Chapter Text

Overgrown garden

Tommy was in the kitchen with his daughter, clementine, she is 6 years old, and loves baking, so that’s why there here baking a chocolate cake while shroud and purpled were outside setting up a pool, He wasn’t sure where clementine had picked up the love for baking and such, but he was glad she had, he loved having one of his children have a even slight similar to him. They always made a mess while baking, flour getting caught in his feathers, but tommy didn’t mind she was having fun. “Pa! Watch this!” Clementine yelled across the kitchen “I’m watching sweetheart show me” He began too laugh as clementine began mixing the cake batter at a rather average speed trying her hardest, she believed she was stirring at the quickest pace in the world, so tommy played along “whoa! Where did you learn to do that princess?” He picked up the moth and span her around in his arms “was I cool Pa!? Did I go at super duper speed!?” She giggled and smiled at her father “only the fasted in the world
sweetheart” he sets her down and walks over to a cabinet to grab out a cake pan and placed it on the side, “would you like help pouring it in the pan?or have you got it?” He smiles as clementine clambered up on her stool and grabs the bowl “I can do it!” She began quite messily poring the cake batter into the pan, Tommy whipping up the mess with a cloth when she had finished “go see if your brother and father need anything, I’ll call you back when the cakes done so we can decorate” Tommy smiles at clementine as she smiles and runs off. He slides the cake in the oven and cleans up what mess was made before grabbing his phone and sitting gently on the floor.

Tommy lets out a few gentle coughs before opening his phone, 2 messages from techno, “I wonder what he needs” tommy mutters too himself, clicking on the messages.

TECHNO: hey kid. 12:46 pm
TECHNO: how you doing? 12:46pm

Yeah, Tommy was to tired to answer right now, he will answer another time, maybe after he’s had a nap, he pulled himself back up to his feet and checked on the cake, it was almost done, he walked towards the back garden setting on the door frame while looking outside, Purpled was chasing the kids around with a hose, by their request he’s sure. He stands and stares for a moment or two before he realised why he came outside anyway, “clementine princess! Cakes almost done come in and dry off please “ he yelled outside watching all three of them stop in there tracks “okay pa!” She zoomed past him within seconds, Tommy giggles slightly “be careful I don’t want you both to end up with a cold, again.” Tommy sighs while talking to shroud and purpled “we knowwwwww” Purpled pouts acting like a child “we will be in about ten minutes we wanna try this cake” Purpled smiles and resumes spraying shroud with the hose, Tommy smiles and turns back into the house.

When tommy eventually makes it back into the kitchen Clementine was already stoop by the oven changed and dry, other than her hair, which was practically dripping, “clem sweetie” Tommy took the cake out of the oven and places it on a cooling rack, clementine looks up at him “Hm?” She replies smiling and jumping up and down in excitement of her chocolate cake coming out of the oven “can I braid your hair out of your face while we wait for this to cool down?” Tommys asks picking her up and walking to the living room “yes please!” Clementine nods in agreement while pushing a piece of hair out of her face, He sets her down infront of him as he sits down beginning to braid her wet hair, seeing purpled and shroud running inside soaked from head to toe in water he giggles slightly almost messing up the braid.

Knock

Who could that be? Tommy didn’t invite anybody, he quickly finishes off clementines hair and goes to answer the door opening it only to see people that he didn’t have the energy to talk to right now

“Why are you here” tommy asks deadpanned “we missed you of course” one of the others replied”

Chapter Text

Tommy was sat on the sofa head in his hands, slim pale fingers curling into his tangled blonde mess that he calls hair. “What are you doing here. I told you to stop coming here, i don’t need you anymore.” Tommy groans.

Wilbur gives a soft smile and gently guides Tommy’s hand out of his hair “we’ve already said toms, we missed you” tommy knows what Wilbur’s done- what he is- why is her leaning into the touch. “No- no! I don’t miss you i said to leave me alone” Tommy hesitates and pushes Wilbur away, who scoffed as he did so clearly not wanting to be there anyway, crossing his arms and scowling in the corner bit on the sofa, tommy was moving over and away from him. Phil then crouches down in-front of Tommy’s shaking figure, like he used to when he was younger… no. Bad people. He’s a bad person! “Hey kiddo… i know your stressed but we just wanna see you toms, we’ve been so concern-“ tommy quickly cuts him off “i don’t wanna talk to you! I already told you!” Purpled walks into the room and it was like Tommy couldnt breathe, hes overwhelmed hes surrounded with people he didn't need to see at this time, after all they did, they were *close* but once he found out about his illness, he pushed the three of them away, he couldnt bare seeing their faces once they found out about his illness, fuck he's still trying to figure out how to push Purpled away, someone whom he married, someone who has KIDS WITH, he can just run away, but knowing Purpled would be heartbroken would make him wanna dig his grave himself, jump off a cliff just so he dosent see that hurt face in Purpleds face, face that HE made, face that HE wont be there to comfort the thought of that makes him tear up on the spot "get out you three" oh that voice, the voice that comforts him the voice that he needs to go to bed, the voice he needs in life, hes angry? Why is he angry? Then he snaps back into his senses "you can clearly see he dosent like you three being here, you can see how much hes shaking so why dont you guys just leave?' the three were taken aback "alright then , i didnt wanna fucking be here anyway!" Wilbur practically screamed at . My husband? Thats my husband hes talking to why is he so rude. Tommy thought to himself hearing the door slam made him flinch and then his father spoke up next "Purpled i know you're just trying to protect tommy but he is my son and i need to talk to him" his father speaks, oh how he hates his voice, always gives him a false feeling of security false sense of safety "GET. OUT." thats the first time he hard his husband scream, it sends chills down his spine, hes never heard purpled so angry before it almost makes him tear up, but its okay, he isnt screaming at you toms, he never will he loves you, he cares and tommys content with that. "Fine by me" Techno says practically dragging a angry Phil put the door

And with that, Tommys problem(s) was resolved (for now atleast)
