Why r grown adults getting excited over Ms Hinch crap? Candles, throws, lamps, bowls and vases. None of this is new and people are losing their mind over it like they have to get it! Do people not understand what saving money is? £14 for a candle is wild
I check in with Pixelberry every 5 months. Why are they releasing anime art styled, possibly Ai art versions of both The Crown and The Flame and High School Story? What is the point? I'm guessing money. But, why not just make a skin for both series as an overlay that you can turn off if you don't want it? Why are they doing it this way? I can't with them, what a tragic app.
IT'S FRIDAY, THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL BEFORE WE CLOSE FOR THE CHRISTMAS PERIOD. TODAY, I'M THE ONE MANNING DETENTION, BUT I NEVER GUESSED THAT MY BESTEST STUDENTS, BENCH TRIO, WOULD BE IN DETENTION. APPARENTLY THEY WERE TALKING IN MR B'S MATHS CLASS SO NOW THEY'RE HERE IN MY CLASS ROOM, SITTING AT THE FRONT OF THE CLASS
Y/N: Ok, guys. Due to it being the last day of school, I'm not gonna be too hard on you. I've got some papers to grade so just remain in your seats and talk or draw. Just don't be too loud.
I TAKE A SEAT AT MY DESK, PULLING IT CLOSE AND GRABBING MY PEN, MESSING WITH THE CLICKY BUTTON ON TOP WHILE I SORT THROUGH MY STUDENTS WORK. TUBBO AND RANBOO ARE REALLY GOOD KIDS, BUT I GUESS WHEN THEY'RE PAIRED WITH MY LITTLE BROTHER, IT'S NOT SO SURPRISING WHY THEY GOT DETENTION
3:15PM
Tommy: Y/N, I'm bored. Can we go?
Y/N: *Looks up* No, not until four o'clock.
Tommy: But I'm bored.
Y/N: You're supposed to be serving your time, Tom. Look, you can play some music if you want to pass the time. Just keep the volume down.
Tommy: *Pulls up phone and clicks on a song*
I HEAR THE START TO A FAIRYTALE IN NEW YORK BEFORE IT'S IMMEDIATELY STOPPED BY TUBBO GRABBING TOMMY'S PHONE AND HITTING PAUSE
Tubbo: Not that song.
Tommy: It's the clean version!
Tubbo: Don't care.
3:30PM
Ranboo: Have either of you got any anime recommendations?
Tubbo: Ooh, I do! Yu yu hakusho is really good!
Tommy: Yu yu a fucking virgin! *Laughs*
Y/N: *Snickers*
MY EYES WIDEN, REALISING WHAT I JUST DID. I LOOK UP TO SEE ALL EYES ON ME AND THAT JUST MAKES MY BROTHER LAUGH EVEN MORE
4PM
Y/N: *Stands up* Ok, guys, detention is over, you are free to go. Have a lovely Christmas and Tom, I'll probably be home in two maybe three hours. I've just gotta get back to my flat and start packing.
Tommy: Ok. See you later Big [Insert Initial Here]
IT’S ONLY A WEEK UNTIL CHRISTMAS AND THE MINECRAFT CHILDREN ARE ABSOLUTELY BUZZING WITH EXCITEMENT. FOR LITTLE TOMMY, THE 5 YEAR OLD IS BEING FAR TOO HYPER AND IS REFUSING TO LISTEN TO HIS MOTHER
Kristin: Tommy, I told you to stop shouting.
Tommy: No! You’re not the boss of me!
KRISTIN’S HANDS WERE ON HER HIPS. HER HUSBAND WAS AT WORK AND SHE WAS BECOMING TIRED OF LOOKING AFTER HER YOUNGEST SON THROWING TANTRUMS AND HAVING NOBODY TO BACK HER UP WHEN SHE NEEDED. HOWEVER, IT BEING CHRISTMAS TIME AND THE FACT THAT SANTA IS SOMETHING HER CHILDREN BELIEVE IN, SHE CAN USE IT TO HER ADVANTAGE. LOOSENING HER STRAINED FROWN AND GIVING A SMILE, SHE SPEAKS
Kristin: Ok, Tommy. If you keep acting up, I’ll have to call Santa and cancel his delivery of all the presents you wanted.
THE TODDLER’S ATTITUDE IMMEDIATELY DROPS. KRISTIN’S HAND CURLS, HER PINKY AND THUMB STICKING OUT. THE MAGIC PHONE, THE PHONE THAT ALL MUMS HAVE IN THEIR PALMS TO MAKE THAT DIRECT CALL TO SANTA CLAUS IF THEIR CHILDREN ARE BEING NAUGHTY
Tommy: No, Mummy! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!
