ORPHANED

:: one hundred nineteen ::

he moved a hand from george's hips to cup his face, pulling them closer into each other. their lips vibrated with a kiss so passionate the blonde could feel his body temperature pick up. it wasn't what dream had originally expected it to be, but then again that could have also been the shock talking. it hadn't been perfect but their lips danced together like it had been.

when george began pulling away from his lips to breathe, dream wasn't sure he was ready to let go. it was weird to think how after all this time of craving, his heart still hungered for more. he let george break the kiss, only because he was scared his greed would squander any chance he had to experience the brunette's soft lips on his again.

george squeezed his eyes shut as he caught his breath, clasping his hands onto the blonde's shoulders. from where his hand had still been cupping the brunette's jaw, dream gently ran his thumb against george's cheek, as they both tried their best to hold onto the feeling of unfamiliar lips that felt so known, for as long as they could.

however he had been seriously misinformed to think that kissing george was alone the best thing he could ever experience. right now he admired half opened dark eyes, that directed away from both the pink of the brunette's flush, as well as the soft of his kissed out lips. the blonde lowered his voice to match the feeling in the car that pulled them closer together. "i wasn't just being nice."

the brunette bit his lip while leaning into the touch pressed to his skin, his eyes fluttered shut again and he smiled back at the blonde. the heat that dream felt in the palm of his hand most likely mirrored the heat radiating off of his own face. it was a beautiful sight to see the boy look so comfortably content, and dream was glad he had finally catered to the yearning that feasted on the feeling he got when they were together.

they didn't speak a word to each other the entire way back, simply processing the want they kept deep in their hearts finally being fulfilled. george practically skipped every step from the car to his front door, shooting smiles to the blonde that would blindly follow him anywhere. dream would shake his head, but he couldn't stop the smile that came to his face when he saw that george had been enjoying himself.

when they got back into the apartment it was like they were simultaneously learning how to exist in the same space together after having experienced such an intimate moment. almost like they had been performing a dance neither of them had practiced beforehand, stepping on toes and exchanging flashes of apologetic smiles.

they put on a movie but dream hadn't been paying it any mind. Instead he found himself focused on the brunette that laid against him. they had settled back onto the sofa, and george rested in between dream's legs, so he could plant his head in the center of the blonde's chest. dream securely wrapped an arm around the small of george's back to protect him from any outside force that would try to separate them. his other hand traveled under the brunette's shirt to run feather light fingers against every vertebrae of his spine.

dream admired the profile of the boys face from where it rested directly over his heart. he focused on soft features and dark lashes that batted after every scene flashed on the screen. he was proud of himself for finally finding the courage to kiss him. the excitement that would shine in his sister's eyes when she'd find out, materialized behind his eyelids.

his train of thought seemed to halt when george tilted his head upwards to reconnect their eyes. dream smiled at him, glancing from the unfamiliarity of the screen to the overfamiliarity of deep brown eyes. his gaze trailed down to lips but returned to eyes when george spoke between them. "were you even listening?" he shuffled where he lay, resting his chin on the blonde's chest as he awaited his answer.

the blonde felt caught, staring back at the brunette with a guilty smile. "um." he'd advert his eyes if he hadn't been so captivated in the beauty of the brunette's features. george lifted himself off of dream's chest and for a moment the blonde panicked, wanting to pull the warmth of george back into his heart, however his worry seemed to dissolve into thin air when he felt george tuck his head into the base of his neck.

it took him a moment to adjust to the new position, but dream was fast to tilt his head to press the side of his face against the soft tufts of hair that sat at the top of the brunette's head. he could feel george's smile pressed into the exposed skin of his neck, causing a grin of his own to split across the heat on his face.

the brunette exhaled a cold breeze, one of which would tickle the hair's at the nape of the blonde's neck. as a form of revenge dream ran his nails against every inch of skin he could reach underneath the fabric of the brunette's shirt, squeezing the boy tighter with every shiver he induced. george moved his arms to wrap around the blonde's waist, giggling as he hid his face farther. "you kissed me."

dream spared a conflicted smile into the emptiness of the apartment. "i did." he turned to the screen but was disinterested in the topic of the movie, "is there a problem with that?"

george shook his head, the familiar scent of his shampoo blooming through the air, bringing a strong sense of delight to mingle with the endearment that already took over most of the blonde's being. "im glad you did."

"you are?"

"yeah." he separated his face from dream's collarbone, shining a prideful smile, "i really am."
