Tommy loved his friends, he really did.
He loved the chaos that Tubbo, Ranboo and he caused, especially now that all three of them were in the same place. He loved how much more carefree and chaotic he could be with Wilbur and Philza, completely content in the knowledge his pseudo dad and brother would always be there for him, but what -or rather who- he loved the most was George. Being an alpha wasn’t hard in today’s society, but it did have some downsides when both of your parents were betas. Even Tubbo sometimes didn’t get why Ranboo and he would get protective over him being a beta himself, though he learned to just roll with it as just another ‘alpha’ quirk when situations arose.
George however was like his second gender mother. When Wilbur, George and he first met up, both were surprised, George never talked about his second gender, though he didn’t seem ashamed and so they acted like everything was fine, and in a sense it was. Off camera George would call him pup without a second thought and help calm Wilbur down if he was starting to get uncomfortable. Hell, the whole trip where Wilbur carried George was George just releasing calming pheromones that surprisingly helped both alpha’s stay calm it seemed to get a little too out of hand. So yes, Tommy loved George like a parent, so hearing the vile discrimination leave sapnaps lips while Karl, Quackity, and Dream just laughed made his blood boil.
He could even hear ranboo’s small gasp, no doubt upset as well.
The one he was worried about though was George. He had gone quiet the moment Sap started trash talking the opposing team, and he didn’t think the others realized it just yet, though that was about to change.
“Sap! You can’t say that shit, it’s considered rude now, you know that!”
“Look, I know that, but that breeding bitch deserved it, they were definitely cheating, plus you're laughing! You know I don't mean it Dream!”
“I guess-”
“I’m sorry to interrupt but i want to point something out real quick.” Tommy waited for everyone to make noises of agreement before continuing speaking, even relaxing a little when he saw George's little profile light up when he coughed, he felt better knowing his parent figure of sorts would hear this.
After he cleared his throat he felt good enough to talk, knowing his anger had simmered a little. “So, i know you say that it’s all in good fun sap, but how could you say something so insensitive, especially when one of your best fucking friends is a and i quote ‘fucking stupid ass puppy mill whore.” He relished in the silence that descended, knowing everyone was shocked as Tommy didn’t get angry often, but he wasn’t done, not yet.
“And Dream, you sure didn’t try hard to stop him, just laughing even though
you're
courting George, who honestly doesn’t deserve any of this shit. He’s one of the nicest people I have ever met and doesn’t deserve for his friends to slander a second gender when they can’t even control it. Honestly, I thought you were all smarter than this but apparently I was wrong, especially you Karl, what with you having two omega mothers.”
After that he stopped to take a breath, a small cough escaping before taking a deep breath, a little more composed now that he had gotten most of his anger out accordingly. He cleared his throat one more time before finally speaking, voice softening as he addressed George this time.
“Hey gogy, how are you now?” It was quiet in the call as he waited for an answer, ignoring everyone else, well except for Ranboo but that was because he was quiet and seemed to be on his side right now.
Finally after a minute he heard a small sniffle and it brought forth his protective instincts, his wolf out for blood for daring to hurt one of his parent figures. He stifled it however, focusing on George's response. His voice was quiet, but steady and soft when he spoke.
“I’m good pup, thank you for that. I think I'm gonna turn in though.” And with that he hung up, no one able to say anything before he did and without waiting he too hung up, not surprised when Ranboo called not two minutes later in discord, quickly asking if they could add George, to which Tommy agreed.
It wasn’t just Tommy who had started to see George as a parental figure, but Ranboo and Tubbo too, all three having been called pups by George before and it all made them happy in an indescribable way.
Both waited for George to join the call, not surprised when he picked up almost immediately, though the small sniffles had both ranboo and he rushing to console the sad omega. Though George beat both of them, speaking softly.
“Hey guys, are you both okay? I know I rushed out of that call but if guys are upset I can stay on and make sure you're okay.” Both young alpha’s had to take a moment to collect themselves, even though George was no doubt upset with what just occurred between four of his closest friends and boyfriend, he still wanted to make sure they were okay, when nothing even happened to them! After swallowing a lump, tommy went to go speak but was beaten to it by Ranboo, his voice scratchy from doubt swallowing back his tears so not to worry George anymore.
“Yeah yeah, we’re good George. Uh, so um, tomorrow Tubbo, Tommy and I are gonna go out for a bit, no vlogs or anything like that, but we just want to enjoy the outside cause it’s supposed to be nice and we were hoping you would come with? We were also gonna see if maybe even Phil or Wilbur could join too.”
It was quiet as they awaited for an answer, though both relaxed hearing george’s small laugh, a small yes slipping through. After a minute he calmed down enough to speak.
“Yeah, I would love to join you guys! I’ve missed all three of my pups.”
Both Tommy and Ranboo couldn’t help their embarrassed laugh, though they still secretly loved being called pup, though Tubbo was the worse one, blushing profusely even as George hugged him tightly.
“Now, I want both of you boys to get ready for bed if we're going to meet up tomorrow. And tell Tubbo to get ready for bed too. If you want I can do a sleep call if it would make you feel better?”
And both boys didn’t hesitate to say yes, promising to call back and even add Tubbo once they were all ready and situated. They probably would get embarrassed by their slightly childish clinginess later but sleep calls with George were rare and even over the phone his calming presence always put the three of them to sleep. Honestly all three agreed that George would be a good parent once he had kids of his own, and they were looking forward to the day to create more chaos with them as their cool uncles.
