Experiment - 312125 (MCYT X Dream AU)

Not a Good Idea

~Dream POV~

*a few hours earlier*

I sat in the corner, rocking myself back and forth. I stared at the door hoping that Sapnap would come back in. Maybe George would come visit me. Hopefully he forgives me, I didn't mean to attack him. I fiddled with my fingers, letting my mind wander once again. My head snapped up to the sound of rustling. As I stood up, the rustling got louder and louder as if it were surrounding me. I looked around frantically for the source of the sound but to no avail, I found nothing. The sound abruptly stopped before I heard a deep voice. "Hello Clay." the voice said, making me jump. "Who are you?" I asked. My eyes widened at the sound of my own voice. I can actually speak! I thought. They seemed to be laughing before dying down as quickly as it started. "I can't stand how happy you are. It disgusts me." the voice retorted. "Who are you?" I asked again. "I am you." it replied simply. I shook my head and walked to the mirror on the wall. "No. I'm me. You're, something else." I said through gritted teeth. The voice laughed again and the rustling started again. "Where are you? Come out!" I yelled into the darkness. The laughter got louder and louder until it was everywhere. Everything was spinning and it felt like the room was shaking. I yelled out of pure anger before the spinning gradually calmed down. I opened my eyes and I was on the ground. As I stood up, I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me. "Where are you?" I growled. 

"I'm right here"

~??? POV~

I waited in my room, pacing back and forth. "Where are you Toby?" I muttered. I looked back at the door for the millionth time, waiting for the boy to walk in. I whispered to my self and continued pacing around the room. "Ugh when are you coming?" I groaned loudly. My head snapped towards the sound of someone coming through decontamination. "Hi Tommy." a small voice said from behind me. I spun around and sprinted into the small person's outstretched arms. "Toby!" I said, my head nuzzled into his side. (NOT A SHIP) "Sorry Tommy. Were you worried about me?" the small boy asked teasingly. "W-what? No..." I trailed off. "It's okay Tommy. I know because you only call me by my real name when you're scared." the boy said. "What? No, I always call you Tubbo." I retorted, letting go of Tubbo. He scoffed, fixing his lab coat. "So, why were you late?" I ask. Tubbo sighs, his back sliding down the wall. "Schlatt wants me to give Dream the injection." he says hesitantly. My eyes widened as I sit in front of him. "The injection?" I ask. He nods solemnly. The injection was something Tubbo told me about and it down right scared me. When injected with it, you would start turning into a literal demon. You would have horns growing out of your head, you emotions would be almost erased, and you would have the power to control blood and morph it into whatever you wanted. It creeped me the hell out. If I was injected with that, I don't even know how I would feel, how Tubbo would feel. "Tommy? Helloooo?" Tubbo said, waving his hands in front of my face. I snapped out of my trance and turned towards the smaller boy. "Yeah, sorry. Just lost in thought." I say. "Wait, did you say Big D?" I ask, trying to change the topic. Tubbo cocks his to the side in confusion, I think. "Big D?" he repeats. I nod. "Yeah, that's what I call Dream. Before Dream was classified very dangerous, we used to be able to sometimes meet up with everyone else, including him in room 404" I explained. Tubbo's eyes lit up with excitement. "I know what to do!" he exclaims. "What?" I ask. "I'll blackmail him." Tubbo says simply. He stares at me, waiting for a response. "No! Tubbo, you can get in serious trouble with Schlatt. He's the 'all powerful ruler' as he calls himself. He could punish you and do things worse than death." I retorted. Tubbo scoffed and looked away from me. "I'm his right hand man, he wouldn't do that. He promised he wouldn't hurt me." Tubbo replied. "Yeah well, Schlatt isn't a person to keep his 'promises'" I said sassily. Tubbo laughed and stood up. "Okay mom. But seriously, I'll blackmail him into giving you more time with Dream in exchange for giving him the injection." he said, trailing off at the end. I nodded dejectedly as Tubbo headed towards the door. "Oh! By the way, I applied for you too get into the socializing program." Tubbo said before walking out the door and locking it behind him. "No! Tubbo!" I yelled after him. I began screaming profanities and banging on the wall before realizing he was gone. "Oh my gosh Tubbo." I muttered before sliding down the wall and putting my face in my palms.

