    Summary

    Tommy curled up into himself instinctively, wrapping his arms around his knees. “I'm sorry, Dream, I really fuckin' am, I’m so so sorry-“

     

    “Tommy.” His voice went dark for a second, and Tommy let out a noise akin to a cornered animal. “It’s your birthday. You don’t have to say sorry about anything.” And like that, he was kind again, and there was nothing wrong in the world except Tommy.

     

    “It's just- it must have been important for you and I know you get upset when I forget that stuff, and- and I don’t wanna be a fucking waste, y’know, you took me in out of the kindness of your own heart. I gotta repay that somehow.”

     

    “Tommy, being here is payment enough.” Dream held out his hand, and instinctively Tommy leant his head into the palms, letting Dream ruffle his hair affectionately. It meant “I'm not gonna hurt you,” and Tommy let out a sigh of relief. It was a good day, then.

    ——

    Or, in a universe where Dream and Tommy really did become immortal together, they celebrate Tommy's birthday for the first time in centuries.
