Lightning Strikes (SBI)

Tommy POV

Tommy held his stuffed cow tighter against his chest, pulling his blanket tighter around himself. Another roar of thunder shook the house, making Tommy tremble even more. He hated thunderstorms more than anything.

The six year dove under the blankets, tears threatening to pour. Why did thunder have to be so loud? Covering his mouth, he attempted to muffle his sobs. Another flash reflected outside, followed by another roar of thunder.

Glancing towards his door, he knew he couldn't do this anymore. He needed his brothers. And he needed them now. They would protect him right? He could only pray they would. He wasn't sure what he would do if they laughed at him. That wasn't something he could handle.

Watching the window carefully, Tommy slipped out of bed. He made sure to bring Henry with him, feeling like he could be stronger with the cow with him. He couldn't remember life without Henry by his side. It had been a gift from Techno and Wilbur when he had first been adopted. Now he barely went anywhere without it.

Tiptoeing out of his room, he carefully opened his door and stepped into the dark hallway. Another lightning strike shook the house, making Tommy jump. A terrified cry escaped his lips as he raced towards the twin's rooms. Knocking on the door, he let out another sob. He just needed his brothers.

The door opened and Wilbur gasped at the sight of him. "Oh Toms I forgot you don't like thunderstorms." A roar of thunder hit, causing the blonde to jump in his brother's arms. Wilbur was quick to pick him up and bring him into the room, shutting the door behind him.

The older brought the frightened child to his bed, keeping his arms around him in a protective manner. Tommy buried his face in Wilbur's chest, clinging to his sweater like his life depended on it. Wilbur gently ran his fingers through the blonde's curls, hoping to ease his fears.

"Is he okay?" a voice came from the window. Techno had been sitting up against it, fascinated by the storm as it passed.

"He's just scared." Wilbur explained, adding, "Tommy's never liked thunderstorms. Usually he can sleep right through them."

"Oh Toms." Techno cooed, coming to sit beside Wilbur. "You've got nothing to worry about. We're safe here, I promise." he reassured, taking Tommy in his arms. 

"Yeah! You've got your big brothers to protect you!" Wilbur exclaimed, continuing to comb his fingers through his hair. "Not to mention Henry."

"I can't believe you still have him." Techno chuckled, hoping to distract the blonde. "You remember why we got it for you?" he questioned softly, glancing towards the window. 

Tommy thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I just remember getting it..."

Wilbur grinned, thinking back to the memory. "When you were first adopted, you were terrified. You clung to Phil no matter what. So when you were first separated from him, you had a really hard time with it. So Techno and I got the brilliant idea to get you a stuffed animal!"

"It was all my idea." Techno claimed proudly, to which Wilbur rolled his eyes.

"Shut up." Shaking his head, he turned back to Tommy. "As soon as you saw Henry, I swear it was love at first sight. As soon as you took him, you refused to put him down-"

Suddenly a huge flash filled the room, followed directly by thunder. The nightlights in the room instantly went out, making the older boys groan. The power was out. Immediately Tommy began to cry.

Wilbur and Techno tried to calm him down, whispering soft reassurances and hugging him tightly. The twins crawled under the covers, putting Tommy between them. They just wanted to make him feel as safe as possible.

"See Toms? We're safe! Nothing can get us under the covers!" Wilbur exclaimed, wiping away the blondes tears.

"And you're double protected because you have us!" Techno added, relieved as Tommy's sobs finally reduced to sniffles. 

Tommy looked at them doubtfully before yawning. All this scary stuff had made him exhausted. Looking between his brothers, he bit his lip. "Can I stay here tonight? I don't want to go back to my room..."

The brothers smiled fondly, each pressing a kiss to the blonde's forehead. 

"Of course you can Toms." Wilbur nodded.

"You can sleep in here anytime you want." Techno ruffled his hair. 

Tommy yawned again, his eyelids beginning to droop. "You guys are the best..." he slurred, feeling sleep take him. But right before he fell asleep, he heard his brothers.

"You're the best little brother ever Toms."

Whether it was Techno or Wilbur, he wasn't sure. And he wasn't sure it mattered.

All that mattered was that he was safe with his big brothers.
