TW// talk of hanging/death, talk of stealing, talk of being starved
3rd person POV
Everyone; Wilbur, Tommy, Techno, Phil, Quackity, and Dream; we're all silently sitting in the living room while Tommy sewed his hood back together. When Tommy finished, he broke the thread from the needle with his teeth, and ties it off so it wouldn't come loose.
"Where did you learn to sew?" Wilbur asked. "Taught myself." Tommy stated without looking up. Wilbur nodded. Tommy hugged the hooded cape to his chest for a few seconds before sliding it back over his head and putting the hood up.
"So," Phil cleared his throat. "Tommy, isn't it?" He asked. Tommy nodded and looked over at Phil. "Tell me something about yourself." Phil said. Tommy paused for a moment.
"Well...uhm...I'm fifteen. I-" Tommy was cut off by Dream. "Your fifteen?!" He asked. Tommy slowly nodded. "I thought you were like, twelve! You're so skinny and small! How are you fifteen?!"
"Well I didn't have access to much food before Wilbur brought me here and I'm just kind of short I guess." Tommy wrapped his arms around himself. "Wait, did that Meredith lady starve you?!" Wilbur asked.
"N-No! I mean, kind of. We didn't have much money and it's hard to feed twenty kids without it. But she did feed me less than everyone else...she didn't like me." Tommy stared down at his lap.
"I know she doesn't like you from what you've told me about her, but why doesn't she like you?" Wilbur asked. Tommy shrugged. "Beats me."
"So, who is Meredith?" Dream asked. "The caretaker at my orphanage." Tommy replied. "Orphanage? You're an orphan?" Phil asked. Tommy noticed Techno trying to hold in laughter. This made Tommy feel bad. He felt like Techno was making fun of him for being an orphan.
Phil seemed to read Tommy's thoughts.
"Technoblade, shut!" Phil said, slapping him in the back of the head. "I'm sorry, Tommy. We just have an ongoing joke in the family that Techno doesn't like orphans. It's just a joke though." Phil said. Tommy nodded.
"Anyways, continuing my 'all about me' segment," Tommy said. "I'm fifteen, I'm an orphan, I have just two friends back at the orphanage, my parents were hung for stealing, and this hood belonged to my mum."
"I'm...very sorry about all that." Phil said. "Eh, it's fine." Tommy sank into the soft couch.
