"Guys, guys everything's all fuzzy and I see sprinkles. Woooooo whos birthday is ittttt?" Is the last thing I remember before greeting the dark.

Dream's POV:

"Shit-" I whispered as I steadied Tommy on the couch, making sure George can still get to his wounded side.

"What caused it do you think?" I turned to look at Sapnap, still holding onto Tommy so he's not in Georges way.

"No-""It probably happened during those explosion's a few days ago" I cut Sap off only because he wasn't close enough to see Tommy almost directly in front of the bomb, even if I did push him away it wasn't far enough.

"G-Guys look" Sap and I turn to look at him, and we both gasp when we see what he's talking about.

Suddenly I see Sapnap turn around and rush into his room. I just stand there jaw dropped looking at all of the scars and what looks like un-healed wounds.

"Why the hell didn't he tell us?! I mean seriously! Does he not fucking trust us or something?!" I threw my hands in the air and groan in frustration.

"He probably didn't tell us because he didn't want to worry us Dream. I mean the poor kid was stolen off the side of the road for fucks sake!" I flinched back at the mention of how we got him. Suddenly we hear a small gasp of what sounded like a mix of shock, pain, worry, and fear. Me and George carefully walked over to Tommy and noticed he was having a nightmare.

"Nonono don't hurt me, don't hurt them either. Nono run tubs, run ran." We hear him mumble after trying wake him up several times, the mumbling just getting worse after each try

Me and George look at each other and nod, knowing by what it sounds like he's having a nightmare about loosing his friends. We both signaled it was going to be a hard awakening, so I was supposed to stay with Tommy while he went and got some blankets, pillows, and started making hot chocolate, all while I was trying to wake him up.

"Hey bud you gotta get up c'mon" I gently shake his shoulder trying to wake him up, succeeding the first time as I silently cheer in my head.

"Mghm what time is it..?" He asks while sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

"I don't know but I do know you were out for quite a bit" I replied while standing up holding my hand out to him so I can help him up to go see what George is doing.

He grabs my hand and I haul his ass off the couch. "Goddamn dude I know your strong but jeez that was defiantly not necessary" He scoffs and sits at the bar watching George fill his cup with coffee.

"Morning Toms, did you sleep well?" George asks as he turns around and leans against the counter, hands crossed over his chest.

"Mhm I did except the fact the explosion wound kept stinging and rubbing on the wrap wrong" We both look at him in surprise and shock. He looks at us and rolls his eyes, taking a sip of Georges cup.

"What the fuck is that Gogs? Or did dream put salt in the coffee pot again?" Ah so now he's avoiding this conversation. I give the side-eye to George and he understands immediately and walks over to him and pushes on the wound.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR YOU PRICK?!?!?" He yelled as George you calmly walked back over and took a sip of his coffee.

George shrugs. "I just needed to make sure it was wrapped okay, which is it by the way" I silently thank him and he gets the gesture, giving me a small smile in return.

"Quit giving each other that look its weird" We hear tommy say and look over at him.

"What weird look? George do you hear this shit?" I laugh pointedly giving him the hint

"Yeah Toms what weird look?" He acts clueless, this is perfect!

"I-Nevermind then just leave me alone I'm going to bed" He says with attitude waving over his shoulder with a quiet night.

"He knows somethings up dream why can't we just tell him what it is?!" He questions me loudly, but not loud enough to wake Tommy.

"Because I know if we tell him he'll either run or refuse it! you know what the kids past was like correct?" I say and ask strictly

"No I fucking don't actually! I guess that's what happens when you kidnap literal children!" I look away and hear him scoff before he walks into his room and slams the door shut.

"This is all on you man. If you don't want to loose the kids trust you gotta tell him." Sap looks at me with disappointment and walks into his room.

"Oh what do I do? I can't tell him or he'll run and escape, but if I don't tell him he'll loose trust in us and I can't afford that to happen." I mutter to myself as I go into my room
