Sleepy Calls and Family Feels 💕

Characters: IRLish AU

TW: None, just pure fluff

Tommy had been around Techno for ages, they were friends so truly it was no surprise.

They hung out quite a bit, a lot more than known really. One seeking the other out when they needed someone to just sit with, or to read with, really anything.

The two sat in calls for hours, just in silence or doing their own thing. Editing, working on school work (for Tommy at least), or hell, even sometimes sleeping.

A comfort was settled between the two of them, one that they prized between one another, often keeping these calls to themselves. What? They were possessive, plus it was their time together! No one needed to know about it.

It was another night, one after a long busy, and stressed-filled day. Tommy had gotten home only a few hours ago, having been out with Jack and Tubbo filming a vlog.

It was fun, of course. Tommy loved his friends to bits and adored filming and just borderline hanging out with them, but the week so far had been getting on Tommy's nerves.

So while filming was fun, he was a bit temper-headed. He had apologized for it before heading home, his two friends shaking their heads at him fondly and telling him it was okay.

When Tommy got home, he offered a hello to his parents before trudging upstairs and into his bathroom, taking a long hot shower. Standing in the water till his mum called for him to get out soon. Begrudgingly he listened, shutting off the water and grabbing his towel to dry himself.

Once he was in his room, he threw on one of his hoodies, humming to himself at the softness of it. After warm sweatpants and fuzzy socks were thrown on, he plopped down on his chair.

Exhaustion tugged at his body, his arms and legs felt heavy and his eyelids cried to be closed. Tommy ignored it, pushing the power button on this pc, he laid back in his chair and tapped on the armrest.

His computer, thankfully, was pretty fast with booting up. Typing in the pin code to his account, waiting for that to load quickly, then popping open Discord.

Discord, alike his computer, loaded up quickly, greeting him with the list of friends who were online. To his glee, Techno's icon sat on idle.

Tommy quickly clicked over to his dms and pressed the call button, fingers tapping on his desk in wait.

The call rang twice before Techno picked up, "Hulloo."

"Blade! Hello big man!"

Techno's mic crackled slightly, "What's it today, sundrop?"

Tommy's heart soared happily at the pet name, "Quiet today? Sleep call maybe, little chattin' is okay."

"Alright Toms, sleep call and slight talking. Just for you, kid," Techno said, voice coated in fondness. Tommy could hear shuffling from his side of the call, assuming Techno was getting in bed.

He spoke up again, "What did you do today?"

A hum, "Filmed with Jack and Tubbo."

"Ah, musta tired you out, huh? They're quite a bit to deal with."

"Ohh, Blade! I'm telling them you said that they'll be heartbroken, they will be." Tommy said, hearing his grin in his words.

"You say that like I don't tell 'em that myself, Toms."

Tommy barked out a laugh, head leaning back on his chair and eyes closed, a grin on his face. "Right, right, forgot that you're all hardcore and moody, ay?"

He paused for a moment before settling down, "They didn't tire me out, really, just been the whole week in general."

"Oh?" Techno hummed, Tommy could hear more shuffling and the muffled noise of a fidget toy going in the background, "What about the week's been getting at you?"

Tommy shrugged, pausing when he realized Techno couldn't see him, "Nothing specific? I guess, at least. Just kinda... stressed out. I can't really pinpoint why."

He shuffled on his chair, before grumbling to himself and pulling himself up, and instead, he dropped himself in his bed, headphones still on to talk and listen to Techno.

"Well, we haven't been talking much this week, unlike others."

Tommy blinked at that, thinking of a quip to shoot back but instead just responding in an honest way, "Yeah, honestly- honestly that might be it."

"Huh."

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

A laugh came from Techno's side of the call, "No- no, not at all. Just was expectin' you to sass me or something. You must be real tired, huh, sunshine?"

Tommy only hummed, letting his eyes shut, "Can you ramble about something? If you don't mind, gettin' tired."

Techno agreed softly, going on a ramble about youtube videos. Talking about some he was working on- some silly little rivalsduo video, as the fandom had named them.

The topic switched to some stories about people he saw at the store, to stories about his family, chatting about something his dad did.

It was well far enough in on Techno's rambles that Tommy was hazy-brained, sleep clouding most of his thoughts. So when Techno chatted on about his dad for a bit, his sleep-mind decided to spill some of his locked away thoughts,

"'Y'know-"

Techno paused his story, hearing the clearly half-asleep boy speak up,

"I got a dad 'n all but- but," a sleepy laugh, "d'nt tell him but, i kinda see you as a dad too."

Techno was quiet and Tommy being, well, half-asleep didn't comment on it or really notice it. He shuffled over on his bed, curling up on his side and letting out a content sigh.

"S'rry, night dad."

It was silent for a second longer before Techno's mic crackled up to life once again, "Yeah, night kid, love you."

"L've you too" Tommy muttered, drifting off completely.

And if in the morning, Tommy remembered what he said and went to Techno apologizing. To which Techno called him an idiot, saying he was honored (and calling Tommy, son), then no one had to know.

And if after that, Tommy started slipping up on calling Techno dad, they were only questioned a little bit (a lot) before they were free of teasing (they never were, they were okay with it though).

Seeing Tommy's tweet about Techno's old set up just made me want to cry. o7 King, we all miss you <3
Hope you enjoyed! 💕 Comments fuel me if you did :D