Y/N, THE OLDEST WATCHED IN FEAR OF ACTING OUT AND HAVING THEIR OWN PRESENTS BEING TAKEN AWAY. BUT THEY ALSO SMILED AT THE THOUGHT OF TOMMY BEING PUNISHED
IT’S A SNOWY MORNING AND THE MINECRAFT SIBLINGS HAVE TO WALK TO SCHOOL. WITH THEIR BACKPACK OVER THEIR SHOULDERS, GRIP TIGHTENING WITH EACH STEP, Y/N THINKS ABOUT A POSSIBLE SNOW DAY THAT IS HOPEFULLY SOON TO COME
Tommy: Hey, Y/N, what’ll happen if I stick my tongue on a lamp post?
Y/N: You’ll get stuck and it’s also gross.
Tommy: I bet I won’t get stuck.
Y/N: Yes you will.
Tommy: No I won’t.
Y/N: Yes you will.
Tommy: No I won’t.
Y/N: Yes you will.
Tommy: No I won’t.
Y/N: YES YOU WILL!
Y/N WAS NOT HAVING IT TODAY. THEY DIDN’T WANT TO HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL AND WALK THROUGH ALL OF THIS. TOMMY WAS JUST HAVING FUN AND GIGGLING LIKE THE LITTLE GREMLIN HE IS. WELP, ABOUT 4 MINUTES LATER
Tommy: Y/N heul-p!
Y/N, WHO WAS LOOKING DOWN ON THEIR PHONE DMING A FRIEND, TURNS AROUND TO SEE THEIR LITTLE BROTHER’S TONGUE STUCK TO A POLL. THE OLDER MINECRAFT SIBLING BURSTS INTO A FIT OF LAUGHTER, POINTING AT THEIR HUMILIATED YOUNGER BROTHER
Y/N: Ha ha, you idiot! I told you that would happen!
THE BLOND FOLDS HIS ARMS, SCOWLING AT Y/N FOR MOCKING HIM
A/N: Reader has Fibromyalgia. My sibling did this for me today so I got inspo!

Y/N’S POV
NOVEMBER
10:06AM
I’VE FINISHED MY SHIFT AND I LEAVE THE BUILDING, MY SMALL BAG SLUNG OVER MY SHOULDER AND MY WATER BOTTLE HANGING FROM MY FINGERS BY THE LOOP. AND THEN OUTSIDE, I SPOT MY LITTLE BROTHER LEANING AGAINST THE WALL STARING DOWN AT HIS PHONE
Y/N: Tubbo?
HE LOOKS UP AT ME WITH A GRIN BEFORE POCKETING HIS PHONE AND SHRUGGING HIS COAT OVER HIM AS THE WIND BLOWS
Y/N: What are you doing here?
Tubbo: I thought it would be a nice surprise.
HE STEPS TOWARDS ME, PULLING ME INTO A HUG
Tubbo: How was work?
Y/N: Bearable. My pills have worn off though.
I’M ON MY FEET 4 HOURS A DAY. IT’S NOT THAT LONG, BUT I’M EXPECTED TO DO SO MUCH AND MY ILLNESS MAKES IT HARD. HE STEPS BACK AND TAKES MY BAG AND BOTTLE OFF ME
Tubbo: Let’s get you home.
WE LEAVE THE SMALL RETAIL PARK AND TAKE THE WALK PAST THE MEGASTORE TOWARDS THE TOWN CENTRE. NORMALLY IT’D BE QUICKER IF I WASN’T WALKING SLOW DUE TO MY CURRENT PAIN. BUT TUBBO KEEPS REMINDING ME THAT WE CAN TAKE A BREAK IF I NEED IT. I PUSH ON THROUGH
TOWN CENTRE
FOR ME, THE PLAN WAS TO WALK HOME, WHICH WOULD TAKE AN HOUR. HOWEVER, TUBBO STARTS PULLING ME IN THE DIRECTION OF THE BUS STATION
Y/N: Tubbo, where are we going?
Tubbo: The bus. You’re in pain, so we’re taking the bus.
Y/N: But that’s a lot of money.
Tubbo: It’s £3, Y/N, and if I want to spend 3 quid on my sibling, then I will.
