No cause for concern

Only chapter

Patrol sucks. It was too quiet and there was nothing to do. Tommy could hear Tubbo in his ear talking about some trashy tv show and Ranboo making pancakes. Tommy walked pass several alleyways, not too interested in any of them. While walking passed one, a man ran out in front of him and turned down a street towards west Kinoko. Tommy got ready to chase the figure until a groan was heard from the alley. Tubbo whispered to be careful and had silently turned on Tommy's gps.

The blonde quietly crept down and saw a slumped over figure. He smelt blood and instantly became frantic. He rushed forward and fell to his knees next to the person, not caring about the blood now soaking his pants. He gently took the figure's head in his hand and rolled it back before gasping. Sitting in front of him was Siren, his older brother. Despite Tubbo's warnings, he threw off his mask and frantically started checking over the brunette's injuries. None were too deep but they were bad enough that they needed attention. "Wil? Wilby can you hear me" The man groaned before slumping himself over to look at Tommy. "'mmy? What're you doing here?" "You need help Wil, let me help" Tommy slung Wilbur's arm over his shoulder and hoisted him up. Wilbur groaned louder and the younger boy shushed him. He started dragging him towards their home while whispering encouragements to Wil for every step.

When they got to the front door Tommy leaned Wilbur against a porch post and fished his key out of his suit's pockets. The second the door opened their father was on top of them ushering them into the house and asking a million questions. Technoblade only asked one. "Why are you wearing Theseus's suit?" Phil didn't seem to pay attention before his wings feathered out further. "Tommy you're covered in blood!" He forced both of his boys onto stools to check them over. Soft warbles came from him every time Wilbur cried out. The Brunette man had layed out backwards against the kitchen counter. "This one was really bad, Phil. Couldn't see the knife comin'" Phil sighed slightly before continuing to wrap his eldest's wounds. After, the avian moved the smaller blonde and lifted up his pant legs to where the blood stains were. "Seems like it was just Wil's blood. Are you hurt anywhere?" When Phil looked up, it finally clicked.

"Theseus? You're trying to tell me my son is the most wanted vigilante in L'manburg?" Tommy couldn't tell if he was disappointed, angry, or hurt. It didn't matter, panic started creeping up Tommy's throat. "Dad, I can explain" He reached over and weakly grabbed Wilbur's hand for a little support. Wil whined and tried to pull Tommy closer. Phil looked at the boy expectantly while Techno got up and moved into the kitchen. Tom was at a loss for words. How would he tell his family he was the worst vigilante ever known? He felt sick. His throat felt tight and he lacked air. He finally got enough oxygen to stutter out a response. "I'm sorry. I just felt I needed to do this to prove myself".

Phil looked at his boy. The little boy that was gifted to him by his goddess. The little boy he promised her he'd protect. How could he have known? He felt a piece of his heart shatter at all the times he'd told Theseus that he was worthless and all the beatings they'd given him. "Tommy you should have told us. What if you'd been hurt? What if we had turned you in?" Tommy laughed. "Well here's your chance. I'm defenseless" Phil frowned. "We're....not going to turn you in....you're definitely grounded" he chuckled. "I just don't understand, why would you need to prove yourself?" Tommy got up from the stool, wobbling slightly. He leaned against the counter and ran his fingers through Wilbur's hair. He ignored the winces coming from the man whenever his finger snagged a knot. "All they ever see is Siren and Blade's little brother, no one ever sees me"

Tommy sighed and slumped over on the couch. "You all only see a weak little kid. I wanted to prove I was more than that" Phil sat beside him and pulled the boy's head on his shoulder. "You are so much more than a little kid" Phil smiled wickedly and started tickling the boy's sides. "You're my little superstar!" Tommy started laughing, wildly kicking Phil trying to stop him. Phil backed off as Techno sat next to them. The pinkette(??) Pulled Tommy to his chest. "You have nothing to prove starlight. You are much more than just my little brother. You are our life. Just thinking if something had happened to you". Techno tightened his grip. Tommy leaned into his embrace, it'd been so long since he'd been held like this. Tears built up in his eyes and he buried his face in blade's shirt. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please don't be mad" Wilbur gave something between a chuff and a laugh before sitting up best he could. "Toms, how could we ever be mad at you? We're just worried. We love you so much" Tommy gripped Techno's shirt and cried harder. "I love you guys too"
