THIS IS ALL PLATONIC, DON'T YOU DARE BRING SHIPPING INTO THIS YA NASTIES
Tommy sighs blissfully, tightening his hold on the warm figure underneath him and nuzzles into the soft sweater against his cheek. A soft, fond laugh flutters his curls, soon followed by a hand carding gently through the golden hair. Tommy immediately lets out a content hum, pressing up into the contact before settling back down into Wilburâs chest, his smile etched permanently into his cheeks.
This was what heâd been craving, what he'd needed. After weeks of vlogging, and editing, and seemingly endless work, heâd been given the opportunity to relax. Well, âgivenâ is kind of the wrong word. It was more Wilbur barging into his flat without warning to kidnap him and forcefully take care of him. Not that Tommy was complaining of course. Heâd willingly let the musician steal him away from his work any day, and besides, he needed the break. He was sure his eyes were going to turn into squares with how long heâd been staring at his computer screen.
As well as Tommy's own relentless hard work, Wilbur has been over doing it himself too. The Lovejoy tour took a lot out of him, and he was well overdue for a break. His band mates had put their foot down when Wilbur just about smashed into a door frame from stumbling around in his exhaustion. Ash was similarly tired after getting back from New York and having to jump straight into the Lovejoy gigs. The musicians all agreed they needed some time to recoup, and Wilbur's immediate go-to was his little brother. They hadn't seen each other in weeks, the world was without the Crime Boys and Wilbur wouldn't stand for it a minute longer. Air-go, kidnapping the blonde and bringing him back to his own flat for take out and cuddles.Â
It was a great relaxation combo.Â
Wilburâs hand smooths over his unruly curls once more, earning a pleased noise from the boy when he scratches at the scalp too. The brunette holding him so tenderly breathes out a quiet huff, fondness crinkling his eyes and softening his brow. âSunshine,â Wilbur murmurs quietly, thumb brushing along Tommyâs forehead, soothing the small wrinkles building there. âMy sunshine.â
Tommy mumbles incoherently, nudging his cheek further into Wilburâs sweater in an attempt to hide his embarrassment. â...âhush, Wil,â he murmurs, pretending there isnât a soft, pink flush slowly warming his face. ââM trying to sleep.â
Wilbur chuckles, warm and rich and loving. The arm still wrapped around Tommyâs waist tightens for a moment, Wilburâs other hand cupping the boyâs jaw and holding it there, an endeared smile lifting the manâs lips when Tommy leans into it fully. âSweet boy,â he whispers, unable to help himself. Tommy groans into his chest, a shy grin lifting his lips as he lightly bats at Wilburâs arm.Â
âStoooop,â he grumbles light-heartedly, âsoft motherfucker.â
Wilbur coos, hand still cradling Tommyâs face easing it to lift up towards him. âAwww, youâre blushing, Toms,â quietly murmurs Wilbur, heart melted to goo at Tommyâs red face and flustered smile. âItâs really cute bubs, very endearing- wha- hey. Hey, no, youâre not allowed to hide. Let me see you-â A startled, fond laugh mingles in Wilburâs words as Tommy wrenches his face from Wilburâs gentle grasp and shoves it into his sweater, ears burning brightly.Â
âTommyyyy~â Wilbur coos, giggles blending into the fond murmur. âStop hiding sweetheart, let me see your smile.â
âGet fucked.â Tommyâs flustered grumble rises into the air, laced with enjoyment and thinly veiled shyness. âActually die. Bastard.â
Wilbur pouts, despite Tommy not being able to see it. âBut Toms,â he says, - he does not whine, not at all - âThis is my Tommy Time, T.T if you will, I had to wait weeks for this.â
âAnd youâve got me, now shut up, youâre annoying.â
âYou wound me brother.â
âGood. Perish.â
âHey-â
Tommy takes a fistful of Wilburâs jumper, burrowing impossibly closer into his chest and lets out a long breath, his smile unable to be hidden even if he tries. Wilbur's antics were amusing no matter how tired he was. âYouâre such a dramatic piece of shit. Why are you like this?â
Wilbur scoffs, but it sounds unbearably fond. His hands are gently sliding underneath Tommyâs jaw to cup his face once more, thumbs brushing over his cheeks, temples, and brow and melting the boy into goo. Wilbur presses a kiss to the crown of Tommyâs hair, then gently knocks the bridge of nose into his forehead. With a voice like velvet, he answers Tommy's light-hearted jab.Â
âIâve missed you.âÂ
The admittance was easy. It was always easy. Though the reaction his soft words bring forth is an adorable surprise. Tommyâs fading flush returns, and he presses his head against Wilburâs like a cat, having to lean up a fraction to achieve it.
âIâve missed you too.â The words were just as genuine as his older brotherâs, and Tommy meant it with all of his heart. Wilbur makes a content noise, eyes fluttering shut as he basks in the comfortable warmth of his surrogate sibling.
