Tommy POV

Tommy could feel his heart stop in his chest at the sight of the man. He wasn't supposed to be here for another few weeks. Why had he decided to come early? Why now? Wiping his tears, he stood up, ready to face the man.

"Tommy Innit. Where is my money?" the man demanded, his eyes narrowing on the boy in front of him.

"Y-you said I had another two weeks." Tommy stammered. 

"It's been two weeks." the man crossed his arms. "Where is the money?" He took a step towards the blonde, surprised to see three people step in front of Tommy. 

"Stay away from him." Techno growled, silently daring the man to come closer. He would show him what happened to people who wanted to harm his Tommy.

"Who are you to stop me from taking what is mine?" the man glared.

"And what is it yours?" Wilbur asked, glaring at him.

"He owns the building... I'm supposed to pay him rent." Tommy sighed, shifting his weight from foot to foot. He didn't have the money he needed. He wasn't even close. "Sir, I-I need a little more time-"

"I gave you a month extension!" he roared. "That should have been plenty of time for you to get back on your feet. So I'll ask you again. Where is my money?"

"Business hasn't been that good..." Tommy admitted, his head hanging in shame. All the customers he had lost had really hurt the business. And he wasn't sure if he could ever get enough customers to get back on his feet. 

"That's not my problem. I pay for the building, you pay for the rent. That's the deal. If you can't pay that, then you lose your business." he stated harshly.

Tommy's eyes grew wide with panic. He couldn't lose this place. It was the only thing he had left of Laura. And if he lost that... he lost her legacy. And he lost himself even more. "I-"

"I'll pay for it." Phil suddenly spoke up, slipping his hand into his pocket. He retrieved his wallet, fishing out a few bills. "Will this be enough?"

The man's eyes narrowed as he took the bills. He glanced back up at Phil. "I suppose this will do... for now."

"I'll pay for all of it from now on." Phil continued.

"Phil you-"

"I want to Tommy." he offered him a fond smile.

"I think that's your cue to leave." Techno moved towards the man, cracking his knuckles. "I can help you if you want."

The man rolled his eyes, huffing before turning on his heel. He left the store, taking all the tension with him.

Immediately Wilbur and Techno turned to Tommy. "Are you alright Toms?" Techno asked, reaching his arm out in comfort. To his surprise, Tommy didn't flinch this time. Instead he tackled the pinkette in a hug.

"Thank you! Thank you! You have no idea what this place means to me!" Tommy exclaimed, hugging him tightly. It felt so good to hug someone after so long. He hadn't hugged anyone since Laura had passed.

He let go of Techno, running to Phil to tackle him in a hug. "Thank you! Thank you so much Phil!" Phil held him tightly, almost like a father holds a child. 

"I promise I'll never leave you Tommy." Phil whispered into his hair, making Tommy hug back even tighter. They stood there for what seemed like forever. Until Wilbur spoke up.

Wilbur stood there, smirking, "I don't get a hug Toms?"

Tommy laughed, releasing Phil and running to Wilbur. He felt so complete with these people. How was that even possible? How could he feel like he knew them when he didn't? For once he didn't question it. He simply accepted it for what it was.

From that point on, the four of them met every day. 

Phil would share the stories of his adventures. Wilbur would play his songs. Techno would teach them all his secret talent of fencing. And in return, Tommy filled their hearts. He made them complete with his laughter and smiles. He truly made them happy, even when they didn't want to be.

It was perfect. It was the start of something wonderful.

 Something that would last forever.
