Broken Mask| Fundy & Dream

fourteen

  Let's just say that the trip to brighton was a lot more interactive than Dream thought. Fundy was slowly beginning to trust him again, and it warmed his heart that he did.

It really truly did.

Fundy was released of his restraints, but, he didn't have his phone. Which was fine, he could handle himself. He knew they weren't too far from catching Dream.

He had hope.

  Wilbur sat in the backseat of the car, his heart racing as the long roadtrip began.

  It was around 11:46pm, and he was the only one awake besides Eret, who was driving.

Niki shuffled in her seat, unable to sleep. Wilbur noticed and tapped on Niki's shoulder.

"You okay?"

The female looked up at her friend. "Honestly, no.. I keep thinking about how I nearly died."

Wilbur sighed and pulled Niki close to him. Her head on his chest.

  "You're not going to die, not as long as I'm around." Wilbur sighed, "If anything, if they want to kill you, they're going to have to kill me, first."

"But.. if you die.. then what would I do?" Niki asked, "I lost you once already, and if I lose you one more time, I'm gonna lose myself."

"No you won't." Wilbur shook his head. "You're going to keep fighting for me. No matter what."

"Wil-"

"- Ah ah, no. I don't want you saying anything different. If I go, I don't ever want to see you commit suicide or anything stupid to hurt yourself. I need you to stay there for Fundy, and be the better parent I never was."

Niki didn't say anything more. She just nuzzled into Wilbur's chest. Wilbur grabbed his trenchcoat and put it over Niki's shoulders.

"Goodnight, Niki." Wilbur kissed the top of her head.

  "Rise and shine, love!"

Fundy groaned at the intruding sunlight. He pulled the pillow over his head, the banging headache of the chlorophyll really getting to him, now.

"I'm not moving, head hurts."

"Don't you want to see the sights of Brighton?"

The fox couldn't even respond as he was practically dragged and forced to get dressed. Soon, the intruding sunlight hit him right in the face.

"Jesus christ-" the fox winced. "Dream, it fucking hurts! Stop!"

It was like the blonde couldn't hear him, because he was in the car immediately. Fundy groaned and held his head, tearing up at the pain.

Where was the others?

----

"Guys, we're here." Eret spoke up.

Niki opened her eyes and looked up at Wilbur, who was peacefully asleep.

"Wil!" She whispered, shaking the ghost gently.

Tubbo sighed, looking out the window. "It's so weird to be up this south." He commented.

"You should see my hometown, it's never this pretty." Puffy chuckled.

Eret pulled into a small driveway. "Okay, here's basecamp." He got out of the car.

The others got out of the car and their eyes widened.

A beautiful mansion faced at them. The walls painted in bisexual colours. Roses and lilies lined the roadway. A beautiful white gate sealing off the property.

"Holy shit, Eret.." Tubbo was in disbelief.

"You never know when the king has to leave." Eret chuckled. "C'mon, we gotta get in contact with the others."

---

  Fundy's headache thankfully got better (also known as, he forced Dream to get some ibuprofen).

The fox looked around in his hometown, well, his second one. (Copenhagen will always be his home).

  Dream held the fox's hand in his, both of them just looking around. Acting like a normal couple.

Oh, how far from the truth that was.

  "Ranboo, can you hear me?" Eret asked.

"Yeah, perfect." Ranboo nodded. "Sorry it took so long to contact, parents were really happy to see me."

"It's no problem. Where are you guys?" Eret asked.

"Ohio, I know, shocking." Ranboo chuckled. "But other than that, how was the trip?"

"Long, very long." Tubbo commented.

"Did you find out where Dream was exactly going?" Puffy asked.

"We think that his escape route is either Montana or Connecticut, possibly Louisiana." Bad informed. "Looks like Montana is the main one."

"It's lest noticable. Not many celebrities go there." Niki added.

"The perfect hideout.." Eret murmured. "Right, you guys head to Montana. Keep us updated."

"Will do." Ranboo nods, "Be careful, Eret."

"You too, Ranboo."
