The Ball Encounters (1/3)

They only agreed to it to help Techno out really, or at least that's what Sapnap would tell himself. Sapnap had been talked into it by George to help dress Dream up and sneak him into the ball tonight so he could see Techno and Techno could see Dream. However, George still wasn't certain it was a good idea. Dream was a wanted criminal after all, but then again Dream was going in without his mask, and it was his mask that was wanted. George had Dream sat in a chair and sighed. "You're fine with this?"

"Yes," Dream said again.

George looked at Dream, "Even with all of us seeing your face?"

"Since when did you care so much about me?" Dream asked, "You're doing this for Techno, not me."

"Well if me and Sapnap see your face we could just be reporting your real identity."

"You don't know my real name," Dream said, "I'm not from this kingdom. How dumb do you think I am? There's idiots and then there's stealing from a place that knows your face and name. I'm just an idiot."

Sapnap laughed, "We know you're an idiot Dream. Come on, mask off. We've got two more people coming to help so... let's hide your mask before they can realize they are helping a criminal see their older brother."

"Tommy and Tubbo agreed to help you two?" Dream asked.

Sapnap froze, "Techno's used their names?"

"Techno used all of your names," Dream said as he unclasped his mask, "He cares about all of you. I mean, some more than others."

"All of our names?" George asked.

"If you're asking about Wilbur, Fundy, and... Eret I believe then yes. He did mention them all. Not Fundy and Eret so much," Dream said simply before taking his mask off and looking at Sapnap and George. They both paused some. "My face is not that interesting. Don't do that." Sapnap analyzed Dream, for someone who always wore a mask, he was admittedly kind of attractive. Dream had green eyes and freckles, which wasn't what Sapnap expected.

George looked at Sapnap, "Stop checking him out!"

"I'm not!" Sapnap protested, "I'm just observing."

"Sure," George said, "You're also straight and follow orders right?" Sapnap glared at George. "You know I'm right."

Dream looked between the two, "Are you guys dating or something?"

"Don't tell Techno," George said quickly.

"Why?" Dream asked, "I doubt he'd care."

"We're not supposed to have relationships because then we prioritize their safety over Techno's," Sapnap said mockingly, "It's so dumb."

Dream laughed, "Who actually thinks Techno needs you two to protect him?"

"King Philza," George said.

Dream paused, "No comment."

"Let me guess," Sapnap said, "You dislike King Philza?"

"You think I'm fond of the man who actively has a hit out for me?"

Sapnap looked at Dream, "You stole from him."

"Sorry I tried to survive," Dream said with an eye roll. "Not my fault there's so many starving people we're forced to steal to survive. Sounds like he might be a bit of a bad ruler to me. But I suppose as a criminal I must not know about that."

Sapnap paused, "Listen here you bit-"

"Okay," George said, "Topic change to anything but politics maybe? Hm?" Almost as if on cue, Tommy and Tubbo came running into the room. Gently shoving each other and laughing. "Hey you two."
