"Thank you for loving me!!!" Wilbur said, crying, at his 17 birthday. He was happy to have a family, even if not by blood, they truly cared about him.
He was a street rat, everyone hated him because of his power, everyone was scared that he might control them. But 3 years ago, Phil found him, and didn't care if he was going to control him, he just saw a child that desperately needed love and care.
Now, Wilbur has a wonderful and kind dad who has huge black wings, an annoying little brother who has little red wings, and a very smart big brother who's a piglin hybrid.
He was happy.
"No need to say thank you mate, we wanted you to be family" Phil said, but he will never say thank you enough.
"I needed a servant to help me with homework, so don't thank me, bitch" Techno and Wil bursted out of laughter while Phil's face fall.
"Tommy!!! Who taught you that!" He cried.
"Wilmblur" This time, it's Phil who was bursting out of laughter, while Techno was already dead and Wilbur gasped exaggeratedly
"How dare you call me that, you gremlin!!!"
"I'm not a gremlin you bitch!!"
"Is that the only word you know?"
"No!! I know shit too!!!"
"Good, good, Tommy, I'll teach you other words"
"WILBUR!!!" Phil was going to kill him.
What a beautiful birthday.
~~~~~
Later that day, he went to visit Schlatt with Tommy, so the gremlin could play with his son. He went to Niki's bakery before.
"Heyyy, Niki!! How are you!!" Niki's his best friend, she's a mermaid hybrid.
"Wilbur!! I'm fine, it's good to see you. I see you brought the little gremlin with you this time. And happy birthday!" she chuckled, Tommy glared at her, but couldn't say anything because Tommy would never ever insult a woman. He believes in woman suppremacy.
"Thank you, and yeah, the child wanted to go see Tubbo so I'm taking him to Schlatt's." Schlatt's a goat hybrid, and his son is too.
"I'M NOT A CHILD, I'M A BIG MAN!!"
"Sure you are Tommy, wait for 7 more years and I'm gonna call you a big man" Tommy was trying to punch him, didn't succeed.
"So, Wilbur, what will you take today?" Niki finally said.
"I'll just take a black coffee, no sugar please. Oh, and a hot chocolate for Tommy too."
"Okay noted. Will you take anything to eat?"
"Two muffins for the kids, that's all. And is it possible to have a beer? For Schlatt, I mean"
"Of course!! It'll be ready soon, go sit at a table, I'll call you when it's done."
"Thank you Niki"
"No problem" she chuckled again, and Wilbur and Tommy went to sit close to the counter.
"So, Tommy, what will you do with Tubbo today?" He asks, wanting to make some conversation.
"Well, me and Tubbo are going to prank his father but DON'T YOU DARE SAY IT TO SCHLATT and we're going to cook some pasta if Ranboo comes too !!" Mhm, sounds very interesting.
"Cool, cool, really cool."
"And we're going to prepare boob boy and bee boy's birthday!! And after that we're gonna prepare mine!!" Damn, that's pretty early. Oh well.
"Really early then. And do you know what you want for your birthday?"
"I want a cow!!" Wilbur gave him a confused look.
"A cow?"
"Well yeah of course!! And I'm naming it Henry!!"
"Okay, I'll see what I can do, gremlin"
"BITCH"
Wilbur chuckled while Tommy was furious.
"Wilbur!!" He then heard Niki.
"Ah well, thank you Niki. Hey, I have a quick question, what would be the gift of your dreams?" No, he totally will not ask this question to everyone he knows. Nah. She chuckled.
"Well, it's a bit simple, but I'd really like a cat"
"Aw, that's cute Niki!" They laughed together.
"And you Wilbur?" She asked him.
"Hm?" He didn't understand.
"What would be the gift of your dreams?"
"Oh, well, I already have got the gift of my dreams."
"And what is it?" He smiled. Turning his head at Tommy who was still eating his muffin.
"A family"
~~~~~
"TUBBOOOO"
"BIG MAANNNNNN"
The two children were so happy to see each other while they already hang out almost every day. Wilbur was already walking to Schlatt.
"Hey wil, happy birthday! How's your old man doing?" Schlatt asked. He already looked tired because of the kids.
"Thank you man, and yeah, Dadza's fine 'cause I'm taking care of the demon while he only needs to prepare some food for Techno and then he has to do nothing. Lucky him." He complains, like always.
"Well, I have to remind you that usually, it's Phil who takes Tommy here" He reminded him.
"Yeah but still!! It's annoying!!"
