In One World, Tom And Maddie Are Nicky’s Cool Uncle And Aunt. They Live On Another Island, Like Most

In one world, Tom and Maddie are Nicky’s cool uncle and aunt. They live on another island, like most humans, but it’s always an exciting day when they come to visit. Tania races to the door when they come in, holding a basket of presents for each of the kids filled with candy from their town and fun toys they picked up since they saw them last. They have long conversations with Paulie and Brenda that the kids don’t understand, they hate listening to adults talk about work and politics and the weather, so they instead play with their new toys until their parents leave and let their Aunt and Uncle babysit. Tania excitedly sits on Maddie’s lap as she infodumps about this new Sonic character who frequently appears to help them out. “I got kidnapped by Eggman once,” she says, oblivious to the flash of worry in their eyes, “But Sonic got me out, it was really fun. Nicky still hasn’t met him.” Nicky shrinks in Tom’s lap and says something about how he’s always in the wrong place, and Tom gives his arm a squeeze and tells him that it’ll happen soon, and besides, he’s just as cool as Sonic is. Nicky grins. Tania then tells them that Nicky has a giiiirlfriend now and Nicky leaps across the room to slap his hand over her mouth as the adults laugh.

In another world, they meet Sonic and Tails together. Sonic is the hero of mobius, they knew of him, but they didn’t realize how young he and his sidekick were until they ended up in their town, warding off a giant robot. They both looked at each other and thought the same thing, and invited the children for dinner. The kids were energetic, truly, and loud, and didn’t seem to understand boundaries, but they were polite and delightful and excited to be there. Tails played with their dog in the living room as Sonic tried out their treadmill. When he came to watch Tails, he got a bit quiet, and turned to Tom, asking that “if stuff keeps happening to Tails, would you guys be willing to watch him?” Apparently Sonic had previously tried to find Tails a home, and it didn’t end well. Tom knelt down, putting his hands on Sonic’s shoulders, and told him that either of them were welcome any time. They could stay as long as they wanted. “I’m not one to stay in one place,” Sonic said, though a smile slid onto his face, “But I’ll keep that in mind.”

There’s another world where they aren’t born on Earth– or, Mobius as it’s been called for thousands of years– but instead on another human planet. They hear that Mobius is requesting aid, and stop by, as Maddie is a doctor trained in several species and Tom can provide protection if need be. They apparently just rid themselves of a dictator, and the little chipmunk princess has just figured out how to reverse roboticization, so they need a lot of help in restarting their society. Sonic and Tom worked together attempting to hunt down stray robots, and now Sonic follows him around, asking questions about his job and his planet and sometimes getting him to teach him and his friends baseball. “They’re so young,” Maddie said once, looking at them. “Sonic just turned sixteen. And they were fighting a losing war for ten years.” She met Tails at her office when he came in after crashing, because Dulcy told him that she was super nice and helpful, and now he’ll crawl into her lap to read stories. Then there’s the princess, the little girl that sometimes shows up to drag Sonic into something– or out of something. But one day she came over for dinner, when Sonic and Tails were invited. She shuffled her feet, mumbling that she could go if she wasn’t welcome, but they of course let her in. She held herself with dignity, talked with them about adult matters, but they still looked at her and saw a child, and it was heartbreaking. “You know,” Maddie said after dinner, as Tails flew around the backyard with their dog, “If you ever need a break from princess-stuff, we have some fun human games we’d love to teach you.” Sally smiled a little, saying something about how she was a leader and leaders never took breaks… but she would love to come over sometime, if it was really alright. Bunnie would and Antoine spar with Tom and learn techniques from him while teaching him their own, and Rotor would have pleasant conversations with them while repairing things with Tails and helping Maddie cook. Dulcy, meanwhile, was used to them first, as her crashes ended up with her in the vet’s office more times than she could count. By the time Sonic and Tails moved in with them, all of these Freedom Fighters were comfortable enough to walk into their house, plop on their couch, and scream into a pillow about council matters or trade deals or anything, really. The adults would listen and laugh, and then take them all out for ice cream, along with their friends. 

