Chapter 7

Techno's POV:
For a while were strolling town, sampling new things and discovering areas I've never even knew before. However, upon pulling to the cookie stand, we were suddenly stopped. As in Dream somehow struck up a conversation with the lady in charge.

Quite frankly, didn't see what was too special about her. She was average in height, had normal brown-hair, maybe a little younger than myself. Her complexion was fair, yet nothing extraordinary.

However, Dream seemed to spin endless amounts of flattery. He was all charming smiles and compliments. And the girl? Eating it right up. Clearly interested in him. It was as if I weren't standing 2 feet away.

My socially anxious part of told me to stay quiet and wait. However, the longer I waited, the less my anxiety mattered.

"Dream, hurry up and buy somethin'. She doesn't have all day." I interrupted, clearly annoyed. I tried to send a signal of my impatience, but it flew right over his head.

The girl began blushing in embarrassment, laughing a little.

"It's fine! I enjoy talking to your friend..." she murmured shyly, pushing brown locks behind her ear. Something inside me churned.

"Oh, we're not friends, he's my fiance," I replied, voice sickly sweet. I didn't even realize how petty it sounded, until I spoke aloud. Dream seemed to tense beside me, but said nothing nonetheless.

The lady, however, widened her eyes. She began babbling an apology, clearly flustered. I cut her off by tossing 3 silver coins over.

"We'll take the pink and green one. Keep the change."

Immediately, she handed the cookies over to me, head held low. I smirked at that, relishing in my mini victory. Until I felt a sudden tug at my hand, almost aggressive.

Dream thanked the girl, before yanking me away from the stand. A couple people stared in our direction.

"Dream! People are-"

"Shut up, Techno." He gritted. The grip on me seemed to tighten, hurting a little.

Eventually, we pulled to a little clearing with a grand overview of town. The setting sun casted a golden sheen overhead. Finally releasing my hand, Dream turned to me.

"You can't take one second without attention, huh?" he snapped, "What the fuck was that?!"

I rolled my eyes, glaring back.

"I just couldn't stand watching how shameless you are. That's all."

I spat the last part out like it was toxic. Shoving the mask over, I began eating the cookie. It was soft, seeming to melt in my mouth upon contact. Not Bad.

As I continued eating, Dream rolled his eyes, crossing his arms condescendingly, "And so you decided to humiliate a random lady? Some ruler you are."

I think the last part was supposed to offend me. Yet, the mention of the girl is what ticked me off.

"She didn't deserve that, Techno. It was ru-"

"What? Do you like her or somethin'?!" I snapped, almost shouting. I was shocked by my own aggressiveness. Normally, my composure was uncrackable. However, I felt genuinely upset right now.

"What?! No! I'm just saying you can't keep being an asshole to everyone!" he responded, raising his voice as well. Oh.

"And why would I like her? We're literally engaged, idiot! It's called being nice!" He continued, still rambling.

I turned away begrudgingly, giving a little 'tsk.' Out of pettiness, I began eating his cookie as well.

"What are you- stop! That's mine!"
