Chapter Text
He had finally decided to leave exile, yes. Where would he go though? Techno hated him, and he wasn’t allowed in L’manburg or the Main SMP.
He thought he was safe here, in the Essempi. More so than where he was before at least.
He wanted to go back. Back when he was happier, with his first(platonic) husband on Essempi Earth.
When it was the five of them versus the world.
Versus the Antarctic Empire.
Before Wisp betrayed them. Before his first death.
Of course, back then lives were not limited, but it was still incredibly painful.
Yes it hurt, but he was safe.
Techno still somewhat cared for him, and so did Wilbur.
One time he had crashed his plane, he woke up with a red cloak wrapped around him and a note by his side.
He wouldn't trust anyone to do that anymore.
He missed Deo.
---
He missed Tommy.
His first real friend had been dragged off by Wilbur, the older brother figure saying something about 'Greater adventure'
Bullshit. Tommy looked happy though. That's all Deo wanted.
(LIAR!)
Deo wanted Tommy back. So did the rest of Business Bay.
It is time to have a meeting.
It's time to put Business Bay back in business.
---
Dream was angry. The little bastard ran away.
It belonged to him, and he felt it was time for it to realise that.
He knew it would come running back as soon as it realised what life was without him.
For now though, he needed to set up a plan if it didn't come back.
---
He left.
He was running thought the Essempi to get to his house, and ran into Purpled.
He thought Purpled would turn him in.
He helped. Tommy wasn't used to help. Betrayals? Yes. Help? Nope, never heard of 'em.
---
He had bee searching for the perfect excuse to leave, and now he had it!
Tommy. The boy hurt by all, and the boy who used to have eyes of oceans and sapphires.
Now they were grey.
Purpled was determined to help. Even if he died.
He was convinced, this boy was worth the world.
And the world he was.

Tommy was crying. Why was he crying?
There were people here yes, but why did they feel familiar?
Tommy didn't realise until he caught sight of the orange Santa hat and the ruby ring.
Deo was here. Business Bay was here.
He could.. be safe?
He didn't know what safety was anymore, but he liked the sound of it. He would try something new again.
On his way back to the Bay, Deo caught sight of the amethyst ring next to his amber.
Tommy explained. Deo accepted. Reculantly. Sharing was not his forte.
And for the first time since he left Essempi Earth, he was happy.
Back to the Bay they went, but with them was a backstory of betrayal.
Trust is not easy now, and when Wisp comes back, he will not be greeted with joy.
