Chapter Text
Wilbur hated George.
He didn't find his personality or his habits annoying. In fact, he could care less if George spent half his time, napping in a tree or a rock whenever the group stopped to take a break. He could care less about how George would sometimes complain about his back.
He hated the fact that George really thinks he's human.
George was clearly a phantom hybrid. How could no one see it?
Of course, Wilbur had Voices that told him the future but regardless, George was stupid and Wilbur hated him.
"Are you really sure you're just human?" Wilbur asked, looking over the side of the mountain. They had to climb a mountain to keep moving forward and so far George was the only one who hadn't gotten up. Currently, he was waiting for Sam to come back down to help him out.
'Gogy needs his daddy's help' The Voices teased.
"Of course I am. Sorry, I can't climb mountains like you, pig" George sneered.
"Sapnap did it and he's practically human. Besides, I'm practically human as well" Wilbur chuckled. "Even Tommy did it"
"Sapnap is a blaze hybrid, he floats! I know you have the resilience of a piglin" George argued. "And Tommy was carried!"
"Don't worry I'm sure Sam will carry you if you ask" Wilbur teased.
Wilbur didn't like George but he did enjoy making fun of him. Especially when his face would get red from anger.
He didn't really like the consequences after.
"Wilbur! Stop tormenting George and come help with Tommy's diaper!" Puffy commanded.
He really didn't like the consequences after.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Chopping trees was hard work. Which is why Sapnap was doing most of the hard work and Wilbur just tried to get under his skin.
"So Sapnap, do you not see Sam or Puffy as your parents?" Wilbur asked, clearly surprising the blaze hybrid.
"What?" Sapnap turned around, away from the tree.
"I asked-" Wilbur started.
"I know what you asked. But what the hell?" Sapnap interrupted.
"Dream calls Puffy, mom. George calls Sam, dad. And you, just call them by their name" Wilbur noted.
"You don't call them mom or dad" Sapnap argued.
"I've only known them for around a month now. From what I've heard, you seem to have known them for years now. I mean after losing your original parents, I'd assume they would be the next-"
"Don't you dare talk about my dads" Sapnap growled. "My dads will always be my dads. No one can just take their spot. Sam and Puffy take care of me and that's it. They are not my parents"
Wilbur noticed that Sapnap's fists were clenched. "Are you going to set me on fire?" He asked.
"No. Puffy would be upset. Probably Sam as well" Sapnap huffed. "You do know they care for you right?"
Wilbur laughed. So did the Voices.
"And George is a hybrid!" He laughed. A few Voices mentioned that he actually was.
"You're such an ass. They do. Now let me just chop down some trees" Sapnap dismissed Wilbur with a wave of his hand and then he kept chopping.
Wilbur sat there, thinking.
"You're a bad liar, Sapnap." He blurted.
"What are you talking about now?" Sapnap groaned.
"Puffy and Sam don't care for me like they do the rest of you. They just felt bad" Wilbur grinned. "You don't have to lie to make me feel better"
"Puffy and Sam get attached to kids, all kids. Even assholes like you."
"Exactly they get attached to kids, not teens. Especially not teens like me" Wilbur argued. "They adopted you all when you were kids, not teens. See word choice is important"
"You're so difficult!" Sapnap exclaimed, his hair bursting into flames for about a moment before it returned to normal. "I'm done talking with you" He decided and began to walk away.
Wilbur chuckled.
'He'll be back' The Voices informed him.
So Wilbur sat there, waiting.
------------------------------------------------------------------
"Give me Tommy! " Dream exclaimed from upstairs.
Meanwhile, Wilbur had just rushed out the door, Tommy in hand. "It's my turn, green boy!" He yelled, not caring whether Dream heard him or not.
Tommy was smiling the whole time.
'Tommy! Tommy! Tommy!' The Voices exclaimed as Wilbur ran. He planned to hide in a tree or something.
"Just got to run a bit further and then we can hideout," Wilbur told Tommy with a grin. "Green boy had you for your naptime, it's my turn"
"Wilbur! Come back here!" Dream yelled from somewhere behind Wilbur.
Wilbur couldn't help chuckling as he hid behind a tree, waiting.
'Stay quiet' The Voices whispered.
"Wilbur! Where the hell are you!?" Dream shouted. "The forest is not a safe place for Tommy!"
Tommy began to shift, hearing Dream's voice. Wilbur just hummed softly to calm him down.
'The forest may not be safe but I got him' Wilbur thought. He wasn't physically strong but he had a strong singing voice. He'll be fine.
"Wilbur, just give me Tommy before he gets hurt. " Dream pleaded. "I'll even let you keep him" He promised, though Wilbur knew that was a lie.
"You had him for his naptime, Dream. It's my turn now!" Wilbur yelled as he began to run. He was right too considering the very fast footsteps he began to hear. "Let the favorite older brother have Tommy!"