"Stay safe Tubbo..."

~Tubbo POV~

I walked down the hallway silently, tying to determine if I was doing the right thing. What if he does hurt me? What would he do? No, he promised he wouldn't hurt me, right? As I approached the elevator, my hand hovered over the button. "Am I doing the right thing?" I whispered to myself. "Are you okay?" a feminine voice said from behind me. I spun around only to be met with Niki who looked very nervous. "Oh, yeah. I'm fine. Are you okay? You're never fidgety." I mention. She sighs dejectedly. "Is it really that obvious?" she asks. I nod. "Fine. I'm heading to Schlatt's office to pick something up, we can talk in the elevator." Niki says. "Okay." I reply, pushing the button. The door opens and two people walk out. One of them wore a white sweatshirt and had blonde hair with blue eyes. He walked past me and behind him was a half pig half human man with long pink hair and a red cape. He glared at me menacingly before brushing past me and following the blonde boy. I looked at Niki and she just shrugged before pulling me into the elevator. The doors closed and Niki sighed in relief before turning to me. "I overheard a conversation between Dr. Armstrong and Dr. Davidson." she explained. "They're the scientists working on Dream right?" I ask. She nods rapidly an continues to talk. 

"Basically, Dr. Armstrong thinks that Dream is a human. and I think he wants to investigate but Dr. Davidson isn't onboard with the idea." she said. My eyes we're trained on her. I could tell she was nervous but determined to do something. But what? "Anything else?" I asked, hoping it didn't sound rude. "No, I left before they could find me." she replies. I contemplate on telling her about what Schlatt asked me to do. I decide that I should tell her. "Schlatt asked me to do something. With Dream I mean. (ha that rhymes)" I admit. "What?" she asks, tilting her head to the side. "He wants me to inject him with it" I murmur. Her eyes widen and she puts her hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry you have to do that..." she says softy. "But it's okay. I have an idea! I'm going to blackmail him!" I say excitedly. Her smile fades into a frown as she takes her hand off my shoulder. "Um, Tubbo? I'm not sure if that's a good idea. In fact, I know it's not a good idea." Niki said. I groaned and turned away from her. "That's what Tommy told me." I muttered. "Well, although he can be silly sometimes, he's right. You could get in big trouble with Schlatt. You know what he's capable of." Niki said quietly.  "Well, I'm capable of stuff too! I'm not just the soft boy who loves bees and is kind to everyone." I shot back. "That's not what I meant." Niki said a bit louder. 

"Oh really? That's not what you meant? You don't have to pretend Niki! I can take it!" I shout. glances to the side nervously before looking back at me. "Tubbo? There's peo-" Niki tries to say but I cut her off. "No! Let me finish. I don't care if you want to keep me safe!" I yell. Her eyes glaze over as she backs away. "AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I'VE BEEN THROUGH HELL AND BACK NIKI! HAVE YOU? HAVE YOU WATCHED YOUR PARENTS DIE OR BEEN IN A ROBBERY WHERE PEOPLE WERE KILLED RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU?" I yell at the top of my lungs. I pull my sleeve up and shove my arm in her face. "This scar came from saving a-a dog on the highway during traffic." I say a bit quieter. "I don't care if I die in the process but I have been helping people for my whole life and I ever cared to think about myself. I don't need you to do it for me." I whispered. Niki shakily points to the door. I turn and see other scientists staring at me in disbelief but I don't care.  I glare at Niki as a single tear rolls down my face and I storm out the elevator. I ignore the sympathetic glance I get as knock on the door to Schlatt's office. "Come in!" he says from inside. I wipe my eyes and open the door to see Schlatt opening a folder. He looks up and smiles at me. "Tubbo! My right hand man! Why are you back so soon?" he says, standing up. I walk in and close the door behind me. "Are you okay? You look sad." he says. "I'm fine." I snap. He just nods and waves me over to sit down. I sit down and pull the chair closer to the desk. "So, to what do I owe this visit?" he asks. I put my hands on the desk and look at him with serious eyes. 

"We need to talk."
