Techno woke up with a sore neck and when he opened his eyes, he saw why. He was cuddled on the couch with Dream, who honestly didn't look too great. He shivered and tried to move closer. That's when he noticed the weight on the other side of him.

Blinking sleep out of his eyes, he frowned. There was Tommy, looking equally as horrible as Dream.

As he tried to move, he heard Dream whine and he just huffed out a laugh before reluctantly pushing out of his grip. Instead, the axolotl reached out and so did Tommy. He held back an awh as their hands met and Dream pulled the little piglin into a hug.

They were, sadly, most definitely sick.

Hopefully, the other kids weren't, but there was no way to tell until they woke up. He hasn't had to deal with Drista or Purpled when sick, but he knows that both Tubbo and Ranboo try to deny the fact while Tommy, and Dream it seems, gets very clingy.

Tommy always did seem to take a lot after him.

He made soup. After checking on the kids, he discovered that, he was the only one who managed to get out of this sickness scot-free. His immune system was always one of the best.

Joining him in the kitchen was Philza and Purpled, who had woken up when he went to check on him. Despite the little drowned slowly falling asleep at the table, he followed.

His friend eventually coaxed him to sleep, after he didn't seem to be more awake after slamming his head into the table.

Techno wondered if he was clingy too and just didn't know where Dream was.

"Are you feeling any better, Phil?" Techno asked softly, being mindful of the kid snoring in the elytrian's arms.

"It would take more than one arrow to take me down." He smiled.

Techno raised an eyebrow as he poured some in a bowl, "So two arrows then?"

They laughed and then paused.

"Dream's that Dream, isn't he?"

Techno nodded. Before pouring another bowl.

"He." A pause, "Remembered."

"And you?"

"Phil," He laughed softly, placing the bowls on the table, "I forgot to forget."

He went to check on Dream and Tommy and it seemed that Tubbo and Drista had woken up just to snuggle.

If they didn't need to eat, he would've let them be. Not to mention they needed medicine, Philza had left to go get it while he got them to eat, however as he managed to get the kids awake, Dream wasn't budging.

"Dream, Aurum, you need to eat." He crouched down to shake his shoulder before brushing hair out of his face.

Instead he leaned into touch and suddenly Techno had a green axolotl in his arms. And if he didn't know any better he would say that he was dead.

But he knew, which just meant he was hopefully regenerating. So instead of looking after the kids in the kitchen, he decided to draw bath so Dream doesn't die.

Once he was sure Dream was going to fine, he went back to their kids.

~

Dream wasn't really sure what was happening. All he knew was that it was cold. Like the chill you get after being in the water.

He did feel a warmth next him, but soon it left. But there was less of it. He opened his eyes, not a lot, but he did. Enough to see his son, so he reached out and pulled Tommy close.

Then he fell back to sleep.

~

When he woke back up, someone was shaking his shoulder.

"Aurum... need to..."

He blinked open his eyes, though still really squinted, he could hardly see through his eyelashes. Tommy was gone, but their was a hand brushing against his face. He leaned into the touch and as pink hair came into view, he leaned fully into him and suddenly he was smaller.

Dream swapped into his axolotl form, breath slowing as he felt a feeling akin to regeneration potion fill his body.

He let out a squeak as Techno petted his head before placing him in the gently bath tub.

The axolotl planned to speedrun his recovery.