"You are not the favorite, Tommy! I spend more time with him than anyone besides Mom!" Dream argued. "You don't even spend time with him!"
Wilbur stopped. He was right. Wilbur really can't remember the last time he spent time with Tommy. He looked down at Tommy. "Tommy." He stated.
Tommy looked up and stared.
Dream caught up. "Wilbur! Give me Tommy back, it is my turn, and it's dangerous here"
"Of course, Dream. I don't want to deal with changing him" Wilbur laughed before he practically shoved Tommy in Dream's hands. The rough transfer making Tommy fussy a little. "Goodbye," Wilbur waved before he began to walk away.
"Wait what-Wilbur!" Dream called, confused to Wilbur giving up so easily.
Wilbur just kept walking.
'You're horrible' The Voices told him. 'Go home'
Wilbur wondered if that would be better for him.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Wilbur, what are you doing?" Sam questioned.
"Just holding Tommy," Wilbur answered, rocking Tommy. "The Voices told me he was fussy." He said casually.
Sam sighed. "I don't get the Voices. Who are they? Do they just tell you stuff randomly? How do you-"
"Did you come to question me or check on Tommy?" Wilbur interrupted, with a smile.
"Both, I guess," Sam admitted.
"Well Ill answer one question and then you can have Tommy" Wilbur compromised. "Since I'm so nice"
Sam stood there, thinking.
'He'll probably ask something about the Voices' Wilbur thought.
"Why did you come with us?" Sam asked. Wilbur was not expecting that.
He quickly recovered though. "Well I can't just trust some strangers with my precious baby brother" He grinned. "Especially one who wasn't careful with checking for alarms." He teased. Wilbur turned around to face Sam and was surprised to see the intense face.
"Don't like Wilbur. Puffy told me how desperate you had sounded when you asked her to take you with her. Just exactly made you so desperate?" Sam asked.
"I said I would only answer one question" Wilbur joked, trying to ease Sam. It didn't seem to work.
"Wilbur. Please, what made you desperate?" Sam asked, his voice calm. It made Wilbur feel weird. He wasn't use to it.
"I just wanted to leave that's it. Sam, you should stop" Wilbur looked away. 'He won't stop, people don't stop. They always keep going.'
Sam was silent. "I understand. I'm sorry Wilbur. Have a good night" He nodded before he just left, leaving Wilbur and Tommy.
"What...?" Wilbur stood there, confused.
Why did he stop? He wasn't supposed to stop. He was supposed to question him more. They were supposed to argue. Wilbur would taunt him. Sam would threaten him. If it got heated then, Wilbur would be punished.
Why did Sam stop?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Wilbur liked sitting outside with Tommy. He didn't do it much, usually off doing his own thing but when he did they would just play or just sleep. Today, Wilbur just talked.
"How do you look like Dream?" Wilbur asked Tommy. He didn't get an answer. "You don't have similar eyes, hair, or anything. It's close but it's all Philza's. But you somehow look like him now"
'Puffy is behind you'
"I think he also looks like you," Puffy said. Wilbur turned and tilted his head. "You both have the same nose." She explained.
"Really? I think we look very different" Wilbur looked at Tommy again.
"Well you do but there are similarities. I can tell that you two are siblings" Puffy smiled.
Wilbur frowned. "We do, don't we?"
"Do you not want to look like siblings?" Puffy asked, sitting down next to the two.
Wilbur stayed quiet for a moment, thinking. "No. Techno and I are twins, we grew up together. He will always be my brother. But Tommy...we're already so different. He shouldn't have me for a brother" He chuckled. "I'm so attached to the idea of Family and I don't understand why. I never cared before, then he was born and here I am being much more vulnerable than before." He ranted.
"You didn't want him to be hurt too. You understand that kids deserve love especially because you didn't get it." Puffy explained. "And hopefully, being here has shown you some of that love you deserve."
"How do you know so much? I'm not very open" Wilbur chuckled.
Puffy sighed. "I know Philza wasn't a good man. I heard his plans for Tommy, so I can only assume just how horrible he was to you." She admitted.
Wilbur chuckled. "He was horrible even to Techno. Made us train at such a young age. When Techno showed promise, his training got more intense while I was trained to make my voice stronger even if it was a less desirable ability." He explained. "So I guess you are right. I didn't want Tommy to be like that. To be like Techno and me."
"And he won't be. Not here." Puffy promised. "And you're safe too. Remember that. I know you have a bit of a rough time with the others, but just know that we are here. Sam and I, are here for you. " She smiled. "I promise"
Wilbur hasn't cried in a while. He didn't have any reason to.
Tommy began to cry and Wilbur joined him.
Puffy comforted them both. "It's okay. It's okay"
And for once, Wilbur thinks it will be.
