(Ate Your Heart) Tommy x male reader

out of bed

☆4 week skip☆

You rest your head on tommy's chest. You're no longer handcuffed to the bed and you're more trusted by the other hewitts. Luda mae made you the cashier at the gas station since hoyt thought it was time you started earning your keep. You were just happy you'd finally have a new environment and not just tommy's room. Tommy rubs your back and sits up. You sit up with him. Luda mae burst in. "Its time for work lovebirds." She says. Tommy nods groggily and so do you. You grab your name tag which is the only thing you have to put on for work. Tommy puts on his apron and you both walk down stairs for breakfast. Just like every meal its unidentified meat stew. Luda mae drives you both to work. Tommy goes to the back to butcher whatever the meat that luda mae sells and cooks. You stand at the counter not expecting any costumers. Since you worked here you notice there one or two costumers a week or sometimes a group that's just passing by but this week has been different. There's a regular that's a woman that keeps flirting with you. You turn her down every time but yesterday she asked why you kept turning her down and you couldn't answer and just waited for her to leave. This is Texas after all so you can tell just anyone you're gay, you're lucky hoyt and luda mae didn't care their son was. You sigh as you see her walk in but then feel relief when you see the guy holding her hand. You know she's probably trying to make you jealous but that wont work for obvious reasons. She grabs her usual chips and liquor. She walks up to the counter with a smug smile. You ring up her items, bag them, she pays but then just stands there. She nudges the guy she walked in with and he looks at her then your. He leans over the counter and gets close to you. "Why do you keep turning down my girlfriend?" He asks angrily. You stand there for a second to process what he just said then you put your hand over your mouth to cover your smile. "Let me go to the back for the second." You say happily. Once you shut the door you burst into laughter and tommy looks at you like you're crazy. "Tommy, I need you for a moment there's a cuckold trying to act tough." You say between laughs. You come out from the back with tommy behind you. The cuck steps back from the counter and his angry face turns to a worried one. "What was your question again?" You ask smugly. "Never mind." He whimpers before walking to the door in shame. The girl mean mugs you and Tommy before following her cuck. You laugh and Tommy smiles a bit before returning to the back. You stand at your post for the rest of the day, there where no more costumers. You help luda mae cook dinner and after everyone eats they all go to their rooms to most likely sleep. You lie down and Tommy lays down next to you. You yawn and turn over to face the wall, tommy turns over and makes you his little spoon. You get a cracked smile. You stay awake until you feel tommy's body relax more, indicating that he's asleep. You've been doing this more recently not knowing what you would even do, even if his arms are relaxed the slightest move and he wakes up. Tommy's a really light sleeper. You'd have a better chance running out of the gas station or jumping out of the car but you could never do that since you would be caught and probably not get as lucky as last time, and if you tried to escape it would hurt Tommy's feelings and you couldn't do that to him. You close your eyes and fall asleep. When you wake up Tommy isn't in bed or the room. You check the time and it's to early for work. You get up from the bed and stand at the door not knowing if you should open it or not. Anytime you leave the room Tommy is always with you and your not sure if your allowed to leave the room with out him. Just as you reach for the knob the door swings open and you see tommy. You sigh with relief but the notice the cleaver clenched in his hands. "Why do you have that?" You ask worryingly. He steps forward and you step back, this continues until your against the night stand. You start hyperventilating. "I dont like this tommy, it's not funny." You whimper. He rest the cleaver on your shoulder. "Tommy, please stop..." you shudder. He raises the cleaver but before he strikes you, you're shaken awake. You're actually awake this time. Tommy's looks down at you with a worried expression and his hand resting on your chest. Luda mae is at the foot of the bed. "I can excuse sleeping in for being stuck in a bad dream so just grab your name tag and get in the car." She says. You nod and she walks away. You sit up and look at tommy. "How did she know I was having a nightmare?" You asked worriedly. Tommy shrugs and you feel a bit relieved that he probably didn't hear what you said in your dream. You grab your name tag and both you and tommy get in luda mae's car. The drive feels awkward for some reason. While your at your post luda mae calls you over to the managers office. Do to its size you can tell it used to be a closet. "What happened?" You ask. "I need to know what you're nightmare was." She says seriously. You know that the truth would probably offend her so you quickly think of a lie. "I was in the dark and some strange sharp thing kept stabbing me randomly." You say. "Then why did you say "tommy, stop" ?" She says. You tense up and sigh. "The dream was Tommy threatening me with a cleaver." You say shamefully. She nods and you look down embarrassed. "I know he would never do that to me, please don't be angry." You plead. "No one has nightmares on purpose, I just wanted to know. I'm not angry at you or anything I just needed to know why you said that." She says. "Ok, I'm sorry I lied I didn't want to offend you or tommy." You say embarrassed. "Just dont lie to me again, ok?" She says. "Ok." You reply. "Now go back to the counter." She says. You nod and stand at the register for the rest of the day. Back at the house, after dinner you lay down onto of Tommy and fall asleep in his arms.