BUS STATION
WE TAKE OUR SEATS AT OUR STOP. IT’S WEIRD, THE STATION IS USUALLY ALIVE WITH PEOPLE BUT THERE’S CURRENTLY BARELY ANYBODY HERE. I GUESS DUE TO IT BEING WINTER, PEOPLE MUST BE HIDING AWAY IN THEIR HOMES. GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME, MY JOB IS DIFFICULT AS IT IS BEING STUCK IN RETAIL, I DON’T NEED TO DEAL WITH KARENS TODAY EITHER!
10 MINUTES LATER
OUR BUS PULLS UP. TUBBO HELPS ME UP AND WE GET ONTO THE BUS, HIM USING HIS APPLE PAY TO BUY THE TICKETS. WE SLIDE INTO A ROW OF 2 SEATS AND I IMMEDIATELY FEEL THE WARMTH AND COSINESS
A/N: Just imagine the family on Twitter X being famous. Not much to describe.

@Tommy Minecraft🔵 @xXY/N_OfficialXx The colour is so you!
THE 20 SOMETHING YEAR OLD WHINES LIKE A CHILD AS THEY’RE DRAGGED ACROSS THE FLOOR, HOLDING ONTO THEIR LITTLE BROTHER’S LEG. TOMMY SIGHS, THE POOR 18-YEAR-OLD JUST WANTS A REFRESHING DIET COKE
Y/N: Please come to H&M with me!
KITCHEN
DRAGGING THEM ALL THE WAY, TOMMY GRABS HIS SILVER CAN OF COKE
Tommy: Why can’t you go by yourself?
Y/N STANDS UP, LOOKING AWAY
Y/N: I … Don’t want to go alone.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE RAW VULNERABILITY ON HIS OLDER SIBLING’S FACE TUGGED AT TOMMY’S HEART. MAKING A MENTAL NOTE TO SET HIS STREAMING TIME BACKWARDS, THE BLOND HAIRED CONTENT CREATOR DECIDES TO GO TO TOWN WITH HIS SIBLING
Tommy: Alright, let’s go.
Y/N GRINS AND GETS READY
TOWN CENTRE
GETTING OUT OF THE UBER, THE SIBLINGS RUSH INTO THE MALL. THE TALL TEEN FOLLOWS THEIR SIBLING TOWARDS THE CLOTHING STORE. INSIDE, THE SIBLINGS ARE SURPRISED HOW THE SHOP IS DEVOID OF PATRONS FOR THE TIME OF DAY, BROWSING TOGETHER, THE 2 OF THEM LOOK THROUGH THE GRAPHIC TEES, EYEING A FEW THAT THEY LIKE
Tommy: Dad would love this pizza one.
Y/N: Isn’t that all he owns? No plain ones whatsoever?
Tommy: Yeah.
Y/N: Graphic tees aren’t for me. I think Dad ruined them for me.
Tommy: Please don’t turn into one of those beige Mums.
Y/N: How is that the same?
THE TEEN LAUGHS, FOLLOWING Y/N THROUGH THE STORE, BROWSING TOPS, HATS SHOES AND JEANS. TOMMY PICKS UP A PAIR
Tommy: I do need some new jeans. What do you think?
Y/N: Go for it if you really want them.
Y/N DRAGS TOMMY TO THE DRESSES AND HANDBAGS, WANTING TO LOOK OVER EACH ITEM. AFTER ENOUGH BROWSING, THE SIBLINGS WALK AWAY WITH THE NEW JEANS TOMMY PAID FOR. THEY GO OUTSIDE, GRAB A BITE FROM GREGGS, AND BOOK A TAXI HOME
JULY WAS WHEN I HAD MY FIRST DOSE OF THE MODERNA VACCINE TO FIGHT AGAINST THE CORONAVIRUS. PEOPLE WERE HAVING SIDE EFFECTS AFTER TAKING DIFFERENT VACCINES BUT I WAS ONE OF THE LUCKY ONES. BUT COME THE SECOND DOSE I HAD TO TAKE?
