Burn For You

Chapter Five

Dream's POV

After a hug session outside, we all moved inside with techno and sapnap moving to a corner somewhere else to talk

I was left with George who was cleaning with medium, a object that is imbued with magic.

For once I didn't start a conversation with George rather wanting to go over the last few days. George told me to give sapnap a chance

Sapnap seemed like an asshole to be honest, he was constant glaring at us and annoyed especially at the start of the journey

But after I saw George use his power I was in awe. He really was a angel, water magic had a lot of healing magic within it although not use good as real holy magic that was centred around light and healing

Then when Sapnap lit the fire,
My eyes were in real awe. Something warm wrapped me up. A distant memory

I tried to get along with him, but he seemed to wary of me or maybe it's just he's wary of new people. He doesn't seem to hate me yet I can't say he completely likes me either.

When I held his magic, it was warm it warmed me to my core in the tired gaze.

I wanted to get closer to Sapnap, he's George's friend and I want to be of help. If I can.

I remember when he fainted, he looked like he had seen a ghost and was about to fall. My heart never raced so much. My mind was a mess, I couldn't think. George pulled me out of my state and we made it here

But the thing in my mind is Sapnap, the nightmare he was having. Tossing and turning in the bed, sweat everywhere.

I had to wake him and when I did, i didn't see a tough strong person I saw someone that was afraid.

For someone to be strong yet so afraid. I can't help but wonder what the hell happened to you.

I look over to sapnap and techno talking with techno hands on Sapnaps shoulder

I felt a feeling bubble in my stomach, what was the feeling? I couldn't put my finger on it. I shook my head and looked towards George instead "let me help Georgie" I smile knowing he can't see it as he nods

Back to Sapnap's POV

Me and techno both let the room after coming back inside to talk, it had been many years since seeing each other.

"How has life been sap?" He asked I shook my head and chuckled, he chuckled after as well.

How could we not? We know how fucked yo the world was. Me and techno were the ones to destroy it all.

I guess I'm glad to have found a old friend.

"What about that guy?" Techno muses interested eyes over to dreams who seems to be lost in thought

"He seems to be sticking around" I mumble as techno frowns "is he even trustworthy?"

"I don't know" I shrug as techno puts a hand on my shoulder

"Sap, I say this as your friend. Don't get close to someone you might get them killed." His monotone voice spoke

I know, I shouldn't trust this guy he wears a mask hiding his face and hasn't shown us any sort of power at all.

Just how much trust can I put in him?

"I'll pack up my things, we can leave tomorrow" techno said ruffling my hair and walking away, I look passed him to see Dream and George together again.

I sigh before I hear words coming out of techno mouth

"Why should I trust you" a sword pointed at dreams throat

"Techno!" I yell running over to them
"Stop it!"

"Sap, you know to little about his guy" he looks at me frowning

"That doesn't mean you put a knife to his throat" I yell hastily techno was doing this to protect me, I know he was but I don't want Dream to die either

I pulled Dream backwards having him crash into a worried George, as I stood in front of techno

"Sap..." he called eyes wide

"I know" I replied simply my mouth formed a straight line

I turned to face Dream with a stone face and heavy heart "what do you want from us? Why are you here?" I asked

He seemed surprised by the question but stood up

"I've been exploring the world on my own, but I've also been running from something although I can't remember what" he started nervous if we would believe me

He was reaching out to be trusted and I wanted to trust him but I knew it can't go any further than mutual trust.

"I can control wind and honestly? I don't even know what you guys are doing or why I'm here" he seemed to speak a bit quicker

"But I know that whatever it is, I want to help! I want to help you guys. So I want you guys to tell me what it is you're doing. But when you're ready" he finished

Some many thoughts, a wind bearer and someone that's running like the rest of us. We all are running from something.

"I'll tell you everything and you have until tomorrow to decide what you want to do" I spoke softly looking at Dream who nodded and to the others that seemed okay

Technos sword laid back in its sheath

"To start off" I begin

"Everyone here has something they are running from, we all have no where else to go" I spoke softly glancing at George and techno

If anything revealing the past is a massive thing but trust is earned so we have to at least give him a chance
