Chapter Text
As Dream's tears slowly subsided, Technoblade remained steadfast, allowing him to cry it out. The night air was cool against their skin, but the warmth of their connection wrapped around them like a comforting blanket.
After a few minutes, Technoblade gently pulled back, looking down at Dream with concern etched on his face. “How about some ice cream?” he suggested, trying to lighten the mood. Dream nodded, grateful for the distraction as they made their way to a nearby shop.
They sat on a bench outside, ice cream cones in hand, Technoblade’s towering figure providing an air of protection as Dream took a tentative lick of his treat. The sweetness contrasted sharply with the earlier encounter, but he felt a flicker of happiness for the first time since the incident.
Technoblade watched him, an eyebrow raised in curiosity. “What’s wrong, Dream? You seem miles away.”
Dream hesitated, looking down at his ice cream. “I just… can’t stop thinking about that man. He… he touched me,” he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. “Why would someone do that? Just… why?”
Technoblade’s expression darkened, his jaw tightening as he processed Dream’s words. “People can be cruel,” he said slowly, his voice heavy with emotion. “Some think they can take what isn’t theirs, and they don’t care about the pain they cause. It’s… disgusting.”
Dream’s brow furrowed in confusion. “But why? I don’t understand. What’s the point of hurting someone like that?”
It was then that Technoblade realized just how much Dream didn’t know. “You really don’t understand what sex is, do you?” he asked, concern lacing his tone.
Dream shook his head, his expression earnest and innocent. “No, I don’t. Is it something bad?”
Technoblade took a deep breath, carefully choosing his words. “It’s not bad in itself. It’s a natural part of life between two consenting people who care about each other. But some people misuse it, turning something beautiful into something awful. That man… he crossed a line, Dream. He didn’t care about you; he only saw you as a target.”
Dream’s eyes widened, realization dawning on him. “So… he wanted to hurt me because he’s… broken?”
Technoblade nodded, his heart aching for Dream’s innocence. “Exactly. But it’s important to understand that it’s not your fault. You didn’t do anything wrong. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Dream processed this, a frown forming on his lips. “I still don’t get why anyone would want to hurt someone else like that. It just doesn’t make sense to me.”
“That’s because you have a good heart, Dream,” Technoblade replied, his voice softening. “Not everyone is like you. Some people let their darkness consume them. But you have to remember, there’s also a lot of good in the world. And I’ll always be here to protect you from the bad.”
Dream smiled faintly, comforted by Technoblade’s words. “Thank you for being here, Techno. I don’t know what I would do without you.”
“Don’t worry about that,” Technoblade said, ruffling Dream’s hair playfully, a smirk returning to his face. “You’ve got me, and I don’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon.”
As they sat there together, the world around them felt a little brighter. Despite the darkness they had just faced, the bond between them only grew stronger, weaving an unbreakable thread of trust and protection.