He huffs a soft laugh as a thought crosses his mind. âIâm glad you did. I was afraid Ash would replace me as a big brother while you were in New York.â
âWell, I never said that didn't happen- hEHEhehey!â Tommy is thrown into a fit of breathy giggles as Wilburâs fingers slip under his jumper in an instant to skitter gently at his bare sides.Â
Wilbur grins softly, tickling the boy with a feather-light touch that has him giggling up a storm. âPlease, go on Tommy, donât let me stop you. What were you saying?â
âYohou're a pehetty bastard-â Tommy presses out, his hand in Wilburâs jumper tightens as the sensations crawl over his sensitive midsection. "Aehehey-! Alrihight, alrihight! S-Stophit!"Â
"Say I'm your older brother and Ash isn't," challenges Wilbur with a mischievous giggle.Â
Tommy squirms the best he can in his limited space, weighed down by Wilbur's arms and his own tiredness. "Eheat shihit ahand dihie!"Â
He only falls into louder giggles as Wilbur attacks his ribs gently, the touch similar to the feeling of a spider scuttling around. "Say it Tommy, or your ticklish belly is next~" he coos, nails gliding over the grooves and spaces between Tommy's ribs in an unguessable pattern.Â
Tommy whines and kicks the arm of the couch as he tries to get a hold of his tumbling giggles, which as you can guess, was not going as planned. âI-Ihihihi- yohohou bihihitch- dohohonât-â
âCome on, Tommy boy,â repeats Wilbur with a snicker, nimble fingers gently pinching and scritching along his tender ribs in a way that has Tommy writhing and giggling madly. âCome on~ I can do this all day, you know.â
âWil- WihiHIHIlbuhuhuhur!â Tommyâs voice gave in to a squeal, his body contorting to hide his soft stomach which has now fallen victim to Wilburâs wiggling nails as promised. His eyes squeeze shut and his laughter jumps higher in octaves as one of his most ticklish spots is being attacked. âPlehehease- Wihihihil ihihitâs sohoho bahahad!â
Wilbur giggles, though he does slow his fingers down to simply tracing around the sensitive skin, a small scratch appearing here or there to keep Tommy on his toes. The boy giggles, high pitched and mirthful, as the attack persists on his stomach.Â
"Yohohou're suhuhuch aha dihick," he gasps, grinning up at Wilbur with wet lashes.Â
Wilbur hums in agreement, priding himself on his gremlin nature. "I'm not hearing you admit it," he pesters for the hell of it, smirking down at the blonde.Â
Tommy lightly smacks his arm, shoulders bouncing with his lingering giggling. "Y-Yohou're- yohou're mihiy fahavorite brother," Tommy gasps out, managing to stick a hand behind him to hold Wilbur's wrist, not pushing him away, just hanging on. "Ash ihis stihill my brohother though, I wohon't say he ihisn't."Â
The gentle barrage ceases entirely, per the agreement. Tommy breaths out a grateful sigh, mirth on the edge of his voice as he playfully mutters, "Jesus Christ, you're gonna kill me one of these days with those attacks."
Wilbur didn't respond.Â
Tommy lifted his head to look at Wilbur and his eyebrows shot up to his receding hairline. "..Will?"Â
Wilbur was staring at Tommy with stars in his eyes, dewy tears clinging to the edges of his lashes.Â
Tommy startled into sitting up on his elbows, worriedly taking in Wilbur's shell shocked expression. "Are you okay? What's wro-"
Tommy choked on his words when Wilbur yanked him into his chest once more, hugging him with such ferocity Tommy swore he felt his ribs creak in warning.Â
"W-Wil, Wilbur-"Â
Wilbur eases up on the tight hug and kisses Tommy's forehead instead, bringing him back under his chin and nuzzling into the soft hair almost as if he was afraid Tommy would disappear if he didn't hang on. "You're my favourite too," he murmurs, "I love you buddy. I love you so much."Â
Tommy stares into Wilbur's jumper then burrows the best he can into the soft fabric, heart squeezing in affection. Silence cloaks the room for a while before Tommy's shaking voice breaks it.Â
"Asshole."
Wilbur laughs loudly, throwing his head back in his mirth and hugging Tommy close, legs coming up to entangle with the boy's own. Tommy tries to hug him tighter than he already is in turn.Â
"I love you too," he grumbles. "You're a prick for making me cry."Â
"Almost making you cry," Wilbur corrects, smirking at Tommy who glares back, tear track free.Â
"I'll cry at you in spite. Watch me."Â
"Consider me terrified," Wilbur concedes lightly, patting Tommy's head. "My worst nightmare; Tommyinnit spite crying at me."Â
"You'd better believe it, bitch."Â
Wilbur snickers, prodding Tommy's side and getting a sharp yelp. "Settle child."Â
"Says the dickhead who keeps poking me, you know my soft spot is my sides."Â
"Older bother privileges. Deal with it."Â
"Absolutely fucking not-"
Tommy quickly scribbles into Wilbur's upper ribs causing the man to screech loudly and scramble to sit up, wrenching away Tommy's hands the best he could.Â
"Tohohommy!"
"Younger brother privileges bitch!" Tommy crows loudly, grinning widely as he takes Wilbur apart. This spot is known to him and a few select others, secretly kept as it breaks the man down faster than side poking.Â
True to that statement, Wilbur was in fits of breathy cackles, trying to squirm away while Tommy was entangled with him.Â
"StoHOhoop- Tohohommy plehehease-"Â
"Nope! Revenge!"Â
"Ihihi'll- I'll shohow yohou revehehenge yohou gahangly fuhucker-"Â
"Oh, like hell you will." Tommy's fingers dive into Wilbur's hips, squeezing mercilessly and delighting in the scream Wilbur lets out.Â
"FUHUCK TOHOM!"Â
"Yeah, bitch! Laugh it up!"Â
Wilbur's shrieks of laughter bounce through the house, brought on by his little brother intent on revenge. No doubt Tommy would get a taste of his own medicine as soon as Wilbur could find an escape route. Getting away scot free for this kind of treason? Yeah right, not under Wilbur's roof.Â
In their defence, they'd missed one another, and they needed to make up for lost time of driving each other mad.Â
It's what brothers do after all.
