Dream groaned softly as he opened his eyes, grateful for the lack of the extremely bright lights. He slowly sat up, not bothering to look around until he did. When he looked around, he could see the amount of people in the room had increased since he slept.

Tommy was the first to do anything, hugging Dream before ranting about how stupid Dream was for worrying them all like that while trying not to start crying. Tubbo had reacted next, hugging both of them without a word.

Ranboo just stared, seeming unsure of what to do. Dream took a minute to register what was happening before he raised the arm that wasn't held to the bed, offering Ranboo a place in the hug as well. The enderman hybrid took it, hugging him tightly.

Dream smiled a bit, patting his back. He'd pat the other two's backs as well, but he couldn't exactly reach. The arm with the tube thingy in it was tied down, probably to avoid him hurting himself more.

He understood that, he did have that freakout when they first came in. They told him they'd take it off in a day or two, when they were sure he wasn't going to panic like that again. "I uh, I made cookies if you want one. Um.. how are you feeling?"

 Niki was nervous and stressed, that much was clear. Dream smiled at her. "I- To be honest, I barely remember what happened. So I'm okay, confused though." Dream admitted, keeping the smile on his face.

Niki hummed softly. "Tommy and Techno were freaking out so much, I had to call Phil to calm them down. Not me though, nuh-uh. I knew you were going to make it through this." Wilbur grinned, giving him a thumbs up. Techno rolled his eyes.

"Please, you were bawling your eyes out." He pointed out, making Wilbur cross his arms. "I got something in my eye!" He yelled, making Dream wince a bit. Shit, his head hurt. "Can you two be quiet?" Drista hummed from the seat next to the bed, making Dream jump.

Holy shit, how had he not noticed her? The trio of kids who had been hugging him let go and Drista took their spots, sniffling a bit as she tried to hold back her sobs. "You worried me, asshole.." Dream smiled softly, of course he did. "I'm sorry." After a few more reunions, hugs and comments to each other, the doctors walked in.

"The uh, the police came here earlier than we were told. I'm sorry, but do you think we could try the memories with the police here?" The doctor seemed to look guilty and upset, Dream couldn't blame them, honestly. "Alright. Do they have to leave or..?" Dream didn't know how he felt at the idea of being alone. "Well.. not everyone can stay, it'd be far too crowded and we don't know how you'll react to.. Well.."

The doctor took a breath before continuing. "But I'd say if you want, a couple can stay. Okay?" Dream nodded, thanking the doctor before looking at the others. Techno ended up being one of the two to stay, Punz being the other one.

Those two had seen him at his worst before when even George and Sapnap hadn't. And neither of them had left him behind when he wasn't doing good.

It didn't take long for the doctors to start the process of trying to help him remember with the police in the room. They started off by saying words related to the situation. They didn't want to dive straight into saying what happened or saying sentences to him, they only wanted him to remember it enough to talk to the police.

As it would happen, it didn't work that way for him. Rather than remembering the general events, his mind decided to replay the entire situation to him in pieces.

It started as small bits, just the memories of hands, of crying. Then it slowly started to become a bigger picture. He had been asked to say everything he remembered as he remembered it so he did, he told them about the way his head had been hit onto the desk, how he begged Sapnap to call the police, and what the person had looked like.

He told the police about his brown hair with streaks of red, the scar he had briefly seen just under one eye, the tattoo of a dolphin on his hand.

Dream stopped talking all of a sudden as the rest of the memories flooded him, what exactly had happened. He felt a hand on his arm and jumped, shaking his head as he tried to get away from it. The hand was taken away but they were still talking, why were they talking? Dream tried to curl up and hold himself but he couldn't move one of his arms and it felt like he was being held down again.

Dream forgot about the fact he was in the hospital with people who wouldn't hurt him while he panicked, only seeing himself back in his house and struggling against the person who had pinned him down. "I'm here, Dream. Nobody will hurt you here."

Dream shook his head, because he was being hurt. He was- the person had to be wrong. "You're in the hospital, Daydream." Another voice called gently. But he was in his house, that wasn't right..

"Hey, listen, okay? You're here with me, Sapnap, George, Punz and Techno. You're in the hospital and there's two doctors in the room. Nobody can or will hurt you while we're here." Dream couldn't remember what happened after that, it all got fuzzy. Drista told him that Techno held him down while the doctors put him to sleep because he was trying to tear off everything attached to him and almost fucked up the injection tube things again.


~~A few weeks later~~


Dream had been allowed to leave the hospital after they ensured there was no damage that they hadn't treated yet- Dream had apparently gotten a concussion and they had wanted to make sure nothing else happened, considering none of them knew what else may have occurred during the.. Incident. It luckily hadn't been severe and hadn't caused any permanent damage.

He had also torn something... inside of him and that had to be monitored, to make sure it didn't get any worse. Dream appreciated how they weren't specific or explicit about exactly what it was, but still made it clear they were willing to explain it all to him if he asked.

Dream didn't want to know, and he trusted them enough not to worry. He ended up seeing one of the doctors he had been there for so many times- broken arms, fainting from a number of things, etc etc. That doctor had seen him in the same room so many times.

People were getting concerned by his lack of activity on any and all platforms and everyone was expecting him to have just been training for MCC, which was in a few hours. Scott had been told briefly about the incident and the condition Dream was in, and so the man hadn't put him in the MCC- though he had been told he could join as a spectator or anything like that if he wanted.

Dream had convinced everyone he would be fine at his own house, even though he was scared to go back. He said the police had finished up their investigation for the time being and he didn't want to worry anyone or distract anyone from the championship. They had reluctantly let him go to his own place but made him promise to call them if he needed anything.

