TW// Slurs, Swears, and Bullying(?)

<I'll put stars by them so you can skip if they make you uncomfortable!>  

Maybe I did deserve it this time. Maybe I deserved it last time too. Maybe I deserved it last time and I will every time next time. I just sighed and closed my eyes bracing myself for the inevitable beating I was about to receive. But It never came. Seconds passed slowly, seeming like hours as they ticked by slowly.

Tick. Tock

Tick... Tock...

Tick...... Tock....

Each time seems to take years longer. Until, I felt a familiar sharp pain in my neck. You know, I thought It'd be different this time around. I thought I might have been safe with my new family. But foster families don't stay very long. I don't know why I got my hopes up for this one.

What was so special about them? Just a couple of people who took pity on the foster kid. They weren't different. They were just like the rest.

Just like everyone else.

That was it. I felt my eyes grow heavy as my body fell limp onto the cold concrete flooring.

Ten Months earlier.

A New home means a new family. A new family means new people. New people means new Me! That means they have no idea about anything that's happened in the past homes. Right? Julie wouldn't tell them what happened, she promised. If she had told them I got kicked out of the Foster Home, they would be cruel to me. They would think I'm the "bad kid", the "runaway". Well I guess that's true but only if they are mean! And Yeah I'm kind of rude and annoying but that's just who I am!

Apparently my Panic attack was showing, I know this because I'm Shit at hiding them and Julie gave me a strange sort of look. A look that screamed 'The Fuck is wrong with this kid now???' She gives me that look a lot. I looked up at her with pleading eyes as I started to try and calm my breathing.

"Tell me 5 things you can see."

"Y-You, m-my hair, the bed, my s-shoes an-d my b-bag."

"Good, Now tell me 4 things you can touch."

Her praise felt so warm, so safe.

"M-My shirt. The B-Bed, Th-e floor a-and y-your hand."

"That's right! Now 3 things you can hear."

"The bird's, your v-voice, and a car?" I said my voice raising as I questioned the new unfamiliar sound.

"Focus on me, 2 things you can smell."

"Purpled's old Dirty clothes. And Rose's."

"Now finally one thing you can taste."

"Um, Burnt toast?" I chuckled.

"Feeling better now Tommy?" She asked, I only nodded with a soft smile in return. "Good, now get changed into your nicest outfit, this family seems very good for you and is looking into maybe adopting." My heart leaped when she said they were looking into adopting, they might keep me? I might become a part of a good family! "That is of course, only if your mother allows it."

That's right. I'm in the system. Not the orphanage. God I wish I was just put up for adoption. It would have been so much easier. I must have zoned out for a bit because I didn't when Julie had gotten up the leave until I heard the loud metallic creaking of my bedroom door.

I sighed and changed into my nicest looking outfit. It wasn't even mine. It was this girl named Deo who had been my roommate for a bit before he too was adopted. Just like Luke, and Bitzle, and stupid fucking Purpled, who was only here for a day before getting adopted. A fucking Day!

My outfit was an orange sweater that was layered over a dirty old white colored shirt and finished off with a pair of black pants and two sizes too small sneakers. Everything in this outfit that wasn't my sneakers was about two sizes too large. As Deo was much taller than me.

Within minutes of me changing I heard that loud stupid ringing of the intercoms starting up. "Will Thomas Innit please make his way to the Office."

I sighed upon hearing this and I reluctantly shuffled my way to the front office. I stared at the large wooden door in front of me. It seemed to tower over me, more than before. I opened the door and a loud creaking noise echoed through the long hallways.

"Hello Tommy. Thank you for joining us. This is Mr Soot, and his sons Wilbur Soot and Technoblade Soot." Mr Vince's voice boomed through the room.

"Hello Sirs...?" I gulped, growing slightly panicked as I had questioned myself at the end of my statement.

"Oh Tommy, there's no need to be so formal!" The old man, Mr Soot, chuckled. I simply nodded in response.

"Heya Tommy! I'm Wilbur!" The tall brunette said walking up to me as Mr Soot filled out paperwork with Mr Vince.

"Hello, Wilbur... How old are you? You're rather tall..." I said my voice trailing off as I tried to seem rude.

"Oh! I'm 19!" Wilbur chuckled. "And that antisocial pig over there is my brother, Technoblade or just Techno." He added.

"I'M NOT ANTISOCIAL!!!!" The pink haired man shouted.

"I like your pink hair sir! It's so cool!!!" I said in awe of how cool his hair looks.

"Thomas." Mr Vince glared at me.

~*Point to stop reading if you're uncomfortable with Bullying"

"I-I mean, umm, hair shouldn't look like that, it's ummm, unnatural...?" I said looking down sadly.

"And?" Mr Vince said, asking me to go on.

"T-Too long for a...... male....." I said, sighing.

"Oh." Techno said and looked at me with sympathy.

"Thomas, go fix me a drink. Mr Soot would you like one as well?" Mr Vince said.

"I'm fine Mate." Mr Soot said.

"Go Thomas, what are you waiting for!" He shouted. I nodded quickly and rushed into his office to pour him a scotch. I grabbed his cigarettes and a lighter and rushed back.

"Here you go Mr Vince, Sir." I said and handed him the drink.

"Light it." With that I lit the smoke and turned to go back to my seat, I pocketed the lighter but I think Techno saw me do it.

"Come on Tommy, let's get you out of here and back home." Mr Soot smiled.

"Alright Mr Soot." I said and walked behind them out that door.

"Oh and Thomas."

"Yes, Sir?"

"No more of that Lesbian Tranny shit while your with them alright?"

"Yes sir."

~*Point to keep reading if you skipped the other parts!*~

I ran to check up with them as they were almost to their car.

"Mr Techno! Mr Techno!" I said running to him.

"Heh?"

"I'm so so sorry about that I think your hair is lovely and so cool and-"

"It's fine Tommy." He smiled. His smile was so warm. I felt my face light up when he smiled. I made someone smile. I made someone Smile! With that I happily slipped into the back of the car.

"Tommy,"

"Yes Mr Soot?"

"You can call me Philza."

"Alright."
