Little ramble about dnb family au
Because I am unwell and need to share my thoughts (my hands cannot keep up with my brain)
-Dream being Dream cannot handle attachment but the world (read:XD) decide to say f him and give him the biggest attachment.
-Dream is terrified when he first learnt of the pregnancy. Techno can sense his distress and try to act casual and reassuring about it (to varying degree of success). With lots of promises and favours, Techno managed to stop Dream from getting rid of Cyber and himself in the process.
-They managed somehow for the 9 months, almost forming something akin to a family but when their son, Cyber is born, Dream realised that the thing that he is afraid of, of losing everything he loves come back ten fold because Cyber is small, vulnerable. His limbs cannot even hold himself up and he has to carry the sins of his parents.
-Dream left when Cyber turns two. Two years of overseeing Cyber, trying to keep his distance but it is so difficult when Cyber only calms down in his embrace, when his little face lits up at the sight of Dream, when there is love with no strings attached. At some point, he almost thought everything can work out fine until he heard rumours about old friends and revenge.
-Dream left on the night before Techno gets the chance to propose.
-Techno was devastated. Holding Cyber who wouldn't calm in his arms, staring into the darkness where he thought he could see a glimpse of green in the distance. He didn't give chase because he knew the fear that plagued Dream is something he could neither fight nor cure. Ultimately, he decided to respect Dream's decision.
-When Cyber grew up, his memories of Dream grew blurry but his smell lingered like the old, broken lullaby. One that Dream hummed but forgotten the lyrics; of old world, of a peace that one could only dream about. When he asked about his mama, Techno's face will still yet nothing but good things came out of his mouth. He couldn't understand why someone who loves choose to separate like that.
-When Cyber turns ten, he geared up and left in search of his mama. He found him when he got ambushed by a raid but he didn't recognise him at first. Dream, however, knew it was Cyber at first glance. After all, a mother will always recognise her child.
