Tommy's pov:
Fuck-
Fuck-
He really REALLY fucked up.
He had been good for the past few months.
He tought he could finally be what Dream wanted him to be, but he HAD to be a dumbass.
A fucking idiot.
A crybaby.
Tubbo (or any of the others) didn't even care for him.
But he HAD to ruin his relationship with his best friend because of some dumb pictures.
Dear prime
He was just looking at the photos but it was so windy outside and now they were all scattered everywhere.
Technically if he didn't stop and panic like an idiot he would have been able to get them all togheter before Dream showed up
But here he was
Dream would arrive any second now and there he was, sitting on the dirt and gripping his hair in attempt to find stability.
But he couldn't
He was drowning
Everything felt unreal and he couldn't move
He was so scared of when Dream would come, but at the same time he NEEEDED his comfort.
The idea of hugging the green man was so comforting yet so scary.
He needed to escape
But he couldn't go anywhere
Except...
There was only one person that brought him brotherly comfort but still punished him when he was reckless
And the way to go to them was right in front of him
He grabbed the small dagger he kept with the pictures
Fuck the pictures
No no no
He had to concentrate
He brought the dagger to his heart
He was so close to escaping
But a hand stopped him
He looked up and saw his best friend
His owner
Dream
His eyes started pouring rivers of water and his face met Dream's sternum and now that he could feel his breathing he realised Dream saw everything
From the photos to his dumb attempt to escape
He sputtered out loads and loads of apologies but weirdly Dream wasn't getting upset or angry
The older's hand was making small circles in his back in a comforting way
"Don't worry Toms, I get, it's hard being you, your head is the one of a brat but you're nice in your heart, I've been trying to make you forget about the others but you can't and thats ok, I want to help you and make you able to only think about me and you, us. Isn't that what you want?"
His voice was so sooting, and what he was proposing sounded beautiful, a life with his best friend where he didn't have to think about anything else.
A life without pain, one were he wasn't a stupid fucking brat
He wanted that
He needed that.
"Of course Dream!!! Please fix me!! I beg you!!"
He knew he sounded desperate, but he was and there's no need to hide his emotions from his best friend.
"No worries Toms, I'll do it, I can't wait to see you all fixed up"
The green man smiled in a way that warmed his heart
"It's going to be a small procedure, it'll hurt a bit but I'll be there for you Toms, and you are very brave aren't you?"
Dream was still patting his back and even tought he was kinda scared of getting a precedure done he trusted the older with everything he had
"Alright I'm so happy to have you Dream, you're all the family that I ever wished for, do whatever you think could make me perfect"

Tubbo's pov:
He was so freaking excited!!!
He felt so bad about exiling Tommy but at the same time he felt so scared of going to see him in Logstedshire, what if the blonde resented him and didn't want to see him ever again?
But the other day Dream came to him and told him that since Tommy was doing so good he could come back to L'Manberg.
He ditched his presidential suit to wear is old ragged green shirt, so that Tommy could feel home as soon ad he saw him.
He knew how devastating Pogtopia was for Tommy so he wanted to make his comeback perfect as a way of saying sorry for making the younger go back to being exiled.
It took a lot of convincing since Niki wasn't exactly fond of Tommy but in the end she made him cookies and he personally went out of his way to find the old sewing kit Tommy used to make the uniforms douring the independence.
Now all he had to do was wait, he cleared out the day thanks to Quackity's help so he was just waiting on a bench a couple meters away from the nether portal.
The seconds felt unbearably long but he finally heard the sound of the activated portal.
He looked at the people getting out of it, ready to see Dream and his smiling best friend, with his classic red and white t-shirt and his fluffy blond hair, probably annoying Dream with weird jokes and his loud voice.
But that wasn't what came out of the portal
Dream was there but the guy that came out next to him wasn't familiar
He was latched on Dream as if he wouldn't be able to walk otherwise, his clothes were very heavy for being summer but he was still trembling as if he was in the coldest climate ever, maybe it was connected to how skinny the guy was, unhealthily so. Another thing that made the boy look sick were the bandages around his head and eye wrapped in a way that only made escape a couple of blonde strands.
But when the guy looked up his world stopped
His face was calm, almost apathetic and his eyes were pointed on Dream and Dream only, as if he was scared of looking away.
But the worst part was that he looked incredibly similar to Tommy.
But that was impossible
Tommy was lound and happy but the person in front of him was pratically a wireless marionette.
He stayed still, hoping the real Tommy would come out behind the duo
But nothing happend and they were coming closer and closer to him
Dream said hi and nudged the guy to do the same, but he looked confused, like he was in a void and couldn't understand any of the stymols around him
Rage mixed with sadness overtook him
That was Tommy's body but Tommy wasn't there.
Dream killed his best friend and he was the one that gave him to the monster
He launched himself at the duo in an attempt to grasp Tommy out of the green man's hands
But Dream wasn't the one holding Tommy
Tommy was the one grasping on Dream like he was his life, and Tommy was also the one that looked almost scared of him behind his empty eyes
He crumbled on the flood grasping his hair and screaming as Dream smirked and walked away, going into the portal just like he came out of it, his best friend's cadaver with him.
