Together We Can, Alone We Will [Origins SMP/Modded SMP]

Reuniting

The Enderling has been pacing for over 2 hours. When he sleeps it's almost always under a rock by where the Merling sleeps and it's with the gift.
Wilbur would know, he's been watching them carefully for nearly 2 days.

"Wilbur," Techno huffed plopping down on Wilbur's branch.
"You can't keep stalking them," he pointed out with an annoyed huff.

Although the human didn't mind having his older twin brother off his back they needed to get back to the dark oak forest. He could burn out here. Not to mention they're almost out of food and Wilbur is still in his ghost mode. Aka, his metabolism is increased by 10%. Not good for their rations.

"I just-" Wilbur began but shut up when loud talking cut through the trees around them.
"Home. Now," Techno ordered almost silently.
At this, Wilbur climbed down.

"My feeeeeet huuurrrrt!" Tommy complained.
Phil huffed.
"I offered to carry you, Toms," Phil repeated.
"But daaaaaaaad~ my feeeet huuurt!" Tommy complained more.

Phil's heart squeezed at Tommy once more calling him "dad". It had only been the second time he had caught him doing it but he wondered how many times he had done it before the first time. He wondered if it was just a teasing "he acts like a dad" type thing. Didn't matter, it still made him happy.
The last person to call him dad was...
"You could borrow my boots, Tommy!" Tubbo happily offered.

"No Tubbo, those are on your feet for a reason. You'll get hurt. Daaaaad, my feeeet hurt and I'm tiiirrrrred! Can we pleeeeeaase rest!" Tommy whined.
"Just a couple more minutes Tommy, we've been 'resting' nearly all day," Phil grumbled slightly regretting taking the fledgling in.

"But daaaaa-" Tommy began.
"Tommy?" A hopeful voice perked up from ahead.
Tommy froze.
"T-Tommy? I-is that you?" He asked.

A moment later the half black and half white Enderian appeared before them.
"Tommy!" Ranboo squealed delighted, a fur hide hanging off his shoulders.
"Ranboo!" Tommy greeted just as excitedly, jumping into the taller's arms.
Surprisingly the taller seemed ready for this, not even wavering as he caught him.

"Come on! I'll show you where Niki and I have been cooped up! Luckily it hasn't rained but it might not stay that way forever-" Ranboo began rambling occasionally getting cut-off by an over-excited Tommy.
He led them through the trees back to a large clearing with a lake.
It looked familiar.
Really
Really familiar.

Tubbo gasped excitedly.
"My treehouse is around here!" He announced cheerfully his hood dropping from his head.
"Really?!" Tommy asked excitedly.

Tubbo nodded.
"Maybe we can settle down here for a bit! Make some kind of home base type sh*t!" Tommy declared.
"I don't-" Phil began cautiously.
"I call living with Tubbo!" Tommy joked.
"Yay! Roomies!" Tubbo cheered hooking onto Tommy's arm.

"Maybe we could find something I could eat? Plant some sh*t?" Tommy offered excitedly looking around at the scenery.
"I don't think we should set-" Phil began.
"Speaking of which I really need some food. Anyone got anything?" Tommy asked.

"Just Chorus Fruit, and even that is running low," Ranboo sighed.
"Sorry, just fish," Niki replied.
Tommy gasped dramatically.
"Cannibalism!" Tommy declared.

Niki's face dropped into a deadpan.
"Is it 'cannibalism' when you eat chickens or birds?" Niki replied.
There was a moment of silence before suddenly Tommy said, "Avians are forced vegan. So, yeah."

"Oh."

"Anyways-!" Phil cut in awkwardly.
The group of.... Literally only teenagers..... Dear lord maybe this is why he took them in so easily.....
Anyways- the group of teenagers all excluded the sensible adult and huddled to talk about a plan about settling down.
