Learn how to love (Dream Team fanfic)

Chapter 37 ~ Intuition

So as some of you might know from reading my little messages, (even though this story is adventure based) the romance aspect is based on my real life. And I think it would be cool to continue to base it off that to see how it goes. We met as kids and grew up together. The story was still unfolding which is why I took a break, but I think I've gotten things pretty figured out of our story. Therefore the story shall continue! Thanks for waiting with me and enjoy the rest :)

Dream stormed up to Techno and gripped his coat roughly with one fingerless gloved hand, the other his axe at Techno's neck. "Where is he!?" emotions strong, anger taking over his senses. Techno held his hands up in defense.

"Hey Woah, now relax there. We just-"

"YOU'RE ALIVE??" Tubbo interrupted them all, looking as though he saw a ghost. His eyes were wide and looking at George as if he were about to break down and cry. George took a step back, uncomfortable, and took the moment to realize he still had tear streaks on his face, and wiped them away hastily. The others were all slightly distracted by his presence. Wilbur added.
"Yeah wait, you're dead." The weight of his words sunk stomachs and sent shivers down spines. They had been assuming his death until this point.

"Yeah, well it didn't stick." George replied simultaneously ending that conversation and lightening the mood.

Their attention was brought back to the subject at hand when Sapnap began snapping impatiently in front of their faces, panic rising faster by the second.

"Yes, George is a God he can't be killed, now where's Bad?" he said, waiting for a moment before sighing exasperated and clarified. "The one in red and black, the knives?? Hooded guy!"

"Uhm... right. He was just taken away out of nowhere!" Wilbur said, "By some creature." Dream rolled his eyes and shoved Techno away.

"Likely story," he spat, looking Wilbur up and down with complete distaste.

"The truth," George said, now holding up his bow to their sworn enemies.

"It is the truth! I saw!" Tubbo called, finally breaking his eyes away from George, and looking to where he pointed. The same direction Wilbur had pointed before. Dream, Sapnap, and George looked at each other, wondering whether or not to believe it.

"My music player is with him." Tommy finally said, breaking the silence. The pain in his voice could not have been a lie.

"You took the walkman?" Dream said, turning to Sapnap who looked like he'd just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Hehe, well you see-"

"Wait a minute, that wasn't a planned attack?" Tubbo said. Dream and George looked to him, quite confused, and shook their heads. There was no inkling of a lie, still, neither party wanted to trust the other.

"We had no idea what was going on. We just came out here to have you guys telling us Bad was 'stolen' by some creature" George said, voice dripping with sarcasm. Dream on habit laughed at this, to which George once again took a step back clearly uncomfortable. Dream attempted to play it off as a cough, then looked away, blushing like crazy. It was clear to everyone that something was going on, but they could care less.

"Well, which way did it go?" Sapnap asked, choosing to believe them, as Bad had not yet popped up out of the bushes claiming "it was all a prank, Dream and George were all messing with Sapnap, had fallen in love and worked through their issues, and they could all go home". Tommy pointed in the direction once more before it clicked in George's head.

"Was the creature flying?" he asked as the sun began to rise, turning the dark night into a purply dawn.

"Yes. Finally, it was huge with wings the size of Techno's sword!" Tommy said, glad one of them had finally chosen to believe him. George nodded his head, lowering his spare bow completely now.

"There's a phantom's nest nearly a thousand blocks that way," George mentioned to which Dream and Sapnap's faces cleared in realization. The other's ears were perked as they saw Dream and Sapnap's reactions. A common understanding had been made to each party. This had been the first time in a long while they were able to have a conversation where one weapon wasn't being flung at the other. They might have beaten their record. It was enough to prove they had both been equally as confused, and they took this moment of silence after the exchange, to think about their next move, and whether or not if now they were going to fight again. However those just seemed silly. There were bigger problems at hand.

"Well, I'm off" Tommy began breaking the silence and heading off in the direction his two comrades had pointed two.

"Wait, you can't just go there yourself, you'll die!" George called. Sapnap stepped fully in front of George, as if to block him from the others.

"What do we care anyway, they left you to die." Sapnap spat. The air was awkward to say the least.

"Still. It takes the three of us together to be able to head in that direction. We go there all the time and we still nearly get back with our heads on our necks. You wouldn't last a minute alone."

"What are you suggesting you take us on a tour?" Wilbur said, as he'd begun following Tommy. George shook his head.

"No. I don't care what you guys do, I'm just saying." Dream glanced over at him.

"Well, you guys are going anyways to find this "Bad" Character no?" Tubbo suggested. They remained quiet but nodded in relative unison.

"Well then it's settled, we will go together!" Tubbo smiled, throwing his hands up in the air as if he'd thrown confetti on them all on their birthday.

"WHAT?" seemingly everyone responded.

"OH COME ON, you drama queens. We're still enemies, we're just putting our differences aside for a moment to save what's important to us, then we can go right back into the whole hatred thing." Everyone looked at him unamused.

"Well, I suppose-" George thought after a moment.

"I'd sooner be taken by one of those phantoms myself before walking with you lot" Tommy snapped.

"Says you who tried to kill George" Dream said, voice low enough to break their collective spirits. After the shivers subsided, Wilbur spoke up.

"Well George seems to have put it behind him, havent you been listening to him?" Dream locked eyes with Wilbur. That son of a-

"Everyone shut it will ya, we're both going to the same place, we might as well be civil about it," Techno said with finality. Tommy huffed, and Dream looked over to George. If he was okay with it, Dream would be too.

"You can follow us all you want-" George began "But we're not working together" Sapnap finished, beginning to walk in the right direction.

"You'd better keep up as well," Dream said in a taunting voice. The others shuddered. He simply had that effect. George laughed at this. A sound that made Dream's knees feel like jelly.
