Healing Scars (Sequel to Wounds of Pain)

(3) The Dream House

Tommy woke up the next day. He yawned and stretched. Eventually, he got out of bed and grabbed his phone. "11:46?! We are supposed to be at Dream's by noon!" He panicked. He ran to Tubbo's room.

"Tubbo! Get up, quick! We gotta get to Dream's house!!" He yelled, shaking Tubbo awake. "Wha... oh, okay.." Tubbo said sleepily, as he woke up. They both quickly got dressed into casual clothes and met in the living room. By the time they were ready Tommy was out of breath. He sat down to put his shoes on. "Are you ready to-" His sentence was cut off by a car horn beeping outside.

Tommy got his shoes on and ran outside with Tubbo, to see Wilbur's car there. "I didn't know you were going to pick us up!" Tommy yelled at Wilbur. "Well, I am. Get in the car, loser." Wilbur joked. Tommy got in the passenger seat, and Tubbo hopped in the back seat.

Throughout the entirety of the car ride, they played loud music, yelled at each other, jokingly of course, and just annoyed each other. Mainly Wilbur. Soon enough, they arrived at Dream's house.

Wilbur parked the car and got out, the other two boys joined him. Tommy and Tubbo ran up to the door and started aggressively knocking on it. "Jesus, guys! Quit it!" Wilbur said, laughing, as he pushed them aside. He rang the doorbell. Shortly after, Techno opened the door. "Hey guys, welcome-" Techno started, before Tommy pushed him aside and ran it. Of course, Tubbo followed him. "Bruhh."

Wilbur chuckled as he walked in, Techno shutting the door behind him.  "Sorry about them. They're just a bit excited to be here, y'know?" Wilbur apologized for the two teens. "Eh, don't worry about it. Pretty much expected it from Tommy. Well, of course Tubbo would do what he does, too." Techno agreed.

Wilbur and Techno walked into the living room, chatting with each other. They sat on the sofa, as Tommy and Tubbo were running around the house. "This place is massive!" Tubbo yelled. Wilbur chuckled. "Well, he isn't wrong," Wilbur stated, "this place is pretty huge. How big is it?" Techno shrugged. "Eh, it's three stories tall, the bottom floor is the basement and laundry room, middle floor, here, is the living room, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom, and top floor is the bedrooms, which there are four of." He replied. "We don't need four bedrooms, so we just use them for storage."

"Wow," Wilbur responded, surprised. "well, I'm really glad that you came to live with us, Techno." "It's nothin'. I'd rather be living near all my friends, anyways." Techno replied.

Wilbur looked down. "I never really got to apologize. I'm really-" Wilbur began, before hearing the doorbell ring.

"I'll go get that, one sec." Techno said, getting up. He opened up the door for Eret to walk in. "What's up, guys!" Eret yelled. "ERET!" Tubbo yelled from upstairs, running down them quickly, Tommy following shortly after. "Tubbo!!" Eret said happily, as Tubbo ran up to him and hugged him. "I'm so glad you're here, Eret!" Tubbo exclaimed.

Dream finally walked in from the kitchen. "Hey guys! Now that you're all here we can eat!" He yelled. They all walked into the kitchen, minus Tommy, who ran. Then, they sat at the table while Dream set out the food. "What did you make, Dream?" Eret asked. "Oh, just porkchops." Dream responded, laughing. "You son of a..." Techno said.

They all laughed as they began eating. Eret had excellent table manners, no surprise there, and Tubbo did too. Techno was still mad about eating porkchops. Of course, he was joking for the bit, but they all knew that. Tommy kept saying how great the food was and praising Dream's cooking. He also ate his food really fast, and ate every bite, which pleased Wilbur. He was glad to see Tommy was actually eating well.

Now that Wilbur had thought of it, he realized that Tommy actually was a lot better than he was a few years ago. He never really noticed. Tommy was wearing a short sleeved shirt, with no signs of any scars. And, it was clear that he was eating well, because he was acting his normal self and eating his food without any signs of being disgusted by it. Tommy was also more involved in things than he was, and was a lot more energetic and active. He also wasn't as skinny as he used to be when he had many issues, but in a good way.

Soon, everyone finished their food and put their plates away. Dream went to the fridge and got out wine. "Who wants some?" He asked. "Sure, I'll take some." Eret said. "I'll have a little I guess." Techno said. "No thanks." Wilbur said. Tommy tried to convince Dream to give him some, but Dream just kept denying him.

Eventually, the party was over. They had to go home.
