Despite what everyone thinks Tommy 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 in fact have friends outside of streaming. Tommy knows he got extremely lucky in the friend department. Outside of his online friends and siblings he’s got his two best mates. Eryn and Freddie who are genuinely two of the best motherfuckers on this planet. They have a knack of cheering him up when all he wants to do it be sad and alone. Truly he loves those idiots.
Lately they’ve been coming around more after the stream from hell. Which Tommy both complains about and is extremely grateful for. The two take such great pleasure in dragging him out of his comfy bed. Those fuckers. But they’re hilarious, Eryn makes pog Mac cheese, and Freddie gives the best hugs so Tommy will let them get away with it for now.
Both Eryn and Freddie had their own keys to Tommy’s house and they abuse the fuck out of that privilege. Tommy’s parents didn’t even bat an eye when either boy let themselves in and make their way up to Tommy’s room on the daily. Both parents casually take turns turning up the kitchen radio as both boys occasionally wake up Tommy leading to their son shrieking. Neither of them seemed bothered when Freddie bounded down the stairs with Tommy slung over his shoulder swearing. Or when Eryn causally whistled as he let them all out.
So as you could see Tommy 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 be used to both idiots barraging into his room. And yet he was baffled when both boys causally strolled in mid stream.
“Sup fucker,” greeted Freddie causally as Eryn walked behind him waving.
Tommy made a noise in the back of his throat as he glanced away from his monitor to stare blankly at his friends,” what the 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬 are you doing here,” he practically hissed before letting his eyes dart over the flashing the words reading live.
“You said you weren’t doing lore right?,” Eryn asked with a smirk.
“I- well yes but what the fuck-,” Tommy bit out with wide eyes.
Freddie clapped his hands with a large shit eating grin,” then this all works out then,” he beamed before making way to Tommy’s desk chair and trying to squeeze into it.
Tommy yelped as both of his friends made their way to sit in his chair with him in it. Eryn perched on the arm of his chair on the left side while Freddie didn’t take no for an answer and maneuvered himself so he was next to Tommy. Tommy made a weird annoyed noise as he was maneuvered into sitting slightly on top of Freddie. After they got settled Tommy stared into his camera like he was on the office as his face practically screamed “you seeing this shit.”
“I fucking hate you,”Tommy sighed tilting his head back letting it rest on Freddie’s shoulder.
Eryn laughed out,” oh you fucking wish.”
Tommy grumbled,”shut the fuck up bitch boy,” as he nudged his head harder into Freddie’s shoulder before asking,” why the fuck are you losers here anyways?”
Freddie hummed,”we were overdue some Tommy time.”
Tommy turned to give Eryn a completely unimpressed look before raising his eyebrow.
Eryn snorted before saying cheerfully,” we were extremely bored.”
Tommy rolled his eyes before smiling slightly,” you guys are idiots,” he sighed out.
“𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 idiots,” Freddie pointed out with a smirk.
Tommy huffed out a laugh before sighing,” unfortunately you are,” causing them all to laugh.
After they got control of their laughter Tommy got a glance at his monitor causing him to yelp and dive slightly forward to grab his fallen headphones. Chat was going absolutely insane. Plus a few people were spamming for Wilbur and Phil.
Freddie and Eryn laughed at Tommy as he put his headphones on his now messy blonde hair while glaring at them. Immediately Tommy was hit with the confused and amused voices of a few of his friends.
“This was 100% not my fault and I would technically call this an attack,” Tommy shot out with zero hesitation causing Wilbur to cackle.
“Lmao Tommy can’t even control his own friends what a loser ha,”Techno chortled.
“I’m glad you’re alright mate when you suddenly stopped talking we got a bit worried,” Phil causally said.
“Lol not me I relished in the silence,”Techno added.
Tommy rolled his eyes as he shot back,” shut the fuck up bitch boy I am a gift to humanity and we all know it,”causing them all to snicker.
“We hate to break up this oh so 𝘸𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 time but we’re gonna be stealing Tommy now,” Eryn chimes in.
