Walking on the prime path, Dream was just wanting to head for base to maybe rearrange his stuff or see if there was anything that was lacking which needed to be stacked up. Though, during his walk. Something like smoke started to appear, twisting and wrapping itself around Dream- it’s hold tight.
”Nothing better to do..? You know.. I could always help with that.”
A voice, so alike his own but not at the same time, echoed in his head just for him to hear. Dream held back an annoyed eyeroll that threatened to reach the back of his skull, he didn't bother to acknowledge the entity that was basically wrapping itself around as if it were some kind of blanket.
He kept walking, acting as if he did not hear a thing- which clearly displeased the other.
”Must you be so rotten? Such ugly and sour behavior.. Others would have died of gratitude at sight of me.”
They hissed, the grip tightening ever so more, a smokey like tentacle coming up to lightly tap at the others cheek repeatedly. Displeased but not enough to actually want to cause harm just *yet*.
Ugh.. he hated hearing those words thrown at him over and over again, almost like an annoying fly buzzing in his ear. If the entity was so bored, why didn't they go bother someone else willing to play along and worship them? Dream was not in any mood to deal with them.
A short and monotoned reply, only adding fuel to the God's already soiled mood.
”You and I both know that isn't true..”
Their tone darkened, turning to static and deep, then- it faltered, their grip on Dream releasing around him if only a bit.
”What upsets you my Daydream..? Clearly something did.”
Dream stiffened at the nickname, halting his steps for a moment.
“I told you not to call me that.”
Dream reminded, it wasn't that he disliked the nickname, it was something his sister occasionally called him, and would like it to be just her.
XD scoffed, their hands coming up to lightly feel and soothe the buds on Dream’s head- stroking the velvet soft skin.
Dream winced, pain striking through him as he went to swat away the smoke like hand. Though, it was pointless as the hand remained intact against his head. He felt his temper tipping on the edge- threatening to fall.
”hehe ~ dont be so upset.. You know I can feel it too, you know? Your annoyance, your pain.. Your hatred. It’s just so cute when you get all pissy like this.”
The God cooed, its tentacle-like robe wrapping itself around Dream’s waist- XD always liked the feeling of the other, the warmth of his skin against their own cold touch. They could be even closer to Dream- having the easy ability to slip into him as if Dream were some pair of socks.
XD could feel *everything* with Dream too, they shared that connection, the God always knew whatever Dream was doing or feeling- not like they couldn't even without the string attaching them! But it just felt more stronger with it.. They liked it- they just wished that their other half would have shared the same sentiment..
“Fuck- stop saying creepy crap like that.. I don't need to hear it- especially now.”
Dream shuddered, not sharing the same enthusiasm about this so called *’connection’* that he and XD shared.
“Honestly.. I'm tired of this damn string- why isnt it severed yet..”
The last part was said more quietly- likely not wanting to anger the entity. Which didn't really do anything since they still heard it.
”Again with this severance talk- i told you time and time again that you aren't ready for that sort of thing.. Besides- you’d barely survive out here without me, you *need* me.”
“I don't! Why can't you see that I want to be my own? To make my own choices.”
”Have I ever stopped you from doing any of that? You are quite the selfish child you know.. I gave you life, I gave you this SMP! And what do I get? You, speaking back to your creator and this disrespect, honestly I've been way too merciful with you!”
As they started to argue with one another, the conversation turned more and more heated, Dream was about to snap until he realized someone was calling out to him- jeez.. He got too distracted arguing with XD.
Dream looked around, trying to find the source of the sound. Then- from afar.. He saw Fundy.. And- Tubbo?
What could they possibly want?
The pain was excruciating- as if something like an organ was ripped out of him, kneeling slumpily on the cold grassy ground, clutching his bleeding head- mask discarded, Prime knows where..
But something else was weird- he couldn’t hear XD’s voice in his head.. It was empty like a void- his own thoughts being the only ones filling it.
While feeling his head, he felt something- *new.* something solid and hard. His horns had finally come out- nothing to brag about.. But it was something out of the ordinary for Dream.
What the hell happened? There’s no way that dumb ritual actually worked..
Whilst Dream was still in his racing thoughts, the two *’hunters’* were coming up to him, asking all sorts of frantic questions that Dream could barely register and only answer some of them with a hand still clutching his bleeding head.
When the other two started to calm, Fundy hand noticed Dream did not have his mask on..
*Of course- as Dream’s ex fiance.. He clearly saw Dream without his mask on before! It was freaky though during that time.. Clearly expecting something else and not thinking of the possibility of Dream having no face at all. *
But now.. In there present time- he could clearly see *Dream’s eyes*.. And they were a gorgeous vibrant green that practically glowed.
“Woah.. i didnt know you had green eyes-”
Fundy had commented involuntarily, the guy was just being really mesmerized and curious.
That got Dream to lock in.. looking up at the fox with his new eyes in surprise- as Dream hurried to find something he could look into, finding a small pond. Dream leaned over it slightly, taking a look and was gobsmacked at what he saw was true!
*eyes..* green ones too- Dream lifted a hand to his face, like he couldn't believe such things could be on *his* face!
“Where did these come from..”
He muttered to himself, not sure if he liked them or not.
During their buzzing chatter.. Somewhere at the far deep place of the forest, laid the entity- but less intact, it was buzzing furiously, static blaring all around it as they realized what had happened.
*This was pure insolence..!*
Where had those foolish mortals learned such tactics and rituals? It was impossible! But yet.. Their and Dreams' connection was severed.
Well- not entirely, there was still a small very thin thread that was connecting them- it was good that they held onto it as tight as they did.
Sharp eyes turned to look at Dream, watching as the man peered over at the pond with such astonishing and curious eyes.
That *selfish*, *ungrateful-* *Insolent* little devil dare be so happy at the possibility of their severance! XD had really been too kind.. They had given Dream an inch and he ran a mile!..
That was their own fault for indulging their other half for this long.. Spoiling and giving him whatever he wanted.
Lets see how well will their little Daydream adjust without them.
*XD knows it wont take long til that stubborn brat will come back crawling for forgiveness.*
(Little comic to give more context for that one drawing I did with Dream and XD together..)
