Dream Gets Caught (sort of...)

It shouldn't have been an issue, Dream had been sneaking up to Techno's room just about every night for over two months now. There hadn't been any problems, and Techno was actually sleeping better knowing that Dream was there and safe. None of that factored in the fact that Dream was a criminal, a wanted criminal, who was sneaking into the palace of the kingdom he was wanted in.

Techno was in his room, and when Dream didn't show up shortly after dark Techno didn't worry. More than once Dream hadn't shown up on certain nights, either because the guard amount was up more than usual or Dream had something to do that he wouldn't ever tell Techno. Techno knew that whenever Dream refused to give him a reason it was because Dream was stealing, Techno didn't bother stopping Dream as Dream refused to take any help Techno tried to give.

Since Dream didn't show, Techno just carefully put up his crown and cape like every night. Usually George would be outside his room still, about to walk away, that night however, George had to rush off as the Guards needed his and Sapnap's help with something. Techno didn't get the chance to ask. Techno sat down on his bed, his window open like every night, simply because he was too used to having it open at night to close it now. Techno just silently thought, listening for something. He heard guards shouting outside, no. He heard HIS guards shouting outside.

Techno quickly stood up and went to walk to the window when a certain masked man rolled through the window, slightly out of breath, and clearly worn out. Techno was too stunned to speak at first, "Dream... Are those guards looking for you?"

"Yep," Dream said simply.

"And you thought it would be smart to scale the wall of the castle, into the heir's room, while the guards were right behind you?"

Dream smiled softly at Techno, "They've gotta go through the castle. I've got time. Besides I wanted to say hi to my pretty boy." Techno just stared in annoyance at the boy, ignoring the nickname.That's when Techno noticed the blood on Dream's pant leg.

Techno looked at Dream, "You're bleeding?"

"Oh yeah that!" Dream said, "I got sliced in the leg by a guard..." Techno glared at Dream before kneeling down to move the leg of his pants up to look at the injury. "Techno if you wanted me to strip-" Apparently, George and Sapnap had decided just then was the right time to finally show up.

Techno turned to look at them, "Bandages. Now."

George paused, "Techno is that-"

"A wanted criminal? Yep, yeah. Medical supplies first, lecture second. Go now. Quickly." Sapnap and George were both too stunned to protest and quickly went to get medical supplies for Techno to use. George put the supplies by Techno and stepped back some. Techno began to take care of the injury on Dream's leg.

"Ow fuck-"

"Not the time Dream," Techno said simply, "You two can lecture me now. I'll respond in a moment."

Sapnap paused for a moment, "We're turning him in."

"No you aren't," Techno said simply.

"Techno we don't have a choice."

Techno sighed, trying to think about how to care for Dream's leg and how to get George and Sapnap to agree at the same time. "Listen, you two, I am ordering you not to. When you leave this room this will not have happened."

"He's a criminal."

"He's my friend," Techno replied.

Sapnap thought for a moment, "How long... how long has he been sneaking in here?"

"Over two months now," Techno said, sighing as he finished wrapping Dream's leg but glaring at Dream when Dream went to move. Techno turned to face his guards and friends. "I know I'm asking a lot, especially since capturing him is an order from Philza and not me and you two have to listen to him first but... You two cannot tell anyone about this. Or say you've seen him."

"People saw him climb into here through Techno!" George said, "They'll figure it out."

Techno smiled, "No they won't. When Dream climbed in here I reached for my sword and he ran. He made it out of the back door of the castle while you guys were making sure I was fine."

Sapnap paused, "That's an elaborate lie that sounds preplanned."

"I figured I could only hide he was here for so long since he's a bit loud."

"Hey-" Dream went to protest but Sapnap reached for his sword and Dream decided not to protest the statement from Techno. "Thanks for the leg wound by the way."

Sapnap smirked, "You're welcome."

"I'm not going to ask you two to like him or get along," Techno said, "But I swear he isn't here to hurt any of us. Mostly just to hide overnight and talk with me. It's nice to have an unbiased opinion about some things." George went to protest that. "You two are ordered to have my safety in mind and to prioritize me. That's biased."

George sighed, "Yeah I suppose you're right about that."

"He's always gone by morning and only got caught tonight because he was an idiot!" Techno said shooting a small glare at Dream.

"So," Sapnap said, "I try to do my job and once again, you're telling me not to. First it was Tommy stealing from you and now it's you harboring a criminal? Both times I should report them and once again you're telling me not to? Why do I even bother?"

"You don't Sapnap," Techno said.

"Touché," Sapnap said simply.

Techno sighed, "Just... turn around. Run downstairs with fake panic and say I told you guys he ran out of my room. One of you needs to suggest that he ran out through the door in the kitchen and make sure everyone follows you and no one chooses to double check on me. Okay?"

"If he's not gone by the time we wake you up, we're taking him in, but fine, agreed," George said.

"And I'll agree to that term. See, negotiations."

"Less negotiations and more us not being allowed to really say no to you," Sapnap said, "But fine. If I see him in here again though, he'll lose the leg, not just a cut."

Techno sighed some, "Okay now go get guards to follow you outside. Go." Sapnap and George both sighed but rushed out, George closing Techno's door loudly so it sounds like they are rushed and panicked. Techno then turned to look at Dream again, "Now... Want to explain why you were being stupid?"

"I'm not sure," Dream said, "Just... had to run away from them. My leg hurt, so I was like 'I need to rest. I could climb somewhere.' And your room was just there so... I climbed up here."

"You're so lucky I can talk George and Sapnap into anything," Techno said, "Do you realize how close you were to getting executed Dream!?"

"I realize that now."

"Promise me you won't do something dumb like that again?"

"I won't promise, but I will try to avoid doing something like this again."

Techno sighed some, "Fine. That's acceptable." D

ream smirked, "So do you forgive me for being stupid?"

"Dream I'm not going to forgive you for something that I know you'll do again in a matter of seconds, I wasn't really that mad," Techno explained.

Dream paused, "You seemed a bit mad Pretty Boy."

Techno's face flushed, "Okay I was slightly mad."

"Slightly?" Dream asked, "Techno you seemed ready to like... throw me out the window or something. That seems like a bit more than 'slightly' mad."

"Fine you win," Techno said, "I was pissed because I didn't think you were that stupid to climb into my room when there are guards chasing you and got close enough to injure you."

Dream sighed some, "I'm sorry. I just... really wanted to see you as well Tech. I missed my Pretty boy. I didn't come by last night so I figured I just had to tonight."

"Whatever nerd," Techno said as he rolled his eyes, unamused with Dream's actions. The two continued to talk and just be themselves for most of the night. Techno was glad that Sapnap and George did give in, as Techno was happy to have Dream around.