“We already set up a blanket fort in the living room all we had to do was collect our local loud twig,” Freddie added.
Tommy’s spluttering was ignored while Eryn added,” Tommy was probably going to end the stream in five minutes since he hates long streams anyways.”
Both of them turned to look at Tommy who was now pouting,” shut the fuck up,” he muttered.
Freddie and Eryn shared a nod before addressing chat,” well I hope you enjoyed Tommy’s stream we’re honored that we spiced up the last minutes of it,”Freddie beamed.
“Tommy will probably be streaming soon because he’s a workaholic,” here Eryn ignored Tommy’s offended noise and continued,” so bye guys ,” and with that he clicked end stream.
Immediately Freddie grabbed Tommy’s headphones off of him and plopped them onto his own head while saying out loud “yoink.”
Once they were on his head Freddie chirped,” well this was a fun experience for all of us but we on this side of the screen are overdue for some good ol Tommy time.”
“So you’re just stealing Tommy from us?,”Wilbur questioned with a raised eyebrow.
“I mean it’s not technically stealing if we don’t mind him being taken,” Techno dryly shot back.
“I- Techno!!?,” Wilbur squawked making Phil chuckle.
“Have fun boys.Feel free to message me later Tommy,” Phil got out with a smile.
Before Tommy could say anything both of his friends said at the exact same time,” bye bitches,” before hanging up his discord call.
Tommy didn’t even have a moment to think before Freddie took the headphones off and slung him over his shoulder. Unfortunately this wasn’t anything new so Tommy just pouted at Eryn who was snickering at him as he scooped up Tommy’s phone for him. Freddie walked them both down the stairs carefully while humming.
“You guys suck,”Tommy murmured with a slight smile as they arrived at the bottom step.
“Uh huh sure we do,” Eryn drawled before cackling as Tommy was dropped into the fort letting out an “oof “ as he fell.
Both boys crawled into the shitty pillow fort they built on either side of Tommy. Tommy for his part just rolled his eyes as they wordlessly put on two random Disney movies. Somewhere along the line Eryn started to run a hand through Tommy’s hair. Eventually Tommy tipped into Freddie fast asleep. Both boys let out a relived sigh when their younger friend fell asleep.
“I’m surprised that still works,” Eryn muttered still running a hand through Tommy’s hair.
“It always has,” Freddie murmured back playing with Tommy’s fingers as he has been all throughout the movies.
Eryn brushed the bangs out of Tommy’s face and as he saw light bags under his eyes sighed,” still he hasn’t been sleeping.”
Freddie hummed as he rubbed the cold hand of the asleep teen,” don’t worry we’ll work on it. I mean he’s got us after all.”
Before either of them could keep talking Tommy’s phone exploded with notifications. They both shared a look before Eryn with his free hand scooped it up and opened it with his thumb print.
“What the fuck is the Sibling Squad?,”Eryn muttered confused as he scrolled through the group chat for a few seconds before handing it to Freddie.
Freddie read a few messages before humming out,”looks like our little twig over here has been a busy busy boy.”
Eryn snorted leaning over as they both read more messages. As they scrolled he absentmindedly kept a hand moving in Tommy’s hair.
“You know what we have to do right?,”Eryn asked with a slight smirk.
“Oh I’m 𝘸𝘢𝘺 ahead of you,” Freddie shot back with a grin as he added both of them to the chat.
Freddie shifted as Eryn maneuvered Tommy into a more comfortable position before handing Freddie his phone and pulling out his own.
Freddie: listen up you fuckers me and Eryn are the real og siblings so you best know your fucking place
Eryn: and if you don’t believe us.....
Freddie: ( a picture of Tommy around 6 years old holding a huge orange cat missing two teeth and beaming at the camera. Stood next to him is Freddie laughing mid photo.)
Wilbur: oh you fucker-
Eryn: ( a picture of a 8 year old Tommy with his tongue stuck to a frozen pole while it was snowing. Both Freddie and Eryn were in the picture looking freaked out but Tommy looked smug. You could see his neon red braces.)
Freddie: don’t forget your places bitches :)
TommyInnit removed Eryn & Freddie from the Chat.
