Some things Shouldn't be Shared [indefinite Hiatus]

Chapter 3: Tommy has Joined your Party!

I'm back? I started writing this again and I thought some people might still wanna read this. So I hope you enjoy. My updates will be a bit sporadic as I'm writing this whenever I feel like it now. But I will say that I have started chapter four and it should be done within a few weeks.

"Dream huh? That's a weird name.." Dream hummed and shrugged a little.

"Maybe, but it's mine. Take it or leave it."

"Uh say ki-T-Tommy. How old are you? And are you all alone?"

"Tsk! What's it to you? I'm plenty old enough to be on my own!" Blonde hair is tossed violently to the side as the boy snapped. Dream once again lifted his hands in surrender for a moment.

"I didn't mean anything bad by it bud, I was just curious. After all I know all too well how cruel this world is to ki- guys your age." The taller of the two offered a smile that Tommy couldn't see.

"Siiince you're all on your own... Why don't you join me an my pals?" Tommy stared at him for a very long time before his face twisted in annoyance.

"Huh!? Didn't I just tell your dumbass that I don't need a babysitter?!?!" The boy thumped his chest with his fist before shoving a finger into Dream's chest. Dream couldn't help the chuckle that responded to the rough prodding, chuckling quickly turning into a soft wheeze when Tommy puffed up in anger.

"The fuck you laughing at?!"

"An offly rude brat aren't you?" Dream couldn't help the teasing lilt to his voice and smoothly twirled out of Tommy's angry swipe.

"I was asking~ Because I thought you'd wanna hang with some pretty cool mercenaries. B-uuu~t if you're not interested I can just find some other guy." Dream waved his hand into the air before turning to start walking away. Grinning beneath his mask when Tommy grabs the back of his cloak.

"Hey! Hey! Slow it down big guy! You didn't even let me consider it!"

"Ah...I didn't?" The grin was obvious in his voice. Despite the obvious teasing Tommy nods his head. Slipping around in front of Dream he stares the taller blonde down for an awkward minute, all before a wide grin broke out across his face.

"If you're a bunch of mercenaries then of course I've gotta join! You lot always need help!" The giggle at the end of his self assured statement was contagious, Dream chuckled a little along with. Dream motioned Tommy to follow along with him as he started walking in the last direction he saw his friends go.

"Sooo what's the first mission I'm gonna join in on?" The excitement in Tommy's voice was evident as he danced around Dream.

"I'll tell you when we meet up with my friends, that way I don't have to repeat myself." A smile in his words. He watches Tommy dance around him, as the kid starts rambling about everything and nothing, probably to fill the silence. Dream did his best to listen along to Tommy, briefly wondering if this was the same fondness Foolish felt when a little Dream would excitedly tell him what happened in his story books. A pang of homesickness strikes Dream briefly.

"Oh oh and then he-"

"Thank you for your continued patronage! I'll be back in a few weeks with a new shipment!"

A bolt of icy shock ran through him at the same time a cloud of white passed out of his peripheral. 'That was-!'
He snaps his head side to side rapidly, while a blond head of hair continually bounced into his field of vision. Dream desperately tried to see where that mass of curly white hair, and a familiar voice went. It was her! It was her! It had to be. And he desperately wanted, no needed to find her! He was so close! The closest he's been in years to seeing his family again. Grabbing onto Tommy's shoulders to still him, Dream spun the two of them around a few times to no avail. She was gone and he hadn't seen where she left.
