TOMMY LOVES HIS BROTHER SO MUCH!!!!!!!!

[tommyofspeed]

“Turns out getting walloped by an axe hurts a little.”

“Oh, Billy, Billy, Billy… I could’ve told you tha—” At first, he wasn’t fully paying attention to what his brother was saying, but then it clicked. He cut himself off abruptly, turning to Billy with a confused look taking over his features. “When did that happen to you?! What the hell have you been getting into without me?!”

Have you been Naughty or Nice?

“Tommy, Santa has something extra special for you this year! You're at the top of the Nice List.”

“Haters will say this is fake but look at this. I’m at the top. I’m the best. Like it was supposed to be.”

@inmutant said: Luna sneakily pours salt onto his cereal when he’s not looking.

Luna might think she was sneaky, but he was sneakier. It takes a lot to prank a prankster. And Tommy liked to think he was the best at it—at least in the family—which is why he always kept an eye on everyone when they were gathered, just to avoid getting caught in some revenge prank for something he’d probably done. And with his speed, this was a relatively easy task.

He pretended not to notice when she added salt to his cereal, then used his speed to swap his bowl with the one his mom was using while she was distracted. Turning to his cousin, he smirked. “Mom’s not gonna be happy when she finds out you put salt in her cereal.” Then he ran away from the scene.

@inmutant said: “And here I thought we were just going on a treasure hunt.” unprompt/anon asks || always accepting !

"What are you talking about?" He didn’t have time to turn to his cousin, too busy analyzing the situation in front of him. "We went on a treasure hunt, and we found the treasure—which, sure, came in the form of trouble, but at least we found something."

[tommyofspeed]

@billyktothemax said: "I'm so sorry. I tried. I tried so hard, I couldn't find anyone else, I was running out of time, I - ! I wanted something better I'm sorry."

"Stop!" He hadn’t meant to yell, but he did, because it was too much. Too much to process. Too much to think about. And honestly, Tommy didn’t want to think about any of that. Things were the way they were—neither of them could change what had already been done.

He sighed, glancing at Billy for a second. "You don’t have to explain. It’s… fine." It wasn’t, but he wasn’t about to blame Billy for his problems. For his life. Maybe he should, but he wouldn’t. "At least you brought me back. That’s… better than nothing."

[tommyofspeed]

Wanda's been looking for you.

unprompt/anon asks || always accepting !

"Whaaaat—? Whyisshelookingforme? I didn’t do anything wrong." It was the first thing that came to his mind to say—not suspicious at all, to say the least. "You can tell her I’m right here. Minding my own business. Notgettingintoanytrouble."

[tommyofspeed]

@inchaosthereiscalculation said: "Don't cry. You're perfect."

When was the last time Tommy cried in front of someone? Probably never. Actually, when was the last time he cried at all? He couldn’t say anymore. Tommy never did well with emotions—especially sadness. It was always better to be angry than sad, and that’s how he’d lived for as long as he could remember.

But… so much has happened the past few months. And he felt comfortable around the Wanda. Probably because of that, he couldn’t stop the small tears that stubbornly escaped. He wiped them away furiously, determined not to let any more fall.

“If that’s true,” he began, making an effort to stop crying and to look strong. “then why does everyone always leave me?”

Tommy widened his eyes and raised a finger, leaning forward slightly.

"Hey, you’re smelling that?" He sniffed a couple of times before turning his gaze to Ian. "Smells like envy to me—because someone wasn’t invited to join the Young Avengers."

He tried to keep a straight face, but it lasted only a fraction of a second. A sarcastic, teasing grin quickly took over.

Being part of the Young Avengers was a pretty big deal for tommy. It meant a lot to him. He loved that team. They were his family, so hearing the disdain in the other’s voice really got under his skin a bit. Crossing his arms, he let out a scoff, already growing tired of being there. He didn’t like to feel locked, after all.

"Oh, you like my mom? Tell me more about that."

[billyktothemax]

"It's not my fault that brooms and levitation only go so fast," Billy protested. "I should take you out on a broom sometime, just to make you stop and smell the roses for once."

"Are you sure?" He asked. It seemed Tommy wanted to say something, but he could read between the lines. Billy's face fell for a moment, and he did his best to cover it up faster, fast enough maybe Tommy wouldn't notice.

He supposed they were still getting to know each other. Right? Or maybe Tommy was waiting for Billy to figure out what being a twin or a sibling even meant. "I could eat whatever. What's a place that's good around here?"

[tommyofspeed]

The comment about brooms made Tommy smile as he shook his head.

“Oh no, there’s no way you’re getting me on one of those things. For two reasons.” He held up one finger before starting his list. “First, as you said yourself, they’re way too slow for me. No chance. And second—” He raised another finger. “Aren’t you scared of falling off one of those? A fall like that doesn’t sound too pleasant to me.”

He didn’t want to admit he might be afraid of heights, but… well, he wasn’t a fan of them. There was nothing he could use up in the air, after all.

Still smiling at the thought, Tommy noticed that Billy might have been about to ask him something, but he appreciated that all his brother mentioned was food instead. He thought for a moment.

“What do you think about Chinese food? I know a place—not super fancy, but the food is amazing.”

[billyktothemax]

@tommyofspeed asked: “ i’ve got your back .

"And I've got yours," Billy promised sincerely.

That didn't take long, though, and before the sweet moment could saturate, he quickly turned on the snark. "Of course, it'll take me longer than a tenth of a second to get there, but that's on you."

[tommyofspeed]

He liked how neither of them was overly sentimental. It made things so much easier for Tommy, who always preferred sarcasm over sincerity when dealing with people. Maybe that’s why they got along so well.

“Slowpoke.” he teased, holding back a laugh. “But I guess what matters is knowing we’ve got each other’s backs. I—” He was about to say that he’d never quite had anyone like that in his life before, no one who got his back other than himself. No one that truly cared for him. But that’d be sharing too much, so he decided to keep it to himself. “Never mind. Just don’t forget about it, okay? Okay. What are we going to eat now? I’m starving.”

[tommyofspeed]

what if—and this is just a what if bc i’m still starting to consider— i end up moving tommy to a sideblog to my main blog ?