Freddie and Eryn deleted their messages they sent off of Tommy’s phone before sharing a smug look with one another.
“We got this shit,” hissed Eryn with a triumphant grin.
Eryn nodded with a large smirk,” hell yeah we do.”
And this was the start of the so called “war” between the self proclaimed og siblings and the sibling squad.
Over the next two and half weeks the two would steal Tommy’s phone to add themselves to the chat, share photos, brag, then unadd themselves. All of the sibling squad members were going absolutely feral. But before they could do anything Eryn had a brilliant idea.
TommyInnit has added Eryn & Freddie
Eryn: how about we make a deal for you to not tell Tommy about our feud?
Freddie: we have something you won’t be able to refuse :)
Wilbur: I call bullshit
Techno: what Wilbur said
Minx: you fuckers have nothing
Puffy: facts ^
Eret: ^
Jack: oh shut up you pricks
Quackity: ^
Karl:^
Ranboo: what could you possibly have to offer us?
Dream: well?
Eryn: ( a recent video of Tommy sitting cross cross covered in butterflies. Tommy looked very startled and worried but awestruck. There was also there cats sunbathing around him. Tommy let out a slight giggle as one butterfly landed on his nose)
Freddie: well ?
Wilbur: damn you fuckers are good
Wilbur: you have a deal for now
So Eryn and Freddie kept taunting the sibling squad for an entire week. Luckily for them they bribed them with adorable pictures of Tommy to keep them placated. Afterall sharing 𝘪𝘴 caring. However Freddie came up with an ingenuous idea while Eryn was keeping Tommy busy.
TommyInnit has added Eryn & Freddie
Ranboo: oh god what now
Freddie: Dream how about a shoutout for me and Eryn?
Dream: why the fuck would I do that?
Freddie: you have the most clout
Wilbur: ex-fucking-cuse me?
Freddie: plus I’ll give you the cutest video of Tommy in existence :)
Dream: deal
Freddie checked Twitter five minutes later before fulfilling his end of the deal.
Dream✅: follow badlinu & cyberonix
Freddie: (a video of a 7 year old Tommy petting a deer. Tommy practically had stars in his eyes . He let out the most cutest gasp when another deer showed up.)
Freddie: pleasure doing business with you :)
TommyInnit removed Eryn & Freddie from the Chat.
Freddie gave a quick thumbs up to Eryn who gave him a quick nod before he tackled Tommy to his bed. Freddie grinned warmly at the screeching teen. They were 𝘵𝘩𝘦 best siblings. No completion.
The very beginning of week two went by with Eryn and Freddie bragging even more. Fortunately for them they started what they called “business deals.” If either Eryn or Freddie wanted something they’d offer pictures or videos of Tommy in return. And they made sure to inform Techno that blackmail material was in fact included.
The og siblings found it hilarious how the squad members would fight each other to get the pictures first. Wilbur especially was always ready which wasn’t that surprising. Unfortunately their brilliant plan to prove themselves the better siblings got found out rather quickly. Never let it be said that Tommy fucking Innit isn’t smart.
Tommy just 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘸 something was up. Eryn and Freddie were way too smug nowadays. They were acting more sus than Jack. And the sibling squad members were constantly trying to hang out. Whether it be streaming ,recording youtube videos, or just hanging in a call. What was even more strange was by how 𝘫𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘴 they all seemed whenever Tommy had to excuse himself to hang with Eryn and Freddie.
“Are you sure you don’t want to hang around toms?,” Wilbur asked with a hint of pleading in his tone,”it’s gonna be fuuuun!”
Tommy huffed out a laugh before shooting back,”I’m sure it will be but Eryn and Freddie are waiting for me and we’re gonna try to make donuts in my kitchen.”
“Of fucking course it’s them,” Wilbur muttered under his breath glaring briefly at his monitor before looking at Tommy with a smile,” well I hope you have fun bubs! Feel free to call me later tonight!”
“Bye Wilbur,” Tommy slowly said looking at the musician with narrowed eyes.
