Work Text:
Tubbos eyes slowly started to part open at the sound of the front door opening. Rubbing his eyes gently as a familiar figure came through.
Relief surged through his body at the sight of his boyfriend finally back home, but..
Tommy looked absolutely fucking destroyed.
The smell of alcohol lingered on him. He stumbled trying to get the door locked and shut before tubbo sighed and did it himself.
"Fun night?"
"You ar'nt asleep?"
The brunet shook his head and helped his boyfriend get out of his heavy jacket. Nose scrunching at the foul smell of strong alcohol. He'll have to wash these tonight if it means getting the damn smell off.
And his clothes too. Because tommy practically threw himself on him once the jacket was off. Burying his face in his neck while happily purring.
The ram couldn't help but smile at it, he loved his dumb clingy boyfriend.
But holy shit. He has to go fucking shower.
"I missed you too toms, but you really need to shower boss man."
"m' fine. Bed?"
"Not if you don't shower. You smell like shit, what did you even drink?"
Tommy whined and held his grip on the shorter tight. Determined to keep the other close even with him protesting. "Tommy get up you dick! You're gonna rub it on me!"
The brunet huffed and attempted to escape the others hold, pushing and pulling to get up off the taller blond.
"Toms.."
"Just come to bed tobyy"
He finally managed to escape tommys hold, eyes narrowing in distaste when he smelled his shirt and found that the smell rubbed on to him as well. "You need some water, you definitely need it."
The blond in question sat on the floor. Watching the other leave to the kitchen and fetch some water for him.
Coming back, tubbo made sure to help tommy drink it. The last thing he needs is for it to drop and have to clean water and broken glass. "This'll make you feel better big man."
Tommy drank the glass like he had been completely dehydrated, almost drinking it all in one go before tubbo pulled it away. Setting it on the coffee table before attempting to pick the blond off from the floor.
After a lot of trial and error he finally managed to get his boyfriend up. Dragging him to their shared room as the demon hybrid whined in protest. Almost falling and stumbling countless times on the way there.
Making sure tommy doesn't go onto the bed, he set on the water and plugged the drain. Checking the water until it was hot enough for the both of them. (And if he took advantage to add as much bubbles and soap as he wishes to the water, who's gonna stop him?)
He turned around and found tommy laying on the floor half asleep.
"Tommy?"
The blond whined in response and buried his face on his knees and hands.
"Tommy no. You can't sleep on the floor."
"Well you wont let me sleep on the bed. So im sleeping here."
"We have to bathe tommy. I stink because of you"
Tommy shook his head and chose to ignore his boyfriend. Before the shorter slinked down and tugged his face up to cup his head.
"We can bathe and then go to bed."
"..And cuddle?"
"And cuddle."
Tommy frowned lightly before letting the ram hybrid help him get up and help strip his clothes off of him until they were both naked and ready to go in the bathtub.
"How was it? Was it fun?" He began, both finally settling inside the tub while he grabbed the shower loofahs.
"Nmhm. Drank lots. Wish you were there tubs"
Tubbo affectionately got closer to him and pecked his cheek before lathering him up in soap. Asking questions about the party without minding the slurred and tired responses.
"We're almost done yeah? Then you can brush your teeth and go to bed."
"I was fine. Did'n have to do this at all anyways."
"Yeah well i would have put you to sleep out in the backyard big man" he joked light heartedly.
Tommy, did not see that as a joke apparently.
Tubbo was about to rinse him off before he heard a sniffle.
Looking up with worry he saw tommy pouting and frowning to the side. "Tommy?"
"You don' love me"
"What?"
"You said you'd make me go sleep in the backyard because i didn't want to shower."
The ram hybrid couldn't help but snort in response at the childish reaction. Rolling his eyes as tommy glared at him with an annoyed and 'hurt' expression. "You'll live."
The other only looked away and chose to ignore him for the rest of the bath. Getting up to dry off himself (and almost slipping in the process) before begrudgingly allowing his lover to help dry him off himself.
They settled in comfortable pajamas while tubbo was busy drying and brushing his hair as tommy brushed his teeth to get the alcoholic taste and smell off of it.
"Better?"
Tommy barely gave a reaction and simply flopped down onto the bed. Content in falling asleep as his boyfriend joined to snuggle himself beside him. (Not like he was to complain.)
Tubbo smiled and gave a small peck on his lips. Making tommy crack an eye open to meet the others gaze and give a small lazy grin up at him.
"So?"
"Yeah. m'better"
Both pulled each other close and indulged in their shared body heat. Purrs erupting from both their throats before falling asleep against one another.
And if tommy woke up and got scolded (affectionately) by tubbo for coming home late, teased for what he did once home and at the party. Then does it matter?
No. (Well sort of.)
All that mattered was that they fell asleep content and happy together embraced in each others arms.
...And tommy's never going to drink again. Holy shit, hangovers are something he never wants to experience ever again.
