Chapter Text
He couldnt stop thinking about what Wilbur had said. He sat there in silence. Why'd it hurt so much to hear him say such things? I mean he wasn't really wrong with the whole baby sitting part. Maybe he needed to change.
Tommy wanted Wilbur to feel like his friend. NOT his baby sitter. He got up from his bed and pushed off all the empty screwed up paper off his desk and sat there. He pulled out a Maths textbook and started studying. Two hours pass, Tommy moves onto another text book: this time it being Biology Science. Tommy actually liked Biology, he didn't mind studying it.
3 hours past. His parents arrive home early. They notice non of Tommy's chores had been completed. They didn't care all that much.
However, Tommy's mum wonders up the stairs and walks into her son's bedroom. Hes asleep at his desk, head down on his text book.
Tommy's mum smiled at the sight. She carely put him to bed, she walked out closing the doot behind her.
Tubbo and Ranboo decided to go to Tommy's house to see if they'd be allowed in. They knock on the front door. They are met with Tommy's dad. He welcomes them with a deep smile.
"Hey boys! How can I help ya?" The man responds happily.
"Can we see Tommy?" Tubbo asks smiling back at him.
"Pretty sure Tommy is asleep at the moment, his mum found him sleeping during revision!" His dad sounded shocked as he laughed moving out of the way to let the boys in. They walk into the house and make their way to Tommy's bedroom. They were right, he was asleep. Or so it looked like he was. The devut was covering his face. Sniffling and quiet sobs came from under it.
"Tommy?" Ranboo says , sitting down next to Tommy pulling the blanket away from his face.
He reveals Tommy's red-tomato face, with tears that were streaming down his face.
"Why am I not good enough?" Tommy cries pulling himself closer to his pillow.
"You are good enough Toms. This is about Wilbur isnt it?" Tubbo says joining Ranboo, placing a hand on Tommy's shoulder.
"Of course its about him! I don't blame him for not wanting to be my friend anymore. I am like a 4 year old! I'm nothing but a waste of time." Tommy explodes, crying into the pillow.
"Toms.. i-" Ranboo begins to speak as he is cut off from the distraction of Tubbo rushing to hug Tommy. Tommy sits up and the three sit together in their embraces.
BEFORE THIS
As tubbo and Ranboo leave their spot from behind the slide, Wilbur and his friends notice them running away.
'shit.' Thats what went through Will's mind as he watched the two teenagers he knew well run away.
Tommy definitely was going to know.
Wilbur did love Tommy, they were like brothers.
However this particular moment, he was angry at his little brother. He didn't really mean what he had said all together. He meant it in the moment though. His heart dropped.
"Teenagers and their ease dropping so annoying." One of Wilbur's old friends said laughing, picking back up his drink and taking a large sip.
"Guys I need to go, I forgot I have plans."
His group accepted that and said their goodbyes.
This leaving Wilbur standing outside Tommy's house.
The three end their embrace and just sit in silent for a moment. The door bell goes off, they choose to ignore it and go back to telling Tommy about 'how he doesn't need Will to be happy, be himself' The tears from Tommy never stopped falling. A knock echoed through the wood of Tommy's bedroom door.
"tommy?" A soft,calm voice came through the door.
It was Wilbur.
"fuck off." Tommy demands. wiping the river from this face.
The house stood in silence. Wilbur stood still outside the door. He felt really bad. He made one of his closest friends cry. That was shitty.
Tommy didn't deserve that. He deserved punishment from his parents but not from his friend. He didn't deserve what mean things Wilbur had said to him and about him.
Movement came from Tommy's room. The door opened. Wilbur felt sudden gust of air fly between him and the body that held him tight. He wrapped him arms around him securing the hug. Tommy sunk into his collarbone. The tears started again.
"I'm sorry Tommy. Those things I said were shitty and stupid you didn't deserve that." Wilbur apologised holding his like-brother tight.
"I am trying hard to do better in school Will. I cant do it alone. I've tried. It doesn't work." Tommy sighed depressingly.
Tubbo chips in "what if we all help you? I mean Wilbur's got his grades, me and Ranboo are getting good grades! Let us help you!" Ranboo nods in agreement.
"yeah i'm here if you need me to be Toms."
"I need you to be here Wilby."
The hug grew tighter as Tubbo and Ranboo join in
The hug ended with pure laughter.
Wilbur,Tubbo and Ranboo helped Tommy study. The time of GCSES came around. Tommy ended up succeeding and passing every test! He would forever be grateful for his friends.
However, the pain from Wilbur's actions took a while to heal.
