The man from my Dreams | DNF Prince AU

Part 1

The present

Clay is now sprinting down the castle halls, foggy eyes getting aggressively whipped away as he knows guards are walking around the halls. Clay knows Bad didn't mean anything by it, but now all the blonde can think about is how he really has nobody else. Clay barges into his room, shutting his door and walking to his bed. The tall prince climbs in, getting back to his much needed sleep. The prince often turns to sleeping as a resort in his sadness. Thinking over about how the morning took a turn for the worst.

Clay sniffs the air. It smells like? flowers?? Clay opens his eyes, squinting as he is now looking straight into the sun. He turns his head. No longer feeling his pillow, but a pile of soft flowers under him. He sits up, and looks around curiously. "Where am I.." The blonde mumbles to himself. "A flower forest dummy." A smooth voice behind Clay is now heard. Startled the blonde turns around fast, looking into the milky brown eyes... wait eye?

Heterochromia wasnt much heard of where Clays from, hes just seen photos in books. The sitting boy has a milky brown eye and a soft blue eye, both shimmering under the sun. "How pretty" the blonde mumbles again. This time not even sure if he'd said anything. "How'd I get here??" Clay asks, "I was just asleep" Now by the look on the brunettes face, he probably sounds crazy. "I don't know, maybe you woke up??" The brunette clearly doesn't understand much of what happened. "No I mean I was asleep in my bed in the castle and now im here, sleeping under the sun in a flower forest. We don't even have any flower forests in Moonlight kingdom from my knowledge." The fluffy haired boy is now quirking his eyebrow at the blonde. "Moonlight kingdom? Castle? Are you feeling okay? I can get you some water." The brunette now grabbing the blondes arm. The short boy is resting Clay's back and head into his lap, now rubbing the blondes forehead in search of a fever. Well that escalated quickly. Not wanting to move himself or startle the pretty boy, Clay doesn't say anything regarding their position, or how much he really is enjoying this. He is sure to be seen as weird then. "I could do with some water, but why do you ask if im okay? I know my story sounds bizarre but honestly It's like im dreaming." The taller boy states. He hope he isnt coming off as a greedy homeless person that just wants food, water and place to sleep. "I ask because you seem unaware of where you are or where you came from, you state you were just in bed and now you are here and I honestly don't know of any kingdoms in this area, If anything we are miles upon miles away from any. Most people around here just live in villages or cottages." The brunette has worry in his voice. "You sound worried.." Clay asks, any bit of nervousness can be sought out instantly. "My name's George," George lightly shoves Clay onto the flowers and off of his lap. Standing up now, George reaches his hand out for Clay to grab as balance. Once up, the blonde feels dizzy. Wobbling a bit he realizes he is still holding George's hand. A sunkissed blush running across his freckley face. "The names Clay" The blonde says, smiling. George smiles back and turns loosening, but not letting go of Clay's hand. They start walking through the pretty flower field. Clay thinks its pretty. It reminds him of his friend's flower garden by her house. Nikki always grew the best flowers.

Yawning Clay and George are STILL making their way through the flower forest. To Clay's perception of time, it's been an hour, to George's it's only been around 20 minutes. Now coming close to a pretty forest they don't change direction. They keep going into the forest. Clay has bad memories with forests. There is one near Moonlight. It's where he'd play with his friends, Bad, Nikki, and Nick. They all had nicknames but after growing apart, the blonde isn't sure any of them are even close enough to use them anymore. Clay went by Dream, Nick as Sapnap, Bad was already a nickname, and Nikki as well... Nikki, but they always called her flower girl. They thought it was funny back then, but now Clay only sees it as ridiculous.
