#i never gave up on you drunz

[tiredfoxtf]

i have another idea - c!drunz, but it's been years after the server collapsed/was rebranded/they left/whatever and the two of them are sitting on the porch, watching the sunset

I felt this one on mental level.

No warnings. :)

When Punz opens their eyes again, they are back to the sight they haven't seen in a while. Dream SMP, huh. Well, not real Dream SMP. This place was severely damaged and destroyed years ago. Mercenary vividly remembered the giant violet scratch in the sky and how earth started to disappear into the Void, how fear was rushing through his veins in the face of a doomed World and how Dream, yet again, saved them all. This place was nothing more than a memory of the latter. 

“Hey” says a familiar voice. Yeah, speaking of the green man himself. It’s not like Punz hasn't met him at all after apocalypse, no. They’ve met regularly on MCC practice and MCC themselves. It’s just they never got a chance to talk, maybe Dream was avoiding them or was busy - mercenary figured that it didn’t matter, clearly man needed space after something that he was trying to protect self-destructed. 

“Hey” Punz followed with a soft answer. They were on the roof of the old Community House, the very same that Dream blew up. Dream sat on the edge of the roof hugging his knees and watching sunset, but the sun seemingly didn’t move at all, staying forever in the moment of another’s memory. Punz joined him with a smile “Long time no see buddy”.

Mercenary watches how other unwillingly smiles back. Freckled face brightens and the tension in the shoulders disappears. For a moment Punz feels like the sun of the imaginary world shines brighter, making them feel warm on the inside. 

“You stole my line” he chuckled.

“In return you can steal mine, but I’m not sure if you ever will need to say ‘I’m sorry Dream, but you should have paid me more’” Punz jokingly shrugs and hears soft laughter in response.

They just sit in silence for some time, watching frozen in place sun, just comfortable with each other’s presence so close that their shoulders touch. Until Dream decides to speak again.

“I miss it” he pauses for a second to change a pose, letting go of his knees to lean more into mercenary “The SMP I mean. The old times”.

“I know” it’s true, Punz knows how badly man misses his, well, practically family “I do too”. Now this is a lie. He doesn’t really care, if something he wouldn’t like to return to being alone amongst the people. And of course Dream sees him like a twenty count thread sheet.

“No, you don’t” man states.

“No, I don’t” they easily agree and Dream presses into them tighter. Punz just hugs him with one hand. The replica of the old familiar world feels real, some sort of a weird deja vu. Staying like that without Dream continuing gave a mercenary place to say “But I’m glad that we had our times in that world. Yeah, it’s gone, but you have your memory, it hasn’t left you bare handed”.

“And you'' added Dream in a whisper.

“What?” confusingly asked Punz.

“I have you too? Memory and you?” the man said, unsure, as if asking for permission

“Of course. You’ll always have me”

And they stayed in the memory of the sunset for a while.

Eh Just A Little Banter

“He’s not going to talk,” Punz whispered and Techno spared him a glance. Dream just clenched his fist tighter as he sat on the chaise in front of them. He kept his book aside and looked at them.

“What? We’re gonna play therapy or something?” Dream asked, ridiculed by Techno’s behaviour.

“Well he better start now then,” Techno looked back at Dream again ignoring the earlier comment from him. Dream wasn't able to read Techno. He wasn't sure what was going on in his friend's mind.

Dream tilted his head slightly as he held eye contact with Technoblade. “Otherwise?”

“Nothing. Maybe you’ll just see me helping you as just a resource provider.” Even Punz looked at Technoblade surprised at his words. Techno looked at the floor. He hoped this worked. He hoped because he would never abandon Dream.

“Come on man,” Dream spoke, taken aback. “You can't pull this shit.”

“I can actually, if you’re going to be stubborn and be angry at yourself while also punching me almost everytime we fight,” Techno stood up from his chair abruptly, anger and sadness alike on his face. “You need to talk. You need to talk to us.”

Techno took a few steps towards Dream, standing in the middle of the room as he looked at his rival very subtly trying to stop the shaking of his hands. The piglin hybrid calmed himself down a bit.

“Each scar tells a story, some we are desperate to forget, others mark the beginning of something beautiful, you know. I for one have come to terms with my past, have you?” Technoblade looked back at Punz who just gave a nod. The mercenary was quiet this time like most of the time. Piping in only to smack some logic into their heads.

Dream clenched his jaw. His heart was threatening to burst out of chest. He would rather punch Techno like several times he had done before when they were frustrated with each other than tell the truth. Spill his heart out. He stood up and started to walk towards the door.

