a series of sbi oneshots

our new baby brother!

Tommy glances anxiously up at the moon, they should be here by now, shouldn't they? He looks to the edge of the trees, beyond the courtyard, it just looks dark. He can't see if Wilbur and Techno are there.

He whines low in his throat. they wouldn't lie. Maybe they're just running late.

Tommy paces an anxious circle in his cage.

Wilbur and Techno said that they would take him to see a real mountain, where they live. Tommy is excited, Wilbur and Technoblade are the most awesome ever, so where they live is probably the most awesome place ever.

Plus, Tommy is getting to go out of the courtyard, it'll be the first time ever. He was hatched in the castle, in Dream’s own fireplace, and he's special because of that, but being special means he doesn't get to do much or go anywhere but the cage and the castle.

But Wilbur and Techno are going to take him out there. As soon as they get here. He glances up at the moon again.

Tommy's ears perk.

The sound comes again, a low croon from the edge of the trees. Wilbur!

Tommy braces His forepaws on the bars of the cage and trills as quietly as he can. Wilbur and Techno slink out from the shadows of the trees. They're a lot bigger than Tommy, big enough that they can hop over the courtyard wall without even touching it.

"Hey sunshine, " Wilbur greets him softly, rubbing his cheek over the bars of the cage. Tommy presses his nose to Wilbur’s scales, purring. Wilbur exhales a cloud of sparks and smoke over him, then step aside so Techno blade can give a greeting of his own.

Tommy's tail flicks eagerly, and he spends a circle at the bottom of the cage. "Are we really going? I’m gonna see your mountain? can we go now?"

"Of course. we've got a long way to go so we better get moving as quickly as possible," Technoblade says. "stand back from the bars"

"Why?" Tommy asks.

"I'm going to break the cage so you can get out."

"Why don't you just use the key?" Tommy asks, confused. Everyone has keys to the cage, Dream, George, Sapnap, Punz, and a bunch more people probably.

"I don't have a key, dummy," Technoblade snorts.

"I'm not dumb, I was just kidding," Tommy says quickly. he doesn't want Technoblade and Wilbur to think he's dumb.

Wilbur laughs softly, "just get away from the bars, we gotta move quick before anybody realizes we're here."

Tommy shuffles to the far side of the cage, pressing himself against the  far side as Technoblade rears up. his massive talons cling to the bars, and they bend under the weight and strength that Technoblade brings to bear, his head tips down, his fangs bite into the metal and the back of his throat glows with heat.

The golden bars bend and buckle, and Technoblade tears them away with teeth and claws.

He's so cool .

Technoblade  spits out the mangled bars and licks his Jaws. He pokes the metal with a talon, "too bad we can't bring this with us, it's good gold."

Wilbur scoffs and smacks Technoblade with his tail. "We have the best gold in this place right here." He pulls at the rest of the bars, carefully bending away any jagged bits so that they won't touch Tommy scales.

Tommy quickly wiggles through the provided hole and pounces onto  the cobblestones. They're rough under his paws, and he squeaks at the unfamiliar texture.

Wilbur and Techno rumble laughter above him.

Tommy quickly straightens and pretends that he’s used to being on the stones. He’s a cool dragon like them. He’s used to walking, he can go on the grass whenever he wants.
