{Fire wood} - SleepyBoisInc Fanfic

(This is SleepyBoisInc family Dynamic, No relationships what’s so ever!)

The cold night air made his cheeks cold with windburn as they turned pink. Any time he breathed out he could see the fog in front of him in the dark scenery. The sound of snow crunching underneath each step he would make as he made it back toward the house in the middle of basically no where for now at least. The plans of moving were always brought up in the house hold every once in a while. Sometimes it would be for the same reason, other times it would just be one of them complaining about the lack of area they have near the city. Or the fact that it took an hour to travel to the nearest village for trading. The boy sniffed and coughed lightly in to his shoulder as he dropped the handle of the sled that dragged more wood toward the house. He felt as if he would be doing a good deed getting extra wood out near the shed. Knowing dadza would have to go out and grab some once some body notices the last log is catching fire and they have ran out.

This was his chance to prove himself to his family he felt once he left the house earlier on. Feeling as though this would prove how independent he could be by completing the task his brothers would handle. His wish was to help out more, even though that was a dream to some people to not take part in chores. Yet he felt as though he was freeloading and wanting to take part in helping around sometimes. This being one of them since no one was out taking care of the job he noticed needed to be done. It was easy to be fair, it wasn’t like he had to go and cut a tree down personally. There were extra logs stacked by the small shed near the house they used for storing things. It was extra from Phil cutting trees the other day for the new fence he was making around the house they lived in. The task took a couple of minutes at most, stacking the small bit of logs on to the sled he dug out of the shed beside the pile. Yet even in those couple minutes of him standing out in the cold he could already feel his fingers being frozen, not to mention his cheeks and nose that were uncovered.

A small sigh left his chapped lips as he ran his gloved hand through his hair. Neglecting the fact his glove had snow on it’s finger tips before he ran it through his blonde locks. He bent down quickly, picking up a couple of logs or at least the amount he could handle. Not mentioning the fact he tried to carrier even more, but his strength was no match to his elder brother that could carry three maybe even four times his size. Not even grown up yet, but his mind seemed to age faster then his body did. The steps were loud as the creaked when the pressure of the blonde’s boots hit them. Trying to clear off as much snow off of the bottom of them as possible so he didn’t drag any inside. With his hands full it was hard to reach the door knob at first. Yet he tried his hardest and succeeded in grabbing a hold of it when he almost gave up. The boy sniffed slightly to try and clear his stuffed nose. Wishing for warmth that inside brought. Wanting the comfort by the fire in a warm blanket after dinner was done. The thought of warm dinner made the boy lick his lips slightly as he thought of what his dad would make for them this time. The door creaked slightly as it opened up all the way. The boy’s back was up against it as he struggled to take his boots off with only his heels. With a few grunts of annoyance his boots were finally kicked off to the side which he would have to put up later on. The sound of the house was some what unsettling, no noise was heard of anyone talking. Confusing the blonde slightly as he stood there, blaming his hearing loss on the loud wind that blew outside. That was until he heard,

“TOMMY!” The boy glanced quickly over to find his brunette brother racing down the stairs towards him in a worried fashion. The blonde was confused, startled even when the brunette bent down toward his level of height and cupped his cheeks. His brown orbs gazed upon him up and down as if he was checking him for injuries. Yet all the boy could do was stare in confusion as he heard two more pairs of foot steps coming toward them both by the front door. Why was everyone rushing to him, did he miss something that happened while he was gone?

“My goodness there you are, where were you! You had us worried sick we were looking for you everywhere around the house!” Next came his father that bent down to look at him as well. Taking over what the brunette was originally doing in the first place. Tommy only smiled softly as he tried to hold up the logs he had gotten for them. A triumphant look on his face as he smirked widely. Proud of himself still when he thought they weren’t at the moment.

“I got you some more wood Dadza!, w-we were running out of logs for the fire place so I went to go and grab some more outside as a surprise! And I think I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself” Tommy replied as he heard his dad sigh softly to himself as he ran his hand over his eyes slightly. Tommy watched as his dad grabbed the logs carefully from him. Handing them back to his hybrid brother who understood what their Dad was meaning without saying a single word. The boy was confused still as he watched their dad look back toward him as he stood there. Taking notice of his red cheeks and nose that weren’t covered by his scarf like he had told him to do when out there. His warm hand went to his shoulder, resting it on top softly with a reassuring squeeze.

