Just Us and The Stars// Dreamnotfound

Fields

"What do you mean that you have been here before? I thought you have never been to Florida?" Dream stated, very confused.

"I haven't."

"Then what do you mean?" Dream says as the walk towards the middle of the large field.

"I have been here in my dreams." George says, examining the area deeper. "I always thought maybe it was somewhere in Brighton though."

"Dreams? As in more than one dream?"

"Oh, um, yes. It was sort of a reoccurring dream, I guess."

"What happened in your 'reoccurring dream'?"

"Well, you were always there. You would ask me where we were and how you got there. Then you would say-"

"George, look!" Dream interrupts, pointing up to the sky. He puts his arm across George's chest and pushes him to the ground, forcing him to lay flat on the grassy ground. "Full moon"

"That. That's what you would say." The cold Orlando breeze made both of them shiver.

"Is that it?"

"Usually, sometimes it would go deeper than that." George informs him, not wanting to give him all of the details.

"How?" George goes silent for a moment deciding whether to tell Dream. Dream notices George's uncomfortable expression. "If you don't mind me asking."

"Well, you knew my thoughts, somehow. You asked me about why I liked astronomy. I told you because I thought it was pretty, which is the truth. You knew it was more than that though. You knew there was a deeper reason."

"What is the real reason? Why do you like the moon and stars so much, George?"

"The moon makes me feel connected to everyone, no matter how far away they are from me, like how you were before we met up. The stars make me feel safe, like nothing can hurt me. They also help me stay in the present, rather than think of all the bad from the past." George says shyly. "I know it's kind of stupid."

"I've never thought about it like that, that's actually really cool, George." Dream smiles at George. There was a moment of silence, making them both feel awkward. "So, everything is the same as in the dream?" Dream says, breaking the silence.

"Pretty much. I couldn't see your face though. You were wearing this ceramic mask with your signature smiley face on it."

"Wait, stay here." Dream says, getting up. He starts to walk away. George didn't want Dream to leave his side at that moment. He wanted Dream to stay right next him, but he watched as Dream walked away, getting into his car.