There’s a universe where a lot of stuff happened, and they’ve all been through a lot. Roboticization or exile, underlander or overlander, more revolutions than they can count. But Tom met Jules during a robian rights meeting, and Maddie became acquainted with Bernadette at a group therapy meeting, and so they met Sonic eventually. He was awkward around most adults, but he seemed to like them fine, liked playing games with them and rambling about “stupid dating issues” and once climbed on Tom’s back for a ride. Tails became acquainted with them much faster, as Tom and his dad used to work together, and he slipped into calling them “Uncle” and “Aunt” faster than they expected, though it was a welcome surprise. Knuckles met them through his friends, and well… once, he crashed on their couch, awkwardly explaining that he didn’t want to go home to his father, and his mother was too far to reach by tonight. He crashed quite a few times, actually, and after a while the two of them made a mental note to fight anyone who forced him to grow up too fast. They knew a lot of this group’s friends, sometimes by coincidence. Maddie knew a lot of them from her medical practice, and Tom from his guard duties. (He’s arrested Rouge once, that had been “fun.”) And one day, Sonic comes to them hand-in-hand with a little girl named Hope, saying that her team is on a mission and he doesn’t want her to be alone. Hope is awkward for a few days, and then one night falls asleep against Maddie’s shoulder, and plays ball with Tom in the backyard, and joins them for movie nights. One night she tearfully tells them about her heritage, only to find out they already knew and couldn’t care less,  and from that day on she has her own bedroom, and their number for emergencies, and a warm hug whenever she needs one. 

There’s a time when they live on Planet Freedom, in the land of the clouds. Tom is still a guard here, working for the President and his daughter, though it seems that Robotnik always shows up when he’s somewhere else. Seira introduces him to Sonic on a day where Sonic needs outside assistance for a Robotnik plot, and they hit it off like a house on fire. Tails is a little upset for a while, thinking Sonic is ignoring him, but then Tom scoops up Tails in his arms and puts him on his shoulders for a ride and Tails laughs for the first time in a while. Tom comes home and tells Maddie about them and they’re invited over, and when they find out the children are living alone on a beach, Maddie immediately says “That’s not happening” and refurbishes the attic for them. Knuckles stops by randomly after that, just appearing in their kitchen one day and eating their peanut butter as he asks where Sonic is, he needs him for a treasure hunt. Maddie, who found him, takes it in stride, and packs them both lunches. Before she knows it, Knuckles is camping out in their yard, wanting to stay outside but also knowing he has a safe place just a few feet away.

There’s a world where they were on the run for years. They managed to keep their heads low for a time, but then Tom was nearly captured, recognized as a former ally of the Queen’s, and Maddie crushed a robot with a wrench and smashed it to bits before they took off. They’d hopped from place to place, trying to help where they could, to save people being surrounded by robots, to lift crying kids into their laps and treat their wounds and sing them a song. It’s been about fifteen years since the takeover when they hear rumors that Robotnik set a trap for Aleena’s children in the nearby mansion, and so they go to stop it, of course. Tom finds Sonic surrounded by bots and shoots them down, before grabbing his arm and telling him to follow him. The terrified blue boy shakes his head, shouting something about how he’s not going to be roboticized, he has to find his siblings, and Tom has to take a second to calm him down and explain that he’s trying to help. Meanwhile, Maddie has found the other two, trapped in a room awaiting roboticization, and they have the same reaction, desperate to find Sonic and terrified that this human is with their enemy. Maddie has to put a hands on their shoulders and look them in the eye and talk them through a calming breathing exercise, before telling them that she was a medic in the palace once. “I worked with your mom,” she tells them, “As did my husband. We’re not going to hurt you.” she smiles, then, and says, “I saw you as babies once. Your heads were huge.” She holds their hands and runs them out, and they find Tom and Sonic in the hall, and make their way to safety. The triplets tell them about a safe village they can go to, one that has a lot of refugees that will need assistance, and once they’re settled in, Maddie tells them that she left a room open for them if they need it. “And your echidna friend– don’t think I didn’t hear him say he lived alone.” The siblings have been on a mission for a while, but Tom and Maddie can’t wait to introduce them to their new foster child, a refugee named Tails who keeps fiddling with their machines and flying into walls, who took to calling them “Dad” and “Mom” incredibly quickly and purrs and kicks when he sleeps. It’s a few nights before the hedgehogs will arrive when there’s a purple blur out their window, and a note that says simply thank you on their porch.

