Abandonment

Chapter 12

P.O.V Tommy's

Me and George could tell Dream's stress was getting worse. He started not to take care of himself and it would take a fight to get him to eat something. The only time we saw him is when he would come out to go to the bathroom or get a drink.

George has started to worry about him too. Dream has a very bad working habit and it is starting to take place.

"Dream, get out here. You need a break, you have been locked up in your room for about two days now!" George said, knocking on the door. As much as I hate to admit it, Dream reminds me a bit of Techno. Once he starts working on something and needs to get it done or if something is wrong he just goes and works then won't stop.

"Dream if you don't open this door I'm going to come in." George said. "Hey George?" I asked. "What's up Tommy?" he asked, moving away from the door for a second. "Does Dream frequently do this?" I asked.

"Sometimes but I think the stress is really getting to him this time and well I just want to help him. But, he is too stubborn." George groaned slightly.

"You aren't gonna start fighting like-" George cut me off mid sentence. "What!? No, of course not Tommy. Even if me and Dream do fight we would never blame you for it. Dream put us before himself. He cares more about our well-being before his own and well he forgets to take care of himself sometimes." he explained.

"That's why you would catch us up late after you were done streaming with Tubbo. I would make sure he is taking care of himself after a rough day or when he is sick." George added.

I nodded slowly leaning against the back of the couch. "How are we gonna get him out of his room?" I asked.

"I don't know, but I'll try to see what I can do. Didn't you have plans to hangout with Tubbo in town today?" he asked. "Oh yeah! I did!" I said immediately, shooting up. "But, what about Dream?" I asked.

"I'll take care of Dream. You go have some fun Tommy." George said. I slowly nod before going to get ready and texting Tubbo.

P.O.V George's

I slowly sigh as I stand up and head back to Dream door and walk in the room quietly shutting the door. "George? What's wrong?" Dream asked. "Don't go there." I said crossing my arms. "What?" Dream asked.

I motion to him. "You. You need to rest Dream. You need to go take a shower and get something to eat. You have worked almost non-stop for two days straight. You need to relax a bit." I said. "But-" "No buts Dream. Me and Tommy are worried about you. Your fans will understand if you are a few days late. Now go take a shower. I'll make you something to eat and we can watch a movie." I said.

He sighs then nods, getting up and going to take a shower. I saw Patches asleep on his pillow purring quietly. I gently smile before gently scratching her head before leaving that room to make some sandwiches.

About five minutes go by and I see Dream walk out into the living room with slightly damp hair. "Feeling better?" I asked. "Yeah, I feel a bit better." he admitted. I nod "Good, now come eat and we can watch a movie while Tommy is out with Tubbo." I said.

He nods coming over and grabbing his plate before walking over to the couch. I shortly follow him and sit next to him. "So, what do you want to watch?" he asked. "It's up to you." I said handing him the remote.

He scrolled through the options and finally landed on one that looked interesting. He played it and set the remote down on the table as we started it.

Patches soon came and joined us on the couch laying behind my head. "You know I was afraid she wouldn't like you or Tommy. But, she really loves you guys." Dream said gently scratching her head.

I smile slightly turning my head from Patches. I picked up the two empty plates before Dream grabbed my wrist and pulled me back down to the couch setting the plates on the table. "Don't leave yet." he whispered. I nod a little before moving slightly to get comfortable. I felt him wrap his arms around me pulling me into a tight and secure hug.

I ran my fingers through his hair gently playing with it as he dozed off.

P.O.V Tommy's

A few hours later I came back home with Tubbo to find the TV running but George and Dream asleep on the couch curled up in a blanket together. I grab the two plates of the table and walk over to the kitchen.

"They look pretty comfortable." Tubbo said walking into the kitchen with me. "Not gonna lie, they do look pretty comfortable." I agreed. I turned on the sink and washed the dishes while Tubbo helped me dry them then we put them away.

"What do you think happened while we were gone?" Tubbo asked. "They probably ate lunch but fell asleep like that. Dream looked exhausted anyways so I'm happy that Gogy got him to sleep a little bit." I said.

Tubbo nodded before sitting at the island. "So, what do you want to do while we wait for them to get up?" he asked. "Do you wanna make brownies?" I asked looking around in the cabinets. "Sure!" he said happily before hopping up from his seat. "Do you have everything?" Tubbo asked. "Yeah we have everything." I said.

"Why don't we do a cooking stream?" he asked. "I don't know Tubbs. I don't want anyone to know I am living with Dream and George yet." I answered. "They won't have to know. Both Dream and George look like they will be out for another hour or two so that'll give us enough time." he explained.

I thought about it for a second then nodded "Okay, fine. Let me go get my camera." I said walking back to my room, grabbing the camera and the stand. I walk back out, bring my laptop to set up my camera and have the chat going.

A few minutes later me and Tubbo tweeted that I was live.

About an hour into the stream I heard the notifications go off for a donation. "Hi Tommy, Hi Tubbo! I hope you guys are having a great day. But, why have you been hanging out with the Dream Team more than Sleepy Bois Inc?"

Tubbo immediately turned to me worried. I felt my hand shake a little bit out of nerves. "T-They have been super busy lately and Big Man Dream has been letting me hangout with him." I said. To save ourselves from the awkward the oven went off and Tubbo pulled out the brownies. "They smell good." I commented.

Tubbo nodded in agreement as I cut them. He pulled out two plates handing me one and I placed one on his plate and one on mine.

Shortly after that we ended the stream and I sighed in relief. "What smells good?" George asked, walking into the kitchen with a small yawn. "Brownies, do you want one?" I asked. "Sure!" he said.

I nod and grab a plate for him, handing it to him. "How did the stream go?" he asked, grabbing a brownie. "It went pretty well up until someone asked about Wilbur and the others." Tubbo said. "Are you okay Tommy?" George asked looking over at me. I nod "Yeah, I'll be okay." I said.

"Is Dream waking up any time soon?" Tubbo asked. "I should probably wake him up or he won't sleep tonight." he said before walking over to Dream.

"Hey Dream, wake up." George said, shaking him awake. "What?" Dream asked with his voice slightly deeper. "You gotta get up or you won't sleep tonight. Beside Tommy and Tubbo made brownies come try one." George said.

I saw Dream sit up and fix his bed head before walking over. "Sleep good?" I asked. "Yeah, how was the town?" he asked in return grabbing a plate. "We had fun!" Tubbo said happily.

Dream nods with a small smile and we sat at the island and chatted a bit before George took Tubbo home.