“Don't walk away,” Punz stated calmly. “Don't walk away this time. You never know you’ll regret that you never talked to us, Dream.”

“Dream please. You know I'd never say please to you so this is pretty serious man. Have you looked at yourself? You’re goal yeah we’re working towards, the three of us against the world, it but it is not going as you want and you know it. You know it and you’re frustrated at yourself but you won't budge. You stubborn idiot,” Technoblade stated calmly, shaking his head. “Because maybe Punz doesn't know what happened in there. I doubt you told him anything. But I know. You told me and I have seen with my own eyes. The cell, the stench of flesh and blood. Everything.”

Dream turned to face Techno, jaw clenched as he tried to compose himself. “Yeah? Why dont you speak about how painful was it when the anvil crushed you to death, how it felt to be crushed in pieces or how painful it was when Quackity cut you open with shears or how your stupid heart was so broken when Ranboo died that you didnt even space me a glance and left me out in the cold?!”

Techno glared at Dream. “Dont-”

“No stop,” Dream cut him off and looked at Punz. “and you. You little shit. Why don't you speak about how it felt to be out of control and serve some higher power while you were supposed to keep an eye on things.”

“That's a low blow man. It happened when I was investigating the egg. You know i was fucking worried cause you wouldnt show up at all and all the times i waited. You know what happened, Dream. Fuck you making this about us. Why don't you speak, huh? I don't know what happened in that stupid goddamn prison and you came out looking like a fucking mess. I can assume things and this stupid man here doesnt tell me anything,” Punz pointed at Techno. “Says it's not my story to tell. Guess what I should be mad at BOTH OF YOU. YOU BOTH KEEP ME IN THE DARK.”

Punz was fuming. His blue eyes glaring at Techno and Dream angrily who were taken aback at the outburst. Dream hurt him. For real this time. “I have to handle your banter. Be here to patch up both of you because you’re fucking whiny little bitches who refuse to acknowledge anything. Just fucking speak!”

“This is not about me,” Techno frowned.

“Well guess what it is now!” Punz snapped.

What are you doing? We need him to talk, Techno mouthed to Punz who just ignored him. “So Dream… you going first cause man it’ll suck if something happened to any one of us while we’re out doing anything. Nothing’s going to happen to me but as we know you both are always targeting someone somewhere. So fucking find me when you decide to speak.”

Punz stormed towards the door as two pairs of eyes followed his actions hoping for him to stop. The door banged shut as Punz left the house leaving the rivals standing looking at each other.

“So..” Dream started. “I’ll go get him.”

“I’ll get the fireplace working,” Technoblade looked awkwardly as the fireplace and nodded.

“Yeah yeah do that,” Dream walked backwards towards the door.

“And bring those rabbit feet from outside. And wear your cloak before you go out.”

“Yeah. Stew. Punz likes rabbit foot stew. You get that armour we were working on for him..,” Dream hastily fixed the cloak around him.

“I’ll get it upstairs. You go.”

“Okay be right back with mister grumpy.”

“No no. Don't say that to his face.”

Dream chuckled. “I’ll try not to”

Dream gave Techno an apologetic look before closing the door behind him.

“Bruh,” Techno sighed as he went to open the hatch to the basement.

.jiggles mug. spare drunz hc's? 👀🥺💗

hi susan ^_^ [dsmp rp] have some c!drunz you all. first, i started writing and then i blacked out and when i came back it was all written. so idk if you want this or not okay. it got a bit long :3

punz is older than dream ofc. punz first met dream when the younger one had made a into spotlight in the world. ofc the games played across the servers are never fair. blood as to be spilled. the people were chasing dream when punz stepped in and slayed them. he took dream home. he taught how him how the game of life works. you are always the hunted even when you think otherwise. keep few people closer and only look after them and yourself. trust with caution. they were barely teens. both humans

punz went away and dream found his family. they didnt meet for years. dream was in late teens now. with a mask on his face and improved skills he was dominating across championships with george and sapnap. ofc dream has told george and sapnap of his old friend. punz made name for himself, mercenary who only obeys money. you pay you get what you're asking for. people in authority disappearing in the dead of the night. dream found the mercenary in a barn. dream took him home this time. "i made a safe place for us punz. its beautiful." punz smiled but noticed the uncertain face.

punz had dream. punz had a family now. punz felt belonged. punz was on edge. both had barely stepped into adulthood. both fierce loyal and strategic. doing anything to keep the home safe.

every conflict punz was by dream's side. the younger one slightly wary of the mercenary as the wars increased. he knew the other answered to the money. "i'll pay you punz" "i'll serve you then" was their agreement. "you dont backstab?" "all i know is money". both lying. they cared for each other.

everything changed one day. dream stumbled into the house looking like a wreck a book in hand. eyes glancing everywhere. punz held him. dream looked normal the next day and they with technoblade and other brought down the president. soon after the alliances were broken. punz was right there with dream who was backing up techno. punz was scared of whatever that has happened that night.