Dream clenched his fists tightly as he slowly walked into his house, looking around to make sure he was alone. He ended up taking down anything that made him think of that dolphin tattoo, resulting in some statues, notebooks and posters being put in a box which he then put under his bed. He'd take them out when pictures of the ocean didn't make him feel like someone was going to come out of his closet.

He had checked all over his house just to make sure, even opening all the drawers- he knew nobody could fit in those and it'd be unlikely for a camera to be put in one, but it felt better to be safe. Dream avoided going into his own room other than doing the check for anyone or anything. He ended up using his laptop in the lounge room rather than his gaming computer.

Dream meant to go to the voice chat but realized how exhausted he was and chose to take a nap instead, just until the event started.


~Sapnap's POV~


Sapnap ran around the lobby as he waited for his team to unmute and finish their intros, trying his best to keep his mouth shut about Dream's situation despite the many questions he was getting.

He had sent Dream a message a few minutes ago, asking how he felt about telling the fans that something happened. "Guys- Guys, Dream's fine, okay? He's just busy." Sapnap stated, he wasn't technically wrong. Dream was busy recovering.

The chat seemed to accept that as an answer for a while until some decided to keep pushing, asking what he was busy with and if he was going to be back soon. Some tried to get the others to relax and stop asking questions about another streamer while in Sapnap's chat.

His teammates joined the call and Sapnap was so thankful for that. He quickly jumped into a conversation with them and brought his attention away from chat.

About halfway through the event, he heard the familiar sound of someone joining the voice chat. "Hey.. Sorry, I meant to join before the event started." Dream chuckled nervously. "Check discord real quick." Sapnap hummed, Dream quickly doing so. "Uh, Yeah- Yeah you can tell them, just not explicitly- please." Dream answered.

"Thanks D. I'll talk to chat about it later."

Sapnap ended up waiting until the end of the stream to talk about the situation that happened with chat. "You guys wanted to know about Dream. There was an incident and we had to get authorities involved for his safety. He's alright now but he's been in the hospital and that's why he hasn't been active." Sapnap explained, being sure not to bring up the actual injuries or what exactly happened.

"If he wants to reveal more about it, that's for him to do. If he doesn't decide to say anything more about it, then that's his decision and I want you all to accept that."


It had been a couple days since he said that and people had begun speculating, coming up with theories as to what happened. Some started posting fake videos about Dream, saying they found it out. Some pretended to be alt accounts of his. Some tried to tell those making theories or false claims that they were being rude and disrespectful. Sapnap sent out a tweet asking them to stop but otherwise didn't intervene.

Giving it too much attention would probably get it to keep going even further. Dream was getting ready to film another video, to get back online. He had been avoiding the media altogether. He and some of the others had already gathered up and had just finished recording when Dream decided to check out Twitter- it had been a while after all.

He wasn't bothered by all the fake information at all, until he saw a picture of a familiar tattoo covering his face from just two days ago. He knew that because of the outfit and the fact he was in the lounge.

"Sap- Sap come pick me up, please." Dream whispered, only just loud enough for Sapnap to hear. Sapnap told him something about being on his way before he left the call. Dream pretended like nothing was wrong, like he hadn't just seen that picture. A little while later, Dream heard a car honk outside and immediately grabbed his laptop and phone before running out of the house.

He hopped into Sapnap's car and closed the door. "Do you wanna tell me what's happening or do you want me to drive right now?" Dream took a deep breath. "Drive, please- I'll, uh, explain on the way." Dream held his arms tightly, shaking a bit. How didn't he notice anything different? How didn't he notice that person was back? Oh prime, it could've happened again if he hadn't found that picture then and there.

Sapnap got to driving away from the house, purposefully taking a longer way and making multiple detours just to be safe. "The guy, he was back. A picture showed up on Twitter and oh prime-" Dream was spiraling into a panic and he couldn't stop.

Sapnap stopped outside Techno, Wilbur, Tommy and Phil's house, deciding that it would probably be the safest. Plus, he knew they wouldn't mind.

"Open up, guys! It's just me and D!" Sapnap yelled as he knocked, wanting to get inside as quickly as he possibly could. He made all the turns and ten second stops purely to try and throw the man off, even if Dream only told him about it near the end of the drive. Sapnap had that gut feeling the second he was asked to pick Dream up.

The second the door was opened, they were both going inside with Dream barely able to breathe anymore and Sapnap trying to keep him as calm as possible. "What happened?" Wilbur asked as he closed and locked the door, the other three rushing downstairs. "Dream found a picture of that fucker's hand covering his- Dream's- face up from two days ago."

Techno didn't ask any questions, going right to comforting Dream, getting him to put the phone and laptop down and trying to calm him down. Phil took Tommy to the kitchen so they could make some hot chocolate- he didn't need the help, he just knew having more people around wouldn't help and he knew Tommy loved to help, despite what he said sometimes.

Wilbur called the police about it and found the photo, reporting it. "The police said they're sending some over to look for him."

Techno wrapped his arms around the blonde who had clung onto him, keeping himself as relaxed and gentle as he could so as to not panic him more. "Dream? Hey, do you want to stay here for a while?"

Dream nodded, muttering a small apology as he buried his face in the pinkette's shoulder. He felt embarrassed by his own cries and panic. "Lucky for us, I don't stream often so you'll be stuck with me." Techno hummed, grinning a bit.

Dream didn't say anything, closing his eyes and letting himself completely relax. He knew he wouldn't be hurt with Techno around- let alone with Sapnap, Phil, Tommy and Wilbur all there as well. Even if Sapnap probably had to leave sometime soon. "I'm going to call some of the others and let them know you won't be at your house, alright?" Dream nodded, not wanting to move.