“I really appreciate you going out to get some wood Tommy...but you should have told someone where you were going and waited for one of us to go with you. You worried us to death because we didn’t know where you were. I don’t want you to ever do that again okay. Just tell us first before you go out there on your own. Your know about the mobs that roam in the darkness” Tommy glanced to the floor in sadness as stood there. Were they not proud of him for getting all of this wood by himself? He thought that Dad would see him as strong and independent after completing this task all alone. He always sent Techno to go and do that job on his own he noticed over the last couple of years. He has gone to the village alone too and so has Will from what he has recalled. So why was it different for him? Why was he treated like he was so fragile and pathetic, like he needed someone to hold his hand and help him with everything. He could handle himself, he was already 10 going on 11 soon enough. He shouldn’t be treated a small child anymore like they are doing to him, he isn’t a child like they think he is.

“But I just thought that you could use the wood, I know you always complain about not having any on stand by when we run out. I thought I was doing something nice for you by going out and taking care of it. I can handle myself Phil I know I can, you’re teaching me how to use the sword and I can do some moves with it. I can protect myself-”

“I know you can, I didn’t say anything about that Tommy. I believe that you could protect yourself if it came down to it....But I want to make sure that you’re safe and protected even if you do know how to....You’re my youngest and I don’t want anything to happen to you and know I could have been there to help alright. You don’t know what could happen out there on your own and I want you to be prepared for anything even if it is to go and get wood by the shed” Phil replied watching Tommy’s sad look turn in to an annoyed one in a matter of a few seconds. The boy raised his hand up and wiped his stuffy nose. Regretting not putting his scarf up for the couple of minutes he was out there in the cold. Tommy glanced over Phil’s shoulder and locked eyes with his hybrid brother turning the logs in the fireplace. Taking note of the look on his face of eavesdropping on them. He was so envious of him, of so much he could do on his own. How proud Dad was of him and his skills he has and has been taught. He wanted to be in his place, he wanted that recognition that his brother has earned through his hard work. He just wanted to know he was appreciated just as much as his brother was.

“How come Techno can go out on his own and I can’t”

“Because I know how to handle myself more then you, gremlin” Techno butted in as he set the turning rod back where it belonged. Knowing he was making Tommy more annoyed then he was with his words. He would be lying if he said he didn’t like the fire in his eyes when he riled him up. But he did know that Tommy wasn’t ready yet to take care of himself in many ways. Defending himself being one of them from the many he could think of.

“I have trained Techno for many years Tommy and I still am as well and you know that. He is more skilled in other ways and weapons then you are, that is why I trust him with that job because I know he can take care of himself more efficiently with the monsters outside. You just need a little more practice before I can fully ease myself with you being out there on you own” Phil watched as Tommy rolled his eyes slightly, acting like Phil couldn’t see him but he did in fact see his expression. He felt as thought Tommy was going through puberty a bit early with his attitude he has had recently. Maybe since he seen Will going through it he was wanting to as well to act like him. But this look was more jealousy then the looks he would get from Willbur.

“But it’s not fair, I want to be able to do things on my own as well. I’m not a baby any more Phil!....what’s the worst that could happen, getting a few injuries.....my first respawn happening?” Tommy asked, his arms out wide as he named off the possibilities he could think of. He watched his dad’s eyes widen to the last thing he mentioned. Wondering why exactly those words peaked his interest.

“Tommy you know I don’t want you having your first respawn at this age, those experiences shouldn’t happen-”

“Techno has already had his and I know it! You guys won’t say anything about it but I know what happened a couple of weeks ago! So what’s the problem with it then?” Tommy asked as he pointed over toward his brother standing there, about ready to walk back to the kitchen even where he was earlier. Yet once his name was mentioned and his accident that had happened, he knew Tommy was stepping over the line.

“Tommy-”

“If he could go through that then so can I-” Techno had had enough of his bickering. He stepped forward, feeling himself growing more and more impatient and annoyed by the second from his brother’s behavior. He stopped in his tracks, realizing Will’s arm was out stretched. The brunette looked over at him in his grayish blue orbs. Taking in the irritated look he was giving him, he understood why he was feeling this way. But a fight right now was not needed after a moment of worry they had. He heard Techno scoff at is attempt to stop him, yet noticed his breathing was calmed down some.

