I'm More Me When I'm With You

DIPSY'S BEEN REINCARNATED AS DREAM???

        Once they got back, they began drawing different designs for their new shelter. It wasn't a full on house, but that's okay. It didn't need to be. In typical married couple fashion, they argued over which design to use. They eventually settled on something with a very cute cottagecore vibe.
      Tommy agreed to it because once he got a garden started, the flowers would compliment it. Deo agreed to it because he thought that it would piss Tommy off to have such a cutesy design to the mock-cabin. Neither were aware of the others intentions. Maybe it was for the best that it's kept that way.

Dream decided to stop by, curious as to why Tommy's been so silent lately. Deo wasn't very enthused by this surprise visit, especially since Tommy also seemed to have been uncomfortable with Dream around. "We're building me a vacation cabin here at the beach since it's such a nice view," Deo was trying really hard to be nice to the Admin, he really was. "This is a plains biome," Dream deadpanned.
"A plains biome, with a beach side view," Deo countered. This knockoff Dipsy from that terrifying kids show was not gonna mansplain, manipulate, manslaughter him. Tommy was once again, silent during all of this, but even so Deo could tell his shoulders were tense, body rigid from fear, perhaps. Nevertheless, he persisted his (probably) one-sided argument (or would it be a staring contest now?) with Dream.
"Is that so," Deo swore that Dream was looking at Tommy when he said that. Based on Tommy suddenly darting his eyes, he'd say he was right. Deo can narrow his eyes too, y'know. "Yeah, don't be jealous just because Techno was right about you not having a house," Tommy knew that Deo was only fueling the flames at this point, and was silently praying that all would end well.

Dream, well, he couldn't necessarily say anything, but he couldn't do anything either. He truly was backed into a corner, and this new guy knew it. He's now regretting adding someone as powerful as Deo, the co-leader of Business Bay. Surely he was the brains behind that operation, as Tommy wouldn't have been old enough, or smart enough for that manner, to come up with anything of the sort on his own.
         Or maybe Tommy was fooling him, and his character here, on his SMP, is merely an act he puts on. If he were though, he would've noticed by now, wouldn't he? It takes a manipulator to know a manipulator, yet if Tommy was as bad as he was, then he'd have known long beforehand, right? He hums discontentedly in response to Deo.
     Better to be complacent and stand down for now. He needs to watch these two closely, observe their fighting and speech patterns more intently if he wants to take them both down. "Very well then, I'll be off. Until next time, my friends," he smirks under his mask, a glint of mischief and malice in his eye.

      Tommy smiled slightly, and gave a small wave as Dream left, whereas Deo shuddered upon hearing him utter those parting words. He swore there was an underlying tone, implying that 'next time' they met one or two of them would die. He hoped it weren't so, but this is Dream he's talking about.
     And if one of them were to die...well it sure as hell wouldn't be him or Toms. He promised as such long ago, and he swears to hold hos promise true until the day that Goddess Death herself comes to claim him.
 
    A/n: being a sophomore in high school sucks. It's only been one day in and I'm already on the verge of kms bc of my classes. Mainly geometry. I'm gay and can't do math, sorry chat.
