TW: burns

"Why are you- what are you doing?" Clay asks, watching the Dreamon move string around.

"Playing with Lia of course."

"You're- what?" Clay asks, sniffling slightly.

"You make me annoyed." The Dreamon says simply before burning Clay.

Lia's POV:

"What's the syndicate?" I ask again.

"How do you know about that?" Techno asks, voice monotone again.

"I don't know. What is it?" I reply honestly.

"Listen- Lia I'm not about to reveal all of my side hobbies just because you're sad." Techno says.

"Can I join?" I ask, ignoring him.

"You- what?" He asks skeptically.

"Can. I. Join?" I repeat slowly.

"I mean- I could get back to you?" Ranboo bursts through the door and Techno moves in front of my face to cover my mouth.

"Out." Techno says with a glare.

"I've seen it- Lia are you okay?" Ranboo pushes past my brother and kneels by my side.

"He'll bring him back right? Tommy isnt actually dead, right?" I mumble to him.

"I- I don't think that's how- I don't know." Ranboo stutters.

"If you die too I'm going to cry." I say to him. He inches closer to me with a raised eyebrow.

"Well I would hope so?" He questions. A small smile makes its way to my face, something he returns. He looks down at me before his eyes trail to my cheeks and lips.

"You look like a mess." He says quietly.

"Thanks. At least a hot mess?" I ask.

"Oh yeah, hot, that's for sure." Techno coughs after Ranboo finishes making us both look back to him.

"What?" I ask.

"I don't know what that just was but no more. Out Ranboo." The teen sighs before leaving with a salute.

"Lia, I do love you. And I'll always be here for you. Which is why you need to tell me about this stuff." Techno says, getting serious again.

I nod, "Don't tell Phil please." He nods sadly. After a moment of silence my head perks up.

"Do you think Tommy will become a ghost?" I ask, voice curious.

"Pfft, I sure hope not. I could barely deal with him alive, how will I deal with him if I can't hit him?" He asks in a joking manner.

"What if he is super nice? Nice Tommy?" I ask with a small chuckle.

"Like that would happen. Alright, I do love you, but out. Ranboo is probably bothering Phil about me kicking him out which I'll get in trouble for because he's the favorite. Out~~" techno stands me up and pushes me out to the door.

"Fuck you." I mumble, hugging him quickly. He returns the favor before pushing me through the door with a smirk.

Falling back into someone, Techno slams the door in my face. I glance back only to sigh at Ranboo.

"Hullo." I greet, pulling my mask back up.

"No more sad, ok? How about we go on a small mining trip and you tell me happy stories." Ranboo says, walking me down the stairs.

"Yes sir."

"That was hot."

"Oh shut up man."

"Call me sir again."

"I will stick my sword in your gut and laugh."

"Valid point."

Flashback:

"Hi child." Tommy greets Fundy, who ignores him.

"Hi Wil!" I say happily. He chuckles and wipes his eyes, tucking the letter into a book before holding his arms out for an unexpected hug.

"Shh, you guys be quiet." Techno whispers, peaking through a hole in the wood door.

"George why did you just- what the fuck?!" Clay's voice echoes from outside.

"You said to knock on the window!" The colorblind defends himself.

"I said knock! Not fall through!" He yells. Techno sighs and rolls his eyes.

"Of course it's them." He opens the door and i peak my head out to see George half way through the window and Clay on the other side holding a cake, looking like he wants to throw it at his friend. Nick is laughing at the scene next to Clay.

"What're you guys doing at our house?" Techno asks with a sigh.

"Cake!" Clay says, ignoring George who is trying to pull his foot out of a broken floor board.

Flashback End:

————————————————————

"Any fun stories?" Ranboo asks as we enter his cave.

"I dunno. I've told you most of them. Most of the ones I remember at least." I shrug, wiping my eyes again.

He hums with a sigh, "Now I know how you guys feel." I chuckle and shake my head.

"There was this one time, actually." I begin, "Tommy and I were playing around with Wilbur's old instruments and we made a stupid song. The chorus was off and dumb, honestly made little to no sense, but it was our song. We used it whenever we were trying to tell the other something in code. We actually used it when I was telling him I wasn't on Dream's side." I explain.

"That's nice." He hums. I nod along, watching him tuck a spare pickaxe into his backpack.

"Actually- I do need a lot of materials. I'm probably going to be here for the night. Are you sure you want to come along?" Ranboo backtracks, lighting a torch.

"Uh- I guess not. Bye Boo." I wave. Ranboo frowns, wiping my eyes again before pulling me into a hug.

"What's with the flame?" He whispers into my hair.

"Huh?" I pull back and sigh at purple flame wandering my fingers, zapping them a couple times.

"Dream." I mumble, looking back into Ranboo's eyes. He stares back with a lopsided smile.

"This actually really hurts so how about you go?" He asks, looking away. I laugh and nod, waving again as I leave the cave.

————————————————————

"Niki- I really have to go. I'm sorry I'll come by tomorrow, I just need to be alone, please?" I say to Niki. She sighs before taking her hands off of my masked cheeks.

"Alright love. Please be safe." I nod and walk into the forest, just wanting to get away from everyone. No one cares about Tommy's death and the people who do are either busying themselves with something else or are going insane. I, myself, has decided to take a walk in the woods. At night. In the rain.

Peaceful.

Ruff!

Wait.

Turning around, I squint into the bushes.

Oh shit did they just move.

Taking my sword out, I carefully creep near the moving bushes cautiously.
