PARTNERS IN CRIME//DREAMNOTFOUND

-25-

Dream opened his eyes yawning, before looking at his boyfriend.

Boyfriend.

It felt weird to call George his boyfriend, but not wrong. It felt good to finally call the small British man, his own.

He smiled, slowly sliding George off him before getting up. He had to talk to Techno.

The mission was already two days ago and he hadn't talked to his boss since they returned.

He stretched and looked into the mirror. He still had his sweatpants and the black shirt on, which he threw on after the shower yesterday.

The tall American decided it would be good enough and ran his hand through his messed up hair before grabbing his dirty shoes and leaving the room. Dream jumped down the stairs like he did it with George all the time.

With a quiet beep the electric door opened after he held the key card in front of it, as he left the building,

It was about 5 a.m. but the birds were already awake.

Dream took a deep breath, inhaling all the fresh and cold air while listening to the small singing animals. He loved being awake that early and he knew Techno did too.

The blonde looked around. Nearly no windows were lit up, everyone was still asleep. Except him and his boss. At least he hoped that The Blade was awake since it wouldn't make Techno happy to get woken up at 5 a.m.

Instead of entering through the normal door, Dream walked to one of the sides of foof where a long ladder hung on the wall.

He grabbed the first rung and climbed up really quickly.

„Techno" he said cheering and a bit out of breath as he arrived on the roof of foof.

The blade shrieked and spun around „Oh Dream you scared me" he pointed on the chair next to his „sit down. Do you want tea?"

The taller one nodded „Yeah would be nice, what do you have?"

„Black tea as always" the blade grabbed an empty cup and filled it as Dream sat down. „There you go"

They sat there in silence, just listening to the birds and Techno suddenly cleared his throat and begun to talk.

„What do you want this time?"

Dream remembered the last time Techno asked him what he wanted. And he answered George. Now he had George. Before he could answer, The Blade spoke out his thoughts  out loud.

„You wanna know why I know, that you want something?"

Dream nodded, Techno never failed reading him and it was impressing.

„You didn't came up here since George arrived, we never had our morning tea again since your partner arrived and now here you are."

„Oh" Dream sighed „Yeah, I know, I had to practice a lot, I'm sorry Te-" his boss cut him off „No need to be sorry it's not like I miss it or something"

Dream nodded, knowing that Techno was lying. Or at least he hoped his boss was lying since it was always something he looked forward to, before going to bed. They had wonderful memories and some deep conversations up here but that completely stopped since George arrived.

„We need a new plan, and we need it as fast as possible" Dream said „Schlatt escaped and that's not good. We have to find and kill him"

Techno took a big sip and sighed „I know, do you have a plan?"

Dream shook his head and took a sip as well, burning his tongue „Oh fuck" he commented it quietly „No I don't have a plan, Davidson can probably make one again. It was good"
