Chapter 5:

No trigger warning thats right I did it last one was too emotional besties enjoy a break <3

What would you do in this situation?

Dream knew. He was going to the one place he never felt disgarded.

He found it quite recently, this tree, only a few months ago. But he hasnt stopped going there. He would go everyday after school, to speak his mind, tell the tree everything, whatever made his sad or happy, however today he wasnt sure he could wait. There was agony sprouting through his chest and his brain couldnt focus.

He raised his hand and waited.

He started sweating under his chin. It happened when he broke rules, when he did something he knew he shouldn't. Did he change his mind? Nope.

The teacher gave him an ok to go to the bathroom and he walked out the door and once it was closed practically ran. He didnt tell nick, who was on the other side of the class, which he was a bit worried about but would tell him later. Right now he needed to clear his cluttered mind. Feel the wind flow sharply across his face, to speak with no consequences.

As he made it to the field, he took a breath of dusty clear air infecting his lungs with wind. He slowed down his run and walked at his own pace. He looked back at the school to make sure there was no one behind him, that school was fucked to the bone.

As he made his way along he finally spotted it. The tree. It was beautiful this time of year. Pinks and yellows with a few white red tones along with the cherry wood branches intertwining its ways through the cotton candy clouds of leaves and crab apples. Its trunk thick and full, roots sticking out all around it. He didnt know why there was only one tree there, but he couldnt care less on why, it was peacful, the one tree alone, until now.

All of the sudden he felt a pitter patter onto his nose and shoulders. And it got heavier quickly.

Rain

Dream thought. He quickly ran to the tree seeking shelter under its leaves. He ran to the side that faced the middle school and as he was about to reach it saw-

A boy
A sobbing, terrified boy, head in his knees, looking so very fragile.
So weak and helpless, like he had given up.

Dream wanted to give him a hug, to shield him from the few drops of rain the seeped through their leaf umbrella, tell him he would be ok, that he should hold on.

Like a drop he tapped him on the shoulder to get a look at him. he flinched and snapped his head up at me trembling for dear life.

Then I knew. He knew too. Suddenly his eyes cleared up and his shaking ceased.

We looked at each other. Locked eyes as if our lives depended on it. Who knows, maybe they did. dream didnt want to relinquish his gaze, because unlike the hallway, there was no tension here. Surprisingly, it was just warm, Soft, Needing, and calm. The smell of the rain wafted into our noses and I saw him scrunch his up as if unfamiliar with the new scent. He didnt avert his gaze however.

I looked all over his face studying him, his small nose and brown eyes that sucked you deeper and deeper into them with every second. His cheeks were dusted with pink and his wet brown hair covering most of his forehead, and a bruise on the bottom of his chin, at least a day old.

Then his lips

They looked as if they had been hurt, not by over or under use, but rather by neglect from a once love. They were pink, with bits of pure white lining over some of the creases, they looked hopeful, they looked needy. And as he thought about it, so were his.

I noticed him taking in my features as we continued to stare. I notice his cheeks getting more and more pink as the seconds go on-

And then he looks away.

George cant help but stare. This boy, this sweet kid he just ran away from a hour ago was now staring at him. So much emotion in those green eyes. They looked dark and bright all at the same time if it was even possible. I never wanted to end this moment. It was so soothing, rain sound falling into our ears as we just looked, Dream looking down on me on the ground and me staring into his hazy eyes as he towered over me.
I had stopped crying the moment I saw his perfect face. All of his facial features had different flaws that made him so much more appealing to look into. His green eyes that were tinted with gray, his nose that was crooked to the left, his dimple on one cheek, his freckles that dotted his face unevenly, and his hair that went everywhere. It all made him look so,

Stunning.

I had to stop staring, I could feel myself blushing, and I came to his lips. Pink and fragile, red poking out in some places, but rounded to the perfect size. They looked wanting for something. Wanting for someone.

I blushed even harder and had to look away.

I could tell he was disappointed. That broke me a bit. God damnit I'm falling hard.

He then grabbed my hand, confused I allowed him, but was cautious. He used his other hand to pull some of the pink from our umbrella and placed them gently into my hand, then looked at me innocently and took out a peice of paper scrunched in his pocket.

Almost amused I watched. How did I go from a -20000 to a 1000000 so fast? Did he really have this toll on me? I cant let this happen. He. Will bring my guard down.

But hes so damn pretty.

As I watched him scribble something on his paper I noticed his pencil. It was bright green with smiles drawn all over it. I thought it was cute.

He handed me the paper. It read:

Hi, sorry for barging in on you, I come here when I'm stressed, i hope i didnt interrupt. You have very pretty eyes you know. You seem nice all things aside. pinky promise, friends?

I saw him holding out his pinky too me. He was so adorable. I was almost tempted to swat his hand away and kiss him, but I took my pinky and linked it with his.

"Friends."

I said with a smile.

He then gave me the biggest hug I've probably ever gotten. It was so nice. I put my face into his chest and he hummed In agreement. It was special. Me and Dream, under a cherry tree in pouring rain, hugging our guts out. I never wanted it to end.

The rainbow is beautiful, but what lays at the end of It is worth more than any thing. For it is love.
