Crimeboys [dsmp au]

chapter one

"Come on Wilb! It's going to be fun!" Tommy says trying to be optimistic. It was not working. "We are going to be late if you don't hurry up!" Wilbur just grumbled and dragged his feet to his door. Wilbur opened the door to find the blonde outside his door. 

"I don't wanna go- I have better things to do than school." Wilbur replied.

"Like play with your guitar all day?" Tommy scoffed. 

"You're right I can't afford to miss anymore school especially after last year. Phil would kill me." Wilbur quickly got dressed and walked downstairs to meet Tommy at the door. 

"After you ma'am," Tom said as he opened the door for Wilbur.

"Thanks asshole." Wilbur smiles. 

The boys walked together to school. It was a cloudy day out. Wind gusts through the trees. Even though it was early autumn the weather felt like summer had never really left. The air was crisp and warm. Tommy loved this weather. It felt nostalgic to feel the wind on his neck while he walked the same path he always had with Wilbur to his side. Wilbur walked next to Tommy. Wilbur looked tired. Wilbur sported a droop in his shoulders and an almost sluggish walk. 

"You good mate?" Tom asks raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, just not much sleep." Wilbur said with a strained expression. Wilbur then tries to give Tommy a smile of comfort so the boy would back off.

"Oh okay." Tommy  says looking at his palms as he replied to Wilbur, Tommy avoided eye contact for the rest of the walk.

And suddenly it dawned on Tommy, this was the last year he would ever be walking to school with Wilbur. Tommy sighed and looked back at Wilbur. Usually by now the boys would be entangled in a conversation that was anything but school appropriate. But now Wilbur was distant, Wilbur's brown hair was in his face covering his chocolate brown eyes. 

After a while the two brothers arrived at the brick building. Tons of students filled the yard. Tommy searched the lawn for Toby. 

"Wanna go find Toby?" Tommy asks. 

"I erh- have to get to class, see you at lunch Tommy." Wilbur remarked putting his hands in his pockets after giving Tommy a pat on the shoulder.

Tommy stood there for a while and studied how Wilbur walked. Something was off. Very off. This was not his crazed, enthusiastic brother.
