Blue

(4)

Alex, also known as Quackity is George's brother. Alex is the oldest while George is the youngest.

"He told me that he was going somewhere and was gonna come back soon. But I knew that it wasn't normal for him to go outside the castle. For 8 years he spent his life in his room, only going out when its going to eat. He also lost alot of his friends. He hasn't responded to any of their mails." Alex said.
"Then why didn't you tell me soon? When you found out your brother is missing thats when you'll tell me? What kind of older brother are you to not watch your younger brother!?" His father shouted.
"I tried. He doesn't appreciate everything I do to him. I thought it was best to let him go out for a while, because he was locked inside his room for years. He must've missed going outside, smelling the fresh air, birds flying in the sky, and the peaceful silence."

"But what happened? He went missing, right? I'm so dissapointed in you, Alex. You should do better."

"Yes, father. I apologize." Alex apologized as he left to go and search for George.

"Whats for breakfast?" George asked.
"I don't know, what do you want?" Dream answered.
"I- uh- you can choose. Its fine."
"Huh. Okay. I'm too lazy to cook today so we're gonna have to go with cereal." Dream said as he grabbed the bowls on the counter.
"Lazy ass Dream." George teased.
"I will kick you out of this house if your not careful." Dream laughed.
"Okay, your not my mother."
"Or am I..." Dream said as he wheezed. George rolled his eyes back.

"I'm gonna wash the dishes, what do you want to do after this?" Dream asked as he grabbed the bowls from the table to put in the dishwasher.
"Go outside maybe." George responded.
"Alright."
George went to his room to dress up, he chose not to wear his mushroom hat because if he did, people would recognize him. He wore the beanie that his brother gave him instead, it was still on his clothes' pocket. He felt happy going outside and explore, this was the first time he had done this in years of isolating himself.

Its unbelievable, everything thats happening is unbelievable. I have never went outside to explore for 8 years.. Will this be my permanent life now?

These thoughts swirled through George's mind.

But what if.. father looks for me. For sure they will recognize me quick. And.. Alex.. he must've got grounded again for not taking care of me.. Father is so, I don't know.. Its like if I do something wrong he would blame it all on Alex.. I feel so bad.. Why haven't I thought about this..? What do I do now.. If I tell Dream I'm some sort of prince he would treat me like I AM a prince, I don't wanna be treated that way anymore. I just wanna be looked at as a normal human being. Not a royal.

"George? George you there?" Dream's voice made George snap out of his thoughts.
"Oh, yeah, yeah. I was just uhh- thinking of stuff." George responded from behind the door.
"Well hurry up, we're gonna go in a few minutes." Dream said.
George opened the door "Where are we going?" he said.
"To my friend, Sapnap's house." Dream said as he put on his jacket.
"Oh, okay."
"He lives a few houses away, its a 8 minute walk." Dream added.
"Thats- thats far."
"Y'know, why do I feel like you've never went outside for walks? Its normal for people to walk for 9 minutes. Its not long."

Maybe its because I isolated myself from everybody.

"Oh uh- I just- liked to lock myself in my room so I never really went outside." George answered.

"Oh. That explains why." Dream said. "C'mon lets go since we're ready now." he added.
"M'kay."

As the two went outside, George was really happy. No people who are desperate for his signature are surrounding him. And no obssessive fans. It was just lovely people who waved hi to him. Since the town never really knew who he was, they figured he was new. Village 7 was known as the nicest village in Kinoko kingdom because of its citizens. Everyone knew eachother in the village, there were almost no fights made. George waved back to the lovely people who was waving to him.
"Oh, Dream! Look at this flower." George stopped walking and turned to the direction of the flowers he was looking at.
"Oh, thats a cornflower. Its not much common in this village. It mostly appears in Village 9." Dream said as he turned to the direction George was looking.
"Did you know that I'm colourblind and can only see blue properly?" George took 3 of the flowers and kept it in his hands.
"What? Wait so- how did you find your mushroom hat if you can only see blue properly?" Dream continued walking making George follow him.
"I can recognize other colors, not as much as you do though. Other colors are a different color to me."
"Ohh." "The color blue fits you. I mean your cloak from a few weeks ago was blue." Dream said as the littlest of blush appeared on his face.
"Heh. Obviously it would. I'm good looking myself." George joked.
Dream responded to George with a laugh.
"Blue is my favorite color, since its the only color I can see properly, its just so, pretty."

