Wilbur POV

"Tommy!" Wilbur shouted, feeling his blood run cold when his brother didn't respond. Was Tommy okay? Why wasn't he responding? He was about to call out again when Techno stopped him.

"He must have passed out." Techno began pulling on his shoes as quickly as he could. "We need to go now." he said urgently when he saw Wilbur still standing there.

Wilbur quickly broke out of his trance, slipping his phone into his pocket. He grabbed his coat and keys, only pausing to put on his shoes.

The two brothers sprinted to the car, wasting no time. Wilbur started the car, quickly heading towards the school. Wilbur's thoughts raced a million miles a minute as he thought of Tommy.

"What do you think happened?" the brunette asked Techno, not taking his eyes off the road.

"Probably some stupid joke the kids at the school came up with." Techno huffed, glaring out the window.

"Do they not know how bad his claustrophobia is?" Wilbur thought aloud, his fingers tapping on the steering wheel anxiously.

Techno glanced at him, "It's not like he tells people. Remember how long it took for him to admit it to us? Besides, I doubt they would have cared. Kids are cruel."

"Why hasn't he said anything?" Wilbur exclaimed, concern shining through his voice. How long had they been torturing him? Why hadn't he told them? He let out a sigh, "I thought he finally trusted us..."

"He trusted us enough to call us." Techno reminded him.

Wilbur nodded reluctantly, finally pulling into the school parking lot. Cars filled the parking lot, with school still going on. He quickly parked before jumping out of the vehicle with Techno on his heels. The two raced to the front entrance, wanting to find Tommy as fast as possible.

Looking down the hallways, they came to a halt. They didn't know where Tommy's locker was or if he was even trapped in his own locker.

"How-" Wilbur began.

"He has his phone. Call him!" Techno exclaimed, his eyes darting down the halls and then to the clocks.

Wilbur grabbed his phone, quickly dialing his number as fast as he could. "Hopefully he's close enough to where we'll be able to hear." he shifted from foot to foot, his heart hammering in his chest.

"This is where the sophomore's lockers are so he can't be far."

They stayed silent, hoping to hear his distinct ringtone. A second passed before a song began to play down the hallway. It was Tommy's favorite song, Your New Boyfriend. Wilbur had always complained that Tommy listened to it too much. But in all honesty, he loved that Tommy enjoyed his songs so much.

The brothers took off down the hallway, growing closer and closer to the sound with every step. Stopping in front of the locker, they realized they had come to a problem. How were they going to get to Tommy?

But Techno quickly found the solution. "I'll go find a janitor!" he explained, running off down the hallway.

Wilbur turned to the locker, stepping closer to it. "Tommy? Tommy, can you hear me?"

His heart raced as he heard the silence bounce back. His claustrophobia must have been really bad for him to have been passed out this long. He needed to get Tommy out of there as quickly as possible.

Luckily he didn't have to wait long. Looking up, he was relieved to see Techno sprinted towards him with a janitor not far behind. Using a master key, the man quickly unlocked the locker. Wilbur instantly grabbed Tommy, pulling him out of the cramped space. He brought him into his arms, carefully laying him on the ground.

"I'll go grab water." the janitor volunteered, heading back towards the front office.

The brothers turned to the younger. Wilbur gently nudged the blonde, trying to get him to open his eyes. "Come on Toms," he murmured, becoming more and more worried as the seconds passed. Techno sat beside him, unsure of what to do.

Tommy began to stir, groaning as Wilbur continued to wake him off. "Leave me alone." he groaned, trying to push Wilbur away.

"Open your eyes Toms," Wilbur spoke gently, feeling the relief crash into him.

Tommy cursed under his breath, finally complying. Wilbur had never been so happy to see those bright blue eyes again. Tommy tried to sit up, looking around in confusion. "Wh-where am I?"

Wilbur tightened his hold, explaining, "You're at school Toms. You fainted."

Tommy stared at him for a moment before it suddenly hit him. He was at a loss of words as he glanced up at the space he had been trapped in. Turning towards Wilbur, he tackled him in a hug, trying to hide his tears. It had been so long since he had felt fear like that... not since his past home.

"It's okay Toms, we've got you." Wilbur wrapped his arms around him protectively, whispering soft reassurances. Techno rubbed the boy's back, a simple reminder that he was there. Footsteps walked towards them and Wilbur could feel Tommy's grip on his sweater tighten. "It's alright, it's just the janitor."

The man held out a water bottle to Techno, knowing the boys had it handled. Techno nodded his thanks and the man walked away, leaving the three of them alone, much to Tommy's relief. His grip was still tight, but it had loosened considerably as soon as the man left them.

Techno opened the water bottle, holding it out Tommy. "Drink this Toms. You need to drink water, you still look as pale as a ghost."

Tommy pulled back from Wilbur, looking at the water hesitantly. Wiping his tears, he grabbed it, gulping down half the bottle. The brothers stayed by his side, glancing at the clock every once and a while.

Finally Techno asked, "Do you think you can stand up?"

Tommy rolled his eyes at the question, jumping to his feet, only to feet how wobbly his legs felt. "I can-" he took a step forward, his leg quickly giving out. Luckily Techno grabbed him, holding him tightly against his chest.

"I'll carry you." Techno said seriously.

"But-"

"Tommy, just don't argue for once." Wilbur chuckled.

Tommy sighed, giving up. He allowed Techno to pick him up bridal style. He may have even enjoyed the safety of Techno's hold. Not that he would ever admit that.

The three brothers made their way out of school, making sure to sign Tommy out before heading to the car. Techno sat in the back with Tommy, allowing the blonde to cling to him. The brothers said nothing, knowing better than to make fun of his claustrophobia. 

As they drove home, Tommy finally spoke. "Thank you for saving me." he whispered, barely loud enough for both of them to hear.

Techno pulled him closer, placing a brotherly kiss on the boy's forehead. "Of course Toms, we'll always come to save you."

"No matter what." Wilbur added, a warm smile on his face.

And for once Tommy smiled, making no retorts. Instead he took in the moment. 

Truly believing that his brothers meant it.

Which they did.
