Tws: crying, trans male Tubbo, Tubbo on his period, small panic attack
——————————————————————————————————————————————————
The things that awoke Tubbo went in this order. headache, sunlight, cramps, downstairs sound.
he groaned and sat up. he rubbed his aching head and made his bed before going downstairs.
The kitchen was usually, Tubbo whining about food, philza trying to console him, and technoblade stubbornly making Tommy new food.
"Morning Toby" philza said with a warm but sleepy smile
Tubbo sluggishly waved and opened the fridge.
but while he was looking through it, the room went silent. Tubbo only noticed it once he had poured himself some orange juice, seeing everyone staring at him.
"Toby, you're bleeding dumbass." Techno said bluntly, not caring to look up from the pan on the stove.
Tubbo didn't understand until turned his head to look at the back of his shorts.
His face lit up with blush and he slammed the fridge door shut and ran upstairs
The stairs thumped under his quick feet before he hastily shut and locked his bedroom door.
He wasn't necessarily embarrassed, well- he was, but he also trusted the others to not tease him.
He was more upset about his period. He hated it. It was the worst time ever. Not only were the cramps hell, but it was a reminder that he had a uterus and it was trying to kill him.
he could feel panic rising in his chest as he collapsed on his bed and started to breath more heavily.
it felt like the air burned his throat and he felt like his chest was on fire. He could feel the dam holding his tears crack.
he let out a dry sob as he held his chest. He suddenly became very aware of his cramps and the feeling of blood in his boxers.
he shakily got up, crying and breathing deeply as he stumbled to his small, cute little bathroom.
He sat on the toilet and changed to his period panties, putting on a pad as tears plopped on his thighs.
as he was pulling them back up, there was a knock on his bedroom door that scared him to flinch.
"Tub?"
It was philzas soft voice. It was hinted with question but filled with love and concern
another dam (that Tubbo didn't even know was there) broke.
"daddy!" Tubbo sobbed as he toddled out of the bathroom and threw open his bedroom door
"Awe.. Hey pumpkin" philza lifted the boy into his arms
"What's wrong tubee? What's wrong kiddo?" Phil softly stroked the brunettes hair, trailing his fingers through his hair until they went down his neck and then right back up to his hair.
"Girl time!" He yowled "girl time.." he said more quietly the second time.
"Oh hun.." Phil frowned, Knowing how hard periods were for him, especially in a house full of amabs.
"Have you put on your period underclothing?" Phil phrased it differently, knowing Tubbo associated the word panties with Femininity.
Tubbo nodded gently, sniffling and wiping his tears.
"Smart boy." Phil praised as he shifted Tubbo to his hip
"Do your sheets have leak through?"
Tubbo shrugged, burying his face in philzas shoulder
''I know hun, I know." He kissed tubbos hair before walking to tubbos bed and observing. He then took off the sheets and gathered them in his other arm
"leak..?" The regressed boy asked timidly
"Just a little bit bee. It's okay, we'll get it washed, mate."
Tubbo nods, cuddling up to Phil as the man walks down the stairs
Tubbo could faintly hear Tommy say "Dubs not wearin pans! Why I gots to wer pants >:(" as they walked by
Tubbo just clutched tighter onto philza.
after philza had thrown the sheets into the washer and started the run, he softly whispered to Tubbo
"Do you want to have breakfast with Tom's, mate?"
Tubbo just softly nodded. still shy.
after a few moments, Tubbo felt himself being put into one of the big high chairs they had. He looked over and saw Tommy. He waved shyly, nervously chewing on his shirt.
"Papa!! Tubbys chewing on shirt!!!!" Tommy shouted immediately.
technoblade sighed and made his way over to the boys, philza taking technos place cutting the kids food.
Technoblade eased a clear pacifier into the fussy brunettes mouth before turning to Tommy, a hand on his hip.
"Was that reporting or tattling, bud?" Techno asked calmly
"Portin!" Tommy said, confidently
"No hun , papa or daddy would've noticed eventually." techno moved Tommy's hair out of his eyes and gave him a red pacifier too
"Not baby papa!"
