Chapter Text
Phil's POV:
It's been three days since Wilbur joined us in the house. We've talked to Wilbur's social worker and have made the agreement that he won't have to go to school this week. As long as the school agreed that is, which they did, with some persuasion.
We don't have anything planned for today, so I'll ask the boys what they want to do at breakfast. Speaking of, "Hey, boys! Breakfast is done!" Techno came in rather quickly having been in the front room. He sat down on a stool at the kitchen island. "Thanks, Phil." I smiled, "No problem, Tech." I heard a bang from upstairs before seeing Wilbur run down into the kitchen, "Hi, sorry." Will sat down while Techno and I looked at each other with raised eyebrows. "Mate? What did that bang come from?" "Oh, uh. Just my head. I kind of hit it on the shelf." Seconds before I ran over to look at Will's head Techno grapped Will's jaw and had him move his head around so he could inspect the bruse, all the while Will looked surprised then a little happy. "You're fine, don't do anything else stupid like that. Got it?" Will smiled a bit, "Yeah. Thanks, Techno." Tech crossed his arms. "Yeah, Yeah. Whatever." I smiled at the two, their so sweet to each other. "So you two, what do you guys what to do today?" Will looked to Techno to see if he had an opinion, which he didn't. "Can we maybe go to the park?" "That sounds like a great idea, Wilbur. You guys get ready after breakfast and we'll go." Will smiled, "Okay!" Techno nodded. "Alright, Phil."

Techno's POV:
Will came downstairs after he'd finished getting ready, all we were doing was waiting on Phil now. I signed to Wilbur, 'Are you excited for the park?' Wilbur smiled, 'Yeah, I love to color!" I shook my head at Will and re-signed 'Park' to him. "I don't know what you're signing." I quietly sighed, this is why I have to teach him. I finger spelt this time. "P. A. R. K. Oh, park! Yeah, I'm excited for the park." I nodded with a satisfied smile. "There you go, much better. Good job." Wilbur smiled wide as Phil came into the front room. "Ello, Mates. You two ready to go?" "Yeah." "Yes!" "Good, let's go."
Phil led the two of us to the car and we all got in. I buckled my seat belt around my boster seat and watched to make sure Will could get the buckle right on his new car seat. Phil told me Will didn't have a personal car seat before, he just used the community ones that the adoption agency had. But Phil bought him one since he'll be staying with us for a bit.
Phil looked in his rear view mirror to see the both of us, "Everyone buckled?" "Yeah, Phil. We're both ready." Phil nodded and started driving.
We played at the park for hours. Mostly I sat and read while Phil supervised Wilbur on the playground until he got a call and Wilbur wanted me to push him on the swings. Phil got us ice-cream after and then we went home.

Wilbur's POV:
I still haven't fallen asleep. Phil sent me to bed hours ago, around nine. It's two now. I wonder if Techno would mind if I went to his room. Amelia always let me, and Techno is really nice. I think I'll go see him.
I crawled out of bed and slowly and quietly snuck down the hall to Techno's room quietly knocking on the door. "Techno?" I whispered, "Are you up?" I heard a quiet groan, "I am now. Come in Will." I opened Techno's door and went inside shutting it behind me. "What's wrong? Why are you still up?" I shuffled my feet. "What if Phil doesn't want to adopt me?" Techno sighed and patted a spot on his bed for me to sit down and I obliged. Techno wrapped his arms around me in a hug. "Why are you worried about Phil not adopting you?" I squeezed my arms around Techno. "Because I really like it here. I want to stay with you both. My social worker will be here tomorrow. What if Phil says he doesn't want to keep me after all" I started to cry and sniffle before Techno ran his fingers through my hair for comfort. "Don't worry about it. I'm sure Phil is going to adopt you." "How can you be so sure?" "Because, Phil loves being a dad. He'd give anything to take another kid into the house." I smiled, "Really?" "Yes, really. Now, you need to get some sleep." "I guess.." I went to get up but Techno pulled me back down. "I-I thought-" "Don't be stupid Will, of course you can stay. But you need to get some sleep before tomorrow." I smiled, "Okay, thanks Tech." "No problem Will." I curled up in bed with Techno and he pulled the covers over me. "Night Techno." "Night Will."

