Silent Screams // WILBUR SOOT ANGST // SBI ADOPTION AU

TWS: ed. 

Phil looked caught off guard, for a second Techno feared he would be angry - or upset, but his face relaxed into something the teenager couldn't place.

"If his- the people he's staying with say it's alright I don't see why not." Phil finally answered, calling somebody else his foster parent's felt too raw no matter how long it had been. Techno and Tommy shared a wide smile before the pink-haired pulled his phone out, immediately messaging the music lover.

TheBlade: Are you busy tonight?

He placed his phone on his lap, anxiously awaiting a reply for what felt like years before his phone vibrated against his knee.

WilburSoot: Uh, probably not. Why?

Techno smiled so wide it ached his face.

TheBlade: Do you want to come bowling with me, Tommy and Dad?
TheBlade: Phil*.
WilburSoot: I got who you mean, and woah are you sure? :O
TheBlade: Yeah, will your foster people be okay with it?

Wilbur laid on his bed scrolling through his youtube recommended videos, anything for a distraction, most of his youtube history consisted of MineCraft videos and gameplays. He didn't even have the game but it reminded him of Tommy, so he spent some nights watching MineCraft hacks and tricks so if he ever got the chance to play with the blonde again - he had something to talk about with him.

Tommy could have an older brother to learn something from that wasn't pressuring, not that Technblade had ever really pressured Tommy or anything, but Wilbur knew how daunting it was to have an older sibling who was good at everything they did and to be stuck in the shadows from previous placements.

He scrolled through videos until he landed on a manhunt video, those were always his favourite to watch but the voice in some of them drove him insane. It was so familiar and Wilbur couldn't work out why, at first he just assumed he had watched the same guy with Tommy or something but the more he watched the videos the more he realised it felt like more than just a guy from a video - it felt like he knew him - but Wilbur was sure he didn't, so it just stayed pestering him. A discord notification interrupted the video just as the guy was about to boat clutch and Wilbur considered ignoring the message until he saw it was from Techno.

TheBlade: Are you busy tonight?

Wilbur blinked, waiting for a 'wrong person' message, but it didn't come much to his confusion. He hesitated before replying not because he thought he was busy - he knew he had no plans - but because there was no way somebody was actually looking to spend time with him. Right?

WilburSoot: Uh, probably not. Why?

Wilbur didn't even get time to realise he had pressed send before a reply came through immediately.

TheBlade: Do you want to come bowling with me, Tommy and Dad?
TheBlade: Phil*.

The younger tried to pretend that the correction didn't bother him, he honestly didn't even realise that Techno had 'made a typo'. It was just another reminder that Wilbur wasn't actually a Watson, and that he only had himself.. but Phil had told him that he was like family to them, surely that had to count as something.

WilburSoot: I got who you mean, and woah are you sure? :O
TheBlade: Yeah, will your foster people be okay with it?

A sigh escaped, he had no idea if they would be okay with it but it wasn't like they would even notice and what they didn't know couldn't hurt them.

WilburSoot: They said it's fine because they're going out for work soon anyway.

If he felt bad lying he would just have to make sure that Techno wouldn't find out.
