Poison from the Heart-A Dreamnotfound story

~Merry Go Round Of Life~

George gave up trying to get out of Dream's grip. So he just sat there and looked up at the mask he was wearing. The white porcelain one with the smiley face on it. He went to grab for it but Dream smacked his hand away.

"Don't touch my mask." Dream said it with a serious tone. It sent shivers up George's spine. 

"Well, why not?" George huffed.

"Only people who I truly trust and I care about get to see my face." Dream replied.

"Do you not trust me?"

"No I honestly don't."

They started to head down the stairwell when George asked, "Who exactly are you guys and where am I."

Dream turned his head towards George and set him down. He sat down on a stair and motioned George to sit down on the stair below him. 

"We are in an Inn on the edge of the kingdom. No one who comes in this Inn likes the King, so we are safe to bunk here, the bartender/Innkeeper lets us stay for free. It acts like a hideout. Bad, Skeppy, and I are past knights, well, Skeppy was a knight, BBH was a sorcerer, and I was a head knight and sorcerer in training. But we all rebelled against the king and now us three are outlaws. Make sense?" 

George nodded his head.

"Good, now I trust you can walk from here." Dream got up and continued to go down the stairwell and George quickly followed.

Dream opened the door at the end of the stairwell and walked into the Pub. There he was greeted by a bartender who was a giant cat. 

"Hey Ant, can we get two orders of fish n' chips?" Dream asked the cat.

"Sure thing Dream!"

Dream sat down at a booth and George sat across from him. The pub smelled, odd. He was not used to the smell of alcohol and grease. Antfrost came out with their food a few moments later. 

"I know it's not exactly a meal fit for a king, but it's what we got."

"Oh that's ok. I never really liked those meals anyways." George enjoyed eating normal food for once. 

The two boys ate and listened to the piano that was a bit out of tune. A certain song started to play and Dream nearly jumped up. He started to walk towards the middle of the pub when he turned around to face George and reached out his hand. 

"Wanna dance?"

George thought the song was a lovely tune. He caught himself blush a little as he took Dream's hand. George knew how to dance, as he was required to know how to dance as a prince. What surprised him was how well Dream moved with the melody. It was as if he was one with the melody. He let the taller boy lead ,and for a few moments, his problems disappeared.

What George didn't know was that behind his mask, Dream was smiling and blushing at how the shorter boy looked up at him when they danced. Dream felt all his troubles melt for a second.

But sadly, all good things come to an end. Like the song.

"What song was that? It was beautiful." George asked Dream.