Phil's POV:
I woke up and stretched looking at the time, 7:00 AM. Will's social worker is coming at 12:30. That means I have time to cook breakfast, wake the boys up, and clean the house before she gets here.
I first went to Wilbur's room to wake him up and get him ready for the day. I knocked on the door, hearing no answer I opened it to find no sight of him. Before worrying I composed myself and went to ask Techno if he'd seen Will. I knocked on Techno's door and heard him snoring. Quietly I opened the door and peeked my head in to find Techno almost soundlessly snoring the morning away and Wilbur curled up beside Techno sleeping peacefully with his arms wrapped around him. I smiled at the boys. I'm so glad they're getting along, maybe Techno will want to keep him here after all. I shut the door trying not to wake the boys up deciding that I'd let them sleep and instead went downstairs to start breakfast.

Techno's POV:
I woke up begrudgingly because of the stupid sun. It's too bright in the morning. Without paying much attention I ran my fingers through Wilbur's knoted curly brown hair. "Will, it's time to wake up." Will mumbled a bit and curled in on himself pressing his face against the pillow. I smiled at him before slowly getting up and shutting the blinds so he could sleep.
I got dressed and went downstairs to see Phil simultaneously cooking and cleaning. "Morning, Phil." Phil turned around to see me and he smiled putting down the clorox wipes. "Morning, Mate! How'd you sleep?" "Fine, but I need to talk to you." Phil looked curious and leaned down on the kitchen island. "Okay, what's up?" I took a deep breath knowing Phil would joke on my later for this. "You have to adopt Will." Phil gave me a smug look I knew all too well, "I thought you didn't like Wilbur." "Yeah, well, he's grown on me." Phil laughed a little, "Well, that's good." "Shut it. Are you going to adopt him or not?" "Of course I am. I just wanted to make sure you liked him first." I nodded, I tried not to show Phil how happy about it I was but I bet he already knew.
×+12:23+×
Wilbur and I have been anxiously waiting for his social worker to get here. I know that Phil wants to adopt Will but there is always a chance that Phil will be seen as unfit to adopt Will. I've found out that being special usually makes things a lot harder.
Soon we heard a knock on the door and Phil let in a girl by the name of Mrs. Linda. While Phil took her to the kitchen I focused my attention back on Wilbur. He's been playing his guitar for hours now. I imagine he'd usually sound beautiful but with all of his anxiety he's missing the strings and his hands are shaking as he strums. I put my hand on Will's knee to try to comfort him. "How about I read to you for a bit? She won't need to talk to us for a good while Will." Will took a shaky breath and nodded. He put down his guitar and curled up with me on the couch tossing a blanket over the two of us while I started to read him 'The Princess Bride'
After a while Wilbur spoke up "This is a boring book." I gasped, how could he not love it!? "No, It's not! It's beautiful!" Will shook his head. "It would be better if it wasn't a romance." ( I do not agree with this I love the princess bride ) I fake fainted and I heard Wilbur giggle making it all better to me.
Wilbur's social worker came into the room asking if she could speak with us. Wilbur looked at me then nodded to the woman. She came into the room and sat in front of us. "Would you be okay talking to me alone?" I was about to get up so Will could talk to her but he held my hand and pulled me back down. "No, Techno can stay." I was surprised by that but the woman smiled at the two of us. "Okay. Will, how are you liking it here, hun?" "I like it a lot." "Do you want to stay here, or do you want me to take you back?" "I want to stay here." The lady smiled before she stood up. "Okay, hun. Just give us a few more minutes then and we'll be all done. Will nodded as Laura went back to talk to Phil who I know hid around the corner to hear Will's answers. I smiled at Will. "I'm glad you like it here." Will looked up at me with a wide grin. "How could I not?"
Wilbur's POV:
After another 20 minutes of talking Phil showed Miss Laura out who gave me a smile before she left. Techno and I stared bullets into the back of Phil's head until he turned around and smiled. "Who wants to get adopted?" I smiled wide and jumped up into Phil's arms who gave me a big hug. after a minute or two Phil sat me back down on the couch. "All we have to do is wait on the papers then you'll officially be adopted!" "Thank you so much!" Phil ruffled my hair. "Of course, Will. You didn't think I'd go back on my word, did you?" I shook my head. "How about I order Chinese to celebrate?" Techno and I shouted a collective, "Yes!" So while Phil ordered Chinese Techno set up Mario cart for us to play together.
For the rest of the night we all hung out together as a little family, until Phil told us we'd been up too long and that it was time to go to bed. Phil took Techno and I upstairs and tucked me in before ruffling my hair, cutting our my light, and leaving, shuting the door behind him. I curled up in my cozy bed of my kind house, glad to finally have a home.
