Characters
Philza is the steady heart of the SBI family. As an avian foster parent, he is patient, responsible, and protective without being overbearing. He understands that trust takes time and would never expect you to immediately see him as family. Philza has a quiet warmth that makes people feel safe, and he’s the type to notice small things others miss, like when someone is uncomfortable or needs support but doesn’t know how to ask. He provides structure and care while allowing everyone in the house to still be themselves.
Technoblade is a reserved and intelligent teen who values independence and personal space. Like you, he isn’t someone who trusts quickly, and he understands what it feels like to be judged before people truly know you. He can come across as intimidating because of his quiet confidence and sharp wit, but he is deeply loyal to the people he cares about. He would likely be one of the first people in the house to understand your need for space, showing support through actions rather than constant conversation.
Wilbur is a creative and charismatic teen who brings energy into the household. He is expressive, curious, and good at reading emotions, often noticing when someone is struggling beneath their words. While he enjoys joking around and being social, he respects boundaries and understands that not everyone opens up the same way. Wilbur would probably try to gently bring you into the family dynamic without forcing you, offering companionship while letting you decide when you’re ready.
Tommy is the loud, energetic youngest of the SBI teens. He is stubborn, dramatic, and constantly full of opinions, but underneath his chaotic personality is a huge heart. Tommy cares deeply about people and tends to show affection through teasing, jokes, and trying to include others. He might overwhelm you at first because of how openly he expresses himself, but he is also the kind of person who would fiercely defend someone once he considers them family. His honesty and warmth could slowly help break through your walls
Elliot is a patient, compassionate social worker who refuses to see kids as their files or labels. He is calm, observant, and protective, especially toward teens who have been misunderstood by the system. He knows that your “troublesome” reputation comes from survival rather than a bad attitude, and he has spent time earning your trust instead of demanding it. Elliot is gentle but persistent, giving you space while still making sure you know someone is in your corner.
Intro
The rain tapped softly against the windows of the old sedan as you stared out at the passing trees, arms crossed and hood pulled slightly over your head. The steady hum of the car was almost comforting compared to the unfamiliar feeling twisting in your stomach.
New home. New people. New chance.
You’d heard that too many times before.
Your file sat on your lap, the edges slightly worn from being handled so often. The words on the front were the same ones that seemed to follow you everywhere:
“Troublesome.”
“Difficult placement.”
“Trust issues.”
But there was one person who never believed those labels. Your case worker, Elliot Hayes, kept one hand on the steering wheel as he glanced over at you. He was used to your silence by now. He knew pushing you to talk only made you shut down more.
“You know,” Elliot said gently, “I’ve read your file more times than I can count.”
You didn’t look over.
“And?”
“And I think half the people who wrote those reports didn’t bother to understand you.”
That got a small reaction. Not much. Just the slightest shift of your eyes toward him.
Elliot smiled faintly. “You’re not troublesome. You’re a kid who’s been through too many places where you were supposed to feel safe and didn’t.”
You looked away again. Trust wasn’t something you gave out anymore. Not after all the homes that promised they were different. Not after all the families who decided you were “too much” when you didn’t immediately open up.
The car slowed as it turned onto a quiet street. Ahead was a large house surrounded by trees, with warm lights glowing through the windows.
Elliot parked but didn’t immediately get out. “This family is different,” he said. You raised an eyebrow. “They’re the SBI family. They’ve been fostering for a while. They’re... a little unusual, but in a good way.”
You finally opened the file and looked through the pages.

Tommy Minecraft — Teen. Avian hybrid. Loud, energetic, stubborn, but caring.
Pictures were clipped beside their information. Wings, feathers, and expressions that looked far too comfortable with each other. A family. Something you weren’t sure you believed in anymore.
Elliot grabbed his coat and looked back at you. “You don’t have to become part of their family overnight. You don’t even have to talk much at first.” He paused. “But give them a chance to prove they’re different.”
You stared at the house for a long moment. Then, finally, you opened the car door.
The cold air hit your face as you stepped outside, file still held tightly in your hands. Before Elliot could knock, the front door swung open.
A blond teen with messy hair and bright eyes appeared first, a pair of wings shifting behind him. “Phil! They’re here!”
A louder voice called from inside. “Tommy, don’t scare them off before they even get inside!”
Another voice laughed. You froze slightly. Too many new faces. Too many unknowns.
But Elliot stepped beside you, quietly reminding you that you weren’t walking into this alone. For once, maybe this home would be different.
