 Oh so tiny hands brushed against his skin, at the patches of light that followed up his cheekbones. If he hadn’t already been paying close attention to the human, he may have missed the touch entirely, but instead he marveled at how light Tommy’s touch was.

 “Why do they glow?” Tommy suddenly asked, derailing Wilbur’s fascination and making him hum in confusion.

 “What?”

 “Why do you have glowing spots on your face? What’s it for?” Tommy moved away from his face, backing up to allow Wilbur a clear view of him. Wilbur’s spots glowed brighter for a moment before they died back down.

 “They don’t have to be for anything, Toms. It’s just genetics.” Wilbur said, shifting his head slightly from his place on his desk. He prayed that Tommy would believe him.

 He didn’t.

 “Right.” Tommy crossed his arms. “I know they don’t just glow randomly. I just can’t figure out what does make them glow.” Tommy moved back towards his face, placing his hands on one of his spots once again. Wilbur couldn’t stop the next bright glow that lit up his spots but he did make the glow dim faster than normal.

 “Seriously, Tommy, they just glow. No rhyme or reason to them.” Please believe me, I don’t need someone else taking advantage of it. 

 Tommy hummed. And then he grinned and Wilbur could see that an idea had just formed. “Tommy…” He warned, although against what, he had no idea.

 His tone didn’t stop Tommy’s grin though, which actually made Wilbur happy, to know that Tommy really was no longer afraid of him. 

 “Hey Wilby.” Oh no. The sweetness in Tommy’s tone was thick but no less genuine and paired with the nickname, Wilbur could already feel his face lighting up. “I consider you my brother you know. My big brother, whom I love and think is very cool!” Tommy was really laying it on thick but even so, it had the intended purpose and Wilbur couldn’t stop his spots from becoming beacons of light. He covered his face in his hands as Tommy laughed.

 “I knew it! The glow is you blushing, right?” Wilbur groaned, which was all the confirmation that Tommy needed. The human then came over and tugged at one of Wilbur’s fingers, trying to get him to move his hand. “Come on Wil! I wanna see!”

 Wilbur sighed but took his hands away and set them down so they surrounded Tommy, practically boxing him in. Tommy didn’t seem to mind though. “Come on Toms, this is embarrassing.”

 Tommy scoffed. “As if you didn’t fawn over me when you found out my face goes red when I blush. I’m just returning the favor.” Ah, right, he had done that, hadn’t he?

 He supposed he could allow Tommy to marvel at him for a bit then. It’s not like Wilbur didn’t do his own marveling at Tommy every now and again. It was still hard to remember that to Tommy, and to Tubbo and Ranboo, they were the aliens.

 Wilbur split his pupils so he could still keep looking at Tommy, while also checking the time on the clock that was hung up on the wall, wondering when they should start heading down for dinner, when Tommy interrupted him. “Ew! Wilbur you’re doing that gross thing again, you b****, stop it!” 

A quick thanks to @leetlezeetle for the inspiration to work on this! Them talking about their alien au has inspired me to flesh out my own that was just sitting in my docs. :D

I'm gonna call it shooting stars au for now. Here's the summary:

Humans and Earth are so far completely undiscovered by the rest of the universe. They're about the size of most aliens hand, which makes them the smallest sentient life forms by a long shot.

Wilbur and Tubbo are scientists on an exploration vessel, the Dream SMP. Their ship happens across Earth, and they go down to collect samples. They find three humans, and since they're so tiny, they don't think they're actually sentient beings, just animals.

Phil is found by Wilbur, and Tommy and Ranboo are found by Tubbo. The aliens bring them and the other samples they collected back to the ship and leave.

However, none of them noticed a stowaway on board. Techno, Phil's friend, had seen the aliens and then seen Phil being taken by them. He snuck on board before they took off, and ends up being like a borrower on the ship.

