. He saw over 40 cuts on his wrists. He looked even more concerned at the fact that they where still fresh and blood was streaming out of them. "We are going to bandage them, now." Techno sternly said looking at the blonde. Tommy just nodded in fear and followed the pinkette to his room.

When the potato lover got the bandages he firstly washed the blood off and sprayed disinfectant on the cuts. Of course Tommy winced at it but didn't want to make it obvious so he would make the pinkette even more mad than he already was.

While Techno was bandaging the boy he noticed some other things than self harm cuts.

He saw cuts that seemed like he didn't make them himself.                                                                   
There where burn marks lined in perfect circles.
There where just places full of wounds and awful words carved in his skin.
And as last there where tons of bruises.

Techno also noticed how thin his arms where, way too unhealthy. Tommy's arms looked like a fucking skeleton. Yeah, actually no doubts that the golden blonde has an eating disorder.

While the pinkette was bandaging his arms he asked "Why did you do this?" to the golden blonde. Tommy just turned his head away and lifted his shoulders up, directly wincing after at how disrespectful he was being. Techno just signed, the kid just needed some time. So the insomnial minecraft player asked him another question. "Why did you try to steal Phil's money?" Techno asked with a slightly maddened tone. The boy lightly flinched at the elders tone but tried to explain so he wouldn't get in any more trouble then he already was.

"I-I needed mo- money to b-buy new b-bandages... I-I'm sorry, I-I k-know I should've c-collected m-money from t-the streets.." The golden blonde quietly suttered, leaning his head away even more so he couldn't meet eyes with the pinkette sitting in front of him.

Techno's eyes widened as guilt rises him. He had scared this kid and told him he was faking his possible trauma while he didn't do anything wrong. He stole the money because otherwise he'll probally bleed out. He did it to survive and Techno here scared him half to death. He wanted to apologize but before he could he heard the smaller's stomach growling really hard. Techno saw Tommy's eyes widen as he tried to make another noice that sounded like his stomach growling. 

"Let's get you something to eat." Techno said motioning for the blonde child to follow him. Tommy hesitated before giving in and following the older man to the kitchen.

Techno grabbed a small salad for the younger, knowing it'll probally be easier for him to eat it then something else. Tommy still looked at it with a bit of disgust but he guessed it was better then anything else. Besides, he could purge it out right after, right? As he slowly ate the whole meal looking like he was about to throw up with every bite he took, he excused himself and went on his way to the bathroom. 

But on his way he suddenly felt a strong grip on his elbow wincing a bit. As soon as Techno saw Tommy wince he loosened the grip as he saw the younger golden blonde meet eyes with him.

"No purging." The pinkette said with a serious tone. Tommy's eyes widened. How the fuck did he know? Did he see it at how slow the golden blonde ate? The fact that he fact that he was so fat that there wasn't any other option then to just stop eating or get rid of the calories? But of course Tommy wasn't gonna give in and ask how he knew, instead the kid asked. "What do you mean?" Almost to confident as it seemed really suspicious. Techno upped one eyebrow. 

"You literally look like you haven't eaten for weeks, you look like a skeleton. And when I hugged you on your second day you felt way too thin. I also see it at how disappointed you always get when we talk about eating meals and you always eat half ur plates slowly looking at it in disgust. And I heard you purge one time." The pinkette answered. Tommy's eyes widened even more this time. 

He had so much questions going trough his head. But the most important ones that kept lingering where 'What did he mean with, hug you on your second day?' And 'I knew someone heard me purge.' He decided to not ask any more questions since it'll cause more trouble anyways. 

"I don't look like a fucking skeleton, prick! And I eat perfectly fine, I don't hate food." Tommy said lightly wincing again at how harsh that came out. I mean, it sounds harsh if you take it the wrong way wich most of the golden blonde's foster home's did. (When u want to tell ur parents a funny joke but it turns into a lecture😢)

 He looked up at the pinkette, about to apologize but the older just chuckled, not a scary chuckle but just like it's a bit sarcastic. "Oh please, I could just snap your arm in two in a second. And you cannot fool me to think you eat fine." Techno said sarcastically giggling a bit. The blonde flinched, Techno surely couldn't just break his arm in a second. Surely not. He suddenly could hear his stomach growling again. It's probably because of that stupid salad he couldn't purge now. He was getting fatter. He was getting fatter. He was getting- 

His vision started to fill with black dots as he fell to his knees. "Hey ki-.... okay?....." Where the last things he could hear before his vision fully turned to black and he passed out.
