cw: none! just some fluff
word count: 1,431It was nearly 4 AM, and Dream was still sulking in the bathroom. He had been in there for what felt like hours, but you couldn't blame him; with all of the MCC drama plus the pressing situation from the speedrun mods, today was absolutely not his day.
You knocked on the bathroom door to let Dream know you were coming inside and found him sitting in the bathtub with his phone in hand. Dream was typing away so furiously that he didn't acknowledge your presence.
You stared at him through the doorway. He was tired, and you could see his sheer disappointment in himself in his eyes. Your heart ached for him-- he was such a loving, caring, and hardworking guy but he always got caught up in something that would just eat away at his soul. You wished you could just give him all of your love and let him know that everything was going to be okay, but Dream was always stressing out and rarely believed you (presumably from hearing it so much from all of his fans and friends).
Suddenly, an idea slipped into your mind. You took advantage of Dream's concentration on his phone to strip off your clothes, and before you knew it you had joined him inside the bathtub.
Dream was shocked to see you, hugging his knees in front of you to make room. "Y/N, what the hell are you--"
"Hi bubs," you cooed sweetly as you sat down in the lukewarm water. You loved that nickname for him; it was so soft and vulnerable and sometimes brought out that side of Dream. "Are you almost done with your phone?"
"Gimme a second," Dream answered, typing away at a large chunk of text on Pastebin. You let him finish whatever he was working on before he tossed his phone onto the mat beneath the tub.
"All done?" you asked.
"Yep," he responded. "Now, can I ask why you're here? Not that I mind, but, well, this isn't exactly an everyday type of thing."
"I just missed you," you replied. "You streamed all day and now you're sulking in the bathtub so figured I might as well join you."
Dream groans, annoyed once he was reminded of everything that happened today, and leans his head back against the tile surrounding the tub with his eyes tightly shut. You pouted, knowing he was extremely distressed.
"C'mere baby," you said, reaching your arms out. Usually, you'd be laying in the protection of his arms, but you felt the need to switch it up.
Dream reluctantly obliged-- he wasn't usually a fan of being so submissive, but tonight of all nights he needed the most comfort. He leaned forward and rested his head in your chest as the rest of his body layed in between your legs.
"Lemme clean you up bubs," you offered. "To be fair, nothing feels as good as when someone else washes your hair for you."
Dream let out a small "okay" as he pressed tighter into your bare chest, holding you tightly. You loved when he was all cuddly and gooey like this, it finally gave you a chance to pamper him.
You grabbed some shampoo that was sitting on the ledge of the tub and squeezed it into the palm of your hand. You lathered your hands together and ran your hands through Dream's hair, massaging his scalp and gently combing through his dirty-blonde locks. Dream closed his eyes, enjoying your touch.
You pressed a kiss onto his cheek, then his temple, neck, and shoulder. "You know-- I love you-- so much-- right baby?" you ask in between kisses. Dream lets out a relaxed hum in response.
Then, you grabbed a nearby body wash while you let the shampoo sit in his hair. You lathered it onto his neck and shoulders, then massaging circles down his back. You pressed soft kisses on the back of his neck, and Dream threw his head back in pleasure. Under the bathwater, you rubbed his legs and thighs, then his arms and hands.
You turned Dream's face towards you to kiss him on the lips deeply. He returned the kiss, playfully biting your lip before letting go. You smiled as Dream rested his forehead on yours.
"The water's gone cold," you said, looking into Dream's tired eyes. "Let's dry up and get to bed, yeah?"
Dream agreed. You rinsed his body and his hair, then drained the bathtub. You grabbed a towel from nearby and wrapped Dream in it around his waist, kissing him occasionally in the process. Afterwards, you grabbed another towel and covered yourself, leading Dream to his bedroom by tugging his hand as he trailed behind you.
Dream sat on the bed, turning the air conditioning down on his phone so you wouldn't be cold in your towel. "Can I pick your pajamas bubs?" you asked. "Pleeeeease? I wanna make you feel pretty and do your skincare and shit, it's really relaxing."
"Fine," Dream reluctantly agreed as he layed down on top of the bed. "Only because you want to. You know where everything is."
You rummaged through his closet, holding the towel tightly around your body in case Sapnap happened to walk in for whatever reason. You looked through all of his things, and figured you might as well wear something of his to bed. You grabbed one of Dream's hoodies for yourself, which was large enough that it reached your thighs, and grabbed some maroon sweatpants and a fitted black t-shirt for Dream. You were pleased with what you picked out and quickly slipped on his hoodie and some loose shorts that you had left here a few weeks ago-- not that it made a difference, since the hoodie covered them anyway.
You returned back to Dream's bedroom and threw the clothes at his face. "Get changed," you ordered playfully. "I'm gonna go grab the stuff."
Dream opened his mouth to object, but you had already left for the bathroom in which you had headbands, some moisturizers, face masks, blackhead strips, chapstick, and your jade roller. You returned with them-- among other things you saw on the bathroom counter-- and threw them on the bed, next to where Dream was scrolling on his phone in the clothes you had gotten for him.
You sat next to him and brushed your hand on his cheek, then traced his lips with your thumb. "Your lips are so chapped, bubs," you remarked.
"Yeah, I don't know where my chapstick went," Dream admitted.
Instantly, you grabbed the old chapstick you had just found and puckered up to lather your lips with the cherry-flavored jelly. You grabbed Dream's face again and kissed him sweetly, crashing your lips on top of his.
"There," you joked. "Now you have some chapstick."
"You know, if I knew this was how I'm supposed to use chapstick, I'd never forget," Dream joked. You slapped his shoulder playfully and giggled at his silly comment.
"Shut up," you teased. "I'm putting a headband on you 'cause your hair is too long, and I'm putting random crap on your face so don't move too much."
Dream eyed all of the products that were on his bed. "You use all of this every night?"
"And in the morning," you beamed. "Gotta keep my pretty face pretty and healthy, yeah?"
Dream smiled. "I guess. Now hurry up and make me pretty, it's almost five in the morning."
You laughed, and brought his head into your lap. You put a hairband on Dream that pushed his hair back and massaged his face with creams and lotions using your fingers. Dream loved the cool, smooth surface of the jade roller, which you pressed against his chiseled and freckled face with some serums. You decided to use a blackhead strip on him (needless to say, he didn't like when you ripped it off) and peppered his face with kisses after you were done. You continued your routine on him, hearing the soft hums of his breathing in sync with the rising and falling of his chest. You finished with a light face mask that dissolved into Dream's soft skin.
"All done, bubs," you whispered when you had finally finished. Unknown to you, Dream had fallen asleep in your lap ten minutes ago. You were careful to move him off of your lap onto his pillow, and pulled the covers over him. You turned off the light, and cuddled into his chest, causing Dream to stir in his sleep slightly.
Even while asleep, Dream pulled you closer to him and you nuzzled in his neck. Though it neared five thirty in the morning, the two of you drifted into a sound, peaceful sleep and would wake up around noon in Dream's loving arms.
