Chapter 30: The Show: Pt 2

Wilbur was holding his ground against his little brother- barely- but again- Wilbur was stubborn and had never lost to his little brother- he wasn't going to now.

Wilbur fought more with his words than his sword since he couldn't bring himself to hurt his little brother- they'd been through so much together-

—————

"Tommy- Tommy it's ok it was just a nightmare-" a sixteen year old Wilbur said on his knees in front of his little brothers bed to his seven year old brother who was sitting up in his bed sobbing violently, Tommy paused his crying to try and get words out, "Wilby- Techno was-" Tommy paused before he started to sob again.

It was about midnight- this would just be the another of many nights of nightmares about their- in Wilburs opinion careless older brother, Tommy would soon forget about them- Wilbur never would- and his animosity towards his careless older brother would grow that much worse

"Please Tommy, please stop crying" Wilbur said in hopes of calming his little brother down, it didn't work to well, Tommy's eyes were red from crying- his nose running slightly, his cheeks pink and wet

"Please Tommy please" Wilbur pleaded, Tommy quieted a little bit but not much

"Tommy I'll sit with you till you go to sleep- just please stop crying" Wilbur said in a comforting voice as he pulled his sleeve up to his palm and wiped Tommy's tears- though tears came once again making his cheeks cold and wet

"Really?" Tommy asked in a squeaky voice as his throat hurt from crying his eyes widened. Wilbur nodded in response and got up and sat on the bed next to him.

Tommy laid over onto Wilburs lap considering he was still young enough to do that, Tommy still let a couple tears go from his eyes

Wilbur started quietly singing a soft lullaby that he'd written- though he hadn't planned it to be a lullaby- it would serve as one for the moment, while stroking his little brothers blonde somewhat curly hair..

I see a kingdom on the horizon, full of laughter and joy, never seen a war, never seen a worry. The king a wise ruler, the queen as lovely and beautiful as a blooming rose,
Their children have never known a true problem- oh such a life of bliss had these had...

Wilbur paused his makeshift lullaby and looked down at his little brother- he'd stopped crying and was now softly sleeping his head resting on Wilburs thigh

"Good night Tommy" Wilbur smiled, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Phil found the two asleep the next morning- both in Tommy's room sleeping peacefully- he'd wondered why Wilbur was in Tommy's room- but right now he just stood in the doorway of the room, watching his two youngest sons- hoping and praying- to some distant god that they would always stay this close-

—————

"Tommy- Tommy" Wilbur said trying to get his little brother to snap out of whatever the hell the green demon had done to him, Wilbur looked at his little brother through the cold steel- that could easily take the life of either brother- both mortal- both very breakable- both princes- both children of a god- neither one willing to lose a fight.

Tommy pushed harder on Wilburs sword- making Wilbur have to lean back- quickly bracing himself again by moving his right foot further back behind him

Wilbur now looked into his little brothers eyes- they were dark- and hazy- not the bright blue they usually were

Wilbur pushed back- gave a forceful shove to Tommy's sword, Tommy stumbled but quickly regained his footing.

"Tommy this won't ever stop if you don't fight him- fight him!" Wilbur shouted, "Oh but Wilby- he made a deal- my deals aren't easily broken" Wilbur heard Dreams voice echo from behind him
