3rd Person POV:

Techno shuffled in bed frequently as he was trying to sleep on a cloud of thoughts. This cloud isn't white, puffy and comfortable, it's dark and it's brewing with lighting that doesn't really dare to strike.

Kristin's arriving tonight, he's used to the routine of what happens in these nights. She steps inside at around 5 am, Phil doesn't sleep the whole night until she returns because he wakes Wilbur up since he's always the first one eager to see her. Tommy's harder to wake up so they just leave him be and she reunites with him in the morning, and Techno? He can never have a certain habit in these nights. Sometimes he has waited on the steps at the huge entrance door, not because he was eager but he was just restless on getting in his greet and never speak openly with momza again. Sometimes he pretended he was asleep, since nobody has the guts to try and wake him up except for Phil. And sometimes he literally just stands by as he watches Wilbur talk with Kristin in the kitchen late at night, she always attempts on starting up some conversation with Tech aswell but he either replies shortly and avoids it or Wilbur accidentally talks over and she loses the spark to ask twice.

Techno loved his step parents, he really did. He appreciated all of their efforts in raising him and trying to give him the common comfort that any child should have, which he didn't for so unbearably long. It's just that there's so much to say and for him it's easier to just throw that messy clump of words into a trashcan. He sometimes wished he didn't have to express himself with words.

He wondered what must be Dream doing right now, and how could he even meet up if the crows decide to be stealthily noisy. What if he's awake right now? Perhaps perturbed by another nightmare? Or he's just fast asleep. He thought if Dream would he awake he wouldn't mind a late night "break in" right?

What would Techno give to simply know that the person on his mind is getting a comfortable sleep.

He was curious, he wanted to know Dream more than anyone else. Not like he's ever gonna bring himself to ask of such thing, but it was nice to think about it.

What must be Dream actually be doing right now?

He was awake for some reason, and just eating ice cream in the kitchen at 3 and a half am. Techno's guess was somewhat true, he woke up abruptly by another nightmare and needed some comfort but.. well nobody woke up along with him. So he's just all alone, caged in a kitchen with some pistachio ice cream(nono i swear its good) and his thoughts. Though it was hard to think when his focus was on eating rather than thinking.

He was recalling the nightmare which he had and it was like he was putting his brain in a bowl, mixing it up like some jelly and consuming it. Dream took a suspicious look down at the ice cream, he was half awake so he didn't really need such a surprise like the one he was imagining. Not like he didn't get forced to eat organs in his nightmares before, i'd be nothing new.

He wondered what makes these nightmares terrifying, and tear inducing. He always wakes up so abruptly, all drenched in sweat and on the verge of tears but... is it just overreacting? Dream wasn't scared of blood, of guts, he does fear death but in a dire and unfair situation he'd rather accept it. Maybe it was the meaning behind them that made him so nervous, he believed that dreams having a hidden significance is just a stupid myth. But after so long he starts to get very paranoid on imagining how these are linked to real life.
