After a while of Tommy and Wilbur cuddling on the couch Phil came home. He put his shoes up and when he turned towards the living room he looked surprised at them both sitting there. Wilbur gave him a soft smile while Tommy napped lightly on his shoulder.
"Hey." Phil said softly, walking fully into the living room.
"Hi." Wilbur whispered back. Phil sat on the couch across from them and Wilbur paused the show so they could talk without having to talk over the tv. Techno upon hearing their dad got up from the table and walked into the living room, taking a seat next to Phil.
"Hi." Techno said softly, noticing that Tommy was asleep.
"Hey." Wilbur whispered to him.
"Having fun there?" Phil mused, seeing how happy Wilbur was with Tommy next to him and Wilbur smiled.
"I don't think I scare him anymore." Wilbur said and he glanced down at Tommy. Phil saw tears begin to well up in his eyes.
"Hey, isn't that a good thing?" Phil asked concerned and Wilbur nodded as much as he could without disturbing Tommy. "Then why are you crying?"
"Wil?" Techno asked when Wilbur didn't respond.
"I hate that I scared him in the first place." Wilbur lightly sobbed and suddenly Tommy's hands wrapped around Wilbur and forced him into a weird sideways hug.
"It's not your fault that I got scared." Tommy said suddenly, shocking all of them slightly since they assumed he was still asleep.
"But it is!" Wilbur sobbed and Tommy moved to fully pull him into a hug.
"No it's not. We both fought because we were intoxicated and not okay, relapsing makes you not okay. And the nightmare wasn't your fault either. I'm sorry that I needed space but I still love you, I will never not love you, even when shit like that happens." Tommy said and that just made Wilbur cry even more.
"Jesus." Techno said lightly and when Phil looked at him he saw Techno had tears in his eyes too.
"What's up?" Phil asked him and Techno wiped his tears away.
"Hearing shit like that, about relapsing and 'never not love you' just still kinda hits hard sometimes." Techno admitted and Phil nodded, opening his arms to offer a hug to Techno, which he accepted.
Once everyone was more calmed down and they pulled away from their hugs Phil looked over to Techno once again.
"Can I ask you something Tech?" Phil asked and Techno nodded. "When did you cut your hair?" And suddenly all the color drained from Techno's face.
Techno instinctively reached for his bun but all of his hair was still in it, so he wasn't sure how Phil knew. Both Wilbur and Tommy looked at him, both offering small smiles.
"Tech, we've all known for a bit now." Wilbur offered and tears welled in Techno's eyes again.
"No, I didn't- I've kept my hair- none of you said- no." Techno said in a jumble of words. Phil put his hand on Techno's for a moment, grabbing it and squeezing it gently as a reminder to breathe. Techno took a moment to take some deep breaths while Phil spoke.
"I noticed about a week ago, Tommy said he noticed the night when everything went down but he wasn't sure if you had cut your hair before then or not. Was it that night?" Phil asked softly and Techno nodded. "That's okay, can we see it?"
