Chapter Text
Esempii Orphanage
One of the biggest,probably most ancient building in the city. Though practically in ruins,the inside is just as lively as ever. Kids roam the halls,bounding about in search of something to cure their boredom. Some lost their parents,others abandoned,no matter what it was,they all ended up here. The place was crowded,that's for sure. Didn't help that they were almost always low on staff. Attention they all so craved was impossible to get. It really wasn't the staff's fault,it was hard to keep track when so many kids came in every months but bearly any left.
Kids were constantly sent to foster homes in a desperate attempt of adoption or just to get rid of some for a while. Still,many came back,either in bad shape or just sad. Most kids grew out of the system,the other few getting adopted. It was a mess,honestly. Especially with the amount of drama that went on within those cracked stone walls. Yes drama, involving these two particularly.
Dream,once know as the golden boy of the orphanage. He was fast,smart and strong too. Oh but when you are at the top...people will want to drag you down. Rumors and lies spread like wild fire and Dream's reputation crumbled with him. People either fear him or hate him,sometimes both. He spends his time with the few who still trust him,praying they will not leave(again).
Oh And Tommy,young and with a thirst for chaos,he is quite the troublemaker. Known for his constant pranks and obnoxious behavior,he is yet to be adopted. Bounced from house to house,he is never kept for long. Still,he is sent again bearly weeks after. This is a problem,since he doesn't even want to be adopted. The orphanage is his home for that is where his family lies.
Yea...that's the thing
Dream and Tommy are brothers
Oh and werewolves too,I should probably mention that.
In a little room,tucked away in the furthest corner of the ruined building,sat two young boys. They sat silently as one braided the others hair,feeling no need to talk. The atmosphere was calm yet held a somber feel to it. A knock at the door shattered it however.
"Not gonna answer it Tommy?"
The older spoke,breaking the silence. Tommy huffed in annoyance,rolling his eyes. He'd pull at the others hair,effectively earning an "Ouch" from him.
"Tommy?you in there?it's time to go!"
A voice calls out from the other side of the door. They knock again and again,annoying Tommy even further. Finally,Tommy gets up and stomps over to the door. He slams the door open,staring down the man at the other side.
"What bad?"
"You're moving to a new foster home today!don't you remember?" Bad says gently. Tommy sighs,turning around with his arms wide open. A bag flies across the room and he catches it with ease. A few seconds later,a red sweater does too. He quickly ties that around his waist.
"Good to see you're all packed!meet me at the car" Bad says before turning and leaving,grabbing Tommy's bag with him.
Tommy turns to the older boy,whose hair is still undone. Tommy passes him a hairband,a small "thanks" escaping the older's mouth.
"I know you don't like leaving...I worry too you know? Bad knows which families are good,I'm sure you'll be fine!"
The other boy smiles, even if you can't quite see it. He ruffles Tommy's messy blond hair,effectively messing it more.
"I know I know.. it's not that I worry about and you know it...but yea I'm a big man!I'll be fine!"
The two pull in for a hug,the older fondly ruffling Tommy's hair again. They pull away,Tommy smiling just the tiniest bit. He pulls up his bag,one strap falling off since Tommy refuses to wear anything properly.
"Bye Tommy"
"Bye dream"
Then the younger ran out,leaving dream alone in their little room.
