Huxleys Come In Many Forms

alternateunconfidence​:

Ted frowned a little when Felix confirmed his suspicions, that this Felix wasn’t his true brother. His little form wilted and his eyes grew sad, and he almost looked like he was about to burst into tears.

Ted yelped as he, as usual, literally dropped in, landing nearby with a thud.

Theo flinched and scrambled backwards at the thud, his eyes wide. He hugged his knees again, staring at Ted. At first, he thought it might be his brother, but then realized it was just another him from another universe.

Ted frowned, walking a little closer. “It’s okay- I won’t hurt you... I’m sorry be hurt you... Do you wanna talk about it?” He offered, sitting down near the other boy, clearly worried.

Theo met Ted’s eyes, tears still streaming down his face. He gave a tiny nod, crawling closer and leaning on Ted, wanting a hug. He sobbed softly.

Ted hugged Theo close, rocking him instinctively. He didn’t really know when he got used to people crying into him, but he was used to it by now. He just wanted to help.

Theo shifted so he could properly hug Ted, sobbing hard into his shoulder. His body was shaking with every sob, and his grip on Ted was firm. “I just- I just f-feel so alone. Nobody loves me...”

Ted simply let Theo cry, rubbing his back as he did. “I know, I understand...” He assured.

Theo cried for a few more minutes, then his sobbing died down into sniffles and whimpers. He buried his face into Ted’s chest before he looked up. “You’re a good person... thank you.”

Ted nodded, smiling down at Theo. “Anytime.. I’ll be visiting, so you won’t be alone, okay?” He hummed, tilting his head.

Theo hummed as well, nuzzling Ted’s shoulder. He seemed a lot calmer, and he was no longer shaking. He simply seemed better in general. “Thank you... thank you...”

Ted smiled, perking up as his hands were moved. Instinctively, he pat his new friend on the cheeks. He usually only did that to Nugget, but he had no issue doing it to Theo.

Theo gave a tiny smile, sniffing quietly. He moved back into Ted’s arms, sobbing a little. “I barely know you, and you’re being so nice to me...you’re so warm and nice...”

Ted gladly wrapped his arms around Theo again, rubbing his back. “I just wish your brother could be nicer... I don’t want to replace him.” He shook his head.

Theo looked up, wiping his eyes. He shook his head sadly. “I can’t... they don’t know I’m alive. I don’t have anywhere to go, really... I live outside now...” he said softly.

Felix was already somewhat annoyed and it definitely didn’t help that he couldn’t find Teddy. “TEDDY!!”

Saying Felix was startled was an understatement. The boy stumbled forward, having not expected to be jumped on. Felix caught himself though before her could get hurt further than he was after fighting Buggs.

Ted was about to go on about how happy he was to see his brother, but then he felt pain shoot through his stomach. He jerked back from the source of pain, falling to his knees and holding his abdomen. “Ow!”

Ted furrowed his brow, tilting his head in confusion. He put his hand on Felix’s shoulder, smiling in bemusement. “Um... what does that mean? Imbecile?” He asked sheepishly.

@scared-of-spiders2 liked for a wholesome au starter!

Ted shook his head. “Theo,, Some worlds are just better than others. I’ll explain it when we’re a little older, okay? I promise…”

“ But… But what’s wrong with them? I still don’t understand… “ Theo frowned, biting his lip. “ I can understand it now. Please, don’t hide things from me… “

Ted sighed. “Okay, okay… I’ll tell you about one world. Would you like to know about mine or a different one?”

Theo nodded a little, considering the question. He bit his lip before he glanced up at his new friend. “ Um… tell me about your world… if that’s okay… it’s not scary, is it…? “

Ted sighed, debating a bit. Eventually, he started responding. “Well… Father doesn’t like me all that much. Or at all… Mother doesn’t remember me a lot of the time. My classmates… Are scary. But some are denegot nice… Buggs isn’t, I just managed to be his friend… Ron’s super nice though, and Monty is nice to me too…”

As Theo listened, his expression got progressively more bleak. He curled up, wrapping his arms around himself. Tears came to his eyes, then started falling down his cheeks. How could that all be true? It couldn’t be, right?

Ted frowned. He didn’t mean to make Theo cry-

Theo hugged back immediately, letting out tiny sobs into Ted’s shoulder. He held on like his life depended on it. Theo wanted to believe that Ted was happy, but… something about him was so sad.

Ted nodded, giving Theo a smile. “Yeah… Even if my home isn’t all that great, I get to meet people like you!” He chirped playfully, lightly patting Theo’s cheeks and then gently wiping his tears away.

Theo giggled softly, leaning into the touch and gently grabbing Ted’s hand, placing it back on his cheek. He smiled, sniffling just a little. He really did feel better. Ted was so nice, wasn’t he? “ Yeah… I guess so… “

Ted let Theo move his hand, then nodded at the question. “Mhm.. That sounds nice, Theo… We can color until I go home.”

Theo brightened up, squeaking happily and hopping off of the chair. He picked up Cherry, then lead Ted by the hand up to his room. The room was covered in shelves of little trinkets and the walls were spattered with many drawings.
