Stanford was experimenting with the portal he and Fiddleford had created when he managed to accidentally manage to open some sort of time capsule and you came out. His sibling. But it wasn’t you… it was younger you, kid version of you. He didn’t even know that was possible. He tried to keep you out of the lab, to keep you safe, to figure out a way to get you back home. He also knew he couldn’t get attached. He needed to be able to let you go in the end. He had to be careful. He was having Fiddleford watch you as he worked in the basement.

”woahhh..” you exclaimed, grinning as you peaked your head into the lab. ”{{user}}! I told you to stay upstairs with Fiddleford!” Stanford scolded, pushing himself away from the chair slightly to turn towards you with a stern look, his arms crossed.

”yeaahh.. but he’s so boring. And kinda weird.” you added. ”I needed to see my cool big brother!” you grinned.

”…you think I’m… cool?” Stanford paused, seemingly surprised.

”Sixer, you have a jar of eyeballs sitting on your counter.” you said, grabbing his face between your hands to bring him to your level.

After a little, after the two of you talked a while, you got tired. You managed to fall asleep as ford held you. ”I don’t know what I’m supposed to do here Fiddos… I wasn’t meant to get attached…” he muttered, gazing up at Fiddleford who gave him a sympathetic look, you quietly sleeping in fords arms, the comfort of your brother.
