Chapter Text
There was something that Tommy is certain about; Dream’s title as the Admin of the server was nothing more than just that; A mere title . Like, how hard can it be when the masked man keeps appearing around the server like he didn’t have anything better to do but waste time going around instead of actually working?
And he is Tom Minecraft, the Tommy Innit, who is known for not holding back his tongue even if his words would end up turning against him most of the time, so when he saw Dream going around following Captain Puffy like a lost puppy without doing anything to help or actually do his “job” , he couldn’t help but utter his thoughts on that.
“What the hell do you do all day, Dream?” the blond man turns around and lowers his head just enough to look the teenager in the eyes while he spoke. That made Tommy slightly nervous but he is not a pussy! He won’t hold back now! “I mean, you’re always wasting time messing around here instead of doing anything? It seems like you don’t even have any issues to care about”
Dream tilts his head and sighs, “I’m only here because I already did a lot of stuff” he answers, and Tommy shoots back, frowning, “What stuff?” “Just...Stuff?” Tommy looks at him annoyed, and the older adds, “Admin stuff, Tommy”
Tommy high-pitches his voice to mock him, “‘Oh look me I’m Big Bitch Dream, I do admin stuff, that’s my job and I’m freaking cool!’ That’s what I’m hearing, Dream, and you know what? I’m not buying that crap Dream! I’m sure you don’t have anything to do and that’s why you have enough time to waste!” the other scoffs and shoves his hands inside his bright green hoodie’s pocket. “ Again, I said, I do a lot of stuff, Tommy. I’m working all the time, that you don’t see it sounds like a you problem.”
“You know what, green bitch pussy?” the younger blond boy points at the masked one with his index finger accusingly, “I think you don’t do shit and that your ‘job’ it’s not that complicated!”
Dream seems to be holding back a laugh, only a huff of air leaves his mouth that it’s covered by the signature white porcelain mask that he wears all the time, “You think so, Tommy?”
He stutters a little, but crosses his arms and nods, “Yeah” his voice cracks a little, “I’m sure anyone could do it- Hell I’m sure even I could do it” “Is that so?” and he nods again, “Yes, Dream, I’m sure.”
They fell into silence for a while until he hears Dream utter a ‘Very well’ and mere seconds after Tommy blinks and they’re somewhere else completely, a white void where they’re all alone. The teenager almost trips over out of surprise, barely being able to process what just happened.
The way he was in a foreign environment all out of the blue, and in a blink!
Where the hell are they?!
“W-WOAH- What- Dream, what- What the hell is this place?! WHERE are WE?” the other looks so used to all this that he just stays there completely unbothered and it makes Tommy really mad. Although the other answers his question, all calm, “This is the Admin void, Tommy”
The kid blinks confused and let's go a shaking laugh, “The what now?” but he lets go a yelp when the other suddenly extends one of his hands to him, close enough to make the other flinch and stand back, his battle reflexes kicking in due to his startled body, even so, the older just keeps his hand there, and tilts his head, “Shake my hand, Tommy”
“Pardon?” quickly says, confusedly looking at the hand to later frown in annoyance, “Why the hell would I want to touch your hand, Dream? Ew, that’s very sus and weirdchamp of you Dream'' gives a smirk when he is clearly a little scared, and the other seems to have his patience going thinner every second that passes because he moves his hand insistently, “Take my hand, Tommy.” comes out in a tired tone.
“Okay, okay, FINE! Jesus, you’re so insistent, Dream.” Tommy finally gives up and takes in the other's hand, “What now, green bitch?”
He yelps when he feels how tighter the grip of the other’s hand holding his own suddenly, the area surrounding them was a little tense, and Tommy couldn’t really say he wasn’t just a little spooked out by all of this. “U-uh, ha- ha...Dream?” the other doesn’t answer, his grip still firm. Tommy jerks his hand to try to take it away from him, but it seems impossible, like their hands were glued together now, it was starting to make him panic.
