"Did you—No. It can't be. No, no, no, no, no. You can't —he's..." Techno stammers as he lets go of Tommy's collar and bites his nails.
"That's right." Tommy smiles. "I killed him." He stretches his lips further as he grins ear to ear, eyes dilated as they seem to glow poisonous blue.
Techno stands stiff in place by the announcement as he finally drops his hand to the side, gradually clenching them into fists whilst narrowing his eyes.
"I expected for Wil to be the one to notice, though." Tommy ignores the glare being stabbed his way as he casually walks around. "Do you mind telling him where he is?"
"That guy is a graduating student, so he's busy with college. Thus, he has no time to deal with someone like you." Techno sneers. "Unfortunately for me, I dropped out long ago, so I'm the only one here." He adds as he huffs in annoyance.
Tommy clicks his tongue and approaches the man to pat him by the shoulder, but Techno swiftly slaps his hand away.
"Don't touch me." Techno scrunches his nose in disgust.
"You might want to know how I met your beloved brother. It's the least you can do since he already, you know..." Tommy steps back and shrugs as he keeps his smiley face intact.
"Just get it over, will ya?" Techno growls.
"Fine, fine. Hold onto your fucking horse or whatever, alright?" Tommy rolls his eyes as he places both of his hands into his hoodie pockets.

Tommy fell onto the ground and groaned in pain, looking around the streets to scan the area for his poor excuses for brothers, and wondered why he was being brought whatever 'here' this is in the middle of nowhere. He walked around as his eyes darted from one place to another, capturing every moment in curiosity as everything looked so peaceful and shit compared to what he was used to. Back in that hellish place, nothing seemed to resemble a proper building anymore considering all the barricades and junk.
Before he realized, he bumped into someone and lost his balance, falling to the ground with his back.
"Watch where you're going, you son of a bitch! Do you want me to kill you?" Tommy yelled and stood up before facing the bastard who didn't watch where he's going, only to see a splitting image of himself still sitting on the floor. "What the fuck?"
He can see a person who was the embodiment of his innocence, before being forced into facing reality, before being forced to endure every single shitty thing his 'family' ever did to him. Just because it's the fucking apocalypse and no one gave a shit, didn't mean they had to take their anger out on him all the fucking time.
To be honest, long before everything went down to the drain, his life was already shit to begin with.
By the looks of it, either Tommy was transported into an alternate world or timeline but that didn't matter. What mattered right now was that he needed to help his other self, the one thing that he didn't receive in his other world. Even if it's his other self, at least there was a world where he didn't have to suffer from his family all the shitty things in his life.
So, Tommy decided to follow his other self as he figured out the things that were different between them, but so far, he had the same interests as him.
No problem, then!
He finally decided to show up after Another Tommy went out of school to walk all the way home. This was one of the terrible things Tommy jotted down. He knew that every member of his family had a car, so would it hurt them to fetch a sixteen-year-old with one of their four fucking cars? He took a deep breath to calm himself.
Now's not the time to get pissed by lowlifes.
Tommy continued to follow his other self until no one was around and walked behind him, slowly but surely increasing his pace until he was right behind his target. He reached his hand and patted his other self's shoulder, causing the other to flinch violently and whipped around in surprise.
"What the fuck?!" Another Tommy exclaimed as he placed a hand over his chest. "Oh, it's you. Are you my dad's illegitimate son or something?" He blinked a few times before relaxing his shoulders in realization.
"Pfft— No! What the hell, man?" Tommy snorted. That was the first time for a very long time. "To be fair, that's actually fucking hilarious, but no. You could say I'm your doppelganger and I was brought here from another world."
"Doppel-banger? What the fuck is that?" Another Tommy raised a brow.
Tommy wheezed and laughed his ass off after that and later he recovered from his laughing fit, he began to explain his situation, apart from his old life. He didn't need pity even from himself.
Not long after, Another Tommy suggested to call him a different name since it was apparently fucking confusing if they both have the same name. At first, he suggested the name 'Theo' but that only made Tommy's blood boil for some reason, so they settled with 'Tomathy' instead.
Since then, Tomathy and Tommy were exploring the peaceful town and gave him a tour whilst avoiding all of Tommy's acquaintances like a plague. He couldn't risk them knowing about his existence, after all.
Better safe than sorry.
He didn't know how much time had passed but he kind of liked it here. It's peaceful and he didn't have to deal with surviving and his shitty siblings that had a lot of time on their hands to beat him up basically everyday.
