The Bet (Dreamnoblade)

Friday

The day had finally come. Friday. Sapnap had texted Dream late on Thursday that they could cancel the bet. Now, as much as Dream really didn't want to continue. A bet is a bet. He couldn't back out with only a day left!

Was he still heartbroken? Yes. Was he still competitive? Absolutely.

So putting aside his pain he walked into the library during his free period to make a new plan.

By lunchtime, Dream was ready. No matter what happened or what he saw he was going to ask Techno out. To ice cream. As...friends. Because that's what they were. Just friends. ( were they even that?)

Dream shook his head to get rid of the sad thoughts and walked with purpose towards Techno's table.

Thankfully Quackity was nowhere to be seen. The only people at the table were Wilbur, Tommy, Niki, Tubbo, Ranboo, Fundy, and of course Technoblade.

Niki noticed him first and gave a little wave. He waved back nervously and walked over to where Techno was sitting.

Techno wasn't talking to anyone so Dream took that as an opportunity.

"Uh hey, Techno!" Dream greeted with fake cheerfulness.

Techno turned and looked at him in surprise, "Oh hallo Dream. Do you need something?"

Dream tried not to grimace at the question. He knew it was weird for him to be over there but Techno didn't need to point it out! (He didn't but Dream was nervous!)

"Actually yes I do." Dream put on his most confident voice.

"Ok, what's up?" Techno turned his body to face Dream while giving him a curious look.

Ok, you can do this. Dream thought while taking a deep breath.

"I was wondering if yo-"

"Blade! Ayeee man!" Dream's question was cut off by the one and only Quackity.

Dream was seriously considering that he had somehow done something to upset the universe.

Dream could only watch in dismay as Quackity pushed past him and snuggled into Techno's side.

Ok yeah, no Dream definitely did something to piss the universe off.

If Dream wasn't having a moment he would've seen Techno awkwardly move away from Quackity. But alas he was suffering so he missed it.

"Uh, what did you want to ask Dream?" Techno asked distractedly, still trying to get away from Quackity.

"Oh um, forget it. It isn't important." Dream just wanted to leave now. He was already heartbroken from the day prior and now he had to see this? He needed to find out what he did to the universe asap.

"Um, bye Techno." With that, he speed-walked back to his normal table.

When he got to the table he slumped down defeatedly.

"You good dude?" Sapnap questioned from across the table where he was sitting with George.

"Noooo," Dream whined, "Not only is my love life doomed but now I'm going to lose this stupid bet."

"We can call it off if you want." Sapnap offered.

"Nah, a deal is a deal." Even if my happiness is now ruined. Dream thought bitterly.

"Ok..." Sapnap still sounded skeptical but he didn't push.

"What happened anyway?" George questioned from where he was sitting beside Sapnap.
