ch12: secret

~Dream POV

"georgie, come on let's go."

"go where?"

"it's a surprise.. let's go"

"wha-"

I started walking out the door before he can start asking too many questions. I'm barely in the car before I hear him start to question me.

"dream where? no hints? just tellll meee", he runs on his sentence hoping for a reply.

"it's a secret george."

He sighs as I back out of the parking lot. The ride is pretty long, about 1.5 hours. After only 15 minutes of driving I turn to see George asleep, head against the window. At the next red light I reach in the back seat and pull out a blanket, covering George quickly.

For the next hour I'm just alone. Humming a song that pops up on the radio every now and then. But as we get closer to the spot, I get more excited. George wakes up when we're about ten minutes away, perfect time. He looked out his window and just from the sight I hear him whisper..

"woah.."

This wasn't even the beginning of it. He saw the birds and the fields but he would love what I'm showing him even more.

~Georg POV

As we approach the secretive spot I can feel myself getting anxious. We stop driving and Dream parks the car, it's a bit of a weird spot, he just parked it in the middle of a field..

"dream where are we going?"

"i swear we're almost there."

We both got out of the car and met at the passenger side. I grabbed his hand and we started walking. It was so beautiful, but apparently Dream had more to show so I couldn't admire the fields for long.

We approach a cluster of trees and Dream turns towards me.

"ready?"

I nod eagerly and he covers my eyes with his hands.

"dream!"

"shh quiet.. don't worry georgie. i've got you."

He leads me in, I step carefully since my vision is restricted.

"okay.. this is it."

He takes his hands off my eyes. I let out a loud gasp. The flowers are the first thing I see, it's a bit bland for me but I know Dream would be able to see all of it, and I bet it was beautiful. Next thing I notice we're the deer, the family of them to my right seemed friendly. They didn't run when I gasped.

"sorry.. i wish i could've brought you earlier, it's better in the morni-"

He abruptly stops his sentence from the sudden hug I gave him. I squeezed so hard I'm pretty sure I hurt him. No one has ever done something like that for me. Dream is always putting me first.

"dream.. you don't understand how much i love it.. thank you clay"

"you're welcome georgie.. i love you"

"i love you too.."

This time Dream leaned in and kissed my forehead. I never knew how much I needed that. It's like all of my troubles and worries were taken care of by that one touch of his soft lips.

~Dream POV

I don't know if it made the moment better or worse but right then and there it started raining. George smiled, causing me to follow suit. I try and focus on the raindrops as they fell onto the vibrant grass. The smell of the fresh rain filled my nose. I normally find myself drifting into the sound, the noise. Whenever there's rain it's all I can think about but, right now, the thing on my mind is George.

"good thing you're wearing a coat", George said.

"yeah.. good thing"

*start song*

George opened his arms wide, looked to the sky and spun around. I admired the rain dripping from his clothes and hair. His brown jumper turning even darker. Well technically it was my brown jumper.. but he likes it more than I do.

He walked closer to me and put his arms around my neck. I instinctively wrapped my arms around his waist.

We start to rock back and forth as George's mouth once again emits a beautiful tune

"darling ive been trying
to hold you down
but fear in my heart
still lingers round"

His head rests on my chest, and I rest my chin on his head. We pull closer than we've ever been.

"although the fear deep in my heart
still drives me over the edge
it is you the want to hold in bed
should the sun shine tomorrow
ill be holding my head
cause i've been hoping for raindrops instead"

The words fill my ears like no other words have before. Every sound, every rhythm, every key, every note. I hear it.

Very suddenly George looked up at me. I smiled and chuckled but apparently George was upset. I saw a frown on his face grow wide.

"god dream!

you just don't get it!"

What is he talking about. Oh god

he hates you dream. good going. what did you do now?

"georg-  what?"

"you just don't understand."

"george?"

"god, i'm giving you all of these signs and you haven't picked up on any of them!"

"what signs georgie?"

"you are so oblivious clay.. what signs?! how about cuddling you! maybe holding your hand! maybe even calling you hot? oh i know! kissing you're forehead.. singing you to sleep!

i cant even say how i feel knowing you can't reciprocate it. i'm sorry."

This is it.

He tried to walk away but before he took his second step I grabbed his wrist and pulled him facing towards me and cupped my hands around his beautiful face.

"shut up george. you have no idea how long i've wanted this. now can i kiss you?"

He violently nodded and I leaned in to finally connect our lips. It's cliche to say it was electrifying but it was. The way his touch used to burn me, turned into sparks. Sparks between our lips, that we both shared happily.

Standing in the pouring rain, making out for the first time. It seems like a fantasy. But this was all reality.

I pulled away to breathe, getting flustered over this simple, yet needed, kiss.

"nono dream.. please keep going."

He smiled and I brought him back in for a kiss. Our hands traveling upon eachothers soaked bodies. Our hair dripping on the others face as our lips connect through strings of saliva.

It couldn't be more perfect.

Neither of us wanted the moment to end. But we had to get back home at some point. Once we finally managed pause for a second, we realized we needed to go and ran back to the car. Once I was in the car, the kiss almost felt fake. But there he was, the guy I was kissing not to long ago sitting right beside me.

I grab his chin with one hand and turn him to face me, he nodded without me asking anything so I knew he wanted to kiss again. But a loud crash of thunder scared us both, reminding me we should probably get home.

The drive home was filled with a lot of smiles and stares. Some hand holding and lots of singing. Today was the most confusing yet best day ever and I couldn't explain why.

Well I could actually.. George
