Note: In which the reader gets in an argument with dream smp members and the reader flinches (how the smp members react when you flinch). Keep in mind this is written about the characters of the dream smp, not the actual people!
You and dream fought occasionally, however none of your previous fights had been as serious and aggressive with this one
Being a friend of dream, he never wanted to hurt you physically, nor emotionally if the two of you have a good enough bond
At this point in the argument you completely forgot what had sparked it in the first place
Both of you were moody and irritated with the other, so when dream threw his hands into the air dramatically to put some emphasis on his words, he didnāt expect you to react the way you did
You had completely recoiled, throwing your arms over your face to protect yourself and pulling yourself into a tight, defensive ball
Dream completely froze. He didnāt know how to react. I mean, he had seen people flinch before, but no one that was as close to him as you were
He sits in front of you worriedly, deciding not to touch you for the moment
Heās surprisingly calm about it, immediately apologizes for whatever you were arguing about
Heāll definitely question why you flinched when youāre more calmed down
If itās because of any kind of past abuse or trauma, letās just say Dreamās definitely going to have a āfriendly talkā with whoever hurt you
You and Tommy did fight a lot, however most of the time it was just friendly bickering, nothing like this
He had gotten into his own head, and was now taking all of his anger out on you
āThe discs?! The discs were worth more than you ever were!ā The boy yelled in retaliation at you, swinging his arm up and aggressively gesturing it towards the juke box in the corner of the room
To say you didnāt take it well was an understatement
Your arms flew up and over your face, you even stumbled back and tripped the ground in pure terror
Tommy stood in shock for a moment, before kneeling down to your level and pulling you into a tight hug
He said sorry probably 100 times, terrified that you would hate and despise him now
It didnāt take you long to calm down, but when you did, he explained that he didnāt mean a single thing he said to you
Tommy also wanted to know why you flinched, but understood if you didnāt want to share
He was awfully timid and gentle for the rest of the day, completely dropping his big, loud persona in fear of scaring you
Overall, he cares about you a lot and doesnāt want to lose you over one intense argument
Niki and you never argued
She was typically a very gentle, quiet, and overall easy to get along with person
So it was a complete shock when the two of you found yourselves in a screaming match
You had come to realize that being as quiet and nice as Niki came with consequences
She was constantly bottling up her own emotions to make others happy, and she was basically taking out months and months of built up emotions out on you
Niki had made the simple movement of raising her arms in the air to do a couple hand gestures to put emphasis on her words, but it didnāt go to well
You had flinched, quickly covering your face with your forearms and your whole figure became incredibly tense
Niki let out a loud gasp, immediately pulling you into a hug
There is no doubt that she definitely cried
She felt absolutely horrible
Probably ended up baking you cookies or something else to say sorry
She will never forget that, and will always be sure to be careful around you as to not make you flinch
Niki leaves cute little sticky notes she wrote around your house the following weeks reminding you how much she appreciates you and how loved you are
Now, let me make one thing clear
It takes a lot for Tubbo to get riled up, especially if youāre his friend
When he does though, he doesnāt hold back, and says a lot of stuff he will most definitely regret later on
It was incredibly rare for you and Tubbo to argue, and even when you did the two of you were able to resolve it quickly and peacefully, but neither of you had no idea how bad this argument would be
He didnāt make eye contact with you most of the argument, pacing around the room as he made gestures in the air with his hands
It wasnāt until Tubbo actually started raising his voice you actually flinched
Your brain had completely tuned out what he had said, instead recoiling in fear at the sudden change of hostile volume
Tubbo was dead silent. He wasnāt sure how to feel- I mean, of course he was upset
He put a reassuring hand on your shoulder, not sure if youād want him to touch you after you had flinched
Once you had calmed down, the two of you spent some time away from each other to cool down and have some personal time
Luckily the two of you were able to easily make up the next time you saw each other
Ranboo isnāt exactly argument material
In most cases heāll either blindly agree with whatever youāre saying to avoid an argument in the first place, or completely forget what was going on in the middle of an argument
Despite all this, nothing could prepare either of you for this large conflict
Truth be told Ranboo had already forgotten what had started the argument in the first place, but he did know what ever started it got him really riled up
All it took was him teleporting in front of you with an angry tone for you to flinch
You immediately stumbled back, tripping over who knows what and curling yourself into a tight, defensive ball on the floor
The tall man also stumbled back with a shocked gasp, wondering what in the world he should do in that situation
He ended up crouching down in front of you, offering his shoulder to cry on if you needed it
Ranboo would probably sit there for days if he had to, doing whatever he could to make you feel better
He makes sure that he writes this down in his memory book so that it wonāt happen again, because if it did he probably wouldnāt forgive himself
Techno was surprisingly calm during arguments with you
He did his best to keep his cool (as long as you arenāt like, trying to kill him in that moment)
Techno was probably just sitting in a chair reading a book or something when the argument started
He didnāt stop reading the book
You had yelled something about him not caring about you, and then he snapped
The pig hybrid stood up and slammed the book down on the table next to him with a loud snapping sound
You didnāt take too well to the sound, recoiling backwards and covering your face in a defensive manner
Techno looked you up and down with a look of regret
He probably muttered an apology, before leaving his home completely
He came back a couple hours later with your favorite desert, a couple drinks, and a bloodied axe
Itās probably better if you donāt ask whoās blood was on it
He probably spent the rest of the night reading you your favorite book, and keeps in mind in the future not to get too riled up during an argument
Philza, similarly to Techno, usually manages to stay insanely calm during an argument
Especially if youāre close to him
He was more the type of person who would sit and listen to you talk about your problems, not argue about them
Apparently he had a bad day and was easily irritable, as once you started talking about your day the argument started
Phil had thrown his arms in the air dramatically, and upon seeing you flinch, he looked at you in silence for a moment
āHey, itās okay mate. Iām sorry.ā He apologized with a calm tone, and sat down next to you on the floor
Honestly, Phil had dealt with situations like this in the past, but he hadnāt expected it from you
Heās the kind of person who will sit there and hug you for as long as you need
As soon as you calmed down, the two of you probably baked something together to relax
You probably spent the rest of the night eating whatever you made and watching your favorite genre of movies
Thanks for reading! Maybe Iāll make a part two in the future, who knows! š
