Techno and Phil were trying to get Wilbur into the shower and cleaned up so he wasn't sleeping in blood. At one point Phil had to step out to get some air and Techno could distantly hear crying over the sound of the water. Techno painfully ignored it for a second as he helped Wilbur strip down to his boxers and put him in the bathtub.
"Okay, I'm going to go check on dad." Techno said after he shut the water off.
"Techno, Techno, Techno wait." Wilbur said drunkenly and Techno looked at him. "I didn't do something bad did I?" He asked.
"Do you want me to say you did something good?" Techno asked in return, eyebrows raised as he stared at his brother.
"Maybe." Wilbur mumbled and Techno looked at him.
"I'm not going to lie to you Wilbur." Is all Techno said before he left the bathroom fully.
He walked down to the kitchen where Phil was crying in the kitchen.
"Want a hug dad?" Techno offered and Phil looked up, nodding before Techno embraced him tightly. Phil just cried on Techno's shoulder for a few moments.
"I just didn't want this to happen, I didn't want the boys to get hurt, I didn't want them to hurt anybody." Phil sobbed and Techno didn't know what to do.
"It's not your fault." Is what Techno managed to come up with. Phil nodded and pulled away.
"How's Wilbur?" Phil asked. Techno stared at his father.
"You just sobbed into my arms when you rarely ever cry, are we sure we don't need to talk about you for a moment?" Techno asked and Phil just shook his head as he wiped away his tears.
"I don't want to get into it tonight Tech, I honestly want to get you and your brother to bed and then go to bed." Phil said and Techno knew not to push it anymore. "So how's Wilbur?"
"I don't know, drunk mostly. I don't think he realizes everything he's done." Techno said honestly and Phil nodded. "I can make sure he goes to bed and stuff if you want to go to bed." Techno said, glancing at the clock and seeing it was well past 4am.
"Yeah okay. Please let me know if you guys need anything or if you hear anything about Tommy." Phil said and Techno gave him a soft smile.
"Of course dad, I love you." Techno said and Phil smiled back.
"I love you too." Phil said and he gave Techno one last hug before he left for bed. Techno turned all the lights off in the kitchen and made his way back upstairs.
When he got back to the bathroom to check on Wilbur the first thing Techno noticed was the lack of sound coming from the bathroom. The second thing he noticed was that Wilbur had grabbed a towel, soaked it, and was now using it to keep his head under the water.
"Wilbur!" Techno screamed and he ran forward. He pulled the towel off of his head and pulled Wilbur up and got his upper half out of the water. He was sputtering and coughing up water. "You fucking idiot! Were you trying to kill yourself?" Techno screamed.
He didn't know why he was quite screaming at his brother, he knew screaming would probably do nothing but freak Wilbur out more. He just needed Wilbur to hear him, he needed him to hear the pain in his voice.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Wilbur repeated over and over as he nodded his head. Techno just grabbed onto his brother and held him tightly. Techno was scared, and so was Wilbur, but this was another kind of scared.