Phil and Techno know each other, and Tommy and Ranboo know each other, but the two groups haven't actually met until this. Tommy and Ranboo know of Techno since he's a famous fencing nationalist, but they don't know him personally.

After studying the humans for a while, Wilbur starts to realize that they actually might be sentient despite their size. Which means they accidentally kidnapped people off of their planet. They're already pretty far from Earth, and need to refill at a station before they can even think about bringing them back. And to get them recognized in the galaxy as a sentient species, they'll need to pass a few tests. They let the rest of their crew know, and do their best to make the humans comfort while they're stuck with them.

The crew of the Dream SMP:

Wilbur (scientist)

Tubbo (scientist)

Dream (captain)

Quackity (lawyer)

Charlie (scientist)

Sam (engineer)

Puffy (doctor)

Foolish (copilot/captain)

Cuddles. So many cuddles. Tommy just climbs into bed and everyone just gathers around him to cuddle and sleep

Tommy can hide all the tinies at once in his neck fluff because it's so fluffy

George. George with Dream.

Tommy, Wilbur, and Philza sometimes sneak into the flying area at night so they can all fly together

You can't see or hear Wilbur coming when he's wrapped in his wings- so jumpscare

Ranboo likes to feel Tommy's wings and attene. He has a touch stim and their textures help him

Techno has been teaching Tommy and Tubbo to fight

Tubbo likes to sneak out on Tommy without Tommy knowing and watching Tommy freak out about his safety

Idk why I find this funny XD

Wilbur is the one who's bioluminescent. On his planet he was adept to the dark, so he's able to see in the dark and glows in the dark because this was something he would use for hunting and to warn preditors that he's pisionous! (Since the planet was so dark bright colors didn't work- but glowing did!)

When the lights go out Tommy immediately notices how brightly Wilbur is glowing and starts laughing along with the humans

Well I've already explained Wilbur a bit, but basically like a phantom from mc. His entire body is black (like, vantana black, which is the darkest shade of black and absorbs 99% of light-) with glowing blue wings that attach to his arms, and blue over where his face is. Along with a set of bright green eyes that also glow. Basically, anything that isn't black on Wilbur glows. He does have hair, it's also black but it's got speckles of blue that make it look like the night sky. His nose is kinda like the noses of the zora from loz botw (his nose is black). He has pointy elf like ears, that have blue on the inner part, but the outer part is black. Then he has fangs and claws as well.

And then there's Techno. Piglin. He is. Brute. Idk man I used all my creativity on Wilbur- but Techno does posses an extra amount of strength that isn't expected, even with his large muscular size. He's basically like an ant and has a huge strength buff, making him almost as strong as Tommy (but not quite there yet)

And then you didn't ask any Phil plus I'm still trying to figure out all the cool alien stuff for him anyways, so I'll get back to you on that

 Also all of this info is stuff that I’ve already said, just paired with pictures now!

 Wilbur is very lanky and tall. He has four arms and the spots on his face glow a soft blue color. The cloak around him is actually extra skin that is tougher than the rest of him. When he isn’t using it, it lays loosly on his back. He also has the ability to divide his pupils and focus on two things at once.

 Techno is basically a piglin but with a little twist. He is broad shouldered and fairly large. His skin is tough and hard to pierce and his nails are strong like hooves. He produces a healing liquid in his mouth and if he doesn’t empty it, it overflows and drools out of his mouth. His skin and blood both run hot, too hot for a lot of species to handle.

Yeeeeessss

They all huddle up against Wilbur and anyone who isn't over there, Tommy uses Wilbur as a flashlight to find them

XD

Techno and Phil are aliens!!!!!

And as for the glow- no, Wilbur can't turn it off, BUT he can close his wings around his glowing parts to covering his glowing to the point that he's a completely dark shadow (remember, he's the darkest shade of black that absorbs 99% of light on his non-glowing parts!))

So- if it's dark out and Wilbur wraps up in his wings, he's practically invisible!!!
