Chapter Text
“I’m telling you, we should’ve left it in the house.” Techno groaned, flinging his head back in frustration.
“First of all, him, second of all, he would’ve exploded?! We were told to kill the family, not some random orphan boy!” Wilbur hit the back of Technos head in frustration.
Techno shrugged, “Just saying.. It would be much easier not to be suspicious walking around town when it’s just us two and not a 15 year old dirtbag walking with us.” Wilbur almost sobbed at his own misery.
“He can FUCKING hear you, you pink pile of garbage.” He buried his hands in his face, “Sorry? I can’t hear losers.” Techno raised a brow.
Yes, Tommy thought these people were insane.
They just stormed mothers house like lunatics, shot every guard they had, set up an explosion and then had the audacity to try and “save” him, utterly disgusting.
Telling their names, they were going to take Tommy back to their house, and then what? Who knew, Tommy’s life was already a mess, what’s a little more.
You might be confused, what's going on? What explosion? Why was Tommy there? Who is Tommy?
You see, Tommy was a freshly fifthteen year old boy. As a kid, he remembers flower gardens with someone, making flower crowns, he remembers baking pies and burning himself, he remembers screams and someone crying before everything went black.
He doesn’t remember what the someone looked, sounded, or acted like, but he remembered that they were kind to Tommy.
Next, he remembers being in a lab, needles, water tubs, baths of salt, and torturing devises, a god awful place for a god awful child, is what they used to say.
And then Mother bought him, like a toy off of the shelf. Tommy liked to use that example: you buy a toy, you love it and play with it everyday, you start to grow tired of it and throw it away into the depths of your room.
For years Tommy had been tortured, and neglected, all because of who he was, and all he wishes is for the past someone to come swooping into his life, hugging Tommy really tight, and flying far away.
But no, instead he was stuck with some fucking wankers.
“We’re going to take you to Niki, she always knows what to do!” Wilbur turned to Tommy, a bright smile evident on his face.
Tommy sneered and looked away, crossing his arms he just wanted X.
X was the name that Tommy decided to give to someone from his past, as in solve the equation and find X, all he needed to do was solve the equation, which happened to be his life.
“Bruuhh, we’re trying to help and he’s hissing at us..” Techno huffed a laugh, god did Tommy wish to punch that smug grin off of the pricks face, but he was way too scrawny.
While Tommy was sulking, they seemed to approach a very cute café. It had pink and white tones on the outside, with cute rainbow ordered flowers on the window sills, it was titled, Nihachu Café.
“Cute.” Tommy said, it was the first thing he had said throughout the entire walk, and the other two were obviously shocked by it.
He started to walk towards the doors, Wilbur and Techno just looked at each other and quickly followed in after him.
The bell rang out through the small area, the tiles were pink, purple and blue but for some reason there was less purple than blue and pink, which Tommy thought was stupid. The tables were all set with four chairs in an orderly manner and it smelled fantastic.
“Coming!” A woman’s voice rang out from the back area, “It’s okay Puffy, take your time!” Wilbur shouted back, grinning like a mad man.
Out came a woman with white, massively curly hair, she had a dirty apron on and weird loaf slippers, but the most eye-catching thing were the ram horns, curling around her head.
Tommy’s mouth fell open in surprise, but quickly shut it when her eyes landed onto him.
“Oh hello! Who are you?” She smiled gently, sticking her hand out.
Tommy looked at the hand as if it just grew another ten pairs of fingers, and then cursed out his entire bloodline, and then spit in it.
Wilbur gasped, “OH MY GOD! Why on earth would you do that?!” he handed Puffy some tissues, “Well what else am I supposed to do?” Tommy frowned, crossing his arms on his chest.
“Shake her hand?” Techno raised a brow, Tommy mocked him and turned away from everyone, “I don’t do.. that..” He huffed.
“I still need an explanation on what's going on..” Puffy smiled awkwardly.
“Yeah, so now we have him and came to you for advice.” Wilbur grinned, settling his chin on his hands, whose elbows were resting on the table.
Puffy sighed, “No wonder he spit in my hand, I would've done much worse if two guys decided to take me from my house which then exploded.”
“You didn’t have to put it that way..” Techno muttered, looking out the window, it was dark and the store had closed a long time ago.
“You kidnapped him.”
“They kidnapped me.”
“We kidnapped him.”
“Great, we all have an understanding, now what?” Techno huffed, throwing his arms up and about in a dramatic way.
Puffy turned to look at Tommy, “Do you know any relatives? Aunt? Uncle? Siblings?” Tommy shook his head, what was he going to say? X? He himself didn’t exactly know who X was, why would they know?
“Alright then.. Before the house, where did you used to live?” Puffy cocked her head to the side, Tommy looked at the two men on the other side of the table nervously, and shook his head.
Puffy looked at Wilbur and Techno, “You don’t want them here?” Tommy nodded, glad that she could understand him.
She checked her watch and looked up, “Well then boys, Phil is probably waiting for you at home, you can skedaddle now.” She did a running motion with her fingers.
Techno got up and stretched, “Finally, let’s go.” He walked straight out the door, not even waiting on Wilbur, “Sorry, thank you, bye bye!” He yelled, running after Techno.
Puffy rubbed her face, and got up, “Here, I’ll get you some hot coco before we talk, okay?” Tommy looked at her confused, “What’s hot coco?” She sighed sadly, “I’ll go get it for you really quick.” She said, winking.
Soon enough, they discussed Tommy's predicament, and decided to let him stay with Puffy and her wife for the time being. Tommy thought it was awesome that a girl could love another girl and was fascinated.
He got introduced to her and behaved better than last time, not spitting in her hand.
They showed him his bedroom which he found AMAZING because it wasn't with safety paddings, it was a real room, and they showed him the different products to shower with.
Since Tommy didn’t grow up in a normal household, they showed him a lot of new food and drinks, they showed him TV movies and series, they showed him affection even though they barely knew Tommy.
They showed that they welcome hybrids, because Niki, Puffys wife, was a mer hybrid.
Although they still didn’t know about Tommy, but he wasn’t ready to show anyone, even himself.
But maybe.. just maybe.. living with them wouldn’t be so bad.
