Chapter Text
Dream almost never celebrates anything. He'd rather stay at home and do whatever, as long as he's not going outside.
If anything, he'll do whatever he can to avoid interacting with the outside world, because it's a real hassle to like, dress up and do other shit that would make him not look like a lonely degenerate.
Because he highkey looks like one, for real, for real.
Online shopping may have stunted his progress on changing his hermit-esque lifestyle, but his visits to his boyfriend's state balance it out, he swears.
"It's Christmas soon," Sapnap mumbles beside him as he scrolls through the channels on his new flatscreen TV that he won from a raffle. Dream hums as a reply, focused on his phone as he plays his silly little word hunt game that he plays whenever he's bored or simply does not want to talk to anyone. "What do you want as a gift?"
Dream pauses, his thumb hovering over his phone, before looking up. Huh. "Uh? I guess a ps5 would be nice? I kinda wanna play that one Spiderman game," he shrugs, before looking back to his game.
Hit. Think. Tin. Kit. Hint.
"The Miles Morales one?"
"Yeah, I saw people saying that it's pretty good." He continues to mumble, entirely engrossed in his game. Sapnap settles on a random episode of Season 17 of Master Chef and grabs Prison from the other side of the couch, stroking her fur absent-mindedly. "Could be fun. Are you going home for Christmas?"
Tih. Error. Hin. Error.
"Idiot. This is my home. Though my mom wants me to show up for Christmas Eve," Sapnap grins as he stretches Prison's paws, making the cat longer as she yawns. He cooes, before continuing. "Gonna be here for New Year’s though. Will Techno be here too?"
Over the months, Techno and Sapnap have developed a weird… rival-esque bond over games. They would fanboy over pokemon, and would constantly argue with what's better, what's cuter as they played the same game at the same time (with George, occasionally).
Dream would massage his sore legs as he playfully quarrelled with Sapnap, watching Techno smile and snicker as he opted to explore and enjoy the loaded world while Sapnap sped through.
It's a fascinating sight, really. It's like watching your husband play with your brother, and it warms Dream's heart even though they would go to the point of snatching each other's controllers to prevent them from progressing on the game.
It's safe to say that they have a strong bond now, but it's not as strong as Techno and Dream's or Dream’s and Sapnap's. That he could confirm because he's not a jealous man at all.
It's just facts.
"Still haven't talked to him about that. We'll buy gifts together on the 23rd, though," he hums, and Sapnap makes a noise of acknowledgement. "Do you think George is still attached to that one specific plush toy from Tiktok? There's a whole collection of that shit."
"The answer is yes." The two turn to George, looking like he just woke up three minutes ago, clad in Dream's white shirt and Sapnap's dark blue shorts.
Motherfucker is too lazy to do his own laundry, again.
"Pretend you didn't hear anything," Dream quickly says. George shrugs, a grin on his face as he walks to the kitchen and returns with a can of chilled coke. "Eat something before you drink that, by the way," Dream sighs, returning to his Word Hunt game.
George stills, before opening the can and taking a sip. Idiot. "Couldn't hear what you just said because I was totally deaf until 5 seconds ago. Good morning fucklords, what's for breakfast?"
"You'll get a stomach ache, George," Dream grumbles under his breath. "It's 2 pm. I airfried nuggets. There's microwaved leftovers that mom cooked… and he ignored me again." Dream says as George takes another sip.
George snickers, before settling in between Sapnap and Dream. Head on Sapnap's chest and legs on Dream's lap. The blonde tsked and threatened to pull George's leg hairs. "Are you guys gonna get me something for Christmas?"
George bats his eyelashes at them, a grin turning into a grimace as Sapnap's arm wraps around his neck and puts him in a chokehold. "Sapnap! Are you trying to kill me?" He smacks the younger, hand hitting Sapnap's face.
"Are you gonna get me something?" Sapnap demands, jokingly tightening his hold. George sticks out his tongue.
Dream makes an unimpressed face as the two start smacking each other like two kids arguing in a park. George and Sapnap already knew that the blonde would have something for them so they didn’t pester him. He only really starts protesting when George's legs starts kicking and almost lands one on his gut.
"Stop being idiots, both of you," Dream reaches out to pinch George's cheek and flick Sapnap's forehead. He goes to stand up but George pulls him by the arm, making him fall on top of the two. Sapnap wheezes a cough as two heavy weights fall on top of him.
"George what the fuck are you doing?" Dream cracks a laugh and attempts to push himself back up, but the brunette starts laughing like the idiot he is and grabs a fistful of Dream's shirt, keeping him from standing up. The brunette’s looking like he’s being sandwiched by the two.
"We're bonding," George grins again, and Sapnap starts slapping the hell out of the two, screaming like he was being murdered.
Dream has to keep up with them on a daily basis.
"Get the fuck off meeeee, you two are heavy as shit," he whines, and George finally lets go, leaving Dream to sit beside them as George makes himself comfortable on Sapnap's lap.
The raven haired guy sighs and settles a supporting hand on George's waist.
"What about Techno, Dream? What are you gonna get him?" Sapnap wiggles his eyebrows, and George looks at Dream, eyes wide. The blonde tenses before relaxing.
LOL. He hasn't told Sapnap yet?
"Can I tell him?" George cackles, and Dream shrugs, opting to continue the game on his phone, ignoring the way his feet suddenly feel cold.