SEPTEMBER
IN THE MORNING, I WENT TO THE CLINIC TO GET MY SECOND DOSE. HOURS LATER I DIDN’T FEEL WEIRD, SO I THOUGHT THAT I ESCAPED ANY POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS. LOL, I WAS SO WRONG
5 PM
I’M WATCHING TV IN MY BEDROOM SITTING IN MY COSY COMFORTABLE EGG CHAIR … THEN I START TO FEEL … WEIRD. MY BODY STARTS FEELING FATIGUED AND I BEGIN SHIVERING DESPITE NOT FEELING COLD NOR TIRED. THEY MUST BE SIDE EFFECTS FROM THE VACCINE. TECHNO’S THE ONLY ONE HOME RIGHT NOW, SO I TEXT HIM TO COME UPSTAIRS, URGENTLY. BOTH INSIDE THE ROOM, MY BROTHER ASKS ME WHAT’S WRONG AND I EXPLAIN HOW I’M FEELING AND TECH IMMEDIATELY GOES INTO BIG BROTHER MODE. HE HELPS MY WEAK SELF GET CHANGED INTO PJS AND GETS ME INTO BED. HE LEAVES THE ROOM AND RETURNS WITH A GLASS OF WATER AND SOME PARACETAMOL. AFTER I TAKE MY PILLS, TECHNO ASKS IF I WANT ANY DINNER. ONLY SOMETHING SMALL BECAUSE I’M NOT THAT HUNGRY. TECHNO ORDERS US BOTH A PIZZA TO SHARE. OUR MUM, DAD AND LITTLE BROTHER ARE OUT OF TOWN FOR THE WEEKEND, SO IT WAS NICE TO HAVE THIS TIME BETWEEN US. JUST US AND NOBODY ELSE
IN THE SNOWY TUNDRA WHERE THE SBI LIVE, PHIL, AND TOMMY ARE INSIDE THE HOME STAYING WARM BY THE FIRE. Y/N ON THE OTHER HAND, KNEELS IN FRONT OF THEIR GARDEN, KEEPING IT THRIVING IN THIS BIOME DUE TO THEIR SPELLS. THEY ENJOY THIS WEATHER BUT THEIR CLOTHES AREN’T THICK ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM WARM. LUCKY FOR Y/N, THEIR CLOAK CAN SUFFICE. THEIR GARDEN IS SMALL, ONLY CONTAINING THREE KINDS OF FLOWERS, BUT THEY’RE HAPPY REGARDLESS. BEING A WITCH HAS ITS ADVANTAGES … LIKE BEING ABLE TO SENSE SOMEBODY STALKING UP BEHIND YOU. PULLING DOWN THEIR HOOD, Y/N STANDS UP AND SPINS AROUND ON THEIR HEELS WITH A SMILE
Y/N: Techno!
THE 8FT TALL PIGLIN SMILES, LETTING OUT A HAPPY HUFF. HE’S BEEN AWAY FOR A WHILE ON A SECRET MISSION. BUT NOW HE’S BACK FOR HIS FAMILY
Techno: Hey, squirt. Long time no see.
THE SIBLINGS SHARE A LONG HUG. IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE THEY LAST SPOKE. THEY HAD LAST SEEN EACH OTHER IN NEW L’MANBERG WHERE TECHNO WAS ABOUT TO BE ASSASSINATED
Techno: I bought you a gift.
Y/N STEPS BACK, CURIOUS AS TO WHAT IT COULD BE. FROM HIS INVENTORY, THE PIGLIN PULLS OUT SOME PINK ROSES. Y/N ALWAYS WANTED ROSES IN THEIR GARDEN. TECHNO HAD ALWAYS BEEN LISTENING. THE YOUNG WITCH TAKES THE PLANT FROM THEIR OLDER BROTHER
Y/N: Tech, these are beautiful. Thank you so much. I’m gonna put these in my garden right away.
TECHNO CHUCKLES, RUFFLING Y/N’S HAIR AND TURNING TOWARDS THE HOUSE
INSIDE
TECHNO IS MET WITH THE WARMTH OF HIS HOME AS HE STEPS INSIDE. AFTER CLOSING THE DOOR, TOMMY ZIPS THROUGH THE HOME WITH A SMILE PLASTERED ON HIS FACE AS HE HOMES IN ON THE PIGLIN. THE HUMAN-RACCOON WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND HIS BIG BROTHER
Tommy: You’re back! You’re back!
THE COMMOTION CAUSES THE ANGEL OF DEATH TO APPEAR FROM THE KITCHEN
Phil: My son! You’re finally home.
TOMMY MAKES A HAPPY CHIRP
Tommy: The family’s back together!
Phil: So where have you been?
Techno: It’s a long story. First off, I’m gonna take a long bath and then we can sit around the fire and listen to the stories I have to tell you.
TECHNO STROLLS UPSTAIRS TOWARDS THE BATHROOM AS PHIL RETURNS TO THE KITCHEN TO GRAB HIS TEA. TOMMY SITS ON THE COUCH AND HIS DAD COMES IN WITH HIS BEVERAGE, SITTING IN THE ARMCHAIR ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SOFA. THEY TALK UNTIL TECHNO COMES OUT OF THE TUB. GRABBING A DRINK, TECH CALLS Y/N INSIDE. THE WITCH SITS OPPOSITE HIS DAD, LEAVING TECHNO THE SEAT BESIDE TOMMY
Y/N WAS SLEEPING SOUNDLY … UNTIL THEIR BROTHER SHOOK THEM AWAKE
Tubbo: Y/N, wake up!
