Raid || DreamWasTaken

Chapter 2

DreamWasTaken and DreamWasTaken2 followed you.

Um...okay. How do I go about this? Do I freak out or act normal and follow him back? Probably the second option. Don't get the wrong idea of me, I'm not some crazed stan or anything. Dream's just somebody I really look up too. He inspires me to do better, you know?

I followed both of his accounts back and wondered if I should message him thanking for the donos. Knowing me and my pride, I wasn't going to. Although it would be the kind thing to do, I think I'll just leave it be. 

I set my phone back down and went into the kitchen, and looked through my options again. I wasn't hungry, but I knew I had to eat something. I settled for an apple and went outside onto my porch. I lived in a smallish apartment, but it was nice. I looked down into the parking lot as people were coming home from work, and kids were riding around on bikes. It made me smile, knowing that they had that escape. In that moment, they were happy.

I finished my apple and walked back into my apartment, throwing the core away in the trashcan and heading back upstairs. I once again went on my phone to see if anything new happened. I checked my notifications, nothing out of the usual. I checked my dm's ... nothing. I sighed and just went on tiktok for a few hours, before getting sleepy and deciding to go to bed.

I woke up to the sound of a bird flying into my window. Like seriously? It had to be MY window? Dumbass birds man. 

I sat up in bed for a moment before I realized. I didn't have a nightmare last night. I didn't dream of..him.. or the event that took place. I smiled to myself before getting up and going into the bathroom. I stared at myself in the mirror and took a good look at myself. I let myself go honestly. I don't remember the last time I brushed my hair, did my skincare routine, hell it's even been a few too many days since I showered.

Deciding that I wasn't going to let this go on any longer, I went back into my room and grabbed my towel, clothes, and walked back in. I put my clothes on the counter and also grabbed my toothbrush, hairbrush, and face wash and put them near my shower.
I turned the water as hot as it could go, embracing the warm feeling of the water trickling down my skin. The warmth felt so familiar, something I haven't felt in so long but craved so much. God am I touch starved. I laughed to myself and proceeded to go on with my shower.


About an hour and a half later I finished, and I even decided to shave my legs. Shocker, I know. I stepped out of the shower in my towel and got my hair dryer out. I hated leaving my hair wet, it always bothered me for some reason. I fought with my hair until I got it how I wanted it, and got dressed. It wasn't anything fancy, some gray sweatpants and a white shirt, the comfiest outfit imaginable. I go sit on my chair and scroll on my phone for a bit. I go onto twitter, only to see something that took me off guard. I had a message request from Dream. Well, I honestly wasn't expecting him to reach out first.

I accepted the request and read over his message.
"not gonna lie, I was waiting for you to text me but I guess thats clear it's not happening, huh?"

I did a little dance with my thumbs as I pondered as to how I was going to reply.

"Who is this?"

I laughed as I immediately saw the 3 bubbles pop up.
"you think you're funny?"
"Sort of, yeah."
"Geez, I raided AND donated to you, and you can't even be bothered to know my name? </3"
"Hm, I don't think I recall, sorry!"

He then sent a clip of my stream, and of course it's the bit where I freaked out about the donation. I mentally slapped myself and figured out a way to reply. Should I just leave him on seen? That'd be kinda funny. 

"where'd you go?"
Well, I guess not.

"Sorry, I was tryna figure out who the chick in the clip is. She sounds lame."
"she is honestly, one of the worst streamers."
Ow...dick.
"she is , yeah."

I set my phone down and decided to stream again. The other day went pretty well, so hopefully today goes pretty good too. As usual, I triple check that my facecam is off, and set everything up. I start the stream and wait for the notification to go out, assuming anyone has them on for me. Shortly after, people started flowing in. Chat was immediately spammed with loads of "Hi!" "You're back!!" "How are you!"
I smiled and greeted everyone, asking how they were and how their day was going. Soon after 10 minutes, I had almost 3k viewers. That was still so insane to me.

"Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing good. I'm going to be doing duels! So send me requests."
I was running around in the lobby when I see my chat start to spazz. 

"DREAM!"
"DREAMS HERE AGAIN!"
"WHYS DREAM HERE JSHDJSBSJDHFS"
I scrolled through chat, trying to see if he said something, and to my surprise he did.

Add me on discord.

"Nice going dumbass, how am I gonna add you without knowing your user?" I said.
Not even less than a second later I get a dm with his tag. He was fast.. creepily fast. I copied his name and added him, to which he added me back, and then the thing I hoped he wouldn't do most. He called me. I hesitated on whether or not I should pick up, before finally pressing the answer button. 

"Who is this? And how did you get my tag? Fucking weirdo" I said as I held back my smile.
"I'm your #1 fan ohemgee pls marry me"
"you're such an idiot, you know that?"
"hey man , you added me"
"Yup, and man am I regretting it dream."
I look over to my chat, forgetting that I was streaming, to see it filled with 

"Deffo Flerting"
"Deffo Flerting"
"Deffo Flerting"
"Deffo Flerting"

I laughed and tried to calm down my chat.
"Guys, we are not flirting, I would never. Gross"
"bro.. you know I'm still on the call right?"
"What about it?"
"ok."
-User has disconnected-
I laughed even louder at him leaving the call, and proceeded to continue my stream normally.

After what seemed like 300 duels, (me winning almost all of them), I thanked everybody for coming and ended the stream. I sat back and stretched in my chair. And not those like puny stretches, i'm talking about the ones that make you feel like you're having a seizure, you know? The best kind.

I hopped on twitter to see if anything new was happening, when I saw Dream's name pop up at the top.
"You hurt my feelings."
"oh, did I?"
"you did. I see why your name is Demon now."
"ah, nice guess but it's not because i'm a bitch. Nice try though."
"Why is your name demon anyways?"
"My real name's Lilith. I thought it seemed fitting."
"Lilith? thats cool as fuck. Nice name, Lilith :)"
"Thank you...dream?"
"clay. cmon you don't know my name?"
"no, I couldn't care less to know your name. Clay."
"ok bro chill you're hurting my feelings"
"aw, sucks ;)"

I closed out of twitter and put my phone to charge. Streaming always gets me so tired so I decided to get ready for bed. As i'm crawling into my covers, I get a notification from twitter. I open it and see Clay tweeted something out.

@Dream

I laughed as I liked the tweet, and clicked to reply.

I smiled and shut my phone off, and drifted away to sleep.
