Dream slept peacefully.. his wings spread out as he slept on his side.
"Mhm..." he happily slept... ignoring everything around him.
George yawned.. rubbing his eyes after a few moments...
The brunette grew thirsty- he wanted to get some water..
"Hm..?" George heard a small click.. what was that..?
He sat up.. rubbing his eyes... was someone there...? What was that noise....?
George looked over- looking around the room.
"Hello...?" He rubbed his face.
"Is someone there..?"
There was a long silence.. but before George was about to lay back down- he was startled when an individual lowered down in front of him.
George was about to yelp- but his mouth was covered by another.
"Please don't scream!-" they aggressively whispered... shaking his head.
"Shh!" He mumbled.
"Sorry!"
George's eyes widened.. slowly looking up and seeing the snake like creature- with.. his upper half being human.
"I..." he quickly grew worried...
"Sorry! Sorry!" He softly whispered.
"I didn't mean to scare you!" He waved his hands.. shaking his head.
George stared at the snake like creature.
"What are you.." he interlocked his fingers.. wincing faintly.
"Sorry.." they held there hand out.
"I'm ponk... we've never had to chance to meet." He smiled softly.
"I'm not supposed to be in here.. sorry-"
George carefully shook ponks hand..
"I'm George..." he was extremely confused... soon calming down.
"I would have waited till morning.. but I came to see if either of you were awake." Ponk carefully lowered himself to the ground.. coiling into a ball.
"I didn't mean to intrude."
George looked at ponks black.. red and yellow tail.
"It's okay.. but I don't know how Dream would feel about this." He didn't know who this person was.
"I've heard he doesn't like people in his room."
"Well- I'm apart of the crew.. and I was just really curious to meet you." Ponk looked over.. seeing Dream asleep on the bed with his wing covering him.
"I did not expect Dream to be sleeping here." He looked a little shocked.
"Little scary."
"I kind of drag him here." George knew he couldn't tell the truth with them wanting to read.
"I hurt myself and he just stayed here... and I forced him to sit here."
Ponk nodded his head.. soon looking around.
"I was just curious to come see you and say Hi, but I'll leave you two be now." He waved.
"We should talk more soon!"
George blinked as he watched ponk quickly leave.
"So strange." He mumbled.
"He's a curious one."
George jumped.. looking over at the individual next to him.
"You are awake..?" He tilted his head faintly.
"Mhm." Dream lowered his wing, showing his upper half of his face.
"I am." He nodded his head.
"You look weird from this angle." George tilted his head, looking over at dreams face.
"Your eyes are weird." He looked strange... he looked scary from this angle.
Dream cocked a brow.
"Why do you cover your face." George rested his hands on dreams wing, trying to peak over.
"You look good." He was puzzled.
"I prefer the mystery look~" Dream teased, rolling his eyes.
"Adds character." He hummed.
"Really?" George blinked.
"No." Dream scoffed.. of course that wasn't the reason.
"Then.. what is the reason?" George leaned onto dreams wing.. looking down at the blonde.
"I wanna know." He frowned.
"People would hunt me down if they've seen my face." Dream turned around.. hovering his wing over George.
"Some of my crew haven't even seen my face- it's dangerous."
George gave Dream confused look.
"Then.. why show me your face..?" He got comfortable under dreams wing.
"I don't know you."
"Ehh.. just a feeling." Dream shrugged.. shaking his head.
"I'll tell you eventually." He smiled.. resting his head down.
"But not right now."
George grew curious.. making his way closer to Dream.
"What??" He placed his hands on dreams chest.. trying to figure out what Dream was going to say.
Dream chuckled.. holding his wing over George.
"I'll tell you soon I said." He smiled.
"Tell him what?"
Dreams eyes snapped open.. quickly sitting up.
"Sapnap?!" His face burned bright red.
"What are you doing in here?"
George fell onto dreams lap- letting out a huff as he fell..
Sapnap cocked a brow as he walked in.. using his foot to shut the door behind him.
"I came to tell you that we stole the goods successfully." He looked down at George.
"But you seem to be busy."
Dream quickly used his wing to shove George off his lap.. spreading his wing out to cover the brunette.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." He huffed.
George blinked.. sitting behind dreams wing.
