(A/N: Reminder if you didn't read the info chapter, titles with (Example + Example) are not a ship, they are simply the main characters, or have a platonic, brotherly/friend relationship. Titles with (Example x Example) are a ship :]. This story is lacking some dialogue and detail in some places, sorry!

Also this is based off of when Tommy mentioned he suffers from low blood sugar and it greatly impacts his life on one of Quackity's semi-recent videos. I personally don't have much experience with low blood sugar, but tried to do my best researching. I apologize if any information is incorrect. This is not meant to be used for, and should not be used for informative purposes. Entertainment only.)

TW: Needle-like object and small amount of blood

============

Tommy bounced his leg uncontrollably. He was excited, as he was meeting Wilbur again, this time staying at his house for a whole week. His parents were leaving on a business trip, and decided Tommy couldn't take care of himself on his own. While that fact wasn't pogchamp, getting to stay with Wilbur was. After their first meetup, Tommy's dad decided that he trusts Wilbur, especially while knowing how close he and his son were already.

There were five things Tommy's parents kept repeating to him on the way. 1, call them immediately if he was uncomfortable. 2, stay out of trouble. 3, have fun. 4, Make sure to inform Wilbur about his condition. 5, Take proper precautions and procedures due to his condition, and make sure he has his meds at all times.

Tommy suffers from low blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia. The only thing he really has to do regularly is make sure his blood sugar doesn't drop too low. However, like stated earlier, Tommy was bad at taking care of himself. The big reason why his parents wanted Tommy to make sure Wilbur knew so in case Tommy's blood sugar did happen to drop dangerously low, Wilbur could recognize the symptoms and help.

Too bad Tommy was a stubborn little child. No matter how many times his parents reminded him about the list of things to tell his friend in the car, he didn't say a thing about it when he finally saw Wilbur. Tommy tried to tell himself that he didn't want to tell Wilbur because he didn't need the extra help, and that he could take care of himself fine. But in reality he just didn't want Wilbur to know because he felt embarrassed about it. Big man Tommy shouldn't have a weakness, or condition.

They met at a small beach in Brighton at around 3 pm. Tommy immediately went to get in the water, Wilbur joining him. They went out pretty far, but Wilbur wouldn't let Tommy go past where he couldn't touch. Tommy complained, but listened. The waves were already way above their heads where they were, and rough too. It was thrilling though, Tommy would either try and jump over the wave or dive into it. Wilbur either ducked underneath the wave or just let it hit him. Sometimes Wilbur had to go underwater and look for Tommy if he didn't resurface quick enough after diving into a wave, like any good big brother would.

Once Tommy got knocked under before he could recover from the previous wave, and didn't come up for a long time. Wilbur panicked a little and quickly found and dragged the child to the surface. Tommy laughed (after coughing out sea water) but Wilbur did not find it funny and made them go back to the coast. They made sand castles and Wilbur played his guitar for a while, deciding to go back at 6.

"Hey, did you eat lunch?" Wilbur asked as they started the walk to his house.

Sh*t. Tommy had meant to tell Wilbur he needed to eat lunch earlier, skipping a meal like lunch wasn't good for low blood sugar at all. Oh well, they were about to have dinner anyways.

"Uh, yeah, before I got here." He easily lied, and Wilbur accepted it.

The walk from the beach to Wilbur's house wasn't that far, but Tommy already felt his legs growing weak. He started sweating too, despite the cool England breeze. He earned a few confused looks from Wilbur, but he played it off, and Wilbur kept talking about whatever.
