Living Together // DNF

Tommy managed to get a seat on the same flight back to England that Dream and George were on, sitting in the row just behind them.

And over the course of the long flight, Dream quickly learned a ton of things about Tommy. For starters, he talked a lot, and his vocabulary was mostly made up of curse words. And he seemed to have an endless amount of energy, spending a majority of the flight with his face pressed into the space between Dream and George's seats, asking them about a million questions apiece.

But despite how loud he was and the relentless questioning, Dream could see that he was a good kid who meant well, even if it was going to be exhausting having him around. And as he sat in the small airplane seat, Tommy chattering away happily, Dream couldn't help but think about the fact that he didn't actually have a return flight to Florida, but instead had left his trip open for the time being.

At the very thought of it, Diane's parting words rang through Dream's mind, "don't be afraid to put him on a flight back to Florida when he gets too annoying."

Dream knew he would never actually do that, but in his jet lagged and sleep deprived state, he was almost half considering it.

When they finally got back to the apartment, Dream couldn't seem to stop yawning, dragging the bags in and leaving them beside the front door, immediately dropping down onto the couch and letting his head fall back. George sat down beside him, his body curling up against Dream's as his arms wrapped around the blonde's torso, both too tired to move.

But of course, Tommy was wide awake, his voice carrying through the small apartment as he gave himself a tour and called out, "it's kinda small for three people, isn't it?"

Dream kept his eyes closed, shaking his head as a smile crept onto his face, hearing George exhale a quiet laugh as the blonde responded, "that's because only two people actually live here, Tommy. I didn't exactly plan on bringing anyone back from Florida."

Dream rubbed his eyes with one hand, letting them open as Tommy came striding back into the room, a smile on his face as he responded, "I was a pleasant surprise then, wasn't I?"

Dream laughed, nodding as Tommy's eyes scanned over the room, landing back on Dream as he said, "I noticed there's only one bedroom, where will I be sleeping?"

Dream motioned to the couch he was sitting on, and Tommy's eyebrows raised questioningly. He took a step closer to the couch as he continued, "well in that case, can you guys please get off of my bed?"

George groaned quietly at this, and Dream felt him shift in his arms as he pushed himself up to a sitting position, his brown eyes opening as he peered at Tommy and muttered, "are you gonna take a nap or something? Will we actually get some peace and quiet?"

Tommy made a face of mock surprise, his hand coming to his chest before his face split into another smile, shaking his head as he said, "no, actually-"

Before he could finish his thought, the front door was flying open, and a small boy with brown hair was barreling into the apartment. He threw his arms open as soon as he saw Tommy, rushing towards him and almost tackling him to the floor as Tommy yelled out, "Tubbo!"

Dream's eyebrows were raised as he took in the sight of them locked in a tight embrace, the smaller boy pulling away as he responded, "Tommy! I'm so happy you're back! I missed you!"

Tommy patted his shoulder, smiling as he said, "I missed you too, Tubbo."

Then Tommy was motioning to Dream and George, going through the introductions while Tubbo gave them a friendly smile and a wave.

"You've been in England for less than an hour, Tommy. How do you already have plans?" George questioned as Tommy and Tubbo started rummaging through Tommy's bags, pulling out random computer parts.
