5 Hugs from Tommy Miller

Wow, hi! It's been a while since I've written anything really. And I'll warn you now, this is awful. If you're looking for high quality Tommy Miller fic then this isn't the place to find it. It's really just a stupid little thing that popped into my head after meeting Gabriel Luna last week and being on the recieving end of 3 hugs from him. So I hope maybe someone will enjoy this and I'll hopefully have something else out that's a lot better sometime soon xo

The First Hug

The first time you’d ever been hugged by Tommy Miller was after you helped him find Sarah when she ran off while she was in his care. You knew exactly where his 8 year old niece would be. You were Joel and Sarah’s neighbour and you often looked after the girl when her father was working or on a date and her Uncle wasn’t available to help out. On this occasion, Joel had taken his girlfriend away for Valentine’s weekend, Tommy and Sarah had popped into see you a couple of times throughout their long weekend together so when the youngest member of the Miller clan had run off, Tommy had come to you in a complete panic. His brother was due home in a few hours and his niece was missing.

“Hey, it’s okay. Calm down. I have a feeling I know where she’ll be” you said.

Tommy followed you as you led him down the street and through an alley way right at the end of the road, it led to a park he didn’t even know existed. Sarah was there, climbing the stairs to the slide, just as you knew she would be.

“See! No need to worry. She’s right there, she’s safe and everything is fine”

Tommy sighed in relief, letting out the breath he didn’t know he was holding. He knew where Sarah was, she was safe and Joel wasn’t going to kill him.

“Thank you! Thank you so much!” he said. Before you knew what was happening, you’d been swept into his strong arms in the tightest hug you’d ever experienced. His arms were wrapped around your back tightly, he’d pulled you against his chest and didn’t seem to be letting go anytime soon. You chuckled and wrapped your arms round him, giving him a squeeze.

“It’s no big deal Tommy, really. She always wants to come and play here, I knew this was where she’d be”

“You’ve saved me from Joel’s wrath. I wouldn’t have known where to look. So yeah it’s not just a big deal, it’s a huge deal darlin”

When he released you from his hug, you felt a chill running through you. You told yourself it was just down to the fact summer was ending and the weather was getting cooler. Nothing to do with the fact you were no longer in Tommy’s arms. He insisted you joined them for dinner that night as a thank you. They were having take out and a movie night. Your head was screaming at you to say no, more time with Tommy would just make the crush you were developing get worse, but your heart was giving into the puppy dog eyes of the Uncle and Niece duo so you agreed. It ended up being one of the most fun evenings you’d had in a long time. When Joel returned home late that evening, he said nothing when he found the three of you snuggled up and fast asleep. You were asleep against Tommy’s shoulder, his arm wrapped tightly around your shoulders and Sarah was lying across your lap. Joel draped a couple of blankets over you all and left you sleeping.

Birthday Hug

From the day you helped Tommy find Sarah; he suddenly became a big part of your life. Ever since you’d helped him out of his predicament, he seemed to decide you were now his best friend. He’d bought you flowers as a thank you; he turned up at your door a few days later with a beautiful bouquet. You didn’t even realise it was him at first as the flower arrangement was so big you couldn’t see who was behind it. That was exactly how you found yourself on your birthday; you opened your door to what looked like a bouquet of flowers with legs.

“Happy Birthday Darlin!”

“These are beautiful, thank you Tommy!”

“Ah its nothin’, just something pretty for your birthday” he shrugged “Now Joel and Sarah were thinking pizza for dinner but it’s real nice out so I was thinking we could do a barbecue, grill up some burgers, hot dogs, things like that. But of course it’s up to you, it’s your birthday after all”

“Both sound like great options, you guys don’t need to go to all this trouble for me though!”

“Course we do, you’re our friend and it’s your birthday! I’ll tell Joel to order pizza and I’ll fire up the grill and we’ll have both”

“Tommy…”

“No more protests. I’ll see you at Joel’s at 4pm”

When you got to Joel’s you were showered in cards and gifts, Sarah had drawn you loads of pictures and they’d gotten you a large cake.

“This is way too much” you said, as you sat down on the deck with Joel and Sarah, watching as Tommy swayed to the music that was playing as he grilled up the food.

“Don’t be silly!” Sarah said “It’s your birthday, you deserve it”

“I’m so thankful to you all. The flowers this morning and now all of this”

“Flowers? I didn’t get no flowers” Joel shrugged

“Tommy brought them round”

“Did he now” Joel raised his eyebrows, a shit eating grin on his face “Well I can assure you that was nothing to do with Sarah and I. That was all my little bro”

“Oh, that was really nice of him”

“Super nice, maybe he loves you” Sarah giggled

The evening was spent in the company of friends you loved so much they were basically family, good food, plenty of laughs and of course birthday cake. When the night drew to a close, Tommy offered to walk you home.