There’s a time when Tom and Maddie know of Sonic, Tails and Knuckles distantly. They’re on TV, saving the world; they’re aliens from another dimension, apparently. Then one day they’re nearby, fighting robots, and Tom runs into them in the street, with the rest of their team and a boy who can’t be older than twelve. He hides them in the station for a while, but offers his home for the night, calling ahead to make sure Maddie’s okay with it. Tails and Amy find Ozzie to be strange, more used to anthropomorphic dogs, but he warms up to them quickly and soon they’re chasing him around the yard with Cream and Cheese. Cream stops at one point to help them with dinner, excitedly telling them about all the things Ella has taught her. Knuckles has his arms crossed, muttering about how he should be on his way, but Sonic elbows him in the ribs and tells him to lighten up a little. The little boy, Chris, is polite and kind, if a little socially awkward, but they can tell there’s something wrong. He clings too close to Sonic, looking panicked when he’s not there. He doesn’t talk much about his family, instead encouraging the aliens to talk more, and sometimes stares into the distance, as if he can’t hear them. He’s lonely, they think, and they make sure to include him where they could. They left after that night, and they thought that was the end of it, just a pleasant night– but it’s a few years later when the portals open again, and there are Black Arms in the streets, and they find themselves sheltering the aliens again. They’re in a bunker, with a room for the Master Emerald that Knuckles sleeps in. Tom stops by a lot, giving him updates and listening to his advice, before one day gently telling him that he can switch guard duty out every now and again; they’re all happy to help. Knuckles hmms, and shrugs, which is as good as they’ll get from him, so Tom sits beside the emerald while Knuckles takes a long, long nap. Chris is older and wiser, and he has his friends with him. Tom talks strategy with Helen while Danny and Frances help Maddie patch up the injured. When Maddie goes into the hall for a break, she finds Tails, curled up against the wall. She sits beside him. He’s seemed quieter, older than he was when she last saw him, more reserved and mature. Which is strange, because only a few months had passed in his world. She looks down at the potted plant in his hands and tells him that as long as he’s in this world, their house is his. He looks to her, and slowly passes her the pot. “Don’t let anything happen to her, please.” he says quietly. “She’s the last of her species, and… I lost her…” his voice trails off, trying to find the right word. “I guess it’s her mom. She was so young, she didn’t deserve…” he blinks back tears. “I hate that we couldn’t save her. But I won’t let this seed fall the same way. I just… please. Just make sure nothing happens to her, while I fight.” Maddie hugs him tight, and says that nothing will happen to either of them. Sonic isn’t there much, but when he is, he has a grateful look in his eyes when he sees them with his friends, when he sees Maddie putting flowers in Cream’s fur or Tom teaching Amy how to fire a gun. He doesn’t say much, really, but everything between them is alright being unsaid.

There’s another world where most humans live on continents, it happens in a lot of worlds. Their kids moved out to fight crime professionally a while ago, and they’re fine with that. But they stop to visit their new island village sometimes, and when they do they can tell that Sonic speed-cleaned his house, and Tom makes a remark about how there’s no door, while Maddie aaws over the fact he still has the neckerchief they sent him last winter. Tails flies in and excitedly drags them to his workshop to show them what he’s working on, and they go to a restaurant that Tom says is absolutely not up to code, and then they run out early to “kick some ro-butt.” When they come back, Amy is excited to see “Mr. and Ms. Wachowski” and shows them some new moves with her hammer. Knuckles forgot who they were again, but they’re used to that as Maddie carefully explains to him how to put together the puzzle they brought, and he excitedly hugs her once he’s got it. The badger hides out in the corner, hissing about government spies and how cops are evil, which Tom doesn’t take personally whatsoever thankfully. “You know I’m a sheriff,” he says, “It’s an elected position. If I sucked at the job I’d be voted out.” The badger than says something about mind-controlling robots, and he laughs and tells her that “that was how they adopted Sonic, actually,” and she is suddenly interested, and Sonic groans and slaps his forehead as Tom tells the “embarrassing” stories of him and Tails when they were younger, as Maddie and Amy smash things in the backyard “for fun.”

