17. Teacher/Student & Student/Teacher
Disclaimer: If you don't like this setting, then just leave.
Watching Dream coach Sapnap during his speedrun and marveling at how much of a "know-it-all" Dream is, I suddenly realized I’ve never actually written a teacher/student setting…!! This is unacceptable! How can this be!!!
Top teacher Techno/ Bottom student Dream
I remember Dream saying in the early days of the DSMP (before the lore started) that he wasn't a "good kid" back in school. So, my brain automatically generated a scenario:
Delinquent Student Dream is instantly won over by the new teacher, Techno. He immediately starts acting like a "good boy" to try and be a model student (SNF: "Bro, are you a teenage girl in love or something?"), following every school rule, never skipping class, and studying hard to get good grades—all just to be praised by Mr. Blade.
After observing for a few days, Mr. Techno realizes that as long as he praises Dream, he can keep him in check. So, he starts complimenting him frequently. Eventually, they both belatedly realize that this isn't just a simple craving for validation, but a kink Dream didn't even know he had (because, frankly, not many people praised him in the past).
How did they find out? Well, one day Techno calls Dream into his office to discuss his grades. Since Techno has younger siblings at home, he habitually praises Dream for his recent performance, calling him a "good boy" and subconsciously patting him on the head. Dream's brain completely short-circuits, replaying the headpat over and over. Techno talks for a while, but seeing no reaction, he calls Dream's name—and that's when they both realize Dream actually has a hard-on.
Techno: …
Dream: …………
Techno: Bruhhhhh
And then, well, you know how it goes—originally, the plan was just to finish quickly so Dream wouldn't be too embarrassed to leave. But while Techno was helping Dream off, Dream couldn't hold back anymore and confessed that he wanted his teacher to do even more "excessive" things to him. Techno hesitated for a moment but eventually gave in; luckily, Dream was already a senior and of legal age.
Then both of them had a great time and established a secret relationship. Techno turned out to be a closeted Dom, and being a teacher, the whole "good boy, bad boy, reward and punishment" talk came naturally to him. Later on, Dream would often intentionally act out or fail tests just to get his teacher to punish him. Techno felt quite helpless, thinking a teacher shouldn't let a student turn out like this—until Dream's major exam results came out and it turned out he was faking the bad grades. Oh, well then, never mind.
SNF, who are only partially in the loop: "What on earth did this new teacher turn Dream into?"
Top student Techno/ Bottom teacher Dream
Dream is the new teacher who often gets bullied by students because he's too gentle and kind. While Techno is a reclusive, socially anxious nerd who is surprisingly popular.
At first, Dream thinks Techno is being isolated or bullied because he's always alone, so he takes the initiative to check on him, nearly scaring Techno to death. Since Techno happens to be the class president, he inevitably has to interact with this new homeroom teacher more than others. However, because of this extra time spent together, Techno gradually realizes Dream isn't what others say he is; at his core, he's just a good-hearted guy. His perception of Dream shifts, and his feelings start to grow.
Later, Dream has to leave school early for a family matter, and another teacher asks Techno to drop off some documents at Dream's house after school. Techno intended to leave as soon as he delivered them, but a sudden rainstorm forces him to stay the night. He feels incredibly awkward, and being constantly distracted by Dream’s casual "at-home" look only makes it worse.
The tension peaks when Dream comes out of the shower with only a towel wrapped around his waist. Techno’s face turns as red as his hair and he immediately rushes into the bathroom, but he can't get the image of Dream’s physique out of his head. Then he looks down and—holy crap—little Techno is standing at attention. This is so cringe!
But wait, there's more: since Dream lives alone and only has one bed, he doesn't want his student to sleep on the sofa and offers to sleep there himself. Without thinking, Techno blurs out that they should just share the bed. The result is Dream falling asleep instantly, leaving Techno awkward, nervous, and shy, barely managing to drift off past midnight. When he wakes up the next morning, he finds Dream has pulled him into his arms in his sleep. Staring at Dream’s unbuttoned pajama top and exposed chest right in front of him, Techno is on the verge of a total breakdown.
Originally, this whole ordeal would have passed with only the adolescent Techno suffering (not really), but as luck would have it, Dream had a stroke of misfortune. Since the two of them went to school together, rumors of an inappropriate relationship between teacher and student spread like wildfire, with people calling Dream a pedo*** (even though Techno's age is already an adult). Techno was completely baffled as to where these rumors came from; he had no desire to deal with his self-righteous classmates who came to "check on" him, and when he was called to the principal's office, he stated with a clear conscience that they truly hadn't done anything. Nevertheless, Dream was still suspended because of the incident. When his classmates started gossiping again, Techno couldn't stand to listen anymore; in a rare move, he claimed he wasn't feeling well, left school early, and went straight to Dream's house.
He knocked on the door and waited for a long time before a red-eyed Dream finally opened it. Dream stubbornly insisted he was fine and that it was his own lack of foresight that had dragged Techno into this. Hearing Dream blame himself like that was the final straw for Techno; he kissed Dream directly to shut him up. At that moment, he was completely swept up in his emotions, saying and doing things that his rational self would usually kill him for—something along the lines of, "Since they're all saying this about you anyway, why don't we just make it a reality?"
Dream was so stunned by the kiss that he didn't realize what was happening until Techno started pulling at his clothes, at which point he hurriedly tried to stop him. Techno was feeling irritable, but he still asked Dream if he was unwilling; if so, he would apologize and pretend this never happened, as long as Dream stopped blaming himself. After hesitating for a long time, Dream finally gave in—because, of course, he had fallen for Techno long ago.
Once Techno realized that Dream liked him back, he felt quite happy and calmed down a bit. It was then that the shyness and clumsiness kicked in; having never had a partner before, he had zero practical experience. Dream teased him about where all that previous bravado had gone, and then proceeded to give Techno a step-by-step tutorial on how to top him. Truly a teacher at heart, Mr. Wastaken! As for why he knew how to do this, he had actually tried it with toys before, out of pure curiosity; Techno was the first actual person. Congratulations to both for taking each other's first time 👏👏👏
As for the teacher/teacher dynamic, there isn't much to say—usually, that's the "married for years, old married couple" trope being discovered by students. Purely a personal preference! Old married couples are great! Since things have come to this, let's just bully the students together.jpg