"You know that you were as annoying as him when you were younger"
"Ugh, there's no need to argue with you. Anyway, quick question, what would be the gift of your dreams?" Schlatt looked weirdly at him.
"Why are you asking that?"
"Don't know, just answer to me"
"Okay, okay, well I think it would be a big bottle of alcohol, you know me."
"Why am I not surprised." He sighed. He heard the doorbell, it was probably Ranboo.
"BOSS MAN, HOW ARE YOU" He heard Tubbo screaming. He remembers the time where Tubbo tried to write 'boss many and wrote 'Bsoiso s man', everybody bursted out of laughter, mainly because of the way Ranboo said it.
He came back to the children who were already starting to cook the pasta.
"Hey Tubbo, Ranboo, I was wondering, what would be the gift of your dreams?"
"OH !! I want bees!! A lot of bees!! I want a farm with a million bees!!" Tubbo said first.
"Uhhh, well I don't want to sound too pretentious, but I'd like a crown." Ranboo said after Tubbo finished rambling about bees.
"Oh well that's a big wish, you wanna be rich boob boy?" Tommy said with a teasing look.
"Stop calling me that!! And I just think it's cool. And it's the gift of my dreams, of course it's gonna be a big gift!!" They were already arguing, guess he's gonna leave now.
"Hey Schlatt, I'll let you take care of the three demons"
"Okay, okay, just come back quickly please, it's gonna be hard for me. And say hi to Phil for me!!"
"OK, will do, bye!!"
~~~~~
"Heyyyy Techno, dear brother, how are you" Said Wilbur, teasing his brother.
"Wiiiiiil, leave me alonnnnne, I'm trying to read in peaaaaace" Techno said with tired eyes, glasses on his nose.
"I'm trying to read in peace, bla bla bla" Wilbur mocked him. Techno shot him a deadly stare.
"Well Techno, I had a quick question, what would be the gift of your dreams?" Wil said, coming closer to him and sat in the chair in front of the bed Techno was laying in.
"Ugh, I know you'll not let me go, so I guess I have to answer. And I think it would either be a sword or the Art of War." He said, smiling a little bit.
"Okay, thank you dear brother, I'll note that in my head :)"
"How are your words smiling?"
"Oops, I broke the 4th wall, sorry"
"Eh?!"
~~~~~
"Father!! Me me hungy!!!"
"Wilbur, stop being a baby, I'll give you food, wait for a bit." He cracked a smile while Wilbur is being an idiot.
"Dad, I have a question?"
"Hm? What is it, son?"
"What would be the gift of your dreams?" Phil paused, deep in his thoughts.
"I... It's uhh.. please don't laugh at me, but the gift of my dreams, who could only be in dreams, is my wife to come back to life..." Phil said with a sad smile, he was reviving his past.
"Oh, oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"
"No, no it's okay, you just asked an innocent question, you did nothing wrong" his dad cut him off.
He sometimes heard about Phil's wife, Kristin. Apparently, she died when she gave birth to Tommy, but Phil never rejected the fault on his son.
"I'm still sorry" He apologized again.
"Really, it's okay, son"

District 21. It's the hideout of a lot of villains. People that live in there are poor, they either have difficulties with paying the house or are street rats.
The Heroes recently discovered a really dangerous drug in there. It increases the efficacy of the powers of the people that take it.
If it was a simple drug, from a poor district, then it would be fine, the Heroes would take care of it, but the problem here is that this drug was created by the government. They gave it to the heroes (them don't knowing it) and they gave it to villains too so there would be fights and heroes would gain popularity, people would believe in them. But if people found out about the link with the drug and the government, they were screwed. And people already got suspicions.
They got an idea.
Annihilate the district 21. The rumors will disappear.
~~~~~
Wilbur was going to Schlatt's to take back Tommy. It was ten pm and he decided to climb on the roofs before arriving, he wanted to watch the stars.
Up there, he smelled something. Something wrong. Like something was burned. He looked in the direction of the smell.
Fire.
The district was beginning to burn.
He ran to Schlatt's but when he got in front of the house...
Fire.
The house was on fire.
He didn't care, he ran into it. And the first thing he sas was Schlatt's body. The roof fell on him. He had no pulse.
He didn't have time.
He had to run to find Tommy.
He saw the door of the bedroom of the kids.
They were crying in each other's arms.
"TUBBO, RANBOO, TOMMY, PLEASE COME TO ME, I'LL GET YOU OUT OF HERE!!!" He didn't know why he cried, he needed them out of here.