Suck his dick, motherfuckers!
This Tommy is finally free from that living hell!
Speaking of hell, he also met Purpled, who had the same situation as him and at some point the guy told him his life story, but Tomathy didn't bother to listen so...
Anyway!
He sprinted down the street and headed towards Tommy's school to fetch him, only to stop and hide in the bushes when he saw him talking casually with Wilbur. Just seeing that smug ass face was making Tomathy's blood boil and wanted to punch the bastard's face. He was about to reveal himself but stopped halfway when he saw Wil saying something with a smile and made Tommy burst into laughter, with the two continuing to do so when they walked towards a car and drove away.
What the fuck did he just saw?
That was an act, right?
There's no way that Wilbur was nice enough to tell jokes or drive his youngest brother home.
Yeah . Tommy was probably pretending to go along with him, so he wouldn't hurt himself.
Well, that's what he thought a few days back until he saw all of their typical 'family bonding' moments when he least expected it.
There were times when he asked Tommy if his friends and family ever ignored him, made fun of him, or if they trip and hurt him on purpose without anyone noticing. There was still the possibility of this family being this good at hiding their ill intentions that they weren't visible on the outside perspective. As if being insulted, Tommy scolded him that they would never do something like that, so Tomathy had to drop the topic.
When they met again, Tommy excitedly told him a story about how his weekend went out, of how he and his family went to the amusement park and tried all the rides, about how they all laughed so hard when Techno fell off the boat or how Phil vomited after the rollercoaster ride.
It went on and on but the ringing in Tomathy's ears drowned all the things he hated to hear the most.
Why was this Tommy loved by his family? Why was this Tommy having fun whilst he wasn't? Why was this Tommy happy when he had to suffer all his motherfucking life?!
━━━━ ❰ · ❉ · ❱ ━━━━
Tommy waved his hand above his head when he greeted Tomathy when he arrived, giving his apologies as to why he was late in their meeting time. Tommy, who was ever the gullible one, ate the excuses like a buffet and believed it.
Tomathy smiled internally about his plan in action. They're currently in the middle of nowhere and the trees served as cover in case someone did come here. His mind kept on screaming blood blood more blood—
Before he realized, he's sitting on top of a Tommy was bleeding all over his face and head, rendering him unrecognizable and when he hovered his hands in front of him, all he could see was red as the screaming voices sang in their graces, licking some of the blood with a grin whilst he's at it.
Later that day, Tomathy dug through his pockets and grabbed his phone, clicking an acquaintance's phone number and dialed it.
"What do you want, Tomathy? I'm busy dealing with my own shit, you know." The voice answered from the other side of the line. "These corpses aren't gonna groom themselves."
"Purpled? I have a job for you. Can you hold a funeral without anyone knowing, right?" Tomathy asked.
"What did you do?" Purpled sighed tiredly from the other line.
"You'll know it when you see it." Tomathy huffed as he smiled, taking a quick glance at the art before staring back at the spilling afternoon light from above the trees.
"Fine, whatever. Give me twenty-four hours." Purpled abruptly ended the call.
"Tch! Useless bitch." Tomathy clicked his tongue before pocketing his phone again.
━━━━ ❰ · ❉ · ❱ ━━━━
Techno's jaw drops as he stares at Tommy's direction in dread.
"How dare you ." Techno grits his teeth and glowers as he clenches his fists so much to the side that they begin to bleed.
"Such a great story, innit?" Tommy smirks.
"Wait till everyone knows this. Considering how that Purple guy treated you, I'm sure he won't hesitate to rat you out." Techno huffs and sneers.
"Oh, you don't want to do that, king." Tommy chuckles mockingly. "Unless you wanna get your family and friends killed, that is." He adds in a whisper from behind Techno before grinning ear to ear.
Techno jolts violently and whips back, swinging his foot with the momentum towards Tommy but in a blink of an eye, Tommy easily blocks the attack with an arm held beside him, cackling loudly as he grabs Techno's leg with both arms and throws him up in the air before dropping him onto the floor like a giant hammer. Techno gasps as the air has been knocked out of his lungs during the landing.
"I made sure to hold back. I don't want the floor and my minion to break down on me." Tommy looks down on Techno's direction whilst crossing his arms.
"I'm not your minion." Techno glowers as he spits the blood to the side.
"You're gonna have to deal with me forever, big brother!" Tommy grins as he says in a high-spirited tone.
This is the best world Tommy has ever lived.