There’s a universe where Sonic runs, he always runs, he runs from everything. His friends have been with him through Chaos and the ARK and Neo Metal Sonic, through Black Arms invasions and extreme gear races and time gods and werehogs and timeline mishaps and zeti and world wars. He will slip sometimes into adventures in the Arabian Nights, in Arthurian Legends, in another dimension with a stoic pyrokinetic cat and overly excitable raccoon. He raised Tails, that much his friends know. They know nothing else about his past. He doesn’t talk about it much. And he’s so happy all the time, they don’t think to ask.

Shadow mentions, once, at a party, that Sonic is sad. It took them a while to see it. But he, above anyone else, would recognize a front. Recognize how someone hides pain. At one point, Rouge asks Tails if he and Sonic have parents, phrasing it in a joking way. Tails gets awkward and changes the subject. Vector and Espio haven’t been able to get anything out of them, either. “Don’t ask,” Shadow sternly tells them when he finds out what they’re doing. “They’ll talk when they’re ready. If they’re ready.”

But it’s one night, as they stack food in the Restoration storage, that Amy quietly asks him directly. If he has any family, other than Tails. If he ever did.

Sonic doesn’t answer.

GaHh! Welcome back Duck! I hope exams went well for you, and that you get to enjoy a good and relaxing break!

-And yeah, when I hyperfixate on stuff, I learn everything about it XD. Sonic just happened to be one of the many hyperfixations of my childhood. Thanks to lmk, I hyperfixated on Sun Wukong and now there’s little to no content relating to him that I don’t know. It’s bad 😅.

Anyways, I really hope my rambles aren’t too annoying! You’re just really fun and nice to talk to <3

Lastly, as always, a question: What’s your favorite holiday?

-🍑 anon

RAHHHH ITS FINALLY MY CHRISTMAS BREAK!!!!!!

Hopefully I get to be more active on here!! Again, sorry for the late reply </33

Yoo that was so me, too... But like, the other way around lmao. I was super into Monkey King/JTTW stuff and watched a bunch of movies about it. Monkey King Reborn, Hero is Back, etc etc. I watched those shit RELIGIOUSLY. I think I even managed to download the actual book online and read that, too.

And then that blue rat happened /affectionate

HASHSHASH yeah- I think I'm just always getting into fandoms with a stinky ass mascot. We got the stinky monkey and now a stinky hedgehog. Theyre both blorbo material and also need a shower for real.

Your rambles are never annoying! Its so nice to see someone pop in here frequently, other than some irl moots and 🐢 anon (btw 🐢 anon, if ur reading this, i hope youre doing good!!)

My favorite holiday,,, Hrmm I think this one has got to go to Christmas. Not for anything special, only because where I live, my country begins to celebrate christmas in SEPTEMBER. It's this whole thing where September hits, and people are already getting ready for christmas. We call it the 'ber months' and I think its the funniest thing ever.

Question time!! Whats a piece of fandom knowledge/trivia do you know? It could be anything!!

I hope youre doing good, 🍑 anon!! Incredibly advance Merry Christmas :]]

Hi is it ok if you do Yin and Jin x Sibling! Reader

Where reader feels like thier in thier brothers shadows and their way of coping with it causing serous damage to the mortals. They would hurt them...... at least not physically but definitely mentally. Until Yin and Jin catch wind of this by listening in to the mortals and being good big brothers to talk, discipline and get to the bottom on why thier sibling is acting this which the brother then find why and that reader doesn't wanna feel overshadowed by them and just want attention good or bad..

Platonic (obviously) a bit of angst and fluff.

Hello! I'm gonna clear up some left over requests in my inbox, hope this didn't take too long! Good ol' gold and silver demons. I love those little dweebs (affectionate).

Rusted Metal | Jin and Yin x platonic!sibling! reader

image

You loved your brothers.

