Dream is the Mafia boss and Techno meddled too far into their business. Techno is a part of the police force, detective/cop.

Techno has been assigned to this case for weeks and he was finally getting somewhere. This gang, and as far as Techno was aware, were some sort of mafia. They have been terrorizing the city for a while now, stealing things here and there. What Techno did find out was that the ones they usually targeted were bad people. That was something Techno could respect. At every crime scene, a smiley face was often marked to indicate that it was their doing.
Techno had been working overtime and this particular night was no objection. Techno groaned as he gazed upon the papers scattered all over his desk and attached upon the bulletin board. He picked up a letter note he had received from an anonymous tip. It had the meeting spot of what the media has named "The Dream Team."
Techno has deduced that there are at least 10 main members in the mafia. They all work under one main person that is the Mafia Boss. Based on multiple witnesses, they had dirty blonde hair and always wore a mask. A picture that a sketch artist drew showed a round mask with a simple smile drawn upon it. His two main helpers were someone who had a headband and another with round sunglasses.
"Techno mate, why don't you go home and get some rest?" A voice asked, breaking him out of his thoughts. Turning around, Techno saw Phil, his boss, standing in the doorway.
"Alright Phil, Let me just finish up" Techno responded, spinning his chair so he faced his desk again. He heard the door shut as Phil left the room. Picking up the letter note again, he shoved it into his pocket as he stood up. Exiting the room, he saw one of his co-workers, Mega, getting some coffee from the dispenser. He waved to him as he passed him. He saw a couple more people who worked the night shift including Eret and Skeppy as he made his way out of the building. Techno then proceeded to head to the address upon the note.

Techno stared down a dark alleyway. By this point, it was 2 am but Techno wasn't tired. His sleep schedule was already messed up. Techno knew that he was in on this alone. He had decided not to tell any of his co-workers because he didn't want them to get into any of the dangers that Techno was willing to get into. Taking a deep breath, he entered the dark alley.
He walked for a couple of minutes, the only light emitting from his flashlight and the moon. From the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow run by. He whipped his flashlight in that direction but didn't see anyone. Techno saw another shadow come up behind him but when he went to dodge the attack, another person seemed to show up with a heavy blunt object and strike him on the back of his head. Techno felt himself collapse in pain as his head started to pound. His vision started to blur while warm blood trailed down the back of his neck. He heard voices of his attacker murmur to each other before one started to pat him down. They took his gun and found his badge causing them to momentarily go silent. He eventually felt himself sucume to the dark abyss and lose consciousness.

When Techno awoke, he found himself strapped to a chair in a dark, cemented room. It reminded him of an interrogation room. Shifting, he came to the conclusion that his wrist was tightly tied together behind his back. His head had been patched up and he was in a new set of clothing. Who changed him was the least of his concerns as he was still stuck in an unknown location with his hands and feet bound. The creak of the door opening got his attention.
Looking up, he saw and woman with curly hair and some slight horns. She wore a friendly smile that couldn't help but put Techno on the edge.
"Lovely to see that you're awake" she said. Techno remained silent as he stared at her.
"Not much of a talker eh?" she remarked, "No worries, the boss can make anyone talk. I'll let him know that you're awake"
With that, the woman walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her. Techno struggled to get out of the restraints a bit more but ultimately gave up. After waiting for what felt like hours, the door opened once again to what Techno determined to be the mafia boss. Just like the sketches, the man that stood before him had short dirty blond hair and a white mask covering his face.
"Techno was it?" He asked. Techno remained silent and simply continued to stare at him. "I'll take that as a yes. Well, I'm Dream. The Mafia Boss as you know."
Techno's eyes widened as he realized that Dream knew more about him than he intentionally thought.
"It's pretty impressive how much you have uncovered about my organization. I'm quite surprised to say the least. No one has ever managed to figure us out so easily. My inside sources have said that you've spent countless days and nights on my case."
At this point, Techno had looked away and refused to make eye contact. Dream walked up to him and grabbed his chin, forcing him to look at him. "You gonna talk or do I have to make you"
When Techno still refused to talk, Dream simply sighed. He flipped out a pocket knife, surpising Techno. Dream then proceeded to cut the ropes from around his wrists. Techno rubbed his wrists which were red from how tightly he was bound.
"Sorry about how tight they were," Dream said, backing up and putting the knife away, "Safety precautions. You are one of the best fighters on your team after all."
"Thanks" Techno murmured, so quiet that Dream wasn't sure he heard it at first. Dream simply smiled as the lady from earlier returned to the room. She brought in a chair for Dream before exiting and returning with two bowls of soup.
"That's Puffy by the way, she does more of the in-base duties" Dream said, noticing Techno's curiosity. Pushing one of the bowls of soup in front of Techno, he settled down to eat the other.
"Eat" Dream said as he started to eat his. Techno continued to stare at the bowl before reluctantly pushing it away. "You're not hungry? I promise it's not poisoned in any way"
Techno shrugged in response but his stomach decided that it was the perfect time to growl. Dream smirked and pushed the bowl back to Techno. He slowly picked up the spoon, shaking slightly, and hesitantly brought the spoon up to his lips. Dream continued to stare at him as he took the first sip.
"Umm... Dream?" Techno's words brought him out of his trance. He realized that he had unintentionally reached his hand out and grasped some of Techno's pink hair. Dream stared into the red ruby eyes of Techno before letting go and backing up.
"I-I'm sorry" Dream said as he took his hands back. A light blush could be seen settling on Techno's cheeks causing Dream to smile. Standing up, he walked back around the table and whipped out his knife again. Cutting the rest of the restraints off, Dream pulled Techno into a hug, catching him off guard.
Dream leaned into his ear and whispered, "I'm trusting you Techno. Don't go running back to your cop friends or I'll be very upset"
Dream's breath in Techno's ears sent shivers down his spine. Shuddering, he simply nodded as Dream backed up.
"Thanks Darling. I have a room all set up for you to live in"
"But- I- What about my dog Floof?"
"Don't worry, I'll have someone on my team look after him. Tomorrow, you'll go back to work as if this interaction never happened to avoid suspicion. Then return here for the night. This is your home now."
Techno simply nodded as Dream draped his arms over him and led him out of the room. They eventually made their way to a room where Techno was to stay.
"Hey... Sorry if I seemed a bit rude. I suppose the stress has really started to get to me." Dream said with a chuckle as he leaned in the doorway. Techno on the other hand was looking around and taking in the room.
"It's alright" Techno responded as he ran his hand along the blanket. Dream just realized how monotone and deep his voice was. Granted, it wasn't as deep as Corpse but it was definitely monotoned.
Techno crawled onto the bed and turned away from Dream. Dream smiled as he looked at the pinkette laying on the bed.
"Get some rest Techy" Dream said as he exited the room and shut the door. He definitely liked the pink detective and cop much more than he thought he would.
Techno decided to stay and do as he says. Just for a while longer so he got a better understanding of what he was going against. He also wanted to figure out what this new feeling was, the one he only seemed to feel around Dream.
