As Tommy sat on the corner of his bed, waiting for Dream and Techno to walk in his room, he couldn't help but think of his friend. The other had only acted in a way that could be described as bizarre; Purpled had wanted to kill Punz not even five months ago and now he was crying because he wasn't with the dude? To say it freaked Tommy out was a huge understatement.
It terrified Tommy down to his core. He had no idea how to help Purpled, the boy was inconsolable, and he was almost positive Purpled was on the verge of getting violent with him. Tommy really wouldn't know what to do then, how was he supposed to protect himself from Purpled? How would he ever be able to hurt his friend to get away?
Maybe that experience just taught him a lesson; don't try to escape with a friend. Tommy would just need to leave this place alone and come back later to help them with the hunter academy. Before Tommy could that though, he really needed to figure a few more things out about his...new biology
It was no secret that Tommy was positively fucked, Dream told his as much, but maybe they would answer his questions if he was nice enough. The blonde felt like he knew what would be happening for that stunt he pulled and he was certainly not excited for it; if he could cause any distractions or delays, he most certainly would.
Upon having this thought, Tommy heard a knock on his door. He stiffened slightly, "Toms?" the voice sounded like Techno. "Come in." Tommy quietly yelled; gods, he felt like a small child again.
The two vampires opened the door, walking in with a blank expression. Their body language displayed a calmness that was ready to break if Tommy tried anything. Of course they were going to make this harder on him. Maybe they were just naturally calm but this seemed almost forced. Tommy knew for a fact, they were trying to hide their anger.
They only stared at him, eyes narrowed slightly with disappointment and possible worry. Tommy couldn't help but think about what was happening to Purpled right now. He had to imagine there wasn't much of a punishment due to the quick decision to go back. Tommy could only hope his friend got some sort of stern lecture on how that was a dumb idea. Anything then what he was about to go through.
"Can I only drink your blood?" The question slipped from his mouth. Tommy was aware this was a terrible time to ask such a question but, hey, it's better ask now then never. Techno only sighed at the small outburst, "yes Tommy, you are too young to digest human blood right now. I think you are aware though that we are here to talk about other things, Thomas."
Oh yay, first name usage, "listen I really am sorry for running but I came back!" Arguing was pointless in this situation, Tommy knew that, but he at least had to try to make his case. Even if his words fell upon deaf ears, he could say that he tried to go out with his dignity intact.
"Tommy we don't give a fuck if you came back on your own or not!" Tommy was taken aback, Techno never cursed. "You hurt yourself so you could buy more time and left with literally no blood to drink! What if Purpled had never had that breakdown? You probably would have drank animal blood and gave yourself food poisoning!"
Tommy could honestly say this got a million times worse when he found out what they were mad about. He so desperately wanted them to be mad at him for trying to escape, for trying to get away from his kidnappers. He couldn't explain why but there was something in his head that made him feel like absolute shit for making them worry. He hadn't even realized that he had started to cry.
"Listen Toms," Techno sat down beside him, "you really scared us when you left. You have no knowledge about yourself now and that can be a huge problem if we're not there to help you." Tommy felt that maybe he should have learned a few things about being a vampire before he left. That probably would have helped him quite a lot.
That small, whispery voice came back into Tommy's mind. It told him to latch onto Techno, to search for any sort of comfort he could get in his crying state. "Tommy..." Techno snaked his arm around the younger shoulder, something he leaned into, "what I'm about to do is with love. I just want you to learn your lesson."
Suddenly, that comforting hand had pushed Tommy down so he was over Techno's lap. He knew this would happen eventually but now that he was here, everything felt so much more scary. That new voice told him to stay still, to accept the punishment so it would be over quickly and he could get love after but his pride said to try and escape.
He didn't get much time to contemplate the decision however. A hand quickly came down on his ass, causing him to squeal. Tears flood down his face as the unrelenting hits kept up. It was an embarrassing moment for himself and he wished he could just disappear from existence.
He tried to occupy himself, to think of literally anything other then the pain he was experiencing and the tears that so easily came down his face. It was almost funny, Tommy had thought of himself as almost invincible after all the pain training he endured but the few blows he received on his sit spots only showed that it didn't do shit.
Tommy was surprised when it had ended. It lasted a short amount of time, possibly only a minute, before a hand only rubbed his upset back. Small shushes could be heard as Techno lifted Tommy up, trying not to sit him down so he wouldn't have to feel anymore pain.
Tommy wanted to be mad, gods he wanted to be furious! But he just wasn't. As Techno gently combed through Tommy's hair and Dream gave small praises, calling him a good boy, Tommy only felt at peace. It was finally over now and he could just get something to eat and go to sleep. Tommy was able to catch himself however.
This is probably just like what they did to Purpled. Puns probably gave the other love he had never experienced before and fucking brainwashed the kid into thinking he needed it! No, that would not happen to Tommy. "I will never let you brainwash me." Tommy could hear a small snicker above him.
"Is that so?" Techno said, pure love in his tone, "well, it's good that isn't apart of this process."
