Work Text:
Night fell ,like it always does ,across L’Manburg. Tommy was wandering around the back alleyways around his apartment complex as he would rather not have to go back in his dimly lit room.
His mind crept away from his body and went over the day’s events: clocking in at exactly 7:30pm ; a kid getting lost ,stumbling in; loud bangs from what he guessed was a gang fight in a alley; the Tv flicking on to a hero and villain fight in some rich part of L’Manburg and locking up at 1:30am
“Now why are you around here at this time ?”a voice called.
Tommy snapped his head round to look at the person talking to him.
Two men stood,side by side. One man was dressed in blue with jewels hung around his neck and on his shoes. His trousers were grey and tight fitting,his boots were black and leather with small knives strapped to the side,he had a brown trench coat covered in little trinkets and pins, his hair was brown and curly with a parting swooshing most of his hair at the front to the right hand side,he had a thick fabric bandana strapped around his eyes obscuring them. Siren.
The second man had a dark green shirt tucked into his trousers that also matched his top, he had a black jacket that was rolled up to his elbows at the sleeves, he wore flip flops and white socks ,his blond hair curled up at the ends flicking out and pointing out under his white and green bucket hat, black wings stretched out dragging behind him . Zephyrus.
“Walking around ,ovs bitch boy!”Tommy responded.
“Oh ,no need to get upset,child “
Siren remarked.
“I AM NOT A CHILDDDDDD”
“Shure” Siren snapped back ,looking at Tommy with a disapproving look then did what Tommy assumed was him rolling his eyes even though he couldn’t see it.
Tommy just thought that he was not running on enough sleep and needed to crack some cheap ass energy drink .
He pulled a random energy drink out of his shallow pocket ,much to the two villains shock. He pushed forward the can tab with a pop then pushed it back then he proceeded to take a sip and rub his eyes.
“Mate,what the fuck are you doing?”Zephyrus asked with a tad bit of surprise.
“Trying to have a heart attack!WHAT DO YOU THINK?”Tommy then paused but then explained “Trying to stay awake and not get myself killed “.
“Now why would you want to stay awake at this ungodly hour at your age?”Siren questioned with a laugh.
“Would you wanna be haunted in your dreams by souls that you once knew and have to be with a certain person if you want to get real sleep?”Tommy snapped
“I can’t tell if you are telling the truth or not “they both said in sync.
“Wish I was wrong “Tommy whispered with a look of horror from Zephyrus and a stare Tommy could feel through Sirens blindfold.
“Well I’m Tommy ,Irealygottagososeeyoumaybe byeeee”Tommy yelled while making a run for it.

“What the fuck just happened Phil?”
“Well should we track him down or not Wilbur?”
“That’s the only reasonable thing to do in this situation if I’m honest.”

“Shit ,fuck,nooooooo” Tommy breathed under his breath. What was he doing, what if someone saw ,what if they tell ,what if…..
Before Tommy knew it he had mindlessly ran towards the cafe were he worked ,he slumped down against the rough brick walls and started sobbing thinking what might happen and with lack of sleep. The sleep deprivation hit like a brick to the head knocking him out into another painful and horrific sleep.
Little did he know just a few steps away was Jester watching in complete shock and disbelief.
Of course Jester felt bad for the kid and removed his jacket to lay it atop the kid then swiftly picked up the boy into his arms set him down in a front car seat making sure to put the coat properly on him as he looked blue with the cold.
The drive was silent and quiet until Tommy woke up.
————————
“Ughhhh”Tommy wined as he rubbed his now watering eyes.
“God ,I thought you weren’t going to wake up there kid” a voice sighed then turned to look at him .
He wore a white button up shirt ,tucked into black pants, he had necklaces draped around his neck made of gold and two shiny rings,his shoes were black and shone as if they were new ,his decently long black hair fell around a mask similar to his friends dreams mask,with a more square smile and a light pink streak going through one eye.Jester.
“What the fucking prime?” Tommy yelled.
