~Georges's Pov~

I walk through the hallways of the dark castle. There had been a party a few hours ago, My mother told me I should be in bed but unfortunately for me I couldn't fall asleep. I had snuck out of my room without making any noise. I had a lot of practice doing this because when I was younger I would sneak out with my friend Nick and go to the roof, we would sit up there until the sun came up. I smile as I remember the thoughts of my childhood. I'm a prince so unfortunately the rules for me only got stricter as I grew up so I wouldn't rebel.

I continue to walk until I get closer to the ballroom and hear faint music playing through the walls. I wondered who could possibly be in there at a time like this. I was afraid it might be a guard at first, but then I realized how stupid it would be for a guard to be playing music that loud in the ballroom so late at night. Curiosity got the best of me as I slowly opened the door. Some blue light shined into the hallway as I walked into the room, and there he was. Although I had never seen him before he was one of the prettiest people I've ever seen. I noticed him jump a bit as he heard the door open. He stopped the music and looked up at me.

"There's no need to be nervous!" I assured him as I stepped closer. "I'm not going to report you to the guards or anything" As I continued he seemed to look less frightened. "All I want to know is who are you and what are you doing here?" I was a bit afraid he might have a weapon, but nothing ever happens in this boring castle so why not take a risk?

"Oh um I'm Dream and I'm a new servant here- I just finished working and noticed the ballroom." He looked down at me, I was relatively shorter than him which made me a little nervous. "Oh! well nice to meet you I'm-" I start before he cuts me off "Prince George yes I know who you are I work here" My face flushes red out of embarrassment as I look away from him. He cups my face making me look at him surprised while I examined his face. "Well Prince George no need to stare all I was going to ask was if you wanted to dance with me?" he asks with a wink. I nod my head as he grabs my hands and leads me to the middle of the ballroom. I look into his eyes and he puts one hand on my waist and continues holding my other hand. I wrap free arm around him as he pulls me close. The music starts as we waltz around the ballroom.

I couldn't believe what was happening, I was dancing with this perfect stranger who I met like 5 minutes ago, and yet I was okay with it. The moonlight filled the room as we slow danced. I stared into his eyes smiling up at him, he smiled back at me. We had been dancing for over 30 minutes while chatting about our lives. We actually realized we had some things in common. We were almost the same age with me being a bit older, (he then continued to mock me saying how he was younger yet taller than me). 30 minutes turned into an hour and an hour turned into 4 and now the sun was rising. We had stopped dancing an hour ago since we were both tired and our feet hurt. Now we were just sitting by each other in comfortable silence until I started panicking. "OH!" I whisper screamed as I got up. "My parents are going to be awake soon!" Dream got up as well and faced me. He then wrapped me in a hug and asked if we could do this again sometime, I obviously agreed cause who wouldn't? As I got ready to leave he leaned down and kissed me on the cheek as he walked away. I was left there in shock as my face turned red, yet I quickly snapped back to reality as I rushed back to my room and pretending to be asleep as my mom opened my door to check on me. I praised myself in my head as she quickly closed my door and left.

Me and Dream met every night to dance in the ballroom we hadn't got caught yet and we never plan to. One night was different than the rest though.

We had decided to stop dancing early so we could talk more, and so we wouldn't be as tired later. We were sitting on the ground like we always did just talking about whatever came to mind but something really caught me off guard. "George...?" Dream started, turning to face me. "Yes Dream..?" I replied looking at him. "Can I...kiss you?" He continued, my face turned red just at the thought (well I assume it's red I'm colorblind so I wouldn't know obviously.) All I do is nod I can't even think of words to say. He leans in, our faces are just inches apart, I quickly close the gap between us. A few seconds pass before I pull away smiling at him softly, he smiles back and holds my hand tightly. We sit in more comfortable silence until I eventually have to leave just like every other night except this night will always be special because tonight instead of leaving single I'm leaving with a loving boyfriend by my side.
