Tommy turned around, a smile on his face, his once tense body quickly softened. He quickly ran up to the person and embraced them, maybe it was too hard, maybe they couldn't breath, but Tommy didn't care. He missed them so much.
“Deo, I didn't know you were visiting.” Tommy said his voice was a bit shaky, he was grateful for him being here. Tommy felt tears well up in his eyes.
Deo. The person that was always there for Tommy in times of hardship. The reason he was so confident. The reason why he had the courage to run away. The reason Tommy was okay now.
“I missed you too, Tommy.” Deo said with a soft voice, he had sunglasses on. Tommy always found it stupid, until he found out the reason. Tommy pulled away from the hug, even though he still wanted to keep hugging him.
Tommy just bursted out crying. Tommy felt safe around deo. Tommy found it impossible to hide how he felt around deo. Tommy was so stressed, he finally let it out.
“Woah there, why the tears? I thought you were happy to see me?” Deo joked with a chuckle, he then wiped Tommy's tears with a smile. Deo never judged Tommy at all, that's what Tommy was grateful for.
“I've been so stressed recently, you know? I have two kids. I'm healing villains. The rent is rising. The café might go bankrupt!” Tommy said, panicking and stressing. Tommy found venting about his problems pathetic. Deo never treated it as such though.
“Woah woah calm down there, speak more slowly, what problems are bothering you the most?” Deo asked with a soft tone, showing he wouldn't judge Tommy at all. Deo put a hand on Tommy's shoulder as reassurance.
Tommy sighed, he had a lot of problems, the biggest were the villains and kids. “Okay so I found these two kids, right? They had no parents, so I took them in. I know it was dumb I barely have any money to feed myself! But I couldn't send them to an orphanage, we both know how shit those places are.” Tommy said, speaking more slowly, explaining his problem. Anger showed when Tommy spoke about the orphanages
“You're not dumb, you thought you were doing the right thing, we all know you want no one to experience what you did, and that's okay, it shows you care.” deo replied, his voice as soft as ever, there was no judgment at all
“What if I can't take care of them? What if-” Tommy questioned, about to go into an absolute panic again. Deo then pulled Tommy in for a hug
“You're doing an amazing job, alright? You are doing the best you can and that's all that matters. Now that other problem?” Deo stated, making sure Tommy knew it was going to be okay, that he was doing perfectly fine.
“Oh, yeah, I'm uh healing villains, but it isn't just villains, vigilantes too, and I feel like I'm helping the wrong side! I mean I healed a villain once! But does healing villains and vigilantes make me evil too?” Tommy asked, his voice sounded nervous, he was fidgeting with his hands. Tommy didn't know what deo would think, Tommy thought deo would report him or something. Deo stayed quiet but then just smiled
“You aren't evil. What truly is evil? You're a caring person, that's all. Helping people doesn't make you evil, it never will, alright? I promise, as long as I'm here, I'll support and help you with everything.” Deo smiled while speaking, putting a hand on Tommy's shoulder. Deo tilted his head ever so slightly. Tommy smiled back at him
Tommy just sighed again, “okay enough with my problems, let's head back alright?”. Tommy said quickly changing his attitude, dragging deo out of the café.
Deo was like Tommy's Twin brother. They couldn't be separated as kids. The present not as much, they lived in different countries, but they still tried their best to communicate.
Deo ruffled Tommy's hair while they walked. Tommy tried to attack him but deo quickly moved away. Tommy almost tripped but was able to stop himself
Deo just laughed and Tommy got mad and started cursing at him.
Maybe if Tommy turned around, he would've seen the hero on the building watching them.
