Betrayal of A Friend [Dream SMP] [discontinued :(]

Manipulating him

It was officially the 8th day of exile(Minecraft day, not the literal in real life day). Tommy was alone. Well, he has Dream on his exiled land or as he would like to call it Logstedshire. It was supposed to be called Clown Circus but Tommy wasn't up with the idea so Wilbur called it Logstedshire because it was surrounded with logs around the light blue house or the campsite. In the end, Tommy didn't use the campsite as he built a tent of his own.

It was late, the child couldn't sleep as his mind keeps on replaying that stupid incident that happened in the nether. Something took over his mind, and he doesn't know what that is.

Flashback to the nether ( not pog bcs sad)

"I'll be back." Ghostbur said to Tommy as he steps into the portal, followed by Dream saying "Actually, I wanna see the Christmas tree." as he steps into the obsidian portal too, same with Sapnap. "I wanna- yeah. Tommy, stay here."

"We'll be back in a minute" Dream promised Tommy as Tommy looked at them with a pained smile. He just really wants to go back, is that so hard to ask for. He retracts his steps towards the portal as he looks behind towards the bridge, he trudges along the bridge a bit close to falling into lava. His eyes were captivated by the light of the lava as he perches down the bridge to see it a little more closely. He can still hear the faint voices of Ghostbur, Dream, and Sapnap as they talk about the Christmas tree beside the Community House.

'Jump' his head was playing over that word. He wanted to, he wanted to jump off to the pool of lava but Dream came back in a mere second before he can jump to his demise. Dream shoved Tommy onto the middle of the bridge so he wouldn't fall into the lava pool. But Tommy goes back inching closer towards the edge of the bridge to take another look at the lava pool.

So then Dream shove him to the middle of the bridge away from the edge to keep Tommy alive and "save". He places some dirt underneath his feet so he wouldn't accidentally unshift and fall. "It's not your time to die, Tommy" Dream reminded him. "It's never my time to die" Tommy retorts to Dream's words.

He knows that. Everyone knows that.

End of flashback from the nether (oh thank goodness)

Tommy abruptly woke up from the hell memory that would forever be stuck in his mind for some time, sweats trickled down his face. He wipes the sweats off of his face with his hand, obviously. It looks like he fell asleep. He looked at a clock, which he doesn't have yet but, he will soon so he stepped out of the tent to see that the sky is still dark and Dream in front of the tent a bit far from where Tommy stood. 

"Hello, Tommy." his voice was low and raspy as if he just woke up from a slumber and hop onto Minecraft to check on Tommy only. It felt nice, Tommy guesses though he doesn't know why but it just felt nice.

"Hello, Dream." he hesitated. Usually, he doesn't hesitate when talking to Dream, but it's all different because Dream was the one who told Tubbo to exile him after all.

The comfortable silence lingered around them and both of them didn't try to break the silence. Instead, they just run around doing nothing in Minecraft. Debating on whether he should stream or not, Tommy decided that he won't. It was too late already to even start the stream since Dream had already joined.

"So. How is exile?" Dream finally broke the silence between them and Tommy wasn't up for any conversation with people right now.

"Fine." the short reply was enough for Dream to notice that Tommy wants to be alone. So he was ready to leave him alone to his antics.

"I have an important business to do. I'll see you tomorrow Tommy." that left Tommy wondering on what Dream's important business is. But he didn't think too much about it so he said his goodbyes too.

After Dream left, Tommy lets out a big sigh that he had kept inside. It was unusually hard for Tommy to keep his focus today because he would usually throw insult towards Dream, but now he's quiet and reserved which for Tommy is it weird. And the past 2 days he's always listening to what Dream said to him, following like a lost puppy that needs comforting and help.

Is he being manipulated? No, that's a stupid question. In what world would Dream manipulate him. He dismissed that thought of train and logs off the server for tomorrow. He doesn't know what tomorrow will bring him, he just hopes that it would be a good thing.
