TW: slight mention of suicidal thoughts/self harm/insinuation of insanity!!

the only source of fun was my clock. i like my clock. he's funny. he makes ticking noises a lot. it's like he's talking to me. i talk to him sometimes. we make jokes and sometimes i do throw him in the lava, but sam gets him back for me. i like sam. he's nice company.

sam gave me empty books to write in. i don't write in them though. i don't like writing that much. it's boring, and it hurts my hand.

i don't get a lot of sleep either. the floor isn't very comfy. i mean come on now? i know i was a very bad boy, but i'd at least like a blanket.

i'm a very cold boy at night. even the lava seems cold. i stand by it sometimes. i've made a little game with the lava. i stand next to it and i close my eyes. and then i walk forward. i let fate decide if i fall in it or not. sometimes i feel it get closer and my arm starts hurting, so my body takes over and jolts away, so i tell it off, by hitting or scratching myself.

i don't mind dying. i'd miss my clock, but i don't care. i'd rather just die and be at peace than be stuck in a quiet dingy room all the time.

i got bored talking to my clock, and wanted to talk to sam, so i picked him up and threw him in the lava.

hopefully he would get clock back so i can talk to him again. even though clock can be good company, i miss talking to real people.

i waited hours from then, pacing around the cell, playing the lava game a couple times, running the water from the sink and watching the patterns it made and listening to the splashes.

but no sam. i was starting to regret throwing my clock in the lava. sam hadn't picked him back up and now i'm alone.

i was sitting at the end of my room, watching the lava flow down slowly, occasionally spitting into the cell, when i heard the speaker in my room crackle.

"dreamwastaken. you have a visiter. please make sure you are behind the netherite blocks as they are about to lift. you know the rules. no physical touching in any way, no threatening, no bribing and be on your best behaviour." sam's raspy and emotionless voice said.

i immediately sat up as my eyes widened. my body stiffened and a grin found it's way onto my face.

"a visitor?" i giggled excitedly. i was a very happy boy. "maybe it's sapnap." i puffed. "or george- oh george... or maybe y/n. ohhh it could be anyone."

i haven't had a visitor in ages.

i paced around, nervous, but also absolutely delighted. i suddenly stopped when i heard the sharp slash of the netherite blocks lifting.

the lava must be dropping. i rushed to the blocks and rested my elbows on them, cupping my chin on my hands. the grin on my face widening. i stared wide eyed at the top of the lava, waiting for it to drop. and it did. it was slow and made me impatient, but i squealed enthusiastically, like a 13 year old girl to calm my nerves.

as the lava disappeared slowly, i could just see sams and the visitors hair... blond? who's blond- oh... my god.

tommyinnit. i backed away into the middle of my room.

he's back again.

wow. he looks... okay- or well, better than how i last saw him. my grin widened much more and i felt giddy. i got to talk to tommy again, one of my best friends.

sam and tommy were both talking to each other, before tommy walked closer into what looked like is the bridge. it started moving, which made tommy jolt at first. i snickered. he never used to flinch or get scared as much when i was with him.

he got closer and closer, and i got happier and happier.

when he got to the end, the bridge stopped suddenly and he jerked forward, almost landing face first into the floor, and i giggled quietly to myself. he steadied himself as sam shouted at us.

"IM GONNA DROP THE LAVA DOWN NOW!"

and tommy sent back a quick 'okay'

my heart lightened at hearing his voice again. i've missed shim so much. he's one of my friends and i've just wanted to see him again. sam is my hero.

"see you soon sam!" tommy shouted.

"alrighty." sam said back.

tommy poked his head out, completely ignoring me. i'm guessing he was looking at the lava.

"holy fucking shit, there is no way out." he mumbled to himself.

he turned around and looked at me. i could see slight fear behind his eyes.

"since when did obsidian become cryi-" he looked at the obsidian in my cell, curiously before cutting himself off. awkwardly standing there.

then he looked dead at me. "hello."

i completely forgot how to talk for a second. it had been a while since i had properly talked to someone. i walked slowly towards him, making his take a slow step back. the netherite was still up, so i don't know how he'd think i'd be able to hurt him.

"he- hello?" he looked at me, confused as to why i wasn't responding.

"hi." i shot back, my voice soft and happy.

he looked kind of shocked. i'm guessing he was surprised at how joyful i sounded. i guess he thought i'd be all sad and gloomy as i'm in prison.

he smiled quickly and then he looked pitiful and then he tried to make himself look tough.

i could see many emotions going through him right now. i mean i'd feel like that too if i met my bestfriend that i haven't seen in ages.

he exhaled. "hey."

we both looked at eachother in silence before he spoke up.

"can i- can i come in- oh thank you." the netherite blocks dropped suddenly and he walked in.

"what's up dream." he said my name in a way that made me feel small.

"nothing much." i breathed.

he looked around my cell, taking it all in and he sighed.

i looked around, before my eyes landed on the empty space to where my clock used to be.

"i lost my clock since the last time you came." i stated.

"that almost- if you take out the L on that word.. and then it's- it's a different word then it's funny." his voice went croaky and quiet.

still hasn't changed his emcee of humour huh.

i just stared at him, before grinning.

"that's the tommy i know." i chuckled and his smile slowly faltered.

he breathed in shakily. "dream this is umm-"

i picked up some of the potatoes i had in my pocket and handed them to him.

"thanks..." he said.

god. i was going to love his company.
