The Promise (TommyInnit x Reader)

{a/n: i declare slight trigger warning towards the end.}

[9:37am]
[october 17th]

you woke up from the sun shining in your windows. it took you a few minutes for your eyes to adjust, but eventually you got up. you made your way downstairs into your halloween/fall decorated kitchen to see Clay drinking what appeared to be tea.

"hey y/n, did you see the video?"
"hi clay, and no. what video?"
"oh boy, look at tommy's twitter."

uh oh. what did he do now. you thought. you quickly open twitter and go to tommy's profile to see a screen recording.

a screen recording of you.

a screen recording from the facetime call last night.

you click on it to hear the words tommy said to you:
"sorry if i woke you but um, i got a donation to say what i thought about you earlier, and i wanted you to hear it. i think you are smart, kind, funny, cute, and overall just one of my favorite people. there you go chat."

as you watch, you get that same feeling of pure joy that you experienced the night before. before clay sees, you quickly save the video to your camera roll.

"someone's cheeks are red." Clay laughed.
"oh shut up. where's your boyfriend? George?"
"okay well admit it, you and tommy like each other."
"well... i don't know maybe, maybe not. he's cute, and he's funny, and he has a good personality and-"clay cut you off.
"i bet someone's glad she agreed to go to england with me next month."

oh my god i totally forgot. OH MY GOD I GET TO SEE HIM. your heart was beating so fast. thanksgiving break was in 4 weeks! although it feels like an eternity.

you said goodbye to clay and went upstairs. you needed to get some homework done, and decided to facetime tommy so you had someone to talk to.

he picked up.

"hi y/n!" i'm actually streaming right now. chat say hi"
"oh, hello chat! did you guys see the video? pretty cool huh. well anyways tommy if your streaming i'll just go."

"no no no no! why don't you get on discord or something so that way i can still talk to you."
"aw someone wants to talk to me? haha i'll get on"

you ended the call and moved your homework to your computer desk. you then joined a discord call with tommy.
"i'm back. did you miss me?"

"yes actually. so chat-" he responded, but what he said afterwards became a blur in your mind. did he really miss you? or was that "just a bit". you decide not to think too hard about it, and do your homework.

after 20 minutes of small banter, tommy reads out a donation:
"so y/n, what did you think about the facetime clip? oh boy um so, y/n, what did you think?"

"well honestly, i actually didn't know about it until Clay, Dream, told me to check my twitter, and when i saw it, i just got happy to relive the moment. i thought it was cute. i didn't know tommy had the guts to do something like that."

tommy's whole chat spammed "aw". he will probably say something.

"yeah well, CHAT NO AWWS. CHAT!! CHAT STOP. MODS EMOTE ONLY." yep, you were right.
"tommy don't get mad at them, they speak the truth. that video was a complete aw moment. and besides, you know you love me." you say jokingly.
tommy didn't know how to answer, "okay girl don't get ahead of yourself."

at this moment, your brother walks in.

"oh hey y/n, doing homework?" he asks

"hi clay! and yes actually i'm almost done."

"mhm. talking to tommy i see?" he asks. after he asks this i mute myself.

"yes clay he's streaming. and i'm actually trying to do homework so if you could please leave, that would be appreciated."

"alright, alright. oh wait, um, are you two dating?"

the question hung in the air for awhile. you think back to your last relationship with a boy named Duke. total hunk. all around athlete and an amazing person; or so we thought. a few months in, everything was going great. my life was in its prime. until one day, he snapped. he called me so many terrible things and told me he never loved me.

this is what put me into my depressive state and gave me anxiety.

however after a few days he came back, begging for forgiveness. and then almost immediately asking for sex. when i would tell him no, he would get angry and the whole cycle would repeat. i always say he's an abusive person. but you never saw one bruise on my body.

"y/n?" clay asks with a tone of worry in his voice. he knew about Duke and what happened, and he knew i still thought about him.

"sorry i was just, thinking. anyways we aren't dating. we haven't even met." you responded.

"this is true, but not for long," he says before closing your bedroom door and leaving.

you quickly unmute yourself and talk to tommy, "i'm sorry about that, but i'm actually gonna get going. call me later?"

"is everything alright?" he asks

"call me later?" you repeat.

"uh yeah, if course. call me whenever. goodbye y/n" you could hear worry in his voice as you clicked out if the call. you wonder if you should tell tommy about duke, seeing as the thoughts trouble you sometimes.

a few minutes of deep thinking later, you missed tommy's voice so you click back on the stream. you know you could be talking to him right now, but you don't want to bombard him, so you just watch from a distance.
