Chapter Text
a loud crash
a flash of bright light
screams
pain
blood
a boy crying for his brother
his eyelids slowly flutter shut-
-
“-Tommy, you alright?”, Wilbur asked, shaking him awake.
“Yup, never been better big man!”, Tommy answered, incredibly convincingly.
He just had a nightmare. Nothing to worry about, but not something he would ever admit. Big men don’t get scared.
“You sure? You were screaming a few minutes ago and you’re covered in sweat”, Wil replied, seemingly worried.
“I’m fine Wil, drop it”, Tommy replied, slightly annoyed.
“Okay, okay! Just making sure”, the brunette raised his hands in mock surrender, “You want any breakfast?”
“Yeah, whatever”, He answered and Wilbur left the room.
Tommy looked around his room. It was the same as always.
Carpeted floor, beige walls and posters plastering the walls. A desk stood underneath his window overlooking the back garden and his bed with cherry red bed sheets stood in the corner.
Something looked a little off though, there was a weird note on his desk. But that was surely nothing to worry about!
He got up and got dressed as usual. The blonde pulled over a weather he stole from Wilbur, it smelled of him.
Tommy went to the bathroom to wash his face. He looked in the mirror.
A little boy screaming for help, to be let out.
pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease-
There were slight bags under his eyes, but other than that he looked pretty aliv- I mean good. His blond curls stuck up in all directions and his sky blue eyes almost sparkled.
He walked down the creaky steps of his family home, looking at the pictures mounted all over the walls.
His first day of school, the twins at their highschool graduation, their parents wedding day. So many memories, they almost feel like a blur.
Tommy jumps over the last few steps and looks into the kitchen. Techno sits at the kitchen table sipping his coffee, looking half asleep. Wilbur is nowhere to be found and their dad is cooking breakfast.
Pretty standard morning.
“Morning, mate!”, Phil greets in a cheery tone, whilst Techno barely reacts at all.
The teen sits down at the table and Phil places a plate in front of him.
Suddenly Wilbur burst in, but there is something seriously wrong, it almost makes Tommy vomit.
Half of his brothers face is missing. Bloody and ripped off. The rest of his body is covered in deep cuts and there is glass in his face and arms. His glasses are broken. Tommy can see his ribs-
No.
There is nothing wrong with Wilbur. He is completely fine and exceptionally cheerful.
Everything is fine.
