I. I'm Not Crying You're Crying | Noth - January 10th
Gifts. Tommy was getting used to all of this. The New Tick thing isn't new to him, this world isn't new to him, and he knows what to avoid here. Tommy really think he's got it made, even if it's really cold and he wants to wrap himself up pretty tightly. Nothing was going to get him down here. At all.II. Happy To Babysit | Noth - After January 10th
And then he opens his first gift. Tommy's just sitting there on the barn floor, opening a box of clothing, and staring down at it in shock. With tears in his eyes. His eyes were stinging as he lifts the pieces out. A long green scarf with subtle embroidery over it. A deeply green vest with silver embroidery. A shirt that billows. There's words for each piece, ones he doesn't remember how to say, or which they are.
He's in tears just seeing it. This... is not something he ever knew to look for. To want. And yet with it in his hands, he can't imagine having anything else.
Really, he should have told people about the chocolates. He should have warned them. It was frustrating. Why hadn't he warned people about this? But it was too late, there were kids around in a lot of places. Sure the Agrii seemed amused and interested, and now here he was.III. Take Your Plant On A Walk | Agrii Green Room
"Hey there kid," he calls out. God, how do you babysit a kid who probably has heard of stranger danger?
"Tell me, did you eat any chocolates recently?"
Stupid chocolates. He should burn them all.
If there was anyone that was absolutely chill with spending time with Agrii on the Agrii ship, it was Tommy. It had been him that had been the first to touch an Agrii, him to get the first hug, him to absolutely embrace the idea of being cheered on by these weird, cheery people. So of course he's here, out in the Green Room, happily stretched out on a path with Agrii either walking around him or stopping to stare.
Or maybe they're staring at what's at his side. A clay pot holding some growing vine. One that is clearly 'fruiting'. Except... Are those bagels? Is the plant growing bagels? Well hell. That's a whole thing.
One that doesn't seem to bother Tommy at all.

"I'm not close to them. My mom and my uncle. Or my dad. Any of my parents actually. That... that I could have this means a lot. If this is in my future, it means they care. They give me this piece of our history."
And unlike Billy, he was really trying to learn it all. Because Billy had his own family, the Kaplans, who loved and accepted him. And the Shepherds... weren't that.
"This is a promise of family."

Anyway, wholesome vibes. Sonic doesn't actually have any idea what to say, he doesn't really have any sort of baseline for what a real family is supposed to be like. But he does see that Tommy's all emotional and... maybe he needs a hug? Sonic can do that! He's kind of already flomped on him, so he just gives Tommy a quick squeeze.

"Thanks, Sonic."

"I feel like there's something profound or meaningful I should be saying, but words aren't really my best skill. I'm just glad you have this, man."
no subject
"Me too," he says as he wipes away the teats that had been sneaking up in his eyes.
