Chapter Text
"Sam! Please let me out please I'll be so good just please!" Tommy let out a loud sob after. Taking quick glances over at the blonde in the room with him.
Dream looked more intimidating now than he ever had before. His prison jumper was covered in dirt and his hair was a mess. The signature mask was long gone. The limited light from the lava illuminated the scars on his face. The sinister look in the man's eyes made Tommy feel sick.
"Oh give it up. Theseus. He won't open it. It's against the rules" Dream said grinning widely. He sounded so proud and smug.
That name didn't sound right coming from him. Only his family could call him Theseus and Tommy hadn't looked at Dream as family since the disc wars.
Tommy let out a sigh letting himself slowly slump down the cold obsidian wall. He shot a glare at Dream before looking back to the floor. He wasn't going to even talk to the man.
He had only wanted one visit. Closure for everything. For what Dream had done to him during pogtopia and exile.
Silent tears made there way down Tommy's face. One trip to begin his healing and now he was stuck here. It was exile all over again but this time Tommy knew.
Tommy knew the man he once viewed as a brother and the man he once looked up to was long gone. He wouldn't be so easily manipulated now.
Suddenly Tommy's head was violently lifted up. His hair pulled roughly.
"Answer me!" Dream screamed in his face.
Tommy let out a shriek.
"Alright Alright I'm sorry please stop" Tommy pleaded. Dream grinned at the boys willingness to behave as he let go of Tommy's hair.
Tommy wanted to go back. He wanted to be home with Techno and Phil. Nether he'd even want Wilbur there.
The next couple days were pretty uneventful. Tommy couldn't even begin to process the trauma this was adding onto the growing list. Each day Tommy tried his best to get on Dreams nerves. Either by talking loudly or singing to obnoxiously.
Really it was all he could do. The cell was dimly lit because of the lava. Of which Tommy vowed to never be around again when he got out of here. Being trapped in a box hotter than nether for days would do that. Plus Dream had decided days ago to throw the clock into the lava. Tommy had made a game out of it. Dream.. didn't like that.
A shiver ran down his spine at the memory of how angry Dream had gotten with him over it.
Tommy had one other hobby in the nether hole. He would think about where he wanted to be right now.
Some part of him longed to be back at the hotel with Sam Nook. He still had a lot to get done there before the hotel would be operational. Another part of him longed for his brothers and his father. While lately they hadn't been the best to Tommy. They were his family and he had great memories with them. Honestly he regretted some of the situations they had been in.
Tommy regretted betraying his older brother. Techno had helped him so much. He wanted to go back to change what happened. He wanted Techno to come back in from the farm and see Tommy shivering. He was to much of a Big Man to admit he was cold. But he never had to admit to Techno because Techno already knew.
"Here you go Gremlin, don't stain it" Techno would Mutter and throw his cape over Tommy.
"I'm a big man I'm not cold!" Tommy would rebuttal. Either way he would pull the wool lined cape over him and snuggle in.
Tommy regretted what had happened with Wilbur even more. Tommy had too many Therapy sessions with Puffy to keep blaming himself. He knew he wasn't at fault for what Wilbur had done. Tommy did regret it though. Not going to search for someone to help his eldest brother. Instead he would lie to himself that Wilbur was still the same old Will. That his Wilby was still there. But he wasn't He hadn't been for a long time. His Wilby had disappeared during the revolution. Instead of the big brother that kept him out of trouble and ran around with him he had a brother who would sit in a van for hours plotting the next move. The brother who would drive home the point that they would die for the country. Tommy had only been a kid. He shouldn't have had to deal with wars and violence at such a young age.
Phil was a different story. Tommy resented Phil more than he would like to admit. Phil had been absent the past couple of years. After their mother, Kristin, passed away Phil seemed to dissappear with her. Tommy had only been 10. Phil didn't return for a long while either. Eventually Wilbur stepped up and decided to raise him. No task any 17 year old should have to do. Wilbur did though. Tommy would never be able to repay him for that. While Wilbur hadn't done the absolute best job hed done what he could do with the cards dealt to him.
"Tommy?" A new voice called and it echoed through the cell. It was Sam!
"Sam! Thank prime. Sam let me out now" Tommy yelled in excitement.
"Uhh. About that Tommy I haven't found the threat yet so I'm..." Sam's voice breaks "I'm afraid your time in there is going to be a bit extended" Sam finished sounding stressed and tired.
Tommy's heart began hammering in his chest. Dreams grin gets even wider. "Sam no please. Sam i-i can't Sam. Sam please!" Tommy yells a sob formed in his throat as tears quickly make their way down his face.
"I-im sorry Tommy" Sam said as the intercom clicked off.
Tommy lets the sob escape his throat. He can't do this. He wants out. He wants Will.
An ear shattering scream pierced the room as Tommy collapsed on his knees.
Dream rushed to cover his ears. "Tommy shut up!" He yelled angrily.
Tommy doesn't even hear him over the sobbing. His heart beat a mile a minute. He wanted Techno.He wanted Techno to ruffle his hair and tease him.
"Tommy shut the fuck up!" Dream growled out. He grabbed the younger boys blonde curls and roughly pulled him up.
The action made Tommy sob more as a headache quickly overtook him. Dream quickly shoved Tommy into the corner. Tommy's head bounced off the cool and rough obsidian walls with a sickening crack. Tommy looked up at Dream fear radiating off of the smaller boy. His vision was swimming.
"I said shut up. I'll make you shut up!" Dream whispered maniacally an evil glint in his eyes. In just a moment he was on top of Tommy with his fists ready to hit him.
"Wilby!" Tommy screamed in fear as he tried
to get away from Dream. .
As Dreams fist collided with Tommy's face suddenly he's back in lmanberg.
Instead of Dream being over top of him it's Wilbur.
"Tommy we have to fight! This is our home. You have to be willing to put your life on the line. Are you ready for that?" Wilbur had shouted. He was so excited.
Tommy remembers he was excited too at the time but now...now Wilbur looks like he's a madman. Asking that of a child.
Tommy felt cold. The same cold that he felt in the ravines of pogtopia. Where Wilbur would shove him off the stairs and laugh it off.
All of a sudden Tommy felt like he was in the small, dark, and damp space. His bedroom. His breath caught in his throat as he crawled over to the wooden covered entrance. His fists banged on the wood.
"Wilbur please let me out! I swear I don't know anything!"Tommy pleaded with the man who stood just outside messing with the hammer he used to trap the boy inside.
"No you know Theseus you just have to tell me" Wilbur had said calmly but Tommy could sense the anger in his words.
Tommy looked up at Dream. The room was spinning and it was hard to see anything with the blood in his eyes. Dream grabbed Tommy by the head.
"Any last words?" Dream asked grinning evilly at him.
"Fuck you green bitch" Tommy coughed out weakly. Dreams expression switched to one of unbridled rage.
"Say hi to Wilbur for me" Dream yelled before he slammed the boys head back into the wall. With a final loud crack noise it was over.
