Burn For You

Chapter Three

Sapnap POV

The mission was simple, go and show technoblade the way to the base. Techno was known for his skills and not easy to find. Those that did find him usually ending up dead

But we should be the ones to survive hopefully. It started quiet just walking to our destination in silence watching the sun rise to our right over the trees.

But silence doesn't last forever, it started quiet with dream making small jokes to George and making him giggle then George would go serious again but before long they are both being idiots 

I watch the two idiots laugh and joke around as I walk ahead of them, I can already tell that Dream is starting to like George although George is kinda clueless about these situations

I sigh lightly, the constant flirting behind me is driving me insane.

Me and George have a mission to do, and that's all I really want to focus on right now. Not the damn green man.

The sun starts  to fall and I quickly start setting up camp in the forest near a river so easy access.

George starts on the tents, I look at George and he nods it's our signal that I'll be back

Quickly heading off deeper into the forest. I can tell Dream had questions about the actions just then but I have no obligation to answer them either.

The night was more dangerous then the day if you were careful something would kill you. Skeletons or creeper so be it.

Ahead of me I notice a cow, perfect to food I think, of course we have food but we should be trying to ration it so anything extra helps more.

Years of hunting and being alone helped me survive I guess

I scan the area looking for mobs nothing around, a quick swing and everything is over.

The cow is dead.

I pull it over my shoulder and lug it back to camp. Where I see Dream and George laughing at something again and the fire not started

I mumble some curses under my breath, feeling like I'm the only one that wants to survive here and drop the cow loudly catching the attention of both

I glare at them both kneeling down, to re work on the fire they didn't bother to put together

"I'm sorry sapnap, I was getting it lit I swear" George spoke "sure whatever" I shrug

"Dude chill it's just a fire" Dream comments that pisses me off before I can stop myself the words come out

"I don't remember asking for your fucking opinion on how to fucking survive"

Everyone goes silent, Dream just looks away angry. I sigh again

"George we need water please" I ask my tone tired from today in general

Dream looks over to George curious when he doesn't move yet flicks his hand toward the river and 3 bubbles of water come toward us, settling in a bucket we had spare

"You guys have powers?" He questions

"Of course" George giggles then Dream looks towards me angry still yet curious about my power I ignore him for a bit, setting the fire wood up making sure the fire won't be able to spread.

I make eye contact with him for a second, night had fallen now and I could tell he was getting cold now. The smartass as being a ass about the fire now look at him

Wind blew and they both shivered, dreams eyes trained on me.

I rub my hands together as a glow admits from them I have a small fire in my hand

I have the fire go to the wood and watch it light up our fire pit and burn, i look around making sure we have enough wood for the night

"Your a fire user?" Dream questions as I nod

"That's rare" he comments, people would have generic power like earth or water then there was more powerful ones that were unique like fire.

The chatter of George and dream lasted a while before George headed over to bed in his tent and left me and Dream to ourselves

"So why sapnap?" He asks trying to make conversation

I pinch the bridge of my nose "look Dream it's obvious we won't get along so leave me be"

He doesn't reply expect seems to be last in thought for a while then repeats the same question

"Dream-

He cuts me off "Look I would rather try then just give up. I don't give up so suck it up and let's try to get along" he says almost commanding me

I sigh again "Sapnap came from the person I love" I reply

"Ah where are they?" He questioned

"Hopefully dead" I reply numb, Dream seems shocked at my answer

"Life isn't a fairy tale dream, sometimes people are better off dead" I comment with a bitter smile

"Are you one of those people?" He questions me , the smiley mask seeming to frown itself

"Yes" I reply "but why?"

"Because being powerful doesn't mean you can protect everyone, sometimes you destroy everything you care about" I looked toward him again.

Shaking my head softly and getting up and ruffling his hair "you should sleep dreamy" I tiredly smile he seems happy to have some positive response from me

I chuckle at his antics as he enters his tent I lean on the tree closest to me

"Sapnap?"
"Yeah?"
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight Dream"