If anyone were to ask you that you would immediately say 'yes'. Why wouldn't you? They're the most clever trickster demons there are in the city. They're the gold and silver demons, the greatest enemies of the Monkie Kid! Of course you look up to them.

They were the best siblings you could ever ask for. They shine like glimmering statues, standing tall in the massive city that is Megapolis. A bit goofy, yes, but that was part of their charm.

They did everything they could to take care of you when you were little. They declared that they would be the best older brothers to you, and they kept by that promise for years. You would give the world to them for all they’ve done for you.

So yeah. You loved your bros.

But sometimes, being their sibling feels... Underachieving.

They're silver and gold. The two most valuable metals in the world. What does that make you? Compared to your brother's statues that basically shine in the sunlight, you feel like you're merely a tiny speck of dirt behind them, overwhelmed by the shadow the statues cast onto you.

Gold and Silver. Silver and Gold. They're the dynamic duo.

And you're always left out.

Maybe you're not even a metal at all. Maybe you're just rust. That would explain the biting and acidic feeling you get whenever you see your brothers carry out one of their plans while you're left awkwardly standing to the side, forgotten.

It would make sense. Your entire life, you’ve been raised and cared for by Jin and Yin. And what do you do in return? Absolutely nothing. For all you know, you’ll end up corroding them, tarnishing their metal glow and replacing it with a rusted over sheen.

Those intrusive thoughts swirl in your brain, slowly seeping into every part of your body. You hated feeling like this. You hated feeling so useless.

You needed a way to release all these pent up emotions, before it tears you apart from the inside.

And what better way to do that than messing with some mortals?

Don't get this wrong, you would never hurt a mortal. Not physically, anyway.

But it was always fun to psyche them out. The gradual doubt in their faces as you spewed out nothing but lies makes you feel a gram of satisfaction, pointedly ignoring your own feelings about your brothers. A part of you acknowledges that this isn’t the healthiest way to deal with your problems, but you shove that thought aside. 

Heading back to your hideout, you catch whispers of gossip about you from the streets. A wave of pride washes over you before slowly being converted into shame. Why would you ever feel pride about this? 

But that thought was quickly stomped out as you headed back to your family’s hideout, carefully opening the doors and tip-toeing inside. Your brothers never knew about your little excursions in the night to mess with mortal’s heads, and you don’t plan on letting them know anytime soon. 

But it seems like luck wasn’t on your side today, as Jin pops out from another room and says “Oi, there you are Y/n! Where’ve you gone off to? We haven’t seen you all mornin’!”

You stiffen before casually straightening up and rubbing the back of your neck in a sheepish manner.

“Yeah, sorry about that Jin. I was trying to explore the city to get some junk for your schemes, but I guess I lost track of time.” 

Jin looks down at your empty hands and back at you. You feel a brief sense of dread and guilt as Jin gives you a scrutinizing look, before shrugging and calling for his twin.

“Alright! Ey, Yin! Y/n’s back!”

“Really?” Yin peeks his head from out of the room. He strolls out, hands on his hips and scolds you like a mother. “And where’ve you been, ey? Ya gave us a right scare when we saw you were gone!”

You playfully raise your hands in surrender as Jin explains to his twin where you went. Yin only huffs and shakes his head, talking about how you could’ve been kidnapped if you continued on doing this.

Your smile becomes a bit strained as they bicker amongst each other. If only they knew what you were really up to when you go out... They won’t be worried about you getting kidnapped, that’s for sure. But disappointment and disgust was a definite reaction if they were to ever hear about what you do to mortals in your free time.

“Urgh, you’re impossible!” Yin throws his hands in the air dramatically. Jin rolls his eyes, and you chuckle at their animatedness. 

“Anyway!” Jin gives you a big grin. “We’re workin’ on another scheme we’re plannin’ to pull next week! Wanna help us out?” 

Your eyes widen in surprise. “You... want me to help you guys?”

“O’ course!” Yin wraps a shoulder around his brother, copying his smile. “You’re our sibling, your infoot helps improve our little pranks!”

Jin frowns, “Uh... Mate, I think it’s ‘input’.”

“Input? What’s input-”

“No, the word you just said- It’s input, not infoot-”

“Input... Really? I thought-”

They argue once again in whispers. Their antics bring a smile to your face, joy bubbling in your gut when you processed what they asked of you.

