Chapter Text
...

...

A soft bed.

...

Stone brick walls.

...

...

Tommy felt weird.

...

Tommy felt "not-dead"...

But not exactly alive... Not like I used too... I think.

Something was very wrong.

...

"I see you're finally awake."

Dream

Tommy slowly began to sit up.

It hurt to move.

"Careful now! Health potions could only do so much-"

"I'm not dead...?" Tommy was feeling distraught,

"Of course not. I need you ."

Needed me?

"But why? There's no point to any of this... I- I'm useless to you- I'm- I'm useless to everyone.... w-why??"

"Tommy, would I have swam head first into that lava for you If that where true?"

"But lava is nothing to you-"

"Would I have used a full inventory of important potions to save you?"

"I-" Tommy didn't know.

"Would I have made you this?" Dream held out a new green bandana for Tommy.

There was color.

"My bandana..." Tommy holds it in his hands. Where did he even get it the first time? Why was it so special? Tommy didn't know...

And Tommy... didn't care?

Caring suddenly didn't appeal to Tommy.

"Thank you Dream." Tommy tied it around his neck.

Dream seemed pleased.

...

Something about that felt right.

Something about Dream being pleased.

Something about it was appealing.

Why-

"You up for a Gapple?" Dream fetched a Gapple from his inventory.

Something was nagging at Tommy's mind to accept Dream's offer- maybe he was hungry? When was the last time he ate?
"Yes please."

He was given the Gapple.

He felt better after eating it.

Better then he had in a long time- was it really just a Gapple that did this?

His mind didn't feel like it was at constant war.

He felt like he was floating above a calm river.

"Feeling better?"

Tell Dream the truth.

"Its cold."

"Your shirt and pants are very ripped up and scorched from the lava."