...Like you..
Dream said in his mind.
Crap.. Did I say it out loud?

Dream snapped out of that thought and looked at George, a smile appeared on his face. Its kind of sad he couldn't enjoy all colors, all he can see is blue.

If I was a color, I'd be blue. I want to be your favorite color of all colors.

These thoughts swirled through Dream's mind.

...
"Are we there yet? I'm getting tired."
"You always are getting tired."
George stopped to take a few breaths, he wasn't kidding when he was tired.
Dream rolled his eyes. "Hop on my back, I'll carry you."
George's face turned red. "Wh-what?"
"I said I will carry you idiot. I can't just leave you here." Dream repeated.
George walked forward to hop on Dream's back. "Wow, I never expected you to be so light." Dream said. "Alright, LETS GOOOOOO-" Dream ran as fast as he could while carrying George.
"How can you carry me while running?!" George shouted.
"I TOLD YOU- YOUR VERY LIGHT AND EASY TO CARRY-!" Dream shouted back.

I'm happy to live with him. He's happy all the time and, he's so- no. George no. No. No. No. Don't fall for his dirty tricks, its just an act. But, I've been living with him for almost 2 weeks now.. How can I not trust him..? He hasn't done anything bad to me ever since he saved me from the wolves.. Maybe I was just overthinking.
Maybe he didn't plan to hurt me at all.

"Alright, we're here." Dream said as he squatted for George to come down.
"This is his house?" George asked while he got off Dream's back.
"Yep. Pretty sure hes awake at this time." Dream answered. "Hello? Sapnap you there?" Dream knocked.

Instead of Sapnap, someone else opened the door.

"Oh, Dream! What are you doing here so early?"

"Karl? Wait when did you live with Sapnap?" Dream asked as he enter the house.

"Since you went to hunt." Karl said. "I moved in because we were gonna- uh- yeah no forget about that." Karl noticed someone from behind Dream, so he decided not to continue his sentence.

"Oh- and uh- this is my friend George. George this is Karl, hes the friend of Sapnap." Dream said as he went a bit to the side for Karl to see George.

"Hi, nice to meet you." George nervously said, hoping this guy wouldn't recognize him.

"Hello! Nice to meet you George!" Karl greeted cheerfully. "Come in you two, have you eaten breakfast yet?" He asked.

"Yeah, already did." Dream answered. "Is Sapnap awake?"

"No not yet, he got tired of hunting last night." Karl answered.

"Oh okay."

"What is this picture?" George asked as he walked forward to a picture of a mushroom with a huge red X written on top of it.

"Oh uh- yeah don't mind that." Karl said, dragging George away from the picture.

"Hey Dream, mind if I uh- talk to you in private for a sec-?" Karl asked.

"O- oh yeah sure." Dream answered.

"Oh and uh George- you can take those fruits on the counter, eat as much as you want. We will be right back-" Karl said as he lead Dream to a room.

"Huh. Thats strange." George said to himself. "I wonder why he kept me away from the picture." George said as he walked back to the picture. "Hmm.. Mushroom.. x.. What does this mean?" George looked closer. "Curse..you..king.. what? Whoever wrote this sucks. Their handwriting sucks. I can barely read the last part." George tried to scramble the words, but he still can't figure it out."

"Why'd you take me here, Karl-?"  Dream asked.
"Well, its something about George." Karl answered as he closed the door shut.