"I know, I know. you're my big boy. It's for when you're done with breakfast okay? Big boys listen to papa." technoblade soothed, putting the pacifier next to his plate.
Tommy nodded and went back to struggling with eating ((he INSISTED he could feed himself))
on the other hand, Tubbo was sitting next to him, holding his stomach and kicking his feet fussily.
"Your foods almost done, bee boy." technoblade said gently, rubbing tubbos back
A few minutes later, Tubbos plate was put in front of him, toast with fluffy eggs on top.
the boy immediately started to happily dig in, uncoordinatedly shoving toast in his mouth and eggs all over his mouth.
He felt two big hands gently latch onto his wrists. He lowered his hands and saw philza gently holding his arms.
"do you need help, kiddo?"
tubbo just closed his eyes and opened his mouth for food
Philza chuckled softly and wiped the food off his hands and onto the plate. "What do we say?"
"Food!" Tubbo happily said
"No hun, what do we say when we want something?"
Phil said, wiping tubbos hands on a wet wipe
" p'ease?" Tubbo tried
"Good boy" philza softly kissed tubbos hand, earning a giggle from tubbo as philza began to feed him the (now mushy) eggs.
—————-
eventually, tubbo started to refuse food and become whiny so philza put up the plate and wiped the boys face with baby wipes before lifting him onto his hip.
Tubbo refused to speak, or maybe he couldn't, philza wasn't quite sure.
Tubbo whined and whined as he held his stomach.
"Here bud,"
Phil laid tubbo on the couch with a heating pad and weighted blanket but he still sniffled and pouted
"poor boy" techno said, sitting in the rocking chair with tommy on his lap.
tubbo growled at technoblade which earned a confused look from philza and technoblade
tubbo wasn't usually very.. growly ? When little, (or ever) nor did he outwardly show anger to his caregivers unless he was in a fit or meltdown.
Phil shrugged it off and maneuvered his way bellow tubbo.
The sandwich was philza, heating pat, tubbo, weighted blanket. tubbo seemed to like it, latching onto the older man and snuggling up to him lovingly.
philza stroked the boys hair gently for an hour or so while watching tv with the family until eventually tubbo started squirming.
"Do you need to potty, hun?"
Tubbo nodded sleepily.
After tubbo was finished, he was brought up to the nursery, where tommy was playing with some Barbie's.
Technoblade was supervising a few feet away, sipping coffee and reading a book.
"Tommy!" Tubbo giggled happily (though softly) as philza put him down, Tubbo happily waddling over to Tommy and plopping down next to him.
philza stood next to technoblade, watching the regressed boys babble play.
"Is Tubbo feeling okay?" Techno said softly, looking up from his book
"I think his tummy's feeling better because I gave him some Midol, just not sure about how he's feeling about it mentally."
techno made a hum of acknowledgment
"I just don't want him to feel different or like he's- misunderstood."
Philza rambled slightly
"Phil."
philza stopped and looked at the other man
"he's fine. He'll be okay."
Philza nodded and sighed
"I just don't want him to feel bad. Yknow, being the only afab in the house."
"He knows we love him. just don't treat him differently" Technos low, soothing voice was a stress reliever for Phil.
philza nodded and sat down on the floor next to technos rocking chair, going on his phone to scroll for a while
———-
After a while, There was a whine and Tommy stopped babbling.
The caregivers noticed the silence and looked over and felt their hearts warm.
Tommy was sitting cross legged facing the doll house and silently playing with his dolls and Tubbo was laying on the floor with his head in Tommy's lap.
philza went over and picked up the sleepy brunette boy
"What's up, tubee? do you need to potty?" He said as he shifted Tubbo onto his hip
"s'eepy" he said, laying his head in the crook of philzas neck.
philza smiled and put Tubbo into his crib, tucking him in and moving his hair from his eyes before going over to give Tommy a kiss on the cheek aswell.
"Night boys. Don't let Tom stay up too late tech."
technoblade just rolled his eyes.
