Dream pinched the bridge of his nose, carefully unlocking the door.
"Yes?" He opened the door, leaning against the door frame soon after.
"What.. what is so important...?"
-
Karl glanced back, watching the baby griffin happily stumbling around on deck- chasing after Sam who gladly played with the smaller.
"Cute" he mumbled.
"Yes?"
Karl jumped, quickly turning back.
"Sorry to interru-" he cut himself off when he saw the captain didn't have a mask.
His eyes widened in shock.. quickly snapping his mouth shut for what he was going to say.
"You.." Karl pointed at Dream.
"I'm trying to rest... what is the matter...?" Dream rubbed the side of his face.
"Why are you banging on my door??" He scrunched his nose.
"I- yes! Sorry!-" Karl quickly nodded.
"I assumed you were only reading- I wanted to talk to you regarding the little one." He looked back.
"Frost? What about him." Dream furrowed his gaze.
"Did he do something wrong..?"
"Tommy found a create of old items we stole in the past.. filled with clothes, items and what not." Karl held up a small stuffed animal.
"It's a bunny... but we didn't know if it would be okay to give it too him." He smiled.
Dream looked down, carefully grabbing it from Karl.
"hm.." he looked over Karl.. looking on deck.
Frost was happily hopping around.. padding his feet on the deck to try and mimic Sam.
"I'll let George give it too him." Dream looked down at it.
"He should be the one to hand it over." He hummed.
But whilst he was looking at the bunny.. he didn't notice next to him.
"What's wrong..?"
Dream looked over, seeing George fully open the door.
"Would you like to give this to frost..?" He held the bunny plushie towards George.
"Karl found it."
George perked up, grasping the plushie.
"Me..?" He grew confused.
Dream nudged his head.. his smile growing when he saw the look on George's face.
George looked over seeing Karl moved to the side... the shapeshifters happily nodding.
"I guess I'll be back." He walked off towards frost.
The two watched as George walked away...
Dream smiled, leaning against the doorway.. he was in awe.
Karl glanced at George before at Dream..
"Soo.. are you-" he happily smiled.
"Yes." Dream nodded his head, looking back at Karl.
"George is my lover." He tilted his head.
Karl quickly perked up.. his smile growing.
.: George POV :.
George slowly made his way over, watching frost play with the centaur..
Punz must've handed frost off for someone else to play with him.. as he isn't on deck anymore.
Frost hopped up, trying to grab Sam.. his tail swayed as his wings flapped.
George smiled, walking up to the two.
"Seems like you both are having fun." He watched Sam pad around.
Sam looked up, nodding his head.
"Mhm." He hummed.
"He's been trying to mimic me."
Frost happily looked up, recognizing the brunette instantly.
The smaller happily giggled before stumbling towards George, hugging onto George's leg.
"He should be getting tired very quick." Sam hummed, stretching his arms.
"We were playing for quite a bit." He looked down at frost.
Frost happily nuzzled George's leg.
George nodded, carefully crouching down onto the ground.
"Hello frost." He smiled, hiding the toy next to him.
Frosts tail swayed side to side as his feathered ears perked up.
"Ge-" he tried speaking.
George smile grew, carefully picking up the bunny plushie.
"Here, this is for you frost." His tail swayed side to side.
Frost tilted his head, grabbing the plushie.. he was confused what it was... but it felt soft and squishy.
"Mm.. min-e?" He looked up, tilting his head again.
"All yours." George nodded his head, happily picking frost up.
"Let's get you to sleep." He smiled.
"And let Sam here rest."
Frost hugged the plushie as he rubbed his eye... leaning against George.
George rested the smaller on his shoulder.
"Thank you for playing with him." He glanced at Sam.
"I appreciate it."
"It was no problem." Sam smiled, stretching his four legs.
"But I'm going to have a nice nap after I sail.." he walked towards the stairs.
.: Dream and George POV :.
"Awww!" Karl happily smiled, pointing at Dream.
"I knew you liked him!" He teased.
"That's so sweet!"
Dream had an unimpressed look.. scrunching his nose... George needs to hurry up.
"You have to tell me everything!" Karl interlocked his fingers.
"I have to know!!" He's been trying to get Dream to talk these past 5 minutes... anything about him and George.
"No, you don't." Dream glanced over, watching George carefully walk past him and into the room with frost.
"It's nothing important." He backed up.
"Oh come on!" Karl frowned, holding his hands to his chest.
"Pleaseee!" He begged.
"I'll tell you later, right now I need to sleep.." Dream flicked his wing up, closing the door behind him.
"Goodnight-"
-
Dream rubbed his face.. a tad bit concerned now that he's decided to go maskless...
"Oh my god..." he groaned.
"You alright..?"
Dream turned around, seeing George sitting on the bed with frost in his lap.
"Just exhausted." He made his way over.
"That's all."
Frost looked over, seeing Dream happily lay on the bed.
"Loo-k!" He held up his bunny plushie.
"It's cute." Dream ruffled the top of frosts head.. his smile growing.
Frost nuzzled the bunny, hugging it happily.
"Got it for me!" He pointed at George... tugging on his shirt.
George happily smiled.. his tail swaying back and forth.
"Actually your favourite pers-" he was cut off when Dream covered his face with his wings.
"Shhh.. he's happy." Dream laid down next to george.
"He needs at least one mature parental figure." He rested his head on the pillow.
George looked down at Dream.
"He's more of your child." He ruffled the smallers hair.
"You are the same species at least."
Dream shrugged.
"And..? Even if we are." He glanced up.
"Family is who stays with you and takes care of you..."
"So technically you can be frosts temporary father!" George perked up, placing frost on dreams wing.
"Until we find his real one at least-" he smiled.
"I'll only be considered that if you are also considered the other parent." Dream watched as frost continued to play with his bunny plushie.
"That's fine with me." George picked the smaller up.. sliding off the bed.
"Im going to put frost to sleep on the lounger." He carefully balanced at the ship swayed.
"We don't necessarily have anywhere for him to sleep.
Dream nodded..
"Mhm.." he hummed.
George carefully placed frost on the large lounger.
"You should get some sleep.." he hummed.. adjusting the pillows and blanket.
Frost rubbed his eyes as he yawned... hugging the bunny plushie.
He laid down, snuggling into the warmth of the pillow.
George tucked the blanket over frost.
"Goodnight." He patted frost on the head..
Once frost closed his eyes, George made his way back towards the blonde.
George slid into the bed.. resting next to dream..
"Mm.." he grabbed dreams wing, pulling it over him.
Dream smiled, wrapping his arm around George.
"It might be stormy so the ship will sway quite a lot." He mumbled.
"Just ignore it."
"That's fine,I'll stay close." George clung onto Dream, closing his eyes..
Dream rested his head on George's.
"I really do love you." He whispered quietly.
"I love you too..."
