Switching pets

Chapter 12

Dream stood there, his heart pounding in his chest like a runaway train. George's message had taken him completely by surprise, and he struggled to make sense of the emotions swirling inside him. The words on his phone screen seemed to burn into his mind, and he couldn't shake the weight of their significance.

Taking a deep breath, Dream tried to compose himself and put on a facade of normalcy. He didn't want anyone around him to suspect that something was wrong. The stream must go on, he reminded himself. He couldn't let his personal turmoil interfere with the entertainment and enjoyment of his audience.

With a forced smile, he turned back to his viewers and continued as if nothing had happened. "Hey, everyone! Sorry for the little interruption there," he said, trying to sound as cheerful as possible. "Technical glitches, you know how it is."

As Techno gave Dream a questioning look, concern etched on his face, Dream mustered a small but reassuring smile, nodding in response. Techno had always been perceptive, and despite Dream's best efforts to appear fine, he knew his boyfriend could see through the facade.

But this wasn't the time or place to delve into this. For now, he appreciated Techno's unspoken support and understanding.

With a swift shift in mood, Techno turned his attention back to the stream, his charismatic persona returning. "Alright, people, let's go kill some kids!" he boomed, rallying his viewers with his typical infectious energy.

The chat erupted with excitement, as fans joined in on Techno's enthusiasm. They knew they were about to witness some epic gameplay, and they were eager to follow Techno on his quest to conquer Tommy's kingdom.

Dream took a deep breath, thankful for the distraction that the game offered. It gave him a chance to focus on something other then this.

After the successful stream, Techno's energy seemed to wane, and he turned to Dream with a serious expression. "What happened? I don't want lies, Princess, what the fuck happened?" he asked, his voice tinged with concern and a touch of frustration.

Dream knew he couldn't evade Techno's questioning forever. He needed Techno and his support no matter if Techno was going to flip out. Taking a moment to collect his thoughts, Dream sighed and looked up at Techno with a mixture of vulnerability and determination.

"It's about George," he began, trying to find the right words. "He sent me a message before the stream. It was... unexpected." Dream hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. He wasn't sure how Techno would handle this since Techno had quite the temper when angry.

Techno's expression softened as he sensed Dream's unease. "What kind of message?" he asked gently, giving his boyfriend space to open up.

Dream's voice trembled as he continued, his emotions threatening to overwhelm him. "George somehow got a picture of us together at the waterpark... kissing," he choked out, unable to hold back the tears any longer. The betrayal cut deep, and he struggled to comprehend how someone he trusted and cared about could resort to such manipulation.

"He asked me to meet with him later tonight, and he said the outcome will depend on whether he posts the picture or not," Dream explained, his voice strained with sorrow and anger. The weight of the situation was crushing, and he felt like his world was unraveling.

"I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch.'' Techno said. He was smiling, such a sadistic smile full of anger. His eyes shone with disgust.'' That little cock-sucker want's to fuck with me?'' Techno muttered under his breath