“You don’t want to experience your first death! It was hard for me to go through with that and I don’t speak about it because it was to traumatizing for me to even explain it Tommy!” Techno spoke up as he walked closer toward them standing there. Pushing past Wilbur’s arm that stood as a wall in his way, yet reminded him he shouldn’t be fighting at this second. He just wanted to defend Phil and himself in this argument that they were having even though he was the adult. His voice wasn’t angry or raised, it was stern and bold almost as if he was trying to stay calm toward his little brother. Tommy glanced over at him, shutting his mouth quickly upon hearing his words. Nothing scared the Blade, not even the monsters that roamed the night, not the enemies that fought in war stories dad told. Nothing ever did so knowing that death did truly meant that it was something he shouldn’t deal with at his age.

“Tommy when you’re older you’ll get to do more alright I promise. But for now I want you to be more careful and let us know when you do this again.....okay?” Phil asked as he stood up from the ground, eyes still on his youngest son standing there in silence. The room was filled with an uneasy feeling from all of them being on edge about this situation. The blonde boy’s head slowly turned back toward Phil. His eye was full of wonder as he tried to find the right words to say.

“Yes Phil I understand.....sorry”

“Don’t be sorry....you thought you were doing the right thing.....Like I said I appreciate you going and doing that, we did need more logs if I’m being honest. I’m proud of you okay....you just scared the living shit out of me mate and I don’t want to go through that ever again” Phil replied as he ruffled up Tommy’s hair, seeing his understanding eyes fill with gratefulness as he glanced up toward him. The blonde removed his coat quickly upon hearing his dad step away from him. Sighing softly of relieve as he made his way back over to the kitchen.

“Now then, Dinner is going to be done in a couple of minutes so come and get your drinks and take your seats at the table.” Phil called before disappearing in to the kitchen fully to finish up dinner. As the blonde set his boots away to the side he felt his hair be ruffled once more. He shot up from bending down, catching Wilbur slowly walking away from him with a small smile on his face. His proud look never faded, the look Tommy yearned for to know he truly did something right.

“I’m glad you are alright problem child”

“I’m not a child Wilbur!” Tommy called back as he watched him disappear in to the kitchen area like Phil had done. His sky blue orbs soon went over to his hybrid brother standing there. His stare was both full of irritated and confused gazes as he stood with his arms crossed around his chest. Tommy sighed as he ran his fingers through hair nervously. Not wanting to be on bad terms with his brother at this hour. He didn’t mean to bring him in on the small argument he was having with Dadza. He didn’t even mean to show his jealousy for him in the argument either. The boy soon walked forward some to him, his gaze down at the floor as he stopped a couple of feet in front of him. Yet as he was about ready to apologize his brother’s hand rested firmly on his shoulder. Tommy glanced up at Techno as he stared down at him, taking noticed of the smirk on his face.

“Come on....dinner’s almost done, don’t want your food to be cold now do we?” Techno asked as he dropped his scarred hand from his shoulder blade. Taking a couple of steps toward the dining hall before stopping. He gazed back toward Tommy that just stared in confusion behind him.

“You coming gremlin or what?”

“Does this mean you forgive me....and HEY I’m not a gremlin!”

“Fine....problem child”

“I’M NOT A CHILD!” Tommy yelled as he chased after his older brother that laughed warmly.

“Yes you are Tommy” The brunette butted in as he set drinks down at the table. Making the blonde mischievous child groan in sadness to the name they were giving him.

“You’re all children! *laughs* Now eat your food before it get’s cold. I don’t want to hear you complaining like yesterday” Phil called over all of them, shutting the debate on names down as soon as he set down some Chicken and potatoes on the table out in front of the hungry trio. The blonde watched as Wilbur grabbed the fork immediately and started to cut in tot he chicken while Techno grabbed his baked potato he wanted. The blonde smiled to himself as he watched his brother grab a potato for him as well. The small smile on his face told all when he flashed him smirk before digging in to his own food. Showing that they were on good terms,

“Do you want some butter for your potato Tommy?” Phil asked, earning Tommy’s attention. The boy nodded his head and watched as Dadza took his plate. Smearing the butter all over his baked potato just how he liked it. The blonde nodded his head in gratitude before digging in to his own well cooked meal in front of him. Maybe there were some aspects to not being independent just yet. Some things he would enjoy before being on his own once he grows up.
