Eburnean Tommy Au

XXX - Coma

Tommy finds himself in a dark void and hears his mother arguing with someone in that weird language. For some reason this time, he can get an idea of what they're saying.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" his mother shouts at the other person

"WITH ME? Kristin, you can't keep messing with souls, I know he's a bad person but he wasn't fated to die just yet!"

"AND TOMMY ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE IN A COMA BUT YOU JUST HAD TO GET IN THE WAY OF THINGS!"

"No, he's supposed to be dead, and I'm only stopping you from being reckless-"

Tommy can feel his mother's rage increase to ineffable levels, which he isn't scared by, as he knows it's not towards him. He is scared about the fact that he's apparently in a coma, and is supposed to be dead.

"I'M BEING RECKLESS? YOU LET A MORTAL GET A HOLD OF THE REVIVE BOOK, YOU DIDN'T LET ME STOP HIM FROM RUINING MY SON'S LIFE, THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT, AND NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME WHAT TO DO WHEN MY SON IS SUPPOSED TO DIE FROM A HEART ATTACK, WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN GET A FUCKING SAY IN THIS, BECAUSE I'M DEATH, AND THIS IS MY DOMAIN"

Tommy starts to freak out, his mother and whomever she's yelling at clearly don't know he can hear them, Mumza would make him feel all better if she knew. He has no clue how to get their attention, he can't speak, he can't do anything.

"Kristin, please, you must be impartial-"

"OH YEAH, BECAUSE YOU'RE SO GREAT AT THAT TOO, IN FACT, I'LL JUST GO KILL THAT LITTLE BOYFRIEND OF YOURS, AND I THINK I'LL PUT HIM IN THE SAME HELL I PUT DREAM IN, YOU WON'T MIND, WILL YOU?"

The man sighs, he doesn't seem to have a comeback.

"You're such a hypocrite, XD"

Tommy gasps, XD? No.. that would mean... oh hell, XD gave him the book. He feels sick, he thought XD was good, no he is good, is he? No, no he's bad, Mumza said so at some point, and Mumza's the nicest person Tommy knows. His head hurts, his god, Prime himself, let him go through hell, he's scared, he needs Mumza.

Kristin senses Tommy internally begging for her comfort, then realizes he had heard the argument, and wraps him in her arms as he brings him to their flower field "Oh my poor angel, I'm here, shh, you're safe"

Tommy tries for a long time to calm down, it's never been so difficult when in his mother's arms. He opens his mouth to speak once he stops crying so hard, but he's hit with an overwhelming wave of feeling and goes back to weeping.

"Sshh, I know, I know, you don't have to explain, I'm so sorry you heard all that, my little angel"

Tommy sobs and sobs while his mum consoles him.

"You've been so, so brave, Tommy, you can cry as much as you need, I'm here"

Tubbo panics when he hears Techno shout for Phil, and sees the scene that follows. He's glad Michael's asleep.

Phil tries to get Tommy to hide in a more secluded room, but he goes to the window instead and collapses, for Tubbo to see Dream fighting with Techno through the frosty window. It's pretty unclear what happens after that, but some chaos certainly ensues.

When it's died down Tubbo goes to try and wake Tommy up, but he stays unconscious.

"Tommy? Tommy can you hea-"

"Tubbo, stop shaking him, his mind and body are dealing with a lot of stress, it's probably not the best to wake him up right now, let's at least wait until everything's sorted out"

"Oh.. yeah, yeah you're right, help me get him to the couch"

Phil does so and then hears the door open.

"Oh, Techno, that was fast, how'd it go?"

"Killed him, it was really easy 'cause Kristin was eager to take him, she told me she's keeping Tommy safe, not sure what exactly she means by that though" The blade explains while he uses a healing potion and bandages his wounds.

"I'm so fucking glad you killed that guy," Tubbo says, "Tommy's out cold, though"

"She might've done that," Phil points out, "Kristin, I mean,"

"Yeah, probably" Techno agrees, wrapping the gash above his wrist.

"How would that help him?" Tubbo figures it out as soon as he asks the question.

"Well, I don't think he'd be doing too great if he were awake for this," Technoblade reasons.

"Yeah I realized that when I said it, I hope he wakes up soon"

- 🕝 - 4 hours later -

Techno puts Tommy on his bed, Tubbo and Phil can't carry him all the way back to his and Toby's house. He pulls the covers over him and looks at him with worry. Tubbo really meant it when he said he was out cold; he's not squirming and stirring as he normally does from his nightmares, he's just laying still, it's impossible to tell if he's even breathing without putting a hand on his chest. Techno only knows because he has done so several times out of paranoia.

With that thought, he moves the heavier blankets down from his chest and checks his breathing again.

He sighs, glad that he's breathing, though he had no good reason to believe he wouldn't be, "Please wake up soon, kiddo, Phil's gonna lose his mind if you're in a coma or something"
