    Summary

    He didn’t know when, he didn’t know why, or how, but he knew that at some point in his short life, Tommy had gone from a sheltered little kid to nothing but another teenager, ready to let the world forget him.

    Or

    ‘I don’t know why I still care.’ He confessed after what felt like minutes of debate. ‘Why should I care about what dad thinks- of what Wil and Tech think. It’s not like they’ve ever cared before…if I should care about anyone’s opinion…it should be yours- you’re the one who’s been there for everything I’ve ever done…every class…..award…every panic attack, every relapse…not dad…not Wilbur- not Tech….,’ He went quiet for a second, turmoil ticking away in his brain before letting out an anguished, ‘THEN WHY DO I STIL FUCKING CARE?!’

     

    Or

    Tommy hasn't seen his brothers in years, he's not the same bright-eyed child from when he was 10- and he has the scars to prove it- but he's been getting better, he's been going good- but then his brothers come back, and all of a sudden, the rug's been pulled from right beneath his feet and he finds himself falling back into old habits. And Wilbur can't seem to get past the fact that Tommy isn't the same child he left.

    Summary

    "Don't do anything to him," Tommy manages, heartbeat throbbing and throbbing. "Please."

    Wilbur frowns, but it's Techno who steps forward. "Tommy, he's not going to do anything," Techno tells him cautiously. "You don't need to worry, alright?"

    To you, Tommy would say, if he was stronger. He's not going to do anything to you.

    But he doesn't. Tommy keeps his mouth shut—whatever it takes to stay.

     

    When Techno and Wilbur Soot-Watson anger a bully, it shouldn't be an issue. They are as untouchable as they can get, for students anyway.

    It's unfortunate that Tommy, their foster brother, isn't. Being their soft spot, it only makes sense that he becomes the next target.

    Summary

    Techno nods, shutting the door and sealing Tommy’s fate. “No injuries.”
    The words ring in his head like a bad omen of things to come. Tommy can feel how the word yet is lingering in the air, leaving a bad taste and making him cringe.

    “That’s good.” Phil says and for a second, by some kind of hopeful naivety, Tommy lets himself believe it. “Tommy, do you wanna sit down?”

    Tommy snorts, muttering. “Not like I've got much of a choice, huh?”

    Phil’s expression softens at that, waiting for Tommy to sit down across from him before he starts talking. “I didn’t call your worker.”

    “I know.”

    “Do you want us to?”

    -

    Summary

    The door lamp was on, but Tommy still couldn’t move. The flickering light was welcoming, beckoning him closer.
    The weight of his promise kept him tethered in his spot.
    “Be back before dark,” Phil had asked. One simple thing. It shouldn’t have been hard to follow.
    “I promise.”
    The dark outside begged to differ.

    or; Foster child Tommy breaks a promise and fears the consequence. Phil reassures him that it’s not that big of a deal.

    Summary

    Tommy stood in the hallway for a moment, processing everything that had just happened.

    “Jesus,” he muttered, shaking his head. He climbed the stairs to his room and collapsed into his bed.

    
Raft-where-not safe-comfort?-hold!, his instincts screamed at him.

    “Shut up,” Tommy grumbled back.
    The boy drifted into a restless sleep, hands curled into his own chest, aching to hold something.
