pretty boy (this was not okay.)

chapter - 10 ༄

Dream fell to the ground with a thud, causing a loud gasp to be heard from Minx. She swooped up the guards shield and hid Dream behind it.
"For Arleighs sake." She cursed, peering over the shield to find out where the arrow came from. "They've left, Minx. I saw them." George sighed looking over at Dream as he clutched onto his leg in pain.

Minx hesitantly put down the shield and ran over to George to untie him. "They've really done a number on your arm, you're gonna have to show Niki when we get back." Minx spoke releasing George.
"Yeah. I know.." He rubbed his wrists and walked over to Dream. "You're going to have to take the arrow out." George pointed out causing Dream to roll his eyes. "I know that." He spoke bluntly, gripping onto the arrow breathing heavily. He couldn't blame him for the way he spoke to him, after all there was a 75cm arrow by his ankle.
"I have a medicine potion, it won't fix it but it'll make it numb." George then ran over to his satchel and brought out a bottle of pink liquid. "S-sure." Dream spoke through gritted teeth as he clenched his eyes shut.

"Just take it out, you big baby." Minx teased as George ran back over.
"It hurts- bloody hell." Dream sighed holding onto the arrow. He shut his eyes and tightened his grip and then pulled it out letting out a noise in pain. "See, wasn't so bad was it?" Minx sighed taking the bottle from George's hand and pouring it over to wound. She then tore off a small bit of her jacket and tied it on his leg to stop the bleeding from getting any worse.
"The potion will stop the bleeding too-" George began to say till Minx gave him a look to tell him to shut up. "You can't walk back like this, we'll find a inn or something." Minx sighed, grabbing onto Dreams arm and hoisting him over shoulder.
"Oi, shithead, take the other arm. I'm tired as hell." Minx signalled, with that George ran over and put Dreams other arm round his shoulder.

Dream didn't say a word as they made their way through the dim streets, only a few grunts of pain as he tried to walk on his leg.
"I'm not local with this area, George, you're gonna have to find some place that won't recognise Dream." Minx pointed out as her eyes darted from house to house. George nodded in response, "I know a place, but I think there's a new receptionist." He spoke, leading the two down another street till they came up to a building with a hanging sign upon the door

"Light Moon Inn"

The three peered in to see a large muscular man flipping a coin at the desk with a small lit candle beside him. A large stubbly beard was untrimmed upon his face and his bushy furrowed eyebrows looked unattended to.

"Okay, Ill try get us a rooms." Dream breathed our leaning on the door frame for support. "No, you're injured, you can barely walk on your own." George pointed out but Dream shook his head. "I'll take him in, George you stay out here." Minx spoke taking Dreams arm and leading him inside.
"Wait do you have money?" George asked, in which Minx's eyes widened. "Shit no- we'll work something out."

George could vaguely here their conversation as they approached the man. He peered through the window to see Minx leaning over the counter and Dream clinging onto it. The mans attention wasn't on Minx however, he was looking at the window. George quickly ducked down and looked away, pretending to look at the sky. When a few seconds passed, he looked back at the window to see Minx off the counter and standing crossed armed.

The girl swiftly spun round and grabbed Dream with her, dragging him outside to George. "That was quick.. Did you get a room?" George hopefully asked but Minx shook her head. "She tried her 'feminine charm' according to her- and it didn't work." Dream chuckled causing Minx to roll her eyes. "It always works so why didn't it.."

She paused.

"He's gay." She smiled looking over to George. He raised an eyebrow. "Pardon?" He questioned as Minx began to walk up and down the path. "He asked me who you were, he saw you outside the window! He must be interested in you!" She grinned, waving her hands at George.
"Why does that matter?.." Dream questioned, looking from Minx to George. "Are you stupid? George can use this to his advantage. The man said he had no rooms but there were keys behind him so George can go and yano-" Minx smirked. "Flirt his way in."
