It’s quiet in Theesempeii, which isn’t too rare nowadays. The sun is high in the sky, the flowers are blooming and there’s two blonde children cuddling on their couch, asleep, at 2pm. The taller blonde - “by like an inch!” the other would protest, scowling as the Brit howled with laughter - began to rub his eyes, waking up to the sight of a blonde tuft of hair placed beneath his chin.
“Purp?” He murmurs quietly into the hair, leaving a soft kiss before he pulls away, smiling like an idiot. All he received in return was a half-hearted groan and a face being pushed further into his neck. “Come onnnnnn, we gotta wake up, love. I have to meet up with the Tubs today, needs me to babysit Micheal or sum shit.” The older whines, softly nudging Purpled’s body off the couch. Yet again, all he received was a groan.
Tommy sighed, knowing that Tubbo could and would beat his ass if he didn’t help out. Not that he minded helping out, he was already attached to Micheal anyways. With one strong push, Tommy made Purpled fall onto the carpeted floor below.
There was a beat of silence, and Tommy swore he’d never felt closer to shitting his pants then when Purpled got up and sent him the most frightening glare he’d ever seen.
If looks could kill, Tommy would be six feet under.
Tommy grimaced, before getting up and bolting out the room into the kitchen, hearing enraged yells and curses not too far behind him. Thinking fast, he flew up the stairs, bee-lining straight for their shared bedroom. Tommy jumped out of his skin when he heard the nearby furious shout of “TOMMY INNIT WATSON GET YOUR ASS HERE NOW!”
Laughing, he jumped into the bedroom and didn’t bother locking the door because he knew that Purp would never actually hurt him (other than that one time where Tommy placed his hand on Purpled’s shoulder and was promptly decked in the face. There was an onslaught of apologies after, of course, but needless to say, Tommy learned to always announce his presence first).
The door made a loud bang as it was slammed against the wall by an outraged Purpled, who had a fond look in his eyes, as he stormed in. Tommy wasn’t surprised, as the little “fights” were a daily occurrence. He just smiled and held his arms out, welcoming the boy into his arms.
He silently rocked them for god knows how long, both of them basking in each other’s presence before they have to go their separate ways for a bit. “I’m still mad at you for that” came the slightly annoyed grumble from the shorter. The taller just gave a small chuckle before burying his head into the hair in front of him. “I know, I know. I’m sorry, dear.”
Purpled just huffed, shook his head before he whispered a fond “It’s alright, sweetheart.” They stayed cuddling like that for a few more minutes before a sharp ping came from Tommy’s phone. Said boy just pulled away a bit, with a few annoyed grumbles from the other, and checked the message.
Clingy and Big Man
Clingy: Where are you? I need to set off in like
30 minutes, boss man.
Big Man: I’m heading out now, just got a bit distracted
Clingy: Hmm, ok. Just hurry up.
Tommy sighed, pulling away completely before checking that his outfit was suitable for going out in. He deemed it appropriate and started heading downstairs, Purp following him. “Guessing that was Tubbo?” Purp guessed, a disappointed tone in his voice.
“Sure was, honey. I got no clue when I’ll be back home though, but I’ll probably be home for tonight. I’ll let you know if plans changed” Tommy assured, then planted a kiss on Purp’s forehead, hugging once more, before heading out the door.
If he got absolutely destroyed by Tubbo for being late so bad that he had to call Purpled for comfort, promises of cuddles for when he got home (which got fulfilled) then no one has to know.
