It was rather cold under the bed. No one to talk to also so he was alone. No one else wanted to talk to him, in their eyes he was "too nice". He didn't want to be scary, in fact all he wanted was a friend...or at least someone to talk to. His mind would replay on loop what he wanted to say to the boy above him but how would he react? Would be be scared...Would he try to get rid of him...?
The brunette shook his head and peaked from under the bed. In the darkness of the room only his eyes were visible. A soft greenish brown looked up to see a computer where the loud blonde was working. The blonde was playing games with his friends...and the brunette wanted to play too.
He so desperately wanted to just crawl from under the bed and say hi to the blonde. Tommy, if the brunette could remember clearly, was the blonde's name. He shuffled closer to to front of the bed to take a better look at what Tommy was doing. He was building something...a farm maybe with another friend? No, he remembers that voice. That's Tommy's brother, whose name was not remembered.
"Tommy!! come downstairs, dinner is ready"
Oh! That was Phil. Phil always told Tommy to come down and eat at this time. What are they having tonight?. He sat in the darkness that laid under the bed, waiting and quietly humming and murmuring the lyrics on "We didn't start the fire". After a few he could hear the blonde come back upstairs with a half eaten plate of spaghetti and a can of CocaCola. The sound of the fizzy drink was a crack and a small drink can heard. Tommy went back to what he was doing, but still the other boy sat in the darkness. Awaiting the blonde to sleep. The cold was nipping at his sides since his shirt was loose on his figure. His animalistic features grew cold too. The small horns on his head never failed to remind him that he wasn't really human. In other people's eyes he was seen as a devil, which wasn't true! Yes, he was a monster. But he's was more of a daydream then a nightmare!
The difference between him and a nightmare is that nightmares live in the closet and tight spaces, with black ooz and an unsettling aura. Though the brunette did do the black ooz thing sometimes is only happens when he's anxious. He was cut from his thought when he heard Tommy's voice boom.
"Chat, there's nothing under my bed! I can check if you guys want"
He had to hide
I
He disappeared in thin air but could still see Tommy sticking his hand under the bed and moving shoes around. The blonde got up and went back to his computer telling the chat that there was in fact nothing under his bed, letting Brunette boy appear again.
"I'm ending the stream, goodbye chat"
A sigh could be heard as Tommy get into bed. "I know you're there"! Wait what? H..How did he know?! I guess the jig is up...
Brunette boy crawled from under the bed and sat in a spot where Tommy wasn't looking. When Tommy finally saw him his heart stopped and he froze with fear. A kid his age had crawled from under his bed and he had so many questions.
"H..Hi! I...m Tubbo!"
Tommy didn't say a word. Why was Tubbo under his bed...? So many questions but he didn't want to know the answer. Tubbo read Tommy's face and cleared his throat.
"Hey kid it's...nice to meet ya!
I'm the monster under your bed.
While you're sleeping...I can see ya
Do you maybe wanna be friends?
Down here it gets kinda lonely...
The other demons are mean
Why don't sleep and get cozy...
While I just feast on your dreams!"
Tommy grabbed his phone trying to get a better look at Tubbo, quickly trying to get at least someone else to see the abnormal boy in front of him, but Tubbo spoke up again.
"Dont turn on your flashlight
Dont call for your mom and dad
Don't worry, I'm your best friend!
The best you never had!"
By now Tubbo has stood up and placed a finger to Tommy's lips, Tommy's phone in his other hand that had the flashlight pointed away. Tubbo looked really calm and he backed up after a while, tossing the phone back.
Tommy stuttered, trying to find words that were hiding on the back of his tongue.
"W..how..I- ...Why are you here" Tommy finally blurted out. Tubbo blinked and sighed as if he had answered this question millions of times. "You are my host. I have to feast on your dreams to survive! So I basically...I- uhm wait..........", from Tommy's perspective Tubbo's brain has just shut down. Tubbo sat still for a bit trying to find words but they just weren't forming right. "Oh! I basically wait till you sleep so I can do my job!" Tubbo finally said after his small pause, "and your job is....?"
Now how does He answer this...?
"Uhm.. my job is to..well, it might sound stupid! But it's to make sure you have the correct balance of nightmares and dreams! But I also feast off of them. Hence why you forget some of your dreams!"
Tommy sat there for a second before getting out of bed and sitting on the floor with Tubbo. "I'll take your offer...I'll be your friend Tu-" suddenly Tubbo had disappeared before Tommy's door was opened by his brothers.
Tommy gets scared by the sound of his door fitting the wall behind it as Techno and Phil have a confused look on their faces.
"What's going on in here?" Techno questions looking as if Phil had woke him up and dragged him to Tommy's door. "Oh, I was talking to a friend of mine he right he-..." when Tommy had turned his head the brunette was gone.
"T..Tubbo? Where have you gone?"
"Uh..Tommy? Whose Tubbo?" Phil questioned making Tommy remember that Tubbo kinda...isn't real.
It's nothing! Lets go to bed