However, he is stopped in his struggling when a screen appears beside Dream, numbers that Tommy couldn’t really understand going down too fast to even be able to read them, like when you accidentally press the wrong button in a device and a creepy ass console opens and freaks you out. “Dream…? What’s- what’s that?”
“You said you didn’t think my job was complicated, right, Toms?” dark, deep, green eyes look back down to him- When did the other take off his mask? His face was...Not what he expected. The firm yet young features of the man in his early twenties were contorted by the dark shadows below his eyes, circling and framing the tired eyes.
A broken man.
Paleness and scars faded by time conformed the exhausted face of a man. It left Tommy shocked to the bone. Dream didn’t say anything else and wrote something in the floating keyboard below the pannel he was looking at, and said something after, looking at their hands, “I would like to renounce to my title, to give up the powers I’ve been provided by the Elders, and by this oath... ” he looks towards the shocked blond and adds, his eyes shining with an unhuman green glow, “I shall give them up to my successor who swears to serve the system right and embrace the title that has been passed to him by me, the former and only Administrator of this server of my creation. ”
Tommy just manages to utter a “Hold on, w-what-?” before a message appeared in front of him.
“[Player] Tommyinnit has been promoted to [Operator]!”
The glowing faded and Tommy felt electricity running through his veins and up to his brain making him almost pass out and give some steps back, falling to the ground when he felt like it was moving below his feet, his vision blurry. It made his entire body shook and a piercing scream broke out of his throat in complete pain.
When the pain disappears, he is left on the floor all shaking and panting, tears threatening to fall from his eyes. As he calms down, he sits on the floor, a hand on his chest, feeling how his heart was bouncing against his ribcage, seeming like it was trying to leave his body.
And now, he is met by a different void this time, a pitch-black one now.
Dream is there, turning around when he sees he is getting up finally, his mask is once again covering his face. But what made Tommy widen his eyes is the giant figures standing right beside the other, looking down at them like they were mere ants standing in their way. Yet Dream doesn’t seem to be afraid of them in any way.
The blue giant one gives in a few giggles, their voice echoing in the never-ending space, it brings a hand to his face and tilts its head, there’s a mask covering the giant’s face, “Oh my,” they speak, “I’ve to say I’m surprised, sweet Dreamie” Tommy shivers below the piercing...gaze and stands closer to the older blond seeking security that the other provided when he let him be at his side. “What’re you surprised about, HD?” Dream asks.
The giant, HD?, laughs once again and leans down to look at the humans from their stature, “I wouldn’t ever have thought that you’d give up your title this soon, Daydream. And to this human nonetheless. What made you pass your golden blood to him?”
Suddenly, the other one, who had stayed there in absolute quietness for the whole time, spoke their opinion, “HD” called out, making their companion straighten and turn to them. “Enough. Who he passes his powers to is not our issue, so chill, alright?”
HD scoffs but nods, “You’re really boring, Exdee” says and disappears just like that.
Exdee looks down at him, and gives a slight nod to Dream before also disappearing, leaving the two humans? alone.
Tommy tries to talk to Dream, barely being able to utter a “Dream-” before the void disappears and they’re at home finally. The dirty blond-haired man is silent as he slowly walks away. “W-Wait, Dream!” pleads, and the adult stops on track, but doesn’t turn around, “Dream- Big D- What- What do I do now?”
“Anything you want” replies in a tired voice, turning slightly to look at him, “This is your server now, after all, Tommy. The Dream SMP- No, the Tommy SMP is yours now.” and so like that, he faces the path and walks away.
Tommy can only look as the other keeps walking with slow and shaking steps, he stumbles a little but continues.
“YOU WILL SEE, DREAM!” he shouts loud enough so the other could hear him perfectly, “I’LL BE THE BEST ADMIN EVER! YOU JUST SEE! I WILL!”
It's fine, REALLY! take a deep breath Tommy. Everything is alllllrighhttt.
Like, c'mon!
How hard can it be?