"Wilbur, I-I don't w-want to d-ie..." Ranboo was crying and stuttering and trembling.
"Help us, please" Tubbo was pleading and had a big cut on his right arm.
"Brother..." Wii's heart stopped.
"I'm scared..."
Wilbur broke, crying, he grabbed the kids and told them to run with him.
~~~~~
The bakery was already ashes.
"NIKI!! PLEASE IF YOU'RE ALIVE ANSWER ME!!" Wilbur screamed with the three kids glued to him.
"W-wilbur...." He heard a small voice coming from behind the ashes. What he saw terrified him.
Niki had a hole in her stomach.
"I-i'm s'ry, Wil, I-I tr'd to run..."
"Niki, please stop talking, I, I'll find a doctor, I'm sure there is someone who can help you, I-"
"Wil, please, l'st'n, I want t-to, th-thank y'u for... Being, the b'st fri-iend I've ever had..." There were tears in both of their eyes.
"No, please, Niki don't say this, we, I can help you, ple-" her eyes closed.
No pulse.
He lost his best friend.
But he still had three scared kids, closing their eyes and following him.
He has to go to his house. Phil, Techno...
~~~~~
He took a car, he didn't know how to drive but he needed to be fast. The kids stayed in the car.
And when he arrived, the apartment was on fire too.
Run.
Run.
Phil was in the living room, laying on the floor.
He took him on his shoulder.
Now for Techno's room.
It was filled with smoke and Techno was coughing hard.
He took him on his shoulder too, but he knew he wouldn't make it to the exit like that.
"Guys, please, I've got the kids, don't leave me alone, you know I can't handle them.." he chuckled a bit.
That's when Phil woke up.
"Wil.."
"Dad!!"
"Wil, leave me here, save yourself and your brother. You're younger then me, you have to live and experience life. And after all... I'll join Kristin..."
"NO!! Dad!! Please don't do that to me!! Please, please don't leave me..." Wilbur was sobbing, and Phil pushed himself off of his shoulder.
"Goodbye, son, I'm happy I've got someone as wonderful as you in my life..." Those were his last words as tears streamed down his face and the roof fell on him.
His best friend. His dad. His 'uncle' (if you could call Schlatt an uncle in this story).
His brother. He has to save his brother.
"Ngh..." Techno tried to make a sound.
Wilbur got him out of the apartment. They were in front of the burning building.
"Techno please, stay with me, I can't lose you too..."
Techno signed, because it was too painful to use his voice.
'as annoying as you are, you're my brother and I love you. I- I don't want to die, but if I do, then live. I want you to live and to take care of Tommy, Tubbo, and Ranboo. I'm sorry, I don't want to leave you, I'm sorry...' and that's the first time he saw his older brother cry. After that, he stopped breathing.
Again. He lost someone again. Who was next, the kids?
No. He wasn't going to let them die. He'll protect them with his life.
~~~~~1 year later~~~~~
He placed a huge bottle of alcohol on the first grave.
"Schlatt, you were always a drunk man, I never knew someone who liked alcohol more then you. I hope you like my gift."
The second, it was a cat plushie.
"It was cute and simple, it suited you, Niki. Don't forget to feed him and keep him company, I don't want it to be alone" he chuckled like they used to.
On the third place, he didn't put anything, except his bucket hat.
"You already have the gift of your dreams, or so, I hope. I can only bring you your favorite hat, I always thought it looked dumb, but you never took it off. I hope you can show it to Mumza, old man"
The last, it was a sword and a book 'the art of war.'
"Techno, you always were someone complicated. You liked books like you loved to fight. You were smart and calm, but bloodthirsty in video games. I hope you enjoy my gift."
...
"Tubbo, come here. I wanted to give you this" Tubbo approached with a confused look.
It was bee plushies.
"Wilbur.... THANK YOU!!!" He cried in his arm.
"Ranboo, I've got you a shiny crown. You better like this 'cause it was fucking expensive."
"D-don't worry, I love it, thank you wil" he joined the hug too.
"Finally, Tommy, look what I have here."
Tommy approached, and what he saw...
It was a cow, a little baby cow.
"Wil..." His eyes were watering already.
"Come here"
They were all crying for their loss and for the little bit of happiness that Wilbur could give them. After a few minutes of crying, the four went to talk to the graves individually.
It was Wilbur's turn. But he already said most of it. He only had one thing left.
"Thank you... Thank you for loving me..."
Siren, number one villain, is born that day.