“Yeah!” You say, interrupting their banter. “Yeah, I’d love to help you guys!”

They go back to their smiling faces, and gesture you to come inside the room. You jog inside, a big grin on your face, not noticing the twins both giving each other a serious glance behind your back and shutting the door behind them.

--------------

Okay, so this was getting awkward.

The entire time you’ve been ‘planning out a new scheme’, your brothers have been constantly sending you furtive glances when they thought you weren’t looking. It was getting a bit irritating, but you guess that they’re just doing it out of good will. You had no idea why they keep glancing at you, as if desperately wanting to say something but can’t, or are just too afraid to, but you trust them that they’ll tell you sooner or later.

A few minutes go by though... And you’re starting to get worried. The joy that once filled your body was now replaced with annoyance and nervousness that twisted your gut. Every time your brothers glance at you, you feel a pit forming in your stomach, only worsening when they look away and continue talking with clear hesitance. 

They obviously had something to say to you. That was why they brought you here in the first place. 

A part of you feels that burning, acidic feeling again when you realise they didn’t really wanted to let you help them out with a scheme. 

Why would they anyways? It’s not like you’d contribute anything useful.

You clench your fists, tired of thinking and feeling this way. The annoyance that was slowly building up the longer you’ve been in the room has reached its breaking point, its cracks slowly crawling up your body, threatening to snap. 

Another glance makes you slam your fists against the table, making your brothers jolt.

“Alright, what’s going on? You guys got something to say?”

Jin and Yin tense and send each other a worried look. Your eyebrow twitches, and a scowl etches itself onto your lips.

“Well? Spit it out.” 

Despite your angry face, anxiety clenches your gut. From the look of their faces, whatever they gotta say must be serious. That’s not usually a word you’d describe your brothers, but seeing them so stone faced and filled with worry makes your heart beat faster in fear. 

They aren’t gonna talk about... that. Right? They can’t possibly know.

Yin coughs in his fist, making you direct your anger to him

“Well... Ya see, Y/n we-” he rubs his neck. “When you went missin’, we tried lookin for you. Ya know, since we’re your big brothers and all and we gotta take care of ya! And when we went out we... Well, we heard some- some not so nice things about ya from the mortals.”

Your heart jumps in your throat, an icy chill seizing your body. 

Jin continues, “And we know it can’t be true, cuz you’re our siblin’! But... With how weird you’ve been acting lately...” 

Your knuckles turn white from how hard you’re gripping the table. Your nerves are on fire, your breaths shallow.

Your brothers, seeing your reaction, carefully leans over the table takes each of your hands in their own. They both give your hands a loving squeeze, a reassuring look in their eyes. 

“Hey, it’s alright. We ain’t mad.” Jin says.

Yin nods, “Yeah. We’re just worried, is all. We’re your bros, and we wanna know if what the mortals are sayin’ is true. We won’t get mad at ya if it is, okay?” 

Their voices lower down into a comforting tone you vividly remember from your childhood. They used it all the time whenever you were scared, or had nightmares and ended up racing to their bedrooms and hiding in their sheets. It was so much simpler back then, when the only things you had to fear were the darkness and being caught by authorities. 

But now, you had bigger fears. And every single one of them were coming true.

The only difference is, you can’t hide in your brothers room anymore. You can’t count on them for support or comfort.

Because they’re a part of your fears. 

How are you supposed to tell them if they’re the ones you’re scared of?

“I-...” Your throat tightens, and you can barely get the words out.

“Hey hey, it’s okay. We’re here, it’s alright.” 

They get up from their seats and pull you into a hug. They rub circles on your back, whispering words of comfort and promises.

You feel horrible. Your brothers are so good to you and yet... Yet you’re so ungrateful. You just wanted to be seen and known, just like them. But with all the things you’ve done to the mortals, you’re sure that they won’t forgive you.

“I...” Your voice wobbles, and your face twists as you try not to cry. Hopelessness weighs down on you, making your figure tremble in the arms of Jin and Yin.

