Let the Pain Wash Away

Part 10

Dream sighed. This was getting harder and harder to watch. His family was in pain and he couldn't make them feel better. Of course this all had to happen while the Dreamon visited him in his dreams and he didn't know how much longer he could keep that in. The feeling of hate for himself grew every moment he talked to him but he needed to stay strong and not give into the temptations.

The worst of it is that the blood vines are growing and no one can stop it. Sam almost died when he tried to break one of the vines. He will not let anyone else do that from now on. Dream felt his death climbing closer; he knew it was soon. He knew it would be by the Dreamon so he needed to gather as much information as he could get off the egg. If he was going down, the Dreamon was going down with him.

Other than that everything was peaceful and Dream was healing quickly so that was good news. But the grief of his mother's death kept him in the house with Tubbo. The only light in their lives right now is Tubbo's son that Tommy brought over. Micheal was a sweetheart and ran around the house looking for a way to make Tubbo smile. It honestly was adorable to Dream. Micheal was intimidated by Dream though so Micheal didn't stay with Dream in the same room for long unless Tubbo was there with him. " Hey Dream?" The call was from Tubbo in his room with Micheal. " Yeah?" The house had his yell echo a bit since there was so much space. " Can you watch Micheal for a bit? I need to head to Tommy's and ask if he can head back to Snowchester and grab Micheal's toys and chicken." Dream sighed and yelled back a yes.
-------------------

    "So Micheal, what do you want to do?" The piglin child just stared at him instead of answering.  " Do you like cake?" After Dream asked that question Micheal jumped up and down. He LOVED cake. " I'm guessing that is a yes." The green man chuckled and headed for the kitchen. They have some leftover cake from a few nights ago because Tubbo had a craving for cake.

--------------------

     Hours went by, Micheal and Dream had so much fun while Tubbo was away. Dream brought Micheal to a store where he bought him some fluffy sweaters and candy. Dream decided he was going to spoil this child and destroy anyone who hurts him.

    They walked down some streets eventually stopping at a bench. Dream told Micheal the history behind the bench and how he, Tubbo, and Tommy used to fight each other a lot and still do sometimes. Micheal seemed happy to hear all about it and the history behind his dad. " And now we need to head home. The sky is getting dark and we don't want to worry your father too much." Micheal jumped up and down at his dad's name. While walking back to the house they saw a certain someone walking down the street. Dream instantly tensed up but didn't move and called out to the poor teenager boy. " Ranboo?" The said male turned towards Dream with a blank stare. His eyes were purple. " Ranboo what are you doing out here at this time?" Instead of answering, the 6'6 male grabbed his axe and swung at the duo. Dream ducked while bringing Micheal closer to his body. " Ranboo what the hell!" Again no answer, just a swing. With that Dream started running away. He only had an iron pickaxe on him; he didn't need this. Ranboo kept coming at them and eventually threw Dream off of balance. Dropping Micheal Dream grabbed at his chest. He had a light slash there. He'll be ok. Getting up from where he laid, he started looking for Micheal. When he turned towards Ranboo that's where he saw it. An axe raised above Micheal's head as Micheal tried to get his papa's attention. " Papa? Can you pick me up? Papa?" Ranboo swung his axe. " Papa! I missed you! Please look at me." The axe an inch away from Micheal suddenly disappeared. Dream ran towards them as Ranboo fell to the ground and gave Micheal a giant hug. " Oh my god Micheal you scared me!" Dream said as he knelt down next to the two. " Ranboo, are you feeling alright other than scared I'm guessing." Ranboo was shaking. If he could cry he'd probably do that too. " Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just thank you." Dream wrapped the two in a hug. " I can bring you over to our place for now ok? Ranboo nodded and shakily got up. Ranboo picked up Micheal because he was still begging to be picked up. " Let's head out."

    The trio headed into the house, the lights already on meaning, Tubbo was home. God how are they going to explain to Tubbo what was going on.
-------------------------

    Well Tubbo wasn't happy and actually hit Ranboo and Dream on the arm multiple times. They were given a lecture and some rules but other than that Tubbo checked Dream's wound and made sure they were comfortable before heading off to bed with Micheal.