“You don't have to, I live right next door. I think I'll make it” you chuckled

“I want to, can't have the birthday girl walking alone”

“Thank you kind sir” you smiled at him “And thank you for the flowers. I know they just came from you and not Joel and Sarah”

“I told ya darlin, it's nothin. Just a little gift for the birthday girl” he smiled as you reached your front door “Have you had a nice day?”

“It's been wonderful, thank you so much. I appreciate it all” you leant forward and wrapped your arms around Tommy, drawing him in for a hug. Tommy was taken by surprise for a moment but soon wrapped his arms around you. Your eyes closed in contentment as you allowed yourself to settle into the hug. Too soon it was over and you were waving goodbye to Tommy as he made his way back to Joel's house.

A goodbye ‘Just Friends’ hug

A few years later when your work told you that you were being sent to the New York office to work for 6 months you'd been excited. You were sad to leave your friends behind but you knew you'd be busy and time would fly by and you'd be reunited with them before you knew it. Tommy, Joel and Sarah had come to the airport to say goodbye to you on the morning you left. Joel wished you well and assured you he would keep an eye on your house whilst you were gone, Sarah gave you a framed photo of you, her, Tommy and Joel. It had been taken on Tommy's birthday when you'd all gone out for a meal. You hugged her tightly and told her how much you'd miss her and that you'd see her soon. Tommy was the last to step forward, you could see the sadness in his beautiful brown eyes. The two of you spent every spare moment hanging out together so not seeing one another for 6 months was going to be a huge adjustment. Neither of you said anything, you just reached for one another and wrapped your arms around each other. Your hands clung to Tommy's soft jacket, like you never wanted to let him go, you could hear his heart beating against his chest.

“I'm gonna miss you so much sweetheart” he whispered into your hair “What am I gonna do all these months without you”

“It''ll go by so fast, I'll be back before you know it and you'll soon be sick of me”

“I could never be sick of you”

“I'll see you soon, okay?” you said pulling back slightly, his hands still on your waist, yours on his chest “And we'll text and call all the time”

Your flight was called at that moment. Tommy pulled you in for another hug before letting you go.

"Just friends huh?" Joel asked, eyebrows raised "Never seen 'just friends' hugging like that!"

"Shut up Joel" Tommy fired back

You waved to the Millers as you disappeared out of sight. Little did you know it was the last time you'd ever see Sarah, and the last time you'd see Tommy and Joel for years.

Reunion Hug

Living in Jackson was as good as it got in a world that was infected by Cordyceps. You had your own home, you had a comfortable, safe community around you. You helped out around town, taught kids how to read, helped in the kitchen, helped sort out any supplies that arrived and took your turn on patrol. It was a safe and secure life but you always felt empty. It wasn't that you didn't love and appreciate your friends in Jackson, you did, Maria had become one of your closest friends and you were so grateful for the day you found her. But you missed everyone from before. Your family, your friends and especially the Millers. Patrols were mostly quiet, the infected had been cleaned out, apart from the odd one that stumbled upon the woods outside Jackson. You, Maria and 3 guys headed out for Patrol, you split up and they headed down towards the river whilst you and Maria checked the woods. When you came to meet up with them, you could see they had 4 more people with them. From a distance you could make out a woman, two men and a child, as you got closer you felt like your heart stopped.

“Tommy”

His head whipped up at the round of your voice, his eye's going wide as he saw you for the first time in over 10 years.

“Oh my god, it's really you” he said, watching as you jumped off your horse and ran towards him. You lunged forward, closing the gap between you, and wrapped your arms tightly around him. His embrace was warm and comforting, like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winters night.

“I thought I would never see you again Tommy”

“Me too sweetheart, I've been hoping to find you of course but I was starting to lose faith”

You pulled back slightly so you could get a good look at him, your hands came up to cup his cheeks, your thumb ran over his freckles. He was still the same Tommy, a little bit older with longer hair and facial hair, but he was still the Tommy you'd crushed on for basically your entire friendship. You surprised even yourself when you closed the gap between you and placed a gentle kiss on his lips. You were about to pull away and apologise when he tightened his grip on you and crashed his lips to yours.

“God I've wanted to do that since we met” he said when he pulled back.

“Me too” you chuckled

“I love you sweetheart, always have. Sure I've dated and had short relationships but it's you and it's always been you”

“I love you too”

He kissed you again before pulling you back into his embrace. Maria smiled as she watched the scene on front of her. She'd spent many girls evenings with you listening as you told her all about Tommy Miller and how much you crushed on him. She was glad to see you reunited and finally giving into how you really felt about him. She spoke to Tommy's travelling companions on the way back into town and organised somewhere for them to stay. She knew she didn't need to bother about Tommy as you wouldn't be letting him go ever again.

