Not Tommy Anymore

Chapter 12 - Dream

Trigger Warnings - 

Tommy felt himself get knocked to the ground. Sliding in the snow for a moment, he looked up and met gazes with a masked man. Panic filled his system and he started shaking worse, already shivering from the cold.

Dream smiled, pulling out his sword. "What did I tell you Tommy?" He hissed, kneeling down to Tommy's level. "They don't care about you." He growled, grabbing Tommy's shirt and pulling him up to his feet.

"S-stop Dream!" Tommy was surprised he wasn't so panicked he couldn't talk back, but he just wanted Techno to save him. "L-let me go home!" Tears started falling down his face, vision blurry.

"No. This is your fault!" He dropped his sword for a second and punched Tommy straight in the face. He dropped the boy against a tree and grabbed his sword. "I told you to listen to me! You disobeyed me... your best friend." He feigned a hurt tone, pulling his sword up ready to swing.

"I-I'm sorry, Dream!" Tommy pleaded, pulling his legs up to his chest, hands held out to protect himself. Dream shook his head before swinging his sword down at Tommy's hands and face.

Tommy let out a pained shout, blood falling from his hands. The sword cut through the air again and Tommy snapped his eyes shut with pain. Dream swung for a third time before letting go of his sword and picking Tommy up by the shirt again. "I hope you learn who actually cares about you soon, Toms."

Tommy's mind spiraled out of control under Dream's pressurizing manipulation. Questions and thoughts racing through but panic buzzing them out, survival on his priority list for just that moment. He swung his hand out trying to get Dream away, but his eyes were still closed.

Dream tossed him into the snow, and wiped the blood that was smeared on his mask off. He scoffed and kicked his prey in the guts before grabbing his arm and beginning to drag him away. "How dare you." He muttered.

Tommy tried to pull away and kick at him but Dream's grip was too strong for him now. "P-please... L-let me g-go.." He cried, stuttering with fear and the cold, which was now biting at his bones.

Dream ignored his pleads like every other time and continued to drag him, the moon the only thing lighting his way as he dragged the boy through the snow. For a second the moons light disappeared and Dream looked over to see the cloud, only to find a pigmen flying down with a pickaxe in hand.

Dream's eyes widened and he jumped away from Tommy, the pickaxe landing right where he would have been if he had not jumped away in time. The Blood God himself stood up from the ground, in between Tommy and Dream now.

Dream, pulled out his sword, nothing needing to be said as they engaged into a battle, too close to Tommy for Techno's liking.

The homeless green man swung his sword at Techno, only for it to be block by the handel of a netherite pickaxe. Somehow Techno twisted the Pickaxe and hooked it to the hilt, ripping the sword out of Dream's hands with such a force that he fell to the ground, next to Tommy, who had barely moved since Dream let go of his hand.

Techno put a foot in between Dream and Tommy, his gaze digging into Dream's. "You messed with the wrong side character." Technoblade growled, raising his pickaxe to bring it down on Dream's skull.

Dream rolled out of the way just before the pickaxe was brought down. Scrambling to his feet he grabbed a pearl from his inventory and dashed towards Techno's house. Technoblade ran after him and when he was insight again the man was engulfed into purple particles that quickly dissolved. He shook it off and ran back to Tommy, to make sure Dream hadn't enderpearled back to Toms.

He slowed when he saw the nerd up against a tree, tears running down his face as he shivered in the cold air. "Hey, bubs." He walked over and kneeled down, taking off his cape and wrapping it around his brother. Taking a mental note of Tommy's eyes, which were still closed, though it was obvious a sword had hit them. 

He picked his brother up and began walking back to his house. Entering the cottage, he placed Tommy down on the couch and walked away to grab some supplies. Phil walked in and jaw dropped at the sight, Techno walked back in and started wrapping Tommy's wounds, while giving him a regeneration potion.

Phil cocked his eyebrow in a silent question to Techno, who looked at him and gestured him into the kitchen with him to talk. Once there, Technoblade waited for Philza to ask his question.

"I thought you were just picking Tommy up from Ranboo's, what happened mate?" Phil asked, in a kind of loud whisper.

"Well I was. But neither of them were there, and luckily it hadn't snowed yet so I followed their tracks, unfortunately I found Dream trying to take Tommy away." Technoblade explained.

"Well what about Ranboo?"

"Dunno." He answered, before turning to grab some potatoes and put them in the smoker for a bit later. Phil shook his head before leaving the kitchen and going to sit on the couch with Tommy.

Technoblade knew exactly what he was doing next, and that included killing a homeless man, but unfortunately for him, taking care of Tommy came first, only because of the voices- not because he cared about that orphan!

(I actually already have the last chapter written down... but I still have all the other chapter in between to write. I have a very basic plan but I know it includes angst, and a bit of fluff, so good luck. Oh and have a great day! Drink your water, get your sleep, and good bye!)