"Huh, Dream already told you? That's unfair," Sapnap pouts, and George simply pats his cheek, a blank look on his face.
"Life is always unfair when GeorgeNotFound is around." He flashes him a quick smile before leaning into his ear and whispering what Dream would get Techno, despite it being super fucking unnecessary.
It just makes Dream get more nervous.
He waits for George to finish, whispering loud despite the purpose of the word.
Not to be petty or anything. He thinks it's a damn good gift.
The small velvet box in his pocket feels cold on his thigh.
"You did what?!" Sapnap immediately yells when George finishes whispering the deets. George aggressively nods after.
"That's what I said too!" George gives Dream a pointed look and the blonde simply rolls his eyes, stubborn on the gift he chose.
"Oh come on, it's a good gift." He insists, and Sapnap presses his cheeks to his own face. "Can't you just be happy for me or something?"
Sapnap frowns, before shaking his head. "I mean, of course I'm super freaking happy right now, but that doesn't mean I don't worry." George nods again.
"I got a down payment this time, okay? 18 months," Dream smiles to himself, thinking about the satisfaction he felt when he sealed the deal with the lady, holding on to the feeling despite the doubts creeping into his head.
Technoblade is live!
Dream doesn’t notice the notification that pops up on his phone as he absentmindedly clears all of them, fiddling on his phone and looking at his wallpaper.
It’s a picture of his boyfriend with his back turned to the camera, head slightly turned to Dream as the blonde called for him. The sun was directly in front of them so the contrast is aesthetically intense. His pink hair is getting blown by the wind and his muscled tee hugs his body in a way that made Dream cross-eyed for a quick 3 seconds when he saw his boyfriend in it.
They went hiking in Zion National Park in Utah last month and Dream was able to take nice photos of rocks, more rocks, and Techno.
"I… chose this decision by myself this time," Dream slowly says. It felt right.
It did, really.
He knows it's a big step. Really big one.
He takes risks all the time.
But he's sure of this one.
He's sure of it.
"I think I've been selfless for far too long."
----
"Ah yes, finally— chat, chat, ignore the fact that I've been gone for way too long, " The pink haired chuckles to himself as the chat on his stream immediately floods with people being angry that he's been gone for two months.
Okay, maybe two months was indeed long. He didn't expect time to fly quicker when his schedule was packed with non-streaming things.
He was busy with his merch, his website and uh, things he'd rather not disclose to anyone except people on reddit. (On an alt, undistinguished, of course.)
The tips worked and he's finally confident enough that he is one noble man.
"Chat, stop spamming 'Technolate.' I was gone because I wanted my wares to be nothin' but perfect to you nerds, so frankly, it was a good thing that I took a break from streamin'. I better start seein' praises and thank yous because that's what I deserve, obviously," he scoffs, but he immediately leans closer to his mic and follows up his previous statements with a more anxious voice. "No but seriously guys I hope you liked the designs, I thought of them by myself but I had someone to like, help me bring them to life. I also hope that there won't be any trouble with the shippin' and receivin' part or else I will actually— okay." He says in one breath, before resuming his suave, chill persona.
"Thank you Kenny for the fifty, Techno my hamster gave birth , ah, congratulations. Thank you Moony for the hundred. My mom let me buy your merch— tell her she has good taste."
The stream went on for a good 20 minutes. 10 minutes before his sellout timer. He's grinding for netherite material after stealing a bunch of TNT from Fundy's gunpowder farm.
Despite his anxiety about his merch release, streaming and interacting with the people who watch him felt good. It was almost a valid reason to talk to himself without it being weird.
It was his alone time, even though he was far from being alone. With streaming, he could tell the jokes he made that made himself laugh to thousands and thousands of people.
It's a pretty nice job.
He’s his own boss and he gets to boss everyone else.
He gets to have his own pace and people won't call him out for it.
It's kind of cool, honestly. He has people that he didn't have to force in order to be heard. They come willingly due to his very attractive (their words, not his) voice and his dry, sarcastic humour.
They give him free money too. So that's nice.
"Thank you Jirose for the fifty, pog. Technoblade what are your plans for the Holidays? First of all, it's none of your business, but I guess I could say a few things to prove that I'm not a total introvert. I could be social if I wanted to. Anyway — uh," Techno pauses.
What is he gonna do for the holidays again?
Oh right.
"For starters, my partner and I will be goin' shopping so we can get gifts for everyone. Can't forget the family you know? I'll spend Christmas at my dad's house and at New Year's… I'm not sure? I still gotta talk to him about that, but I think it would be extremely poggers if I get to spend New Year’s at his," He absentmindedly says, distracted from putting TNT on a row of mined netherrack before lighting it with a flint and steel, backing up and hiding behind a pillar.
As the explosions pop on his earphones, he glances at his second monitor and makes a sound of confusion from the large amount of question marks and confused comments that rapidly flash across his chat. "Heh, what are you guys question markin' me about?"
Heh?
He receives a notification from his discord.
He alt-tabs to check who it's from, confusion dancing in his eyes.
It's from Phil.
Philza

Heh? What?
"Are you guys trollin'? What's with the sudden change in…" Technoblade sounds utterly confused as he waits for Phil to reply. "Heh?"

"What's wrong with my answer, did I say something wrong— Oh sh—"
The live has ended.
Fuck.
