what the fuck happened?
one moment, Y/N was hugging him and confiding in him, hell they almost kissed! but now, it was as if he didn't even exist anymore.
he'd greet him in the mornings, but Y/N would just walk by with a blank stare. he was staying at their house for christ's sake how the fuck could they avoid him this much!?
"i just don't fucking understand wilbur! what's his deal?"
tommy asked between spoonfuls of ice cream, tears prickling in the corners of his eyes. the tall man let out a hum, drumming his long fingers upon the picnic table they'd chosen to sit on.
tomorrow was tommy's last day with Y/N, and he had decided to meet up with wilbur to discuss his issues since wilbur probably knew what to do. they'd gotten some ice cream from a cart then stopped at a nearby park to sit down and talk.
"they've gone through a lot, tommy. what if they just... need some space? an almost-kiss can be overwhelming, especially if it could've been their first."
tommy practically groaned, slumping his torso over the table and getting chocolate ice cream on his shirt.
"but it's been days wilbur! you don't understand, they are actively ignoring me! not even a heads-up that they need time or anything like that, just straight-up avoidance. at first it was alright because I had S/N to talk to, but now it just hurts."
his voice was muffled by the table, and wilbur let out a sigh. the beanie-clad man lifted tommy up slightly to retract the cup of ice cream before speaking again.
"well, if that's the case you can try confronting him about it? since tomorrow's your last day you could just, flat-out ask what's the issue,"
wilbur offered the teen a napkin, which was received with a slap to his wrist.
"just try to be kind. you don't know what's going through his head, and if you are going to confront him it's best to approach with caution. by the way, there's chocolate all over your shirt now, please clean it, it looks like poo."
tommy sat back up and lazily wiped at the chocolate, spreading it more across his shirt before tossing the napkin into his cup.
wilbur frowned at the behavior and rolled his eyes, holding back the temptation to laugh before gathering all of their rubbish. once wilbur threw it all into a nearby bin, both he and tommy took a small stroll in the park, discussing recent events that didn't include anyone named Y/N.
while they walked, tommy had decided to confront Y/N. it wasn't like he had anything left to lose, right?
_________
when tommy arrived back at the L/N residence, it had been 20:55. nothing too late in his eyes, but it might as well had been the minute he walked through the door. it was dead quiet, all the lights in the kitchen and dining lit up while the rest were out. he'd be a liar if he said it didn't creep him out.
he nearly shit his pants when he looked at the couch, Y/N sat there with crossed legs and frog-themed pajamas. he chuckled slightly, hoping to make light of the situation.
"wow... you were so quiet I nearly missed you."
he fiddled with the hem of his shirt nervously, watching as Y/N's unwavering glare continued to stare him down. after several moments of (awkward) silence, Y/N finally got off the couch and fled to his room. tommy blinked in confusion, but shrugged and decided to follow suite and get to his own room.
"tommy?"
he halted at the voice, looking up to see S/N nonchalantly seated at the top of the stairs with his phone in hand. he looked to be occupied with whatever was on his screen, but his words were directed to tommy and tommy alone.
"they were worried about you. literally pacing up and down the hall once the sun started to go down. they forced me to call you, but you never picked up."
S/N explained, not taking his eyes off the damned phone while tommy took in all of this new information.
"oh. sorry, my phone died a little after 13:00, i got caught up hanging out with will i guess..."
the teen shrugged, getting anxious from S/N's unusual behavior. after a small pause of silence, S/N finally looked at him.
"well.... i guess you should go apologize to him. even though they haven't been speaking to you for days, i'm sure they secretly want to. he's my sibling, i know when he's lying."
S/N stood up from the step, giving tommy a small wave before closing his room's door behind him. tommy stood there for a couple of seconds before rushing up the stairs. right as he was about to pound on Y/N's door, wilbur's words came back to him.
if you are going to confront him it's best to approach with caution.
dickhead. at least he was a smart dickhead.
tommy gently knocked on the door, getting a small 'come in' from the other side before entering.
"what do you want S/N? i already told you, we're not watching that stupid-"
they stopped short once they saw tommy, their body tensing and their face slumping into a neutral expression.
"h-hey, Y/N."
no response.
"do you mind if i sit here?"
tommy closed the door behind him, gesturing to the edge of the bed with a small smile.
no response.
"all right i'm sitting anyway."
he sat at the edge of Y/N's bed in silence, Y/N watching him with blank eyes that seemed to drill into him.
after a minute of nothing, tommy let out a sigh.
"why.... are you avoiding me?"
Y/N quickly turned his head away from him. shit, that was too strong wasn't it? not careful or kind at all, god damn it.
"i-i'm sorry! maybe that was a bit blunt? i'll start over.... what's your deal? do you hate me?"
aaaaand he'd just made it worse.
Y/N watching him blankly, bringing his knees up to his chest before hugging them tightly. did he make them uncomfortable? god he was the worst, couldn't follow basic advice OR comfort someone.
"i don't.... hate you."
their voice spoke up, not daring to look tommy in the eye. tommy eyed them in confusion, shifting slightly closer to them.
"i just...."
tommy sat there expectantly, a thousand possible solutions running through his head on how to solve any issue Y/N was struggling with.
"... i need you to leave."
what?
Y/N slipped off the bed, leaving tommy even more confused.
"wh-what?"
"please leave.... i can't have you here right now."
tommy jumped off the bed, slowly growing angry.
"Y/N.... you can't just keep blowing this off! something is obviously bothering you and i want to help you because i-"
"tommy!"
he'd fucked up. he looked up at Y/N to see them enraged and crying. their eyes were filled to the brim with tears that were seconds away from spilling, and tommy nearly slapped himself right there.
"just.... leave. please."
tommy hesitated for a moment, before slumping over. he opened the door to Y/N's room, turning back to glance at them for a split second. Y/N had returned to his bed, facing away from tommy as he pulled a blanket over himself.
tommy let out a sigh, and closed the door behind him.
