~Technoblade's POV~

"..Bye dad." I held onto Tommy tightly as I quickly ran into my house. I glanced around... thank prime that I hadn't cleared up my potion supplies.

I carefully lay Tommy down on the couch as he whimpered. My usually stern expression faltered.. He was only 16 and was in this much pain..?

I turned and went to start collecting ingredients for a regeneration potion however, was tugged back by Tommy's strong grip on my cape.

I glanced back at him, his eyebrows now knitted together and the whimpering had turned into quiet mumbling. "D-Don't leave dream.. your the last person who cares.." Tommy groaned. My heart dropped...

I kneeled down at his side, unclipping the cape that loosely fell across my shoulders, and draped it over Tommy's sleeping form.

I moved his hair out the way of his face and inspected the scars and cuts that littered it. "Hey Toms.. You're not stuck with Dream anymore.. We found you.. You're home" I held his hand loosely.

I felt him squeeze back. I knew it was all incoherent sleep talk, but I hoped Tommy had heard me..

I slipped away to gather potion ingredients and tried to get my house into decent shape. My first call of action was to get Tommy in a stable state and my second was to gather blankets and pillows to make makeshift beds. I scooped up the basic ingredients and placed it on the side next to my two brewing stands.

My body shifted to autopilot. I ran outside, scooping water into six bottles and made my way back inside. Pushing the door open with my foot, I swiftly yet carefully placed three bottles on each stand. I threw different coloured ingredients into the bottles, crossing my fingers that I had put the correct things in.

As I placed in the blaze powder, I sighed. All I could do know was wait. I heard Tommy mumble again. "Thomas..? You alright?" I walked around the counter and snatched some bandages from the side cupboard.

I looked over at him and saw him slowly try to push himself up, "Hey Toms! wait, don't do that. You'll hurt yourself, let me help alright..?"

I watched intently waiting for a response, but I only got a hum. I slowly helped him sit up on the couch and began to wrap gauze around the burns. He flinched with each wrap as tears slowly began to run down his face..

"How are.. you feeling?" I said trying to start a conversation.

"And why do you want to know Dream.." He spat back, venom lacing his words.. He must've not been fully awake yet.

"Tommy do you know where you are..?" My hands danced around his injuries as I covered them in bandages. I just hoped I wasn't putting any more pressure on them than I needed to.

"...Is this a trick question..? Actually, where am I?!" A puzzled look graced his face as he shouted, finally taking in his surroundings. I could see he was beginning to panic as his breathing became irregular and he began glancing around my house quickly.

"Little brother, calm yourself. You're going to end up aggravating your wounds more.." I looked up at him as we made eye contact. I noticed a look of sadness and hope in his eyes as he finally recognized me.

"T-Technoblade..? I.. a-actually made it! F-Finally!" Tommy began laughing however, they slowly became less joyful and eventually turned into sobs.