“Bye bubba!,” Wilbur got out before hanging out.
“What the fuck did he mean by ‘of fucking course it’s them’,”Tommy muttered under his breath.
He glared at the monitor mentally vowing to figure this shit out. If there’s one thing he hates it’s not knowing shit. Luckily for him he would soon would catch his friends in the act on a surprisingly sunny Wednesday afternoon.
Tommy just wrapped up his stream as he sat in his desk chair with furrowed eyebrows as he thought about the stream. Wilbur kept jokingly threatening to ask his mother for baby pictures,Techno kept muttering something about reckless actions?, and Phil kept cooing whenever he mentioned animals. Which was fucking 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥 shit to happen in such a short time.
As he continued to run through all the weird shit that happened on stream he heard Eryn and Freddie let themselves in. In a few minutes Eryn was trying to wrestle Tommy onto his bed so they could play Animal Crossing together. As Tommy hit the bed he briefly caught a glance of Freddie typing on his phone. Tommy shoved Eryn off before standing up.
“What the fuck are you doing??,”Tommy questioned.
Eryn and Freddie looked like deers caught in headlights as they stared blankly at him before Freddie sighed out,”you wouldn’t believe me if I said we were doing nothing would you.”
“Absolutely fucking not,”Tommy replied ,”so come on fess up.”
Before Tommy could explode Eryn starts to explain,” well the other week we noticed you were in a groupchat labeled sibling squad. So when you were asleep-...,” here he trailed off slightly.
With zero hesitation Freddie continued,” we added ourselves to the groupchat to assert dominance as your better siblings.”
Tommy blinked as he tried to comprehend that,”how??,” he asked.
“We bragged about knowing you longer and having photos of you when you were younger,”Tommy muttered so that’s why Wilbur asked’ before Eryn continued,” and that obviously enraged them. So we made a deal with them. We give them photos-.”
“They give us clout,” Freddie finished with a grin.
“You’re not mad are you?,” Eryn asked looking at the younger teen.
Tommy groaned as he flopped backwards on his bed before snickering,”I’m not mad. I just think it’s funny that my siblings are essentially having a war and constant business transactions to assert dominance.”
Eryn snickered as Freddie snorted,”it’s not like they’re giving us an actual 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 for dominance. We’re crushing them.”
Tommy made sure to sit up and pat Freddie’s shoulder,” I’m sure you are,” he cooed mockingly before bursting out into laughter as Freddie yanked him into his arms and gave him a noogie.
“I’d hate to interrupt your fun,”chimed Eryn,” but -are you going to stop us Tom?”
Tommy hummed thoughtfully as he felt both boys look at him for his answer,” I don’t think so?,” he offered a tad bit uncertainly,”you guys don’t actually hate each other and it’s all in good fun right?,” he asked.
Freddie and Eryn shared a look with one another before they both nodded.
Tommy sighed,” as long as it’s in good fun then I don’t see why you guys can’t keep up this so called ‘war’,” Tommy made sure to make quotations with his fingers around the word war.
Freddie whooped as Eryn tackled Tommy into his bed. Once again whileTommy was fending off Eryn he missed the look both boys gave each other.
Everybody knows that things like this can get out of hand 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 quickly. And get out of hand it did.
Tommy felt way better now that he knew what was making the sibling squad members act all weird. Still as three days went by he watched as they got a tad bit... nastier? Never to him. But in regards to his friends. And Eryn and Freddie seemed to be enjoying the sibling squads annoyance and jealously 𝘸𝘢𝘺 too much. Which Tommy was 𝘯𝘰𝘵 going to allow to continue.
The final straw of this whole “war” was when Dream made an offhand comment while he was streaming the other day.
“You know I don’t really get certain creators. Some of them are just so annoying or strange and they make it their brand,” here Dream paused to laugh slightly before muttering,” like Cyber and Badlin.”
What really made Tommy pissed was how Wilbur, George, Sapnap, and Quackity agreed with what Dream said immediately. Tommy closed Dreams stream silently as he rubbed his forehead. Right. This whole thing has gone on for 𝘧𝘢𝘳 too long. Tommy waited until everyone was done streaming before he created a groupchat and added everyone into it.
