I keep finding art XD One of the scenes I immediately saw in my head when I was reading.
âThere, look at us. Friiiends. Chat settle down Iâm not being mean to him anymore.â Dream scowls into the fireplace. He quells his frustration over Technoâs conversation with the voices in his head and tries to guess what his chances of successfully escaping are. The odds are not in his favor. He sighs and settles for wriggling one hand free to reclaim his hot cocoa.
âAre you gonna let me go?â he asks between sips.
âNah. I have an obligation to heal your bruised ego.â Dream gives up. Apparently, he lives here now. This is his life, heâs Technobladeâs teddy bear. Whatever. He goes back to writing.
After a few minutes, Techno puts his chin on his shoulder and sighs.
âMâtired,â he mumbles. ââve been enchantinâ and fixinâ tools all day.â
âThen take a nap,â Dream tells him.
âNaps are for the weak,â he says. Five minutes later heâs fallen asleep. Dream lets out an exasperated laugh. Heâs actually being used as a teddy bear right now. He should probably be less okay with this.
After months of solitude, sometimes the simple joy of company leaves him breathless. Dream takes in Technobladeâs sleeping face and reminds himself to breathe through the pangs of fondness.
