9: Disappointed

The Dream House Part Nine

TW: Mentions of self-harm.

______________________________________

Dream's POV

We applied the medicine and bandaged Tommy's cut. After that, we led him to the couch downstairs. I called Philza and asked him what I should do because Tommy wouldn't stop crying over the pain. Literally.

"Okay, you know that cabinet above the microwave?" Phil asked, over the phone.

"Yes... I'm standing before it."

"There's a bunch of meds in there, one's labeled as 'pain med'."

"WHAT THE- HOW DO WE HAVE SO MANY?"

"There's like 7 packets... We used to have more but to be honest I think Schlatt's been taking it."

"Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised."

"Anyway, give him one pill of the pain med and he'll probably be asleep for two hours. Give him two if the pain is really bad and no more than that or it'll fuck with his brain."

"Aight. Thanks, Phil."

"No problem, mate."

I gave two pills to Tommy with his water bottle, forcing him to swallow them.

Then I remembered that Phil didn't mention when the effects were gonna work.

So I switched on the television and gave Tommy the remote, getting his mind off the pain.

Eventually, the pain med was working and he sounded like a more annoying version of Schlatt. Speak of the devil,

I was about to put Tommy in his room when Tubbo, Ranboo, Wilbur, Techno, and Schlatt came through the front door.

"Hey, Dream!!" Wilbur and Schlatt said almost in unison.

I was surprised they came back together, so I questioned their whereabouts.

"We planned to have a party at the beach next week and went to reserve it for one day. But their booked for the whole of this month already." Ranboo explained.

"Hey... Is that Tommy?" Tubbo asked, eyeing Tommy on the sofa.

"Yeah... He's on some meds right now, if he says something weird that's why and uhm... he cut himself." I uttered nervously.

"What?" Ranboo interrogated, puzzled.

"AY, SCHLATT! Ma frienddddd!" Tommy shouted out of the blue, making me flinch.

"AY, TOMMY! Lucky I'm still not sober." Schlatt sighed.

Tubbo looked like he knew something. He wasn't shocked as I thought he would be.

"Is the bladeeeee" Tommy mumbled.

"Tommy, you're such a disappointment. Even Tubbo's better than you- Ah, whatever, you're both orphans anyway." Techno stated.

"TECHNO!" I shouted at him.

I knew he hated orphans but Tommy and Tubbo are our family. I didn't know he would do this, I just tried to ignore him.

Wilbur was very concerned for Tommy, he went straight to him and wanted to make sure he was okay.

"Tommy?" Wilbur called worriedly.

"Wilbur! We are like brothers, you know?" Tommy said happily.

With a chuckle, Wilbur replied;

"Don't say that, I will cry."

Once I turned, I found that Ranboo and Tubbo had disappeared.

"Where did Tubbo go?" Wilbur asked quietly.

"He's disappointed in me! Everybody is." Tommy announced.

"Not everybody... but why is he?" Wilbur claimed.

"It's about something that happened in the orphanage. I'm sure he'll tell you about it. I suck anyway-" Tommy muttered.

"No... Don't say that, Tommy. You're amazing." I chimed in, noticing his eyes slowly closing.

Wilbur pet his hair and sang him tune until he fell asleep.

I don't know what happened at the orphanage but I hope they tell me before I find out myself.
