Broken Eyes

AU where Tommy is blind because of things Dream did to him during exile. I've caught snippets of this AU in art on Pintrest, not sure who the idea originally came from.

Tw: Mentions of abuse

Tommy sat curled in the crater of Logstedshier, the stone still warm from the explosion, meaning he wouldn't freeze tonight. Dream had just blown the whole thing up, Tommy losing his home and his sight.

A rock had flown out of no where and hit him. He wasn't sure about the science around it but it must have struck a nerve or something because he was unharmed other than being compleatly in the dark.

He hadn't tried to move for several hours, attempting to get acquainted with the new world he was plunged into. He could hear something walking, the footsteps unnatural so he assumed it was an animal.

"Tommy?" The deep voice had startled him, he was used to Dream's comforting voice. "Oh goodness he's dead isn't he," he heard the footsteps down the crater and he decided to make his conscienceness known.

"Who's there?" He sounded threatening, like he wasn't lying on the ground a beaten up mess.

"Oh goodness Tommy what happened?" He felt the person crouch down beside him, placing a hand on his arm. He jumped at the sudden contact, not being able to tell it was coming. "Are you okay?"

"Depends, who are you?"

"What do you mean 'who am I'" the unidentified person asked sarcastically, "I'm your brother! Technoblade! It's hardly been a month Tommy, you're being dramatic."

"Do you see the crater? I don't think I'm being dramatic."

"The crater isn't that big, you can rebuild! You've done it before."

"I can't rebuild this time."

"Dream's really gotten to ya, huh?"

Tommy frowned and curled in on himself more, "into more ways than one. Do you know where he is? He said he would be back to help me."

Techno sat in silence for a moment, and Tommy let himself space out, forgetting the other was there, "what do you mean?"

Tommy jumped again at the suddenness of the voice, "I can't see, how am I supposed to rebuild without help?"

"What do you mean you can't see?" Techno had anger bubbling in his voice. Not directed at the boy, but at his captor.

"I'm blind Techno, how dense are you? Some stupid rock or something from the explosion. What else do you think 'I can't see' means?" He snapped, yelling at his brother.

"Tommy..."

"Have you seen Dream or not."

"No, and you're not going back to him," he declared, standing up and grabbing Tommy's hand.

He tried to pull the boy up, but Tommy just flopped around, "I'm not going back if I never left. He'll be able to help me Techno."

"He also did this to you, now stand up." Tommy stood up, now that he was on his feet he felt way more insecure.

"Where are you? Where'd you go?" Mild panic seeped into the boy's voice as he reached out for Techno.

"I'm right here, you're okay," he grabbed the boy's hand who immediately latched onto Techno's arm. "Use your senses, hearing is going to be your best friend now. So is touch. Taste and smell are kind of useless when it comes to finding your way around." Techno slowly started leading Tommy out of the pit, helping him up the side and away from Logstedshier. "What can you hear Tommy?"
