'The thin line between Caring.. and borderline Possessive.' (Dark SBI)

6. Group Meeting

Tommy slowly woke up to arms gently holding him, Tommy also noticed that he was warmer than usual; instead of being cold, like how he usually was in his apartment or in just in general.

He honestly didn't want to move, he knew he disliked physical contact but this was.. different... comforting. He didn't really understand why this was different but- that wasn't the point. After a small look around he figured out that he was at the Cafe, he just didn't know why Flame was here and— holding HIM..

"Hey kid." Flame said calmly, making Tommy flinch- which made the older of the two laugh under his breath. "Calm down tiny.. it's just me-"

Tommy paused for a moment- before quickly getting out of Flame's hold and getting up quickly. . . Which made him automatically fall due to standing up too quickly. Before he could actually hit the floor though he was grabbed by none other than the top 3 hero.

"Wow.. not much of a morning person ey?" S̶a̶p̶n̶a̶p̶ Flame said with a smile not really shown due to his mask.

"Shut up prick.. I just haven't ea—..." Tommy cut himself off, eating a concerned look from the elder of the two.

"What was that?" Flame's voice slightly tightened, looking down at the younger.

Tommy laughed quietly, trying to hide how nervous he was while also trying to come up with an excuse. "Oh.. uh.. don't worry big man- I just.. u-umh.."

The elder of the two slightly shook his head, before pulling out his phone and clicking away for a small moment. Which made Tommy a little confused because wasn't Flame mad at him a second ago?

"Alright. Kid? What's your name." Flame said out of the blue, looking down at the younger.

"Oh uh- Tommy. Tommy Danger Kraken BigMan In—"

"Alright Tommy— You don't need to tell me your year-long name." Tommy slightly gasped at offence, both at Flame cutting him off and saying that.

"You're going to be coming with me alright?.. if you're okay with that- I won't be kidnapping a child-" Flame said as he moved to the door.

"Come with you? Why would you wanna take me-" Tommy sounded a little confused before Flame opened the door and grabbed Tommy's wrist.

Tommy glanced down at the elders hand, before looking back up at him with a slight smile. He may not have been uncomfortable with someone doing that but I guess it would be fine.. it'd be okay.

Flames eyes creased at the corners, showing a giant smile under his mask- before quickly pulling Tommy out and closing the door.

Before Tommy could process it he was being dragged quite quickly, right before being picked up since he was being 'too slow'- the elder of the two holding Tommy close to his chest while being gentle and quick.

Tommy wasn't sure when or where he fell asleep, or even that he had fallen asleep until he was being poked awake. Tommy let out a small noise of complaint before being completely dropped- (well not completely, Tommy was only dropped like a foot-)

"Ow-" Tommy slowly got up, sending a glare to Flame and freezing when he saw Dream and 404 behind him. Which made Tommy go paler then what he originally was- and which also made him 'gape' at the other two.

"So why'd-" 404 let out a small yawn, before continuing. "You wake me up... and.. bring a kid?.."

Tommy let out a noise of irritation before sending a glare to the Goggled boy.

"I am not a kid.. I'm- Im 19." Tommy looked slightly annoyed, trying his best to not look like he lied.

"So you brought an annoying kid.." 404 groaned out softly, looking frustrated.