"he doesnt love me anymore" dream came to their hidden base. punz knew what dream had done. "he says i dont care anymore". punz was the first one to know about dream and george. they spent the evening in silence. dream was reading the old book "i'll pay you punz." desperateness laced his voice. "promise me you'll look after him. you'll look after them"

he was the one who saw dream spiraling. he was the one who stayed all along. payment wasnt there anymore. the books revealed secrets and dream had a plan. punz didnt even have to promise he will be there by his side. both just knew.

punz was cleaning his tower when he saw the axe punz had gave him when they met the very first time. it was the week before the dream went to jail. it was the first time punz had cried before dream. they has both fallen asleep on punz's bed cheeks tear stained. two lonely souls and no one else.

tommy had left the payment in the tower. a sad smile graced punz's face. it was all going according to the plan. dream patted his back. "promise you'll follow the plan" "promise you wont leave me forever" they hugged tightly.

the urge to raise his axe and slay each and everyone present in the vault who was against dream. punz's hand were shaking as dream lost his second life. dream looked at punz for one last time. when no one was looking punz kissed his forehead "take care silly" dream subtly nodded as sam pulled him to his feet ready to be led to pandora.

and punz kept his promise. the evil power corrupted him a bit but he kept his promise. he went to kinoko. sapnap looked happy with karl. george kept on sleeping. punz would go and look at him trying to wake him up but to no avail. is he too late?

punz used to go home going through all the books to make potions to make the evil power go away. i have to keep the promises. he almost died. overdosed. the egg's power left him before it could do. but punz kept on pretending to serve the egg. he needed to keep watch on the activities.

one day he found george in the middle of the forest. worried that he was hurt he ran. but george was just sleeping. "dream?" "he is away" punz wondered if george would even remember this tomorrow. punz weeped.

the three months passed and punz waited in the snow. he waited for so long his lips going blue as the storms passed. he went back home. he went to the place everyday.

tommy died. punz couldnt care less. he was more scared for dream.

punz stood frozen in ground as he saw quackity come out of the prison. clothes buddy and bickering with sam. he had to keep believing in their plan. he had to wait. punz was helpless.

tommy was back. then wilbur. why did dream revive wilbur? punz looked at the prison from far away.

the prison alarms went off. punz ran to the place they had decided to meet. he stayed. he prayed to the universe that it was all fine. dream didnt show up.

sam has called them. sapnap trusted punz. they were a family once. now punz wanted to put a sword through sam's chest and cut off all the ties with sapnap. no. they were going to be a family again.

he hit dream with a steak. no one would notice. ranboo is dead. no no no not ranboo. punz had seen dream after months. he was alive. he looked bloody and broken. techno yelled at dream to hurry out of the area and punz dived into the blue ocean. he ran and swam to the spot. he waited. he ran around. maybe he forgot?

"punz!" "dream!" dream has ran into punz's arms. dream was cold. thin. fragile. punz was warm and dream almost melted. "long time no see buddy!" "i was waiting for you for so long" punz gave dream the armour. "i'll meet you at the tower" "i'll be waiting" they hugged again. punz smiled and ruffled dream's dirty hair. they didnt want to let go.

dream stumbled into the tower. punz was making dinner. they both stared at each other for few mins. "hi" "you're home" "i know" next dream was having a warm shower. then he was give warm food. his hands shook. punz fed him slowly with patience. punz wanted to ask what had happened exactly inside. they both didnt speak of it. punz slept by dream trying to keep away the nightmares. punz was going to rip quackity limb by limb. they kept on going with the plan. dream muttered something about techno. punz was a bit wary.

punz was collecting honey for dream. dream walked in as stared at the shears in hand. he walked back into the house. punz ran after him and found him hyperventilating. dream broke down sometime after punz held him to calm him down. dream told him everything.

"im so sorry i wasnt there im sorry dream" punz cried as the words sunk in. "its not your fault" "i should have stopped you that day, i was always supposed to be there" "you're here now. you know i wouldnt have listened." "i know..." they looked at each other all calmy. "just a bit more time" "just a bit more time."
