Forgotten, that was the single word that Tommy knew all to well..

Tommy subconsciously tapped his pen agasint the almost smooth surface of his oak desk, his messy blonde hair falling in golden and untamed curls, almost covering his sparkling blue eyes. His cheeks where rosy and his lips showing a small smile, yet his mind was already far away from the work his tutor had set for him to do.

It wasn't like anyone would care much if he did not do his work, well other than to reprimand him. Part of him even longed for the attention his father gave him when that happened, even if it was for being in trouble.

Forgotten, yes that would have to be the most accurate word to describe the youngest royal of the Sleepy Kingdom. Tommy has two older brothers, thought sometimes they felt more like strangers to him anyway. There was the eldest, Crown Prince Technoblade, the honoured war hero, the skilled swordsman. And his twin brother Prince Wilbur, the famous musciain and strategist.

And then, there was their father. The might ruler of the entire Sleepy Kingdom, King Philza Minecraft. His icy blue eyes akin to Tommys, his firm yet fair gaze resting on each citizen, his wide smiles warm and fatherly, inviting even. His attention was always focused to every person in the entire kingdoms wants and needs.

Well, every single person in the kingdom, except Tommy.

Tommy shook his slightly to shrug those thoughts off, he smile slightly. Of course his brothers loved him! His father certainly loved him too! They where just really busy, they must have been having a bad day. He should go down and make them happy again!

So sporting a giant grin, Prince Tommy Minecraft decided to head down his towers stairs to the dinner hall. He greeted all the guards and castle staff that he spotted along the way with wild smiles and even wilder waves. After a few minutes of his journey he spotted the grand doors that lead to the dinner hall. He burst through them, to find his brothers and father already seated. They where already eating and immersed in conversation. 

They where eating their dinner without him.

As Tommy took in the scene his eyes sparkled a little less, Wilbur was laughing at something Technoblade said. Philza was shaking his head in amusement as he watched the twins bicker happily, they must have been waiting for him. It was ok, he frowned slightly. But quickly replaced it with a big smile, he strode fowards towards where his seat would normally be. Instead he found an empty space, his plate was gone too.

When did this happen? The staff must have forgotten..

This did not deter the young royal thought, "Ayup meh family!" Tommy hollered at the top of his lungs, grinning at everyone.

King Philza was the first person in his family to turn his gaze to the youngest royal, as he took in the lanky child his gaze hardened. "Tommy, sit down. I really need some peace and quiet right now, if you want to scream. Go back to your room" he said rather harshly.

Tommy felt his brows furrow slightly as he processed his fathers words, he quickly shook them off and continued with his usual exited rambling, "Dadza, where is my chair? I guess the staff forgot it, its fine though. I can be a big man and go fetch one myself! I am a ball of energy after all, Mum used to say that about me to-"

When Tommy said those words, the mighty ruler the Sleep Kingdom, King Philza Minecraft froze in his place. Letting his fork drop onto the table with a clatter, "What did you just say?" He whispered his voice low and angry, Tommy paused his rambling for a second in confusion before his father began speaking again, "Where.The.Hell.Did.You.Hear.That?!" With each word his voice became louder and louder, each word became stronger and by the last word Philza was shouting.

Tommy shrunk back at his fathers shouts, his once bright smile now replaced with a frown. "Wilby used to say that she would tell him that about me..." he muttered softly, now staring at the polished floor.

It took a few seconds for Philza to snap out of his frozen state, he stood up quickly and glared daggers at him youngest son. "Firstly, I would like to make it perfectly clear, that I did not invite you to dinner Thomas!" Philza yelled startling Wilbur and Technoblade, they glanced over at Tommy who was now frozen in shock. "Go back to your fucking room, boy! We don't want you here! I want some bloody peace in my life, is it that hard to shut the fuck up?! Your nothing but a loud stupid child!" Philza thundered slamming his firsts onto the grand table, making it wobble slightly.

Tommys mouth just opened and closed, then opened again, as thought he where trying to say something. But no sound came out, yet he did not. The ten year old royal just quickly scurried form the room.

King Philza just smoothed his green robes and sat back down like nothing had ever happened, he turned his now warm gaze to his eldest child, "So Techno, how was your training today?"

That was the day that Prince Tommys bright blue eyes became stormy and grey, clouded of his usual wonder and excitement. When his usually loud and endearingly obnoxious rambles became short, soft words. When his rosy cheeks began to pale and his face began to show no positive emotion, that was the day when the youngest royal of the Sleep Kingdom, Prince Thomas Theseus Minecraft stopped smiling.

That was the first day that Tommy lifted a knife to his skin, the first time that he enjoyed watching his blood drip down his arms. He was not good enough for his family.

Not good enough for anyone.