"What's going on..?" He briefly peaked over dreams wing.. looking over at Sapnap.
Sapnap rolled his eyes.
"Your mask is off." He pointed at his face.. signalling that Dream didn't have his mask on.
"Care to explain."
Dream was about to speak- but had no words... what was he supposed to say.
"I took it off." George mumbled quietly.
Dream and Sapnap both looked over.. both equally shocked.
"Oh?" Sapnap furrowed his brows, crossing his arms.
"I got curious.. so when he fell asleep I snuck up on him and took off his mask." George sounded sympathetic.. trying to hide behind dreams wing.
"He was just about to scold me."
Dream blinked.. staring at George..
"Is that so?" Sapnap crossed his arms.
"Then dream doesn't mind telling you what he was going to say." He was very curious.... Mostly at the fact he wanted Dream to admit that he was connected with him.
Dream furrowed his brows.
"I think me and you need to have a chat outside." He reached for his mask.. glaring at Sapnap.
"Mhm." Sapnap tilted his head.
"Maybe for a fly would be better." He flicked his wings out.
"Maybe it would be better." Dream placed his mask on.. standing up.
"Then I can talk with you." He made his way towards the door.
"I'll be back george."
George grew confused.. watching Dream making his way towards the door...
"What?" He sat on the bed.. extremely confused what was going on.
.: Dream POV :.
Once Dream made his way out of his room- he flew up towards the crows nest... that's where Sapnap was most likely.
He landed on the railing- looking at his friend that was laying down in his spot..
"Now- what the fuck was that?!" Dream snapped, pointing at Sapnap.
"SERIOUSLY?!" He growled... seeing Sapnap getting comfy.
"Don't speak too loud now- or people might know about your thing." Sapnap whispered, smirking faintly.
"I'm your best friend for a reason, I'm supposed to tease you for this." He pointed at Dream.
Dreams face heated up under his mask.
"Well Stop it, I'm not going to tell him!" He aggressively whispered.
"I don't like him like that."
"Mhm." Sapnap rolled his eyes.. leaning back.
"Of course.." he waved his hand briefly.
"Definitely."
Dream let out a small sigh.. shaking his head.
"I can't..." he looked down.. he couldn't tell George.
"Why?" Sapnap adjusted himself, cocking a brow faintly.
"Why don't you tell him?" He blinked... why is Dream such a coward.
"I lost my temper around him- and I don't want him to continuously see that side of me." Dream placed his hand on his chest, shaking his head.
"I hurt him pretty badly." He sighed.
"What did you do exactly..?" Sapnap grew more confused.. tilting his head to the side.
"If you don't mind me asking." He adjusted his wings.
"I yelled at him- and hurt his wrist pretty bad." Dream hit the centre of his mask.
"All he wanted to do was get a book from the market... and I nearly left the bag behind even though he wanted it."
"Did you fix it at least?" Sapnap didnt really care.
"Yes, I apologized." Dream let out a small sigh.
Sapnaps eyes widened.
"YOU?!" He pointed.
"You apologized?!"
"Yes?" Dream grew confused.
"Of course I did?" He rubbed the back of his head.
"I did something wrong."
"You never apologize." Sapnap said firmly, glaring at Dream.
"Not unless you care." He pointed.
Dream shrugged.
"I felt bad.." he mumbled quietly.
"Then why don't we sail to one of those random islands and you can make it up to him." Sapnap waved his hand.. grinning faintly..
"Maybe take him to the next town over."
"Maybe.. but I should probably head back" Dream yawned softly.
"I'm so tired..." he stretched his wings..
"I'm going to head back."
.: George POV :.
George sat on the bed in confusion.. did he do something to piss either of them off.
"I hope they are okay.." he yawned.. shaking his head.
He looked around before looking up.. seeing the hammock like bed.. oh..? He hasn't seen something like that before..
(Something like this but a wooden frame)
George had a hopeful gaze, quickly perking up.
"I wanna sleep up there." He wanted to know what it was life to sleep up there.
"Hopeful my medication won't wear off"
He grabbed the blanket.. carefully wrapping it around his shoulder and body..
George made his way towards the book shelf... this will probably go horribly wrong trying to climb up.