“It’s alright, sibs.” They whisper. “It’s okay. Let it out, we’re here for ya. Just tell us what happened, we won’t judge ya at all...” 

That makes you break. A choked sob leaves your lips as your bury your face in your hands. Your brothers squeeze you in their embrace as they listen to you blurt out what you’ve been doing and why.

“I’m sorry,” You sniffle, tears rolling down your cheeks. “I just... didn’t wanna feel so useless compared to you guys. You- you took care of me my entire life and- and I do nothing in return. I thought that maybe... If I messed with some mortals, I could’ve gotten some attention that way. That was stupid, I don’t know why I did that. I just-”

You bite your lip, trying desperately not to sob again. Jin wipes away your tears, and Yin hands you some water and tissues that were kept on the table. Their faces transitioned from worry, to shock, to sadness as they listened to your entire confession. Both of them kept silent, letting you spill out your feelings in a fit of sadness, staying by your side the entire time.

When you finished blowing your nose and taking some sips of water, your brothers release you from their hug to give you some space. You brace yourself for the inevitable disappointment, because as much as they said they won’t get mad, what you’ve done was something that was deserving of some sort of punishment.

“Y/n...” Jin starts, and you feel your heart sinking. Jin sees your hunched figure and places a hand on your shoulder. “Hey, it’s alright! Like we said, we ain’t mad.”

“But aren’t you disappointed?” You whisper, loud enough that they could hear you. “I did all that, just because I didn’t have any attention. It’s stupid-”

“Hey, no it ain’t!” Yin cuts in. “Ya felt left out and abandoned, that’s perfectly find an’ valid. We don’t blame ya for trying to cope with how ya feel.” 

“It’s just that, well... it’s not the healthiest coping mechanism, innit?” 

You nod slowly. 

“And! As your bros, it’s our responsibility to take care o’ ya and take note of how ya feel! And, we didn’t-... really did a good job of that, did we?” 

Jin and Yin look at each other with regret in their eyes. Their voices quiet down to a whisper, as if they didn’t want anyone else but you to hear.

“We’re... We’re sorry for not noticing how ya felt. We know it ain’t our fault exactly, but- well... We shoulda seen how you were acting and asked you sooner. We’re your bros, it’s our job.”

Your eyes turn downcast, ashamed and not wanting to meet their eyes. “You don’t have to apologize. It’s my fault for not telling you guys anything and taking it out on the mortals.”

There’s a brief pause, where you all stay silent. Only the trees swaying in the wind and the chirping of birds fill the air, as you stay in place in your brothers arms. 

It was oddly comforting, in a way. It was like you were a child again. You’d give anything to go back to those times.

But... If you think about it, nothing really changed. You’re still young, you’re still scared, and despite your mistakes your brothers still love you wholeheartedly.

You’ve all grown and matured over the years, yes. But at the same time, nothing has changed. They’re still the lovable brothers you always knew, and you’re still their little sibling they love with all their being.

Yin breaks the silence.

“How about we all just say sorry? That’s easier to do, I think.”

Jin nods with a whisper, “Tha’s a good idea.”  

He then looks at you, still caged in their hug. “I’m sorry, Y/n.”

Yin gives you a light squeeze. “I’m sorry too.” 

You open your mouth, but the words stay clogged in your throat. You gulp, hoping to at least say something, before croaking out a soft:

“I’m sorry.” 

Yin gives you a soft smile, “See? Everything’s better now.” 

Jin agrees, before saying something hesitantly. “We promise we won’t make ya feel that way again, Y/n. Kay? And if we ever do, tell us.”

You nod, an immense weight being lifted off your shoulders. “I will.”

A sigh escapes your lips, tiredness replacing your anxiety. You slump and snuggle into their embrace. “You’re the best bros ever.”

You hear them both chuckle, “We know.” 

--------------------------------

Just saying this now, but if Macaque ever met Y/n they would’ve TOTALLY bonded. Mac would’ve taken one look at Y/n’s angsty aura and be like “damn they just like me fr!!” 

Also!! Sorry this took so long to get out!! I had some school things I had to submit last minute + the fact that this isn’t formatted like a brainrot/headcannon like usual! Still hope you like it tho :]]
