"Theodore! It's time for breakfast get down here!"

"coming grian!" Tommy said with a mouth full of water and toothpaste before quickly spitting it out into the marble sink and rinsing his face with the cold water.

Now you may be asking how did we get to this point?

Well let me inform you on everything that happened.

Tommy is no longer a naive 7 year old believing his parents will one day return and claim the son they left behind as their own.

Tommy is a 14 year old who doesn't really find joy in anything anymore.

You see life in the orphanage although was not the best, Eryn and purpled always made it 100 times better.

The plain hallways with full of closed doors always had one open door with the shouts and laughter bouncing of the walls in the hall. That open door was door 5, or as they liked to call it 'The P.E.T door". Eryn and Tommy thought it was hilarious but purpled thought it was stupid.

The mush they got used to calling food always off their plate but not inside their stomachs, oh god no. It was always on the floor, on the walls and on occasions the ceiling because one of the chaotic boys decided a food fight would be fun.

Rosaly was a mean and strict woman that thought 8 year olds should go to bed at 6pm but the trio always ignored whatever she said and mocked her behind her back.

And all that were some of the best moments in the 7 year old Tommy's life but eventually good things come to an end don't they?

A year and a half into Tommy's journey he got adopted by a man called grian who took a liking to him.
Apparently Grian thought he was a mix of some of his friends who unfortunately passed away though the adult never got too into the topic.

It seems the older male kept forgetting what he told tommy about how his friends died because everytime tommy asked there would be a different cause of death.

Those included:
. Tragic fires
. Drowning
. Health problems

And the list continued.

Although Grian was a nice man (he did have the red mist around him whenever tommy focused enough) and tommy respected him, he wasn't close to him. It is hard to get close to someone not home half the time.

Grian was a builder with a gift that was really complicated and didn't really have a name. Technically he could look at materials figure out their best use with just glance. That made him a total pro at his line of job.

Unfortunately because he was such a professional at his job he was always offered different jobs which he took almost always.

Usually grian was gone from 7:30 am up until 11:00pm which can be very problematic when raising a child.

Not to worry though! Grian allowed tommy to have 1 or 2 friends at home so he wouldn't get lonely (which would have been great if Tommy had any friends) and made sure he had enough f money for food and extras.

Anyway enough about all of this, back to the present.

Tommy rushed down the oak stairs jumping off halfway through. He landed with a thump, alerting the dirty blonde male of the child that was about to come rushing in in 3, 2, 1-
