    There's a beat. And then Wilbur says, keeping his voice steady. "They're not here anymore."

    In hushed tones, Tommy says, "They died? Again? Double death? Where did they go, hell times two? Hell squared?"
    Wilbur stares at him blankly before Tommy doubles over, shaking silently and it is clear he was joking.

    "Prick," Wilbur says, but he's smiling too. "Fucking prick. You're the biggest asshole I've ever met."

    Summary

    “Dad, are you sick?” Techno asks, looking up at him from his crib with brown eyes as wide as saucers, and Phil is stunned into silence.

    “Not really," Phil pauses, reconsidering. "Just feeling under the weather a bit, mate. But let’s get you out of bed, yeah?”

    Summary

    The chestplate is wrenched away from him with an unnecessary amount of force. Gritted teeth. I said, do not touch it! How many times do I have to say it, George? Don’t touch the armor!

    “Yeah, that’s the one,” Tommy tells him, and he doesn’t sound too excited about it. George’s index finger brushes the scratch in the front before he turns away to face him.

    “Very well then. I shall take this off and wear it,” George tells them. He pauses, feeling slightly irritated. “Can I have some privacy for that, please.”

    Summary

    “Warmth,” Tommy whined, shoving a hand into the pocket of Wilbur’s trenchcoat which already had one of his own, and Wilbur recognized Tommy’s lying voice. “I need warmth, Wilby.”

    Tommy ran hot, in fact Wilbur’s cold hand immediately soaked up whatever warmth Tommy’s had. Tommy was lying, to comfort him, to love him, and Wilbur wanted nothing more but to feel better again for his brother's sake.

    — Or, the four times Wilbur struggled to stay alive, and the one time it was slightly easier to do the same.

    Summary

    Wilbur whirls around to look at Ghostbur. “It’s not that bad, Ghostbur,” Wilbur says, smiling sympathetically. “Really, there’s so much to do in the void. Did you know it’s endless?” He smiles, snapping a finger in his face. “You can explore! The station’s just a bookmark really… no, that’s wrong, what do you call it, landmark?”

    Ghostbur nods his head, cooperatively.

    Wilbur smiles again, unwaveringly. “Good. Very good, Ghostbur. The station’s just a landmark, as you said so, and you can come back to it whenever. If you want, you can even call out for help, and I’m sure a train will take you back.”

    — Or, a passenger is exchanged.

    Summary

    Dream reaches out to press down a soapy gloved finger on the speaker which sits on the drying rail. Music explodes out of it louder and he smiles, nodding his head to the rhythm, waiting for the usual reaction.

    Sure enough, a second later, George looks up from his kitchen organization with pursed lips.

    “Too loud,” he says, brandishing a cake cutting knife at Dream, who can’t help a strangled cry of joy from escaping. “Turn it down, or else.”

    — Or, Dream and George are domestic as shit when in the kitchen together, but who can blame them? It's a Saturday, they're with their favorite person and Shampoo Bottles plays in the background.

    “Kill them, Ranboo,” Quackity says simply. “Now.”

    — Or, it's Michael's first night sleeping alone. Parenthood and chaotic banter ensues.