Y/N: Wha-What! What is it?
THE ROOM IS STILL DARK SINCE THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON, BUT BOTH SIBLINGS CAN STILL SEE EACH OTHER
Tubbo: Can you take us to McDonald’s?
Y/N: … Tubbo, what time is it?
THE YOUNGER BROTHER TILTS HIS HEAD TOWARDS THE NIGHTSTAND, WHERE Y/N’S ALARM CLOCK SITS
Tubbo: 2 am.
THE [E/C] PERSON TURNS OVER IN BED, CLOSING THEIR EYES
Y/N: Go back to sleep.
THE 17-YEAR-OLD RUNS AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE
Tubbo: But I already promised my friends!
Y/N: Well forget it. I’m not driving you guys around just so you and your buddies can go on some late night McDonald’s run.
Tubbo: … I’ll buy you a meal too.
Y/N SHOOTS OUT OF BED
Y/N: I’ll meet you downstairs in 2 minutes.
THE YOUNG LIVE STREAMER LEAVES THE ROOM WITH A SMILE
2 MINUTES LATER
DOWNSTAIRS
Y/N MEETS THE 3 TEENS OF BENCH TRIO BY THE FRONT DOOR, ALL OF THEM DRESSED AND WAITING TO GO
Ranboo: Took you long enough.
Y/N: Oh, I’m sorry, did you want to stay home instead?
Y/N’S TONE IS VERY SARCASTIC
Ranboo: I apologise and I’ll be on my best behaviour.
SOME TIME LATER
THE GROUP ARE ON THE EMPTY ROAD MAKING THEIR WAY TO THEIR DESTINATION. TUBBO AND TOMMY ARE IN THE BACK, DISCUSSING WHAT ELSE TO DO ON THEIR CURRENT SLEEPOVER. RANBOO’S IN THE PASSENGER SEAT REMAINING QUIET. UNTIL HE TURNS TO Y/N
Ranboo: Sorry about this.
Y/N: Nah, it’s fine. I’m getting food too.
MCDONALD’S
SINCE THE BOYS PLAN ON EATING INSIDE, Y/N PARKS THE CAR IN THE MOSTLY EMPTY CAR PARK
INSIDE
THE GROUP LOOK AROUND TO FIND EVERY TABLE EMPTY. THEY THEN HEAD TO THE CASHIER, WHO’S LOOKING TIRED ON THE NIGHTSHIFT
Tubbo: What do you want, Y/N?
Y/N TURNS TO THE CASHIER WITH A SMILE
Y/N: Can I get [your order] and a large [your drink] please?
Tubbo: That’s a lot for 1 person.
Y/N: And your point is? I drove us here after all, and you did say you’d buy me food.
Tubbo: Yeah. I was just saying. I’d like a BigMac meal with a chocolate milkshake.
TUBBO WAS BOUNCING ON HIS HEELS LIKE A CHILD WHILE GIVING HIS ORDER. BY THIS POINT, Y/N’S SAT DOWN IN A COMFY WINDOW BOOTH, RANBOO AND TOMMY JOINING THEM ONCE THEY’VE GIVEN THEIR ORDERS. TUBBO PULLS OUT HIS IPHONE TO PAY FOR THE FOOD, WAITING FOR THE CHIME TO CONFIRM PAYMENT. THEN, HE JOINS HIS SIBLING AND FRIENDS, SITTING NEXT TO Y/N
Y/N: So what’s the plan after this? Just eat and go back home?
Tommy: Pretty much.
Ranboo: It’ll be nice to chat and catch up.
Tommy: Catch up on what?
Ranboo: … I don’t know. Anybody seen any good movies lately?
Y/N: …
Tubbo: …
Tommy: …
Y/N: … No.
THE BLOND TEEN STIFLES HIS LAUGHTER. SOON ENOUGH THE FOOD ARRIVES TO THE TABLE ON 2 TRAYS. THE GUYS GRAB THEIR FOOD AND MUNCH AWAY. TUBBO HAS THE AUDACITY TO LOOK OFFENDED WHEN TRYING TO REACH FOR ONE OF Y/N’S [your food] AND GETTING HIS HAND SLAPPED AWAY
Y/N: Mine!
Tubbo: I bought you the food!
Y/N: Don’t care. All mine.
