The Apocalypse [Dreamnotfound AU]

Bring Them Back

Hi guys, sorry for not posting in a bit but I'm back! Hope you enjoy this chapter <3

------------------------------------------------------------

Tw: mild swearing, weapons, zombies

"You - you want us to go find Dream and George?" Skeppy says, voice trembling a little as he looks between Bad and Techno. "Like, go through all of the zombies out in the hall and find them in some random classroom?"

"Pretty much," Techno confirms, and Skeppy feels like he's been punched in the stomach. He looks to Bad, wide-eyed, but his boyfriend looks distant, like he's already coming up with a plan. A plan that might get both of them killed. Of course, he cares about Dream and George, but...

"And no one else can go?" Skeppy almost whines. Bad shoots him an exasperated look and Skeppy glares back at him. At least he's finally got his attention.

"We can do this, Skeppy," Bad says, reaching out to put a hand on his shoulder. "We just need to come up with a plan." He sighs when Skeppy still doesn't look convinced. "What, you wanna just leave Dream and George to the zombies then?"

"No," Skeppy sighs, pulling his sleeves over his hands. But he still glares at Techno, who just smirks back at him. And Skeppy ignores the small flare of pride that Techno trusts him and Bad enough to conduct a rescue mission while he's busy keeping Sapnap alive.

Speaking of Sapnap...

He's still in the corner of the caf, leaning against the wall. His good arm is wrapped around Karl's shoulders, and Karl is leaning against his chest. Even from here, Skeppy can see the glimmer of tears in Karl's eyes. But there's also determination there. Quackity's pacing next to them, eyes focused. Apparently, Sapnap's already told them about the cure.

Techno had told him and Bad, too. And when Skeppy asked Techno what happened to the guys he was with, Techno just said it hadn't worked out and he'd left. Curiosity still burns in Skeppy, but his worries are currently a bit more important.

"Fine," Skeppy says, turning to face Bad. "What's your genius plan, then?"

Bad shrugs, blushing. "I don't have one yet. I thought we would just figure it out on the way."

Skeppy stares at him, and then turns to Techno. "Please, help us. We're gonna die."

"I have total faith that both of you will probably come back alive," Techno declares, unhelpfully. "And plans are for nerds anyway. Just wing it."

"You want us to just wing fighting through like a million zombies?" Skeppy exclaims, but Bad squeezes his shoulder.

"Grab a weapon, Skeppy. We should go as soon as we can. Every second that we waste, Dream and George are in danger."

"Bad," a voice says from behind them and Skeppy whips around. His heart speeds up in his chest when he sees Sapnap standing in front of them, leaning on Karl for support. Quackity stands a little bit behind them, trying not to look too interested in the conversation and fidgeting with his broomstick.

"Bring them back," Sapnap says quietly, and Skeppy remembers suddenly that Sapnap is best friends with Dream and George and that this is probably harder for him then for anyone else. Karl squeezes his arm and Quackity grumbles something.

"What was that?" Bad asks Quackity, who sighs loudly.

"I said," Quackity repeats, his cheeks redder then usual. "Make sure George - I mean, both of them, obviously, don't die. Or I'll kill you."