TommyInnit added 9+ members into “the get along groupchat aka I’m sick of this shit”
Tommy: this whole feud thing between you guys is over. You’re all going to stop this now.
Eryn: but we have to prove we’re the alpha siblings!
Techno: yeah no
Dream: you guys 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩
Minx: in your fucking dreams
Tommy: I don’t have even patience for this shit
Wilbur: toms listen
Tommy: no I am not going to listen. It was a fun time when this was a whole joke thing between you guys. But this is just getting out of hand and nasty. So you’re all going to get your heads out of you asses and listen to me.
Phil: mate....
Tommy: I care about all of you equally. There is no “asserting dominance” or “favorite squad”. I’m getting fed up with you guys turning on each other and dragging one another whenever you get the chance. So I’m putting a stop to this the only way I know how.
Puffy: sweetheart-
Tommy: until you all grow the fuck up and get along I’m not going to talk to any of you. I’m sick and tired of this shit. You’re all my friends and my online siblings. Act like it. I’ll make another chat in like four days. Get your shit together
TommyInnit removed 9+ members from “the get along groupchat aka I’m sick of this shit”
Tommy exited discord with a groan before rubbing his eyes. Well that was that. He bit his lip as debated whether he made the right choice or not. Tommy sighed as he released his lip from his teeth. What was he going to do now that he had to ignore them? Who was he going to stream with? A sudden ping of a notification got his attention. Corpse invited him to play with him and his friends again. Tommy let a smirk slowly fall onto his face. 𝘖𝘩. This could work.
If there is one thing all his friends had in common it was jealousy. Which Tommy shamelessly wasn’t afraid to exploit. So over the next four days Tommy was practically an honorary member of Corpse and his friends. The masked man was kind and his friends never seemed to mind that Tommy was playing with them.
Clips after clips of cute moments of Tommy and Corpse and co started to speed on Twitter. A famous clip was when Corpse said jokingly “it’s like when your little brother is standing in your bedroom door and refuses to leave until you play with him” in regards to him inviting Tommy. Another clip that was very popular was him fondly calling Tommy “little devil” to match with his whole demon persona. To add even more fuel to the fire Sykkuno also said on stream whole addressing people spamming Tommy’s name in chat,”Tommy? What about Tommy? He’s very fun to play with.Seriously he makes us laugh so much.”
As the four days went by Tommy felt more and more smug that his plan would work. It also helped that Corpse and his friends kept him entertained so he couldn’t overthink too much. The masked man became an older brother figure to him by the end of the four days. Which wasn’t a shock in all honesty. As did Sykkuno. And all of Corpse’s friends were on very good terms with Tommy by the end.
On day four Tommy created a new chat to see if his plan worked.
TommyInnit added 9+ members into “I’m back & you fuckers better have your shit together”
Almost immediately he was spammed.
Techno: (the welcome home cheater meme)
Wilbur: Tommy we’re getting along now please come back
Dream: please it’s been so boring without you
Ranboo: I can confirm we have made amends
Quackity: the war is over
Minx: we would have won tho-
Puffy: m i n x
Minx: the war is fucking over! We have a truce or some shit
Karl: we’re practically buddies now !
Eret:don’t lie to him that’s rude
Eret: we did make a truce though
Niki: we no longer crave violence
Jack: for now
Niki: for now :)
Tommy huffed out a laugh before running a hand through his hair. After a few seconds of thinking he started to type.
Tommy: Freddie? Eryn?
Freddie: we have put aside our differences and have made a truce
Eryn: ^ we’re no longe fighting Tom
Tommy: good I hate it when you fuckers fight
Tommy:I missed streaming with you all
Immediately after Tommy sent that he paused before smirking.
Tommy: although Corpse and his friends were extremely fun to hang around
And they all fucking 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘥.
And if from this point on Tommy used Corpse and his friends as a metaphorical spray bottle to control his siblings? Well I guess all you can say is that he’s never one to turn down an opportunity.