Tubbo: Can’t you at least share 1 bite?
Y/N: Nope.
Y/N SCOFFS DOWN THEIR FOOD AS FAST AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE BEFORE MOVING ONTO THEIR DRINK. TUBBO SIPS ON HIS SHAKE, EYEING Y/N WHO WILL MOST LIKELY GET A STOMACH ACHE. TOMMY GIGGLES AT THE OLDEST PERSON’S ACTIONS, WHILST MUNCHING AWAY AT HIS CHICKEN MAYO SANDWICH, AND RANBOO POLITELY EATS HIS FRIES
Tommy: Can we get McFlurrys after this?
Tubbo: Umm, I’m not sure.
Y/N: I’ll buy them.
Tubbo: You sure?
Y/N: I’m sure.
Tommy: Yeah! Big sib Y/N!
Ranboo: Big sib Y/N!
ONCE THEY FINISH THEIR MEALS, Y/N TAKES THEIR ORDERS TO THE CASHIER AND PAYS. ONCE THEY HAVE THE BAG OF DESSERTS, ALL 4 OF THEM EXIT THE FAST-FOOD CHAIN AND CLIMB INTO THE CAR, TUBBO SITTING IN THE FRONT THIS TIME
Y/N: Here you go.
Y/N HANDS THE BAG OF ICE CREAM OVER TO THEIR LITTLE BROTHER
Y/N: Just remember to be quiet when we get inside. Try not to wake Mum and Dad.
STARTING THE ENGINE, Y/N PULLS OUT OF THE CARPARK AND STARTS THE DRIVE HOME
Y/N: Feel free to eat up, guys.
Ranboo: Thanks.
Tubbo: Yeah. Thanks for doing this.
Y/N: You’re welcome. (Big sibling Y/N. I like the sound of that).
THEY FINISH THEIR MCFLURRYS BY THE TIME THEY GET HOME
A/N: Omw 2 buy myself a pizza blanket. Nah jk, it sounds impractical.
Y/N’S POV
2020
MARCH
I’VE JUST FINISHED WASHING THE DISHES AND NOW I’M DRYING MY HANDS WITH THE TEA TOWEL AS I STARE OUT THE BACK GARDEN, THE SUN STARTING TO SET ON ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY. MY MUM AND DAD ARE LOUNGING IN THE GARDEN, REALLY BEING ABLE TO ENJOY THE WARM WEATHER SINCE THEY’RE CURRENTLY WORKING FROM HOME. THEY’RE NOT ON FURLOUGH LIKE ME. AFTER HANGING UP THE TEA TOWEL, I ENTER THE LOUNGE WHERE I FIND MY LITTLE BROTHER ON THE COUCH, SCROLLING ON HIS PHONE, SNUGGLED IN MY PIZZA BLANKET
Y/N: So adorable.
TOMMY LOOKS UP AT ME AND FROWNS BEFORE GIVING ME THE MIDDLE FINGER. I CHUCKLE AND TAKE A SEAT NEXT TO HIM, TRYING TO LOOK OVER HIS SHOULDER AT HIS PHONE. I WOULD’VE SUCCEEDED IF HE DIDN’T PULL AWAY. LETTING HIM DO WHAT HE WANTS, I SWITCH THE TV ON AND FIND SOMETHING TO WATCH. IN TIME WHILE TOMMY STARES AT HIS PHONE, HE SLOWLY TILTS TOWARDS ME. HE ALLOWS GRAVITY TO TAKE ITS COURSE AND SOON ENOUGH HAS HIS HEAD ON MY LAP, PUTTING HIS IPHONE DOWN AND TURNING ON HIS BACK, FOLLOWED BY A SIGH. I LET OUT A GIGGLE AS I FLOSS MY FINGERS THROUGH HIS HAIR
Y/N: Tired, buddy?
TOM MAKES AN AGREE GROANING SOUND
Tommy: I stayed up late last night.
BECAUSE OF HIS STREAMING. EVER SINCE THE LOCKDOWN BEGAN, TOMMY’S BEEN PUSHING HIMSELF TO BE BETTER, TO PROVIDE MORE CONTENT FOR HIS FANS. IT’S A GOOD BUSINESS MOVE SINCE EVERYBODY IS STUCK AT HOME, BUT HE’S ONLY 15-YEARS-OLD
Y/N: Tom, maybe you should cut it back a bit? I understand you want to keep up momentum for your channel, but you need to put yourself first. Mental health, keeping a healthy sleep track record. I think, maybe, you need to be told this more often, but you’re doing great, buddy. You’ve got a loyal fanbase and you’re making good money. Don’t overwork yourself. You’re not gonna lose your fans over night. You are more than enough.
