Chapter Text
I was sitting in my bedroom and I was reading, it was a free day meaning I didn’t have to go to the track. I don’t normally do much in days like this, George is also home so I can always go and bug him. Our dads, Sam and Ponk, aren’t here today, Papa, Sam, is a police guard and Dad, Ponk, is a doctor so they had work.
“Tommy! Can you please get dressed! We need to get groceries and I’m not leaving you home alone!” I hear my brother yell,
“Alright! Give me 5 minutes!” I yell back and get dressed to do some errands with my brother.
We get to the shop and start to grab what we needed, George had the list that was written up, we walked around and grab a few things like, milk, bread, jam, peanut butter, ect. Nothing really interesting, we continued to walk around and I just hear,
“George? Tommy?” my brother and I looked up and saw Quackity and Karl, they looked very different from how they normally do at the track,
“Quackity! Karl! Hey!” George greeted them,
“Ayup!” I said. The two came to us,
“You two look so different,” I said, Quackity was normally wearing blue crop top with black denim shorts with chains and black boots, but here he was wearing a hoodie, sweat pants, vans shoes and a beanie. As for Karl he looked a little the same but instead of his normal white crop top and black shorts he was wearing a white top with a long sleeve one underneath and he was wearing jeans with chains and his normal white sneakers,
“Haha, yeah this is what we normally wear if we want to be comfortable,” Quackity explained,
“You two look great either way,” George said.
“Thanks babe!” Karl jokingly said causing us all to laugh. We said our goodbyes and left.
While we walked back home George said something,
“So, are you dating Purpled?” he asked, I shook my head,
“No, I mean I remember saying ‘I love you’ to him in my head but not out aloud,” I said and he nodded. My brother was the type of person to either like someone or hate them, no in between, I think he may like Purpled but I’m not sure. We got back to the house and I saw a familiar car,
“Oh, dad’s home,” George states,
“Yeah, his car is here,” I said,
‘I wonder why,’ I thought. We enter and we saw our dad sitting at the table,
“Oh! Toms! Geo! You guys are back!” he said and he came to give us a hug,
“Daddd! Don’t call me ‘Geo’ you know I don’t like it,” brother whined and I just laughed.
George was putting the groceries away and I was talking with dad,
“Why are you home early?” I asked,
“Well, I only had a half day! And I can spend the rest of the day with you two, your papa isn’t going to be home until late tonight again,” he said, I sighed and nodded. I can’t say I’m surprised, Papa is a police guard and he monitors the area with the worst criminals, and that part of the jail is inescapable, they call the section “pandora’s vault” that’s because it’s not connected to the main prison and it’s has more security than the main jail too.
“Mmm, I wish he’d take a day off, he really need’s rest,” I said and dad nodded agreeing with me.
It was now nightfall, well it was about 6pm and it was already night,
“Dad! I’m off to hang out with Dream, SapNap, Karl and Quackity!” George called out,
“Stay safe! Also no drinking!” dad said and George left.
“So, how’s the track thingy you two do?” he asked,
“It’s good, really fun and most of the people there are really nice and cool,” I told dad,
“Yeah, I wonder if it’s still the same,” dad said. I got curious, dad and papa met at a café and dad talked about the track,
“What do you mean?” I asked, dad laughed,
“Believe it or not, I use to go there when I was you and your brother’s age, I would be in the booth and commentate about the race,” dad said and I listen to him telling me story.
“Did you also know your papa, he use to race, he stop when we found out Geo was being born, and we decided to get good jobs for you two!” Dad explained.
I didn’t know dad and papa did track racing things, I was surprised.
“Sorry Toms, unexpected emergency call I need to go, I love you stay safe!” Dad yelled, and I hear the door close. It was normal for dad to be called in for work because of an emergency, he was the best after all. I went to my room and laid on my bed, don’t get me wrong, I love my family but…I did wish they weren’t all so busy. I just laid there letting my mind take over me till I heard a knock,
“Tommy? You in there bug?” I hear a familiar voice, my eyes widened. I got up and went to my door and opened to see Papa. He was wearing his normal uniform with a gas mask,
“Papa…” I said, disbelief evident in my voice,
“Hey bug,” he said and I went up and gave him a hug.
“I thought you weren’t gonna be back till late,” I said as Papa made himself some food,
“Well, my boss kinda made me leave and a work mate gave me some of his holidays so I have 3 days off,” he said as he looked to him. I smiled, happy that papa was able to take a break,
“Oh yeah, do you know where George is?” Papa asked,
“He went to hang out with his boyfriend and a few friends, I don’t know when he’ll be back,” I told him,
“Ahh, the boys he met at the track?” he ask and I nodded. Papa looked to me and smiled,
“I remember the track, did dad tell you and George that we use to go there?” he asked I laughed and told him what dad had told me.
Papa and I sat at the table just telling stories, I told him about Purpled and showed him the jacket I was given.
I loved spending time with my family, even if I didn’t seem them a lot like my dad and papa
