Mask of Menace II Protégé AU

Let's just go to sleep

Third Person POV

Tommy jumped to his feet and turned to face the man in the mask. "Dream!" Tommy shouted, reaching into his toolbelt for one of Tubbo's newest(and possibly most dangerous) inventions. "Oh Mellohi, there is no need for violence. I just want to talk." Dream sighed, stepping closer towards Tommy. Dream's cloak swayed behind him as he stepped closer to Tommy. "Just want to talk? BULLSHIT!" Tommy snapped, stepping away from Dream. "And stay the fuck away from me!"

Dream simply sighed, shaking his head as he reached for something in his pocket. Dream pulled out a mahogany notebook and flipped through the pages for a minute. Dream skimmed the page and snapped the book shut, returning it to his pocket.

"Look, Mellohi. I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to reveal the truth to you." Dream tried again, taking three more steps towards Tommy.

"I said, STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" Tommy screamed, running away from Dream.

Dream rolled his eyes and chased after Mellohi.

Tommy POV

Fuck shit fuck shit fuck shit fuck shit fuck shit fuck shit fuck shit fuck shit fuck shit!

How'd Dream find me? 

I jumped onto another rooftop trying to get away from the masked man, but my attempt was to no avail. I looked over my shoulder and I saw Dream on my tail.

"Mellohi get back here!" Dream screams, jumping onto the rooftop that I'm on. "Why on earth would I even do that? You're a fucking villain! And to make matters worse YOUR AMERICAN!" I snap, how dense is this american?! 

"Mellohi, all I want to do is talk!" Dream snapped, lowering his mask even more. That smiley face is going to definitely haunt my dreams. "Why would I talk to you?! You are a villain!" I shout, ripping a smoke bomb off the belt that Tubbo made me. "Besides, you villains always try to hurt us heroes!"

Dream stopped in his tracks, like a deer in headlights. "We don't try to hurt you, you heroes always paint us out to be the villains. We don't ever try to hurt you... I-I it's just self defense."

I scoff. "Oh come on, it's not "self-defense", how the hell do you explain choking me nearly to death!" I exclaim.

Dream groaned and pulled on the few strands of hair that were escaping his hood.

"That was self-defense, I thought you were going to hurt me! That's what heroes always do!"

What?

"What do you mean, "That's what heroes always do"?" I ask, Dream finally piqued my interest.

"I mean what I said! Didn't you notice how Achilles was the first to throw a punch? And I only fought back in defense! And 404 left because he was scared that Achilles was going to hurt him as badly as the last time!" Dream explained.

"What do you mean, 'hurt him as badly as the last time'? Achilles has never fought 404!" I laughed, Dream was just being delusional now.

Dream groaned as he looked me dead in the eyes, at least I think so.

"Just because you, or the media, haven't heard of a fight doesn't mean it hasn't happened! Haven't you ever noticed Achilles come in all broken and battered? But there was no explanation, yeah he fought one of us without you knowing!" Dream explained, lowering his mask yet again.

What?

"Dream, I don't know what you're talking about! Achilles is a good man, he wouldn't hurt someone without me knowing." I roll my eyes, "You are just a liar. The heroes are good people, unlike you!"