I LOOK DOWN AT MY BROTHER. HIS EYES ARE OPEN NOW
Tommy: Thanks, Y/N. That means a lot.
TOMMY SITS UP, BUMPING HIS SHOULDER AGAINST MINE
Tommy: You should know too, that you’ve come a long way from the 19-year-old you were last year. College did a lot for you, but you came out of your shell when you started looking for a job. Even being employed at [your choice of shop] for the last few months has boosted your confidence. I’m so proud of you.
Y/N: Aww.
I WRAP AN ARM AROUND HIS SHOULDERS
Y/N: I’m proud of you too.
WE FADE INTO SILENCE AFTER THAT. I CONTINUE WATCHING THE TV SHOW THAT WAS ON IN THE BACKGROUND. TOMMY TRIES, BUT SUCCUMBS TO SLEEP, AND RESTS HIS HEAD ON MY SHOULDER
I’M SITTING AT MY LAPTOP IN MY BEDROOM LOOKING AT PINTEREST. I FINISHED MY SHIFT AT WORK TWO HOURS AGO. I WORK PART-TIME, BUT I’M DOING A LOT OF OVERTIME DUE TO THE SHOP BEING UNDERSTAFFED. SOMETIMES, I WORK MORNINGS, EVENINGS OR ALL DAY. TODAY, I WORKED FROM 9 AM TO 2 PM. I ONLY EVER WORKED 11 HOURS A WEEK BEFORE WE WENT INTO LOCKDOWN BACK IN SPRING. TUBBO’S BEEN HOME FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF FROM HIS DAY AT COLLEGE. SUDDENLY I’M YANKED BACK IN MY CHAIR BY MY LITTLE BROTHER, WHO GIVES HIMSELF ENOUGH ROOM TO CLIMB INTO MY LAP. HE WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND MY FRAME AND RESTS HIS CHIN ON MY LEFT SHOULDER. IT’S BEEN A LONG DAY FOR HIM AND I’VE ALWAYS BEEN HIS FAVOURITE PILLOW
Y/N: You alright there, buddy?
Tubbo: Mmhm.
I LIFT MY LEFT HAND UP TO STROKE THROUGH HIS HAIR AND CAN FEEL HIS BODY IMMEDIATELY MELT INTO MY OWN. HE’S LIKE A FUCKING CAT I SWEAR! I LOOK AT THE TIME ON THE TASKBAR AS I USE MY FREE HAND TO CONTINUE SCROLLING DOWN PINTEREST
Y/N: Mum and Dad should be home from their grocery run soon. Then I’ll get us some pizza for dinner. Sound good?
TUBBO LETS OUT ANOTHER “Mmhm” AND NODS. AFTER A WHILE, HE FALLS ASLEEP. MY HAND TANGLED IN HIS HAIR, RUNS DOWN HIS BACK, PLANTING RIGHT BETWEEN HIS SHOULDER BLADES TO KEEP HIM AGAINST ME SO THAT HE DOESN’T FALL OFF
4:56 PM
I HEAR THE SOUND OF A CAR PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY. MUM AND DAD ARE HOME. I SHUT DOWN MY LAPTOP AND PAT TUBBO ON THE BACK
Trigger warning: Mentions of being kidnapped and some gore.
NO ONE’S POV
DREAM SMP
IN THE VILLAGE, Y/N, THE RECENTLY TURNED 21-YEAR-OLD WITCH, ENTERS THEIR POTIONS SHOP READY TO START THE DAILY GRIND
9 AM
THE MORNING STARTS PEACEFULLY IN THE VILLAGE, Y/N EVEN SAYS HELLO TO SOME OF THE PASSERSBY, STRIKING UP A CONVERSATION WITH SOME OF THE TOWNSFOLK WHO LIVE IN TOWN
1 PM
IT’S BEEN BUSY, BUT Y/N HAS KEPT THEIR STOCK COMING, MAKING POTION AFTER POTION TO KEEP THEIR SHOP REPLENISHED AND FULLY STOCKED!
5 PM
AS THE SUN SETS, Y/N STEPS UP TO THE ENTRANCE AND FLIPS THE OPEN SIGN TO CLOSED. THEY STEP BACK TO THE COUNTER, LEAVING THE DOOR UNLOCKED TO TIDY UP THEIR WORK STATION. YEAH, THAT WAS A BAD IDEA Y/N. THE BELL ABOVE THE ENTRANCE RINGS AS TWO MEN STEP INSIDE
Y/N: We’re closed!
