Behind the Mask (Dream SMP fanfiction)

Chapter 2 - waking up

Wilbur sighed as he went to grab medical supplies to treat Dream's wound. He returned to find the other drenched in sweat, taking short and quick breaths. What went unnoticed to wilbur were small tears at the corners of Dream's eyes. Wilbur pulled up Dream's shirt and inspected the injury closely, and believe me, it was nasty, it almost made Wilbur throw up, but he couldn't get distracted by his own body going against him in this situation.

He went to get a bowl of water and a cloth so he could somewhat clean the wound before doing anything else. He grabbed the no wet cloth and started gently cleaning the wound. After vleaning all the blood and dirt Wilbur could get a better look at the injury. It seemed to be a slash wound, but who could possibly attack someone in the time of peace? No one from L'Manburg was stupid enough to do that, even Tommy. And there was no one else that could be against Dream, unless Eret decided to betray someone yet again, but that would make no sense as then the traitor would have nowhere to go or hide.

Wilbur sighed as he began stiching the wound, he wasn't the best at it but he did a pretty decent job, it's not like there are any medics anyway. Wilbur then started bandaging the wound just in case something were to happen to it that would open it again.

Wilbur was satisfied with his amazing work at saving Dream, even thou he hated to admit it. But then the thought of explaining everything to everyone else found it's way into Wilbur's peaceful and proud mind. That was the problem, he didn't know what happened to the blonde. He decided he will leave questioning Dream for when he wakes up. Wilbur went to grab a pen and a paper and wrote a note and put it on the doors to the medical building.

-I am so fucking tired...- Wilbur said to himself as he went to where the 'hotel' is. Believe it or not they built a so called hotel just in case one of them were to stay in L'Manburg and couldn't exactly leave or was too tired to go home, so thete he was sleeping on one of the comfy beds, his mind free from any thoughts, just filled with dreams.

=====

Wilbur woke up early despite being up so late and walked to the main square of L'Manburg, where their amazing van once stood, he sighed at the memories. He was relaxed after yesterday's events, but nothing good can last forever. He heard Tommy running up to him, yelling his name.

-WILBUR!!!-Tommy yelled once again once probably not noticing how close to Wilbur he was already, he stopped righg in front of the older, he was panting, well, no wonder, he was running after all.
-Wilbur, what the fuck?! Why is Dream in the medical ward?!-he screamed. Wilbur will go deaf with this child soon.
-I found him injured last night while i was walking through the wilderness, that wss the only logical thing to do, unless you want us all get accused of murdering him even thou we don't know anything that happened to him that would make him be in this state!- Wilbur said, rather calmly.

Soon the whole L'Manburg had arrived, Nikki, Fundy, Tubbo, Thunder. I guess he had explaining to do, right? He walked up the podium they had put in the middle of the clearing, between all buildings and spoke
-so everyone, as you might have noticed we have a little guest in the medical ward. Our job for now is to make sure Dream recovers. Nobody except me is to come into medical wardz unless you're injured that's a whole different story. The reason behind this is that I don't want Dream to be bother by all of you, and I'm mostly talking about you, Tommy. Meeting dismissed- Wilbur said, walking off the podium, it would be good to check up on Dream.

Wilbur walked to the medical ward and saw Dream still unconcious, he couldn't blame the guy, the wound was pretty deep after all and he seemed exhausted when he fought. Wilbur pulled up a chair next to the bed the enemy leader was laying on and sat on it, watching the other male.

=====

After few hours Dream began waking up, he seemed disoriented and confused. He slightly moved his head to look aroud, he was in an unknown place. He tried to move but sharp pain shot up from his side and he hissed in pain, deciding that it was better to not try and move. Instead he tried focusing on his surrounding and thinking of possibilities of where he was.

After some thinking he heard a door open and he wuickly looked in that direction. He was shocked to see Wilbur holding a glass of water and a bowl of mushroom soup, the taller male put the things on the table that was beside the bed Dream was laying on.

-I'm glad you're awake, as crazy as it sounds. Do you want something to eat or drink? I have soup and water for you- Wilbur said. Dream was confused as to why a person he tried to take everything he cared about from was showing him kindness.
-I... I'd like water... f-for now...- he replied weakly, his throat dry and burning as he spoke.

Wilbur nodded and helped Dream sit up, the blonde hissed in pain as he was being moved, but it was worth for that water. The taller handed Dream the glass of water and helped him hold it in his weak shaking hands as he drank. His throat no longer dry and sore, he wad grateful

-mind explaining what happened?-Wilbur asked
