Why do you love me? - An SBI Adoption AU

(10) My Natural Instincts

Summary:

Tubbo had been at the house for a week at this point, he missed his daddy (Schlatt), who was the one to leave him in the box, which caused him to break down a lot and get emotional. But he was also very energetic, running around. They play a prank on Techno but Tubbo accidently gets punched. Phil and Kristen get mad. Tommy tries to console a crying Tubbo, who has a bloody nose.

No One's POV:

Tubbo was an energetic kid to say the least, he had only been in the house for a week at this point but him and Tommy were already trying to mess with the others, most of the time to no succession. 

The only times the six year old wasn't energetic was when his dad, Schlatt, was brought up and he would start to cry. 

Today was one of those days.

Tommy POV:

It's been a week since Tubbo came to live with us and I was loving it. We played games with the others and we played pranks on the others but we never got in serious trouble for them as at the end of the day you can't really do much to punish a six year old unless you want to go to prison.

Tubbo was yet to tell anyone the whole story about his dad but I didn't really care. I did know that Phil and Kristen were planning on making him tell them today so I was prepared for the mass amount of crying that was going to happen. 

The six of us were at the table eating our lunches, no school cause it was the weekend, and Phil, Kristen, Techno and Wilbur all kept a close eye on Tubbo the entire time but I don't think he noticed, I did though, they were being very obvious.

"Can I go back upstairs now, Mr Phil and Mrs Kristen?" Tubbo asked politely after he finished his chicken strips and potato waffles.

"Uhm, in a minute bud we want to talk to you about something" Phil answered as he grabbed everyone's plates and went to the sink.

"Okay!" Tubbo exclaimed in a good mood as usual. 'That was going to change quickly' I thought.

"So, Tubbo" Kristen started as Phil sat back down at the table, "What exactly happened with you and your dad?". As soon as she had finished I saw that Tubbo was about to cry so I quickly went to assure him that everything was fine, like any good person would.

"Well, after mommy died, daddy didn't have much money so we were poor which meant we rarely ate and he would get drunk often." Tubbo started, tears threatening to fall. "A couple of months ago we went to the shopping centre and he put me in a box and said we were going to play a game where I would have to stay in the box until he got back...but he never came" Tubbo started to cry and we all quickly huddled around him to comfort him.

It was later in the day and me and Tubbo were sitting drawing in my room, that we were planning on changing to be Tubbo's room as well and they were going to get some bunk beds for us.

"Hey Tubbo" I say, stopping drawing for a moment.

"Yeah?" Tubbo responded, continuing to draw some bees on a piece of paper.

"We should scare someone" I said with a sadistic smile. A large smile also spreading onto Tubbo's face as he placed down his pen.

"We should wait until it's night time and then we can scare them in the dark so it's extra scary" Tubbo proposed and I immediately agreed with him and continued to draw.

It was now dark outside and we had dinner already so everyone was doing their own things. The two of us crept outside of our room and silently walked downstairs. We turned off all the downstairs lights so it would virtually be pitch black. Tubbo was slightly scared of the dark so I comforted him through it. 

It only took a few minutes before we heard a door upstairs open and close and footsteps to be heard going downstairs so we got in position.

As we both geared up to jump out and scare the person I noticed the bright pink hair that was barely visible in the dark and I knew this wasn't going to go to plan. Techno had the reflexes of a god, if anyone tried to scare him they would be done for.

Tubbo didn't notice the pink hair and still tried to scare the person.

Techno POV:

I was in my bedroom reading one of my many books when I suddenly felt very thirsty so I decided to go and get a drink. Walking out of my room I noticed that all the lights downstairs seemed to be off, certainly odd but I didn't mind, I quite liked the dark. 

I walked down the stairs being as careful as possible as it was virtually pitch black. 

As I reached the bottom step I heard a childish scream come from the right of me and I slight tugging on my side. My fast natural reflexes not realising who or what was next to me I swung a punch and hit the face of...Tubbo. Oh shit, I'm dead.

I quickly turned the lights on and saw a crying and now bloody Tubbo on the floor with Tommy at his side trying to comfort him. I sprinted to the kitchen and grabbed some kitchen roll and gave him it to stop the bleeding, he flinched away from me but Tommy grabbed it of me instead, he probably knew what was going to happen as he didn't seem to pissed off with me, surprisingly.

A door upstairs opened and closed and I saw Mum and Dad quickly rushing down the stairs to see what happened. I was now in shock and sitting on the bottom step, head in my hands knowing that I was going to be in serious trouble for this. I'd be lucky if I was ever allowed outside again after this.

"What the hell happened?" Kristen asked, worry laced in her voice as she went to Tubbo's side to help him.

"Techno punched Tubbo" Tommy said, scared. I lifted my head from my hands and saw both Phil and Kristen looking at me shocked and angrily.

"What the fuck, Techno!" Phil shouted at me. I stood up from the step so I was level with my dad.

"Why would you punch him?" Kristen asked also standing in front of me.

"I'm sorry it was an accident. It was pitch black and they tried to scare me, I thought it was a burglar so my natural instincts kicked in and I punched him" I tried to argue but it was clear that mum and dad were having none of it.

"Just go up to your room, Techno and stay there" Kristen demanded.

"Jesus Christ, Wilbur was so right about you two, always putting them first over your actual kids" I shouted before rushing to the front door, leaving the house and slamming the door shut, leaving two very shocked parents behind as I walked away from the home.

As I did online school, I didn't really have many IRL friends but I did know that two certain people lived by us so I knew where I was headed.

-----

I reached the large house and I knocked on the door. Hearing the rushing of people inside it took a couple of minutes for the door to be answered.

"Hey Techno, what are you doing here?"

"Hi Bad and Skeppy, can I sleep here tonight?"