Wedding Hug

It was easy to adjust to being in a relationship with Tommy, you'd basically acted like a couple whilst you were just friends anyway. When Tommy filled you in on everything that had happened since you'd last seen him, from losing Sarah, going his separate ways from Joel, the Fireflies, going it alone, you'd both decided not to waste any time together. You'd been reuinited a few months when Tommy asked if you'd marry him. You asked the kind old man who worked in the place of worship in Jackson if he would perform a wedding ceremony for you. When he agreed, Maria helped you both sort rings and she managed to find you a dress to wear and a suit for Tommy. Neither outfit was anything special but neither of you cared. You said your vows to one another underneath the beautiful apple tree in the town with only the old man and Maria there to witness it. You didn't want any fuss so after your vows the pair of you headed back to your home as husband and wife. Tommy pulled you into his arms as soon as you were through the door, hugging you tightly to his chest. #

“Thank you for agreeing to marry me love, it's the best fuckin' thing that's ever happened to me”

“Thank you for asking me. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me”

“So how about I take my wife upstairs to our bed”

“I think that sound's like a wonderful idea husband. Our first night as husband and wife. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you”

As you lay in Tommy's arms later that night you couldn't help but think back to all the moments you'd had together. From the very first time he hugged you after finding Sarah, to leaving him behind when you went to New York, right to earlier that day when you'd said I do. Things hadn't always been smooth sailing for the pair of you but you knew that Tommy Miller was the love of your life and you couldn't wait to see what life would throw at you next. All you knew for certain was that you'd be happy just to spend the rest of your life in your husbands embrace.

the bride of the dark; old ass story based off a dream

i wrote this in 2021 so it may not be the best...

im sorry for whatever experience you have reading this but i have weird ass dreams

I was running as fast as I could, my plans to go to my hideout had switched up and now I was running from two of the most dangerous monsters in the multiverse, Horror and Dust. Without thinking I dropped my bags and squeezed between a wall and a fence, the two skeletons split up and trapped me at both possible exits. My heart pounded faster and faster as I tried to figure out a way to escape. Dust squeezed into the fence behind me and I started to move away until I remembered Horror being there. I was trapped with no way out.

Tears pricked at my eyes as Dust got closer, I blindly kicked at him to get him away. He just grabbed my ankle and yanked me. I lost balance and tried to struggle out of his grip but he just dragged me out of the small area with an evil grin on his face that pierced my hopes. As soon as we were out of the fence area I struggled harder, trying to get out of his strong grip. He just pulled out a small needle silently and said, "If you don't struggle we can get this done quicker." All I did was glare at him and try to pull away more. He sighed and used blue magic to hold me in place as he started sewing on a weird material into my right eye. I tried to struggle violently but it brought massive pain and I ended up just crying during it. When he was done I couldn't see out of my eye anymore. Out of nowhere his stare softened when I was still crying and told me to sleep. I quickly fell asleep from the tire of crying and when I woke up I was bundled in blankets in an unfamiliar room.

The set up was comfortable so I didn't move and just explored my surroundings with my eye. "Like the decorations?" A sudden voice asked, I looked in the direction of the voice and froze up, it was Nightmare. "Oh don't be afraid my moonlight. We're soulmates I wouldn't hurt you." He stepped closer and I stayed still but had a weary feeling. "How did you know we're soulmates?" I asked tentatively. "Your necklace of course." He answered. I remembered my necklace suddenly, and when I checked it, it was glowing.

My face was lit red from the glow and thats when I noticed another red glow. Looking up I saw Nightmare holding a similar necklace but horizontally switched. "Cool, right?" He asked, and I swiftly nodded. Too engrossed in the bright glow of the necklaces. Without realizing it I was suddenly in the air, held by Nightmare's tentacles. "Will you be my Queen?" He asked bluntly. "I- Uh- I'm- I'm not sure yet." My face flushed pink almost immediately as I stuttered out my answer. "Hm, alright." He nodded, "You're still sleeping in my room though." He added. My eyes widened for a second and my face flushed even more. I opened my mouth to speak but suddenly we exited the room into the hallway.

Taking in my surroundings I noticed the castle has a purple and black theme and gothic furniture. You noticed four doors spread out and assumed they were rooms. We were heading towards one of the doors, which had a fancier tone to it. "What's with the dark theme?" I asked. "It just fits." He shrugged, opening the door and stepping in. I once again took in my surroundings, noting things that would be important later. I'll be sleeping here from now on after all. I noticed the massive bed, "Why do you have such a massive bed?" I asked, confused. "Well, I guess I've been waiting for you." He responded. "Oh! Well uh, that's nice." I said meekly, flustering again.
