"What is going on George?" asks Dream while examining his surroundings.
George feels a warm hand move to his tight shoulder and he shutters.
"George, talk to me." George takes a deep breath and looks over at Dream. He sees the moons reflection in Dream's glossy, ceramic mask and shuts his eyes tightly.
"I know this isn't real. It's just another one of the dreams" Dream tilts his head and moves his hand off of George's shoulder and places it on the wet, cold grass.
"George, this is real. I am here. I am with you." George doesn't say anything. Dream shifts his body towards George and lifts his mask just enough to see his mouth. Dream leans in towards George.
"You know why I am here George." The cold Brighton breeze makes Dream's muscles twitch. George notices.
"Stop." George scoots away from Dream.
"Why do you think about me so much George? Is it because we talk everyday? Is it because you enjoy my company? Is it because I make you feel?" Dreams words caught George's attention. He looks up to the sky. Full moon. He had always been interested in astronomy.
"Pretty moon tonight" Dream whispers acknowledging George's stare.
"Yeah I guess. I'm just waiting for it to happen."
"For what to happen?"
"For it all to end. The dreams, the thoughts, the feelings."
"Maybe it isn't supposed to end George" Dream leans in again. "Maybe it isn't supposed to end" he repeats under his breath.
George wakes to the loud screech signaling that his phone is ringing. He rolls over and grabs his phone. "Sippitus Sappitus" it reads. he picks up.
"Hey Georgie!" says Sapnap
"Do you need something?" George says, partially happy and partially upset that the dream had ended. The dreams had never gotten that deep before. They usually just ended with Dream confused on where they were at and how he got there. This dream was different. He knew it was a dream, but it felt like so much more. Like the universe was trying to tell him something this time.
"Hello? George? You still there?" George puts the phone back up to his ear.
"Oh, sorry. Still here, just spaced out a bit" George confirms
"Is everything alright? You seem a little off. Like different." Sapnap had always been a really good friend to George, but sometimes he tends to try and push farther than he should.
"Yeah, I'm good. You woke me up, you know"
"Oh sorry Georgie bear. Didn't mean to ruin your beauty sleep, and trust me, you need it."
"Oh shut up Sapnap" George says in a mocking tone. "I hate you"
"You know you love me Gogy." George can hear his smile through the phone.
"So seriously, Did you need something?"
"Just wanted to know if you wanted to be in my stream with me and Dream?"
"With you and Dream?"
"Yep."
"Yeah sure, talk to you later" George hangs up and puts the phone back down on the dresser beside his bed.
"With me and Dream" George thinks.
Dream.
