Good enough- a TommyInnit Fanfic

Part 9!

Tubbo sat on a cold, metal bench outside of Tommy's hospital room, rocking back and forth. Next to him, Wilbur was on the phone with an extremely anxious FatherInnit. Techno was also doing something on his phone while the rest of the group went to grab everyone some food. As Tubbo started to pick at his fingers, the doctor came out of Tommy's room.
"He's alright; he just passed out from lack of nutrients. It seems by the look of him and the few tests we ran he hasn't eaten for weeks, possibly months. His body didn't have enough energy, and he couldn't support himself, so he collapsed," he explained empathetically to the three friends and Fatherinnit on the phone.
"W-when will he wake up?" Tubbo asked. He missed his best friend more than anything. The doctor smiled comfortingly at him, "Give him an hour or two, and he should be up. With permission from the parents, we would like to get him hooked up to a feeding tube temporarily to help him get something in his system." The doctor studied the three boys, clearly none of them old enough to be the boy's parent.
"That's fine," a voice came from Wilbur's phone.
"Okay," the doctor nodded and put on another smile, "I'll have a nurse call you and make sure you are actually his legal guardian." He got the phone number from Wil, and before leaving the room, he said, "You're allowed to go see him if you'd like."
As soon as the doctor turned the corner, Tubbo rushed into the room; he couldn't wait to see his friend any longer. As he entered and saw his best friend hooked to all these machines with tubes and wires, he couldn't help but gather a few tears in his eyes.
"Th- That's not Tommy..." he said, a tear rolling down his cheek. The Tommy he knew- and everybody knew- was strong and unyielding. This Tommy looked weak and broken. Tubbo looked up at Wil, who had just gotten off the phone with Fatherinnit.
"I know Tubs. I know," Wil hugged the smaller brunette, letting him cry into his shoulder. He needed it; Wil about burst into tears as well, seeing the two boys he saw as his younger brothers, one in tears in his arms, the other in a hospital bed.
A while later, Tubbo calmed himself, and he and Wil sat down in some chairs around the room. Tommy's parents weren't going to be able to catch a flight to Florida, so Wil promised to call them as soon as Tommy woke up. Tubbo slowly started to drift off to sleep, exhausted, crushed, and overwhelmed from the events of the day.
"Tubbo, are you alright?" Wil asked the boy in a hushed voice. His reply was a couple soft snores. Wil chuckled and also gradually shut his eyes, drifting off to sleep.
~~~Technos POV~~~
Walking into the cut up atmosphere of Tommy's hospital room, I noticed Tubbo and Wilbur passed out on some crappy little plastic chairs next to Tommy. Tommy was up hooked to various machines, and it was in no way at all calming to see the kid I think of as a little brother in those conditions. I had felt something was off, but I had never felt the need to mention it. Why Tommy? He was the last person you would think of that wouldn't be alright. He was supposed to be running around, having fun with his friends this week, not stuck in a hospital. I had to turn away from him to keep myself from tearing up.
On the return of the rest of the boys, the food caught Wil and Tubbo's noses, arousing them. None of us knew what to talk about; Tommy was usually the person who would start up all our conversations. How could none of them have noticed how thin Tommy had become and how little he was eating? I didn't want to blame them because, of course, they realized; they just thought nothing of it. I was guilty of the same thing. Now all I could do was stare, being unable to help him. It was the most distressful feeling. He would be waking up any minute; we just had to play the waiting game.
~~~Tommys POV~~~
I heard voices around me, though I couldn't tell how loud or quiet they were. But they were there. I struggled to open my eyes, using all my strength, and quickly tired out. Why would they not open?
Weak, the little voice in my head hissed. No, I wasn't weak. I could do it, I just needed some rest. I could slightly hear the voices as they quieted down or became louder, though nothing was clear. I did manage to decipher Wil and Tubbo's voices with their accents and Fundy's Dutch accent. I still couldn't figure out what they were saying, but I could tell everyone was there. For me... they were all at the hospital or wherever they were for me.
What happened?
I couldn't remember exactly, my memory was fuzzy, but I could remember the pool and going to grab a couple drinks. I remembered the sudden light-headedness and dropping to the ground. If only I could've opened my eyes. If only I could speak. I wanted to be able to talk to them and apologize; they should be out having fun, but they weren't because of me. I mustered up all the strength I had and opened my mouth.
"I'm sorry," I tried. It came out as more of a croak than anything, but it was the best I could do.
~~~Wilburs POV~~~
My head snapped around to look at Tommy. Was that him? What was that?
"T-Tommy?" Tubbo said timidly, excitement binding his voice. Very slowly, Tommy's eyes opened, wincing at the bright lights. He looked so... small. I wanted to say something, but I was incapable.
"Take it, slow buddy; you're still not stable," Dream said, obtaining a meager grin from Tommy.
"Tommy!" Tubbo exclaimed as he ran over to his friend, giving him a small hug with tears in his eyes.
"Glad to see that you are alive," Eret said, earning some yeses from the other.
"Hey," Sap stepped next to the bed Tommy was laying in, "I just wanted to say sorry, I haven't been the nicest this trip to you and-" Sap started to apologize, but he was interrupted by Tommy's voice.
"You're all good, you didn't know. No one really knew," Tommy said with a cheap smile. Techno was standing, looking relieved before he grinned.
"I'll go get the doctor so he can check on you, then you can call your parents," he slid out of the room, leaving Tommy lying on the bed with now fearful eyes.