THE YOUNG WITCH ANNOUNCES WITH A LIGHT TONE TO MATCH THEIR SMILE WHILE THEIR BACK IS TURNED. A GRUFF VOICE REPLIES
?: We’re not here for your merchandise.
Y/N’S EYES WIDEN AND THEY TURN AROUND TO FACE THE MEN
?: We’re here for you, witch.
THE WITCH IS FUCKED, AND THEY KNOW IT. THE TWO MEN STANDING BEFORE HIM ARE WITCH HUNTERS, Y/N CAN SEE THE BRACELETS THEY’RE WEARING WEARING. THIS MEANS THE E/C EYED STORE OWNER CAN’T USE THEIR MAGIC ON THEM TO DEFEND THEMSELF
Y/N: Guy please? Can’t we talk about this?
THE POTION SELLER ATTEMPTS TO BACK AWAY, BUT THEY’RE GRABBED. WITCH HUNTER#1 HOLDS THE WITCH FIRMLY IN PLACE AS WITCH HUNTER#2 TIES Y/N’S WRISTS IN FRONT OF THEM
Y/N: Don’t do this. I’m begging you please don’t do this!
SLAP! THEY EARN A SLAP ACROSS THE FACE. WITCH HUNTER#2 STEPS TOWARDS THE EXIT OF THE SHOP. HE OPENS THE DOOR AND THEN … SLICE! A SWORD FROM THE DARKNESS CUTS THE MAN IN TWO. WITCH HUNTER#1 GRIPS Y/N TIGHT
WH#1: Argh! Who’s there!?
THE MAN LOOKS AT HIS DECAPITATED FRIEND BLEEDING OUT ON THE FLOOR. THE UNKNOWN FIGURE STEPS INTO THE LIGHT, HIS DIAMOND SWORD GLOWING FROM THE RAYS OF THE LIGHT ABOVE
WH#1: No! It’s The Blade!
THE 8FT PIGLIN RAISES HIS WEAPON. DESPITE STILL BEING IN THE WITCH HUNTER’S CLAWS, Y/N IS GRINNING AT THEIR BIG BROTHER
Y/N: Techno!
Techno: You have something that belongs to me.
TECHNO DRAWS HIS BLADE TO THE HUNTER
Techno: Give them back to me.
WH#1: Yeah yeah, sure buddy.
THE WITCH HUNTER’S DEMEANOR COMPLETELY CHANGES FROM THE PIGLIN’S ARRIVAL AND LETS GO OF Y/N
WH#1: See, not gonna harm them. What I did was a big mistake, I see that now.
THE HUNTER ACTUALLY TRIES TO SHIMMY AROUND TECHNO AS IF HE’LL BE ALLOWED TO LIVE
Techno: Yeah, nice try.
TECHNO STRIKES. HE SLAYS THE MAN RIGHT ON THE SPOT, HIS SWORD PLUNGING INTO THE MAN’S CHEST. RIPPING HIS BLADE OUT, TECHNO WATCHES THE BODY FALL BEFORE HIM. THE 8FT WARRIOR SHEATHS HIS BLADE, EYES LOCKING ONTO HIS LITTLE SIBLING. HE PADS OVER TO THEM, REACHES FOR HIS POCKETED DAGGER TO CUT Y/N FREE, GENTLY. THE ROPES SNAP CLEAN FROM THE PRESSURE OF THE SMALL SHARP BLADE
Y/N: Thank you! Thank you, Technoblade!
THE WITCH NUZZLES THEIR FACE INTO THEIR BIG BROTHER’S CHEST, ARMS WRAPPING AROUND THE PIGLING AS THEY SHAKE, ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO BREAK AND CRY FROM THE FEAR THEY HAD JUST GONE THROUGH. TECHNO HOLDS THEM CLOSE, ONCE HAND RUBBING THE CLOAKED WITCH’S BACK AS HIS CHIN RESTS ON TOP OF Y/N’S HEAD
Y/N NEEDS THEIR BROTHER’S COMFORT AND TECHNO KNOWS IT. ONCE Y/N STEPS BACK, THEY CAST A SPELL TO CLEAN UP THE MESS. TECHNO DUMPS THE LIFELESS BODIES OUT IN THE STREET. THEN THEY LEAVE THE SHOP, LOCKING UP AND ENTERING THE NEARBY NETHER PORTAL TO USE THE PORTAL SYSTEMS TO RETURN HOME IN THEIR COSY SNOWY TUNDRA
