It can be a comedy where the hunters are running screaming and Baablu be like “Dream, you good?”

Dream: yes :D

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.

- They have a lot of bizarre pets, from Steve the polar bear to a rescued boa constrictor then to multiple exotic parrots and a Tibetan Mastiff. They have a built in pet room/section in their mansion for the keeping of these pets.

- Many thought Dream and Techno are not on good terms because they have not made many public appearances together, their son, Cyber vouched otherwise.

- Techno is only ever scared of Bad who has taken care of Dream like a son for many years.

- Despite his scars, Dream single-handedly renewed the concept of beauty and won the yearly vote of most beautiful person in the area.

- Dream doesn’t smile despite being a renowned model. They only have one photo of him smiling and Techno has it kept under lock and key in the deepest part of the safe.

- They fought one time about Cyber’s education. Dream wants Cyber to be homeschooled while Techno thinks it will be good for Cyber to build his own network in public school. They settled for the middle ground by sending Cyber to a private school with Techno’s men being on the watch for any accidents.

- Punz is Dream’s personal guard. Not appointed by Techno but by Dream himself as someone who is very dear to Dream.

- Fundy is a paparazzi trying to get the inside scope about the most elusive and richest couples of the town, not realising fully that they are relatives courtesy to Wilbur. He got caught trying to break into the mansion via the pet room and had to be rescued from the mouth of the boa. He fell in love with Dream at first sight and absolutely heartbroken when he found out that he is basically his in-law.

- Cyber found it hilarious.

- Cyber got kidnapped for ransom before. That time Techno is out of the country for a “business deal” and Dream is the one who got the call. Dream dealt with the kidnappers swiftly and Cyber is reminded not to get on his mom’s bad side.

- Dream is strict about Cyber’s training and education. Techno is less strict but can be scary if angered.

- Techno is usually the one who attends parent-teacher conferences. He approaches it as if he is going into battle. The one time Dream goes, it left a lot of family second guessing their sexual orientation.

Does this mean that techno and dream are going to have their stoick and valka moment?

Absolutely! I can offer you a sneak peek of hypothetical reunion:

.

Techno thought of this scenario many times, rehearsed in his minds the countless words he meticulously picked and arranged.

“I take care of Cyber like you hoped.”

“I am sorry I couldn’t fix us.”

“I know you are always watching over him.”

Yet when the familiar green entered his vision, all preparation fell through. His heart raced. His breath halted. The noises of the surrounding faded into a dull hum.

And suddenly there were so much more. So many things he wished he could say. About the sunny side up he perfected, about the coffee made just the way Dream liked it to be, about the side of the bed that no one lied in, about the warmest seat in the living room, about the little things etched into his life, that without a doubt, he still waited.

Instead, all that came out of Techno was a shaky breath and finally, “you are as beautiful as I remembered you to be.”

Please Consider, cupid!Dream that is very dedicated to his job of matchmaking and the best at hitting all the KPIs, maybe he even gotten the best worker of the year award but he is oblivious to anyone’s love for him.

Like…

Dream: your strategy of showing love by giving matching gifts is really helping with my most recent match! Thank you!

Techno who has given at least a few matching rings/accessories: …you are welcome…

.

Dream: truly, the road to true love is via one stomach!

Farfadox who has been making food for Dream: …

.

Dream: from friends to lovers! The most natural progression!

Imagine Techno trying to get back in touch with Dream, firstly to iron out any misunderstanding, and Dream is not having any of it. His tone is cold, he keeps everything professional. And Techno is lost, terrified because Dream is cutting him off. He is not looking any better. Sometimes techno wondered if the injuries he suffered from the prison ever healed properly.

Now imagine techno realising Dream reside in the prison, maybe from his accidental stalking or from Sam miraculously showing back out traumatised after they put him in the prison. Then he started to worry about Dream’s mental state because that is another level of trauma coping.

I want Punz to know Techno trying desperately to connect to Dream, maybe even invite him to the ‘book club’ and I want Punz to be anything but helpful, out of spite because he had abandoned Dream. There is no need for Techno to come back to potentially hurt Dream.
