Omega Of My Own...

Dream was just walking through the shopping outlet when he saw a new ice cream shop. 'Why not' he sighed. He stood in the line for about 20 minutes before his turn came. He decided he would get a mint chocolate chip stack. It was so good, there were waffles, mint chocolate chip ice cream, flakes and mint ice cream sauce drizzled all over the top of it. He sat down on a bench and ate the rest of it before getting up and walking over to the nearest bin he could find. 'What to do now?' He had a day off and had nothing to do. He decided to go to the local cinema and see what movies there were. He chose one that looked ok and went to his first class seat in the top booth. Dream couldn't concentrate on the movie. He was thinking about asking his friends that were running tomorrow to come over for lunch. He was getting bored by the end of the movie and he clicked into the group chat.

Now he just had to figure out where to go and what to do after that. When they all met up, Techno seemed more reserved than usual. Well, as much more reserved as he can get for Techno. Wilbur was being a tease as usual, not in that way, just in an annoying friend like way. More of a wind-up than anything. None of them were really hungry so they just decided to go to an arcade. They were different from other Alphas. Even Dream hated most Alphas, and he knew even though he never said it, Wilbur agreed. We sat down and Techno decided it was too quiet so he initiated in a conversation.

"So, why are you all running this year?"

"I'm running for Sally again" Wilbur said blushing and looking away.

"Well I have to sound the starting whistle and make sure that there is no dirty play". As Sam said this I could've sworn he looked over at Techno.

"I don't know, I just feel like I should this year, y'know?" I said, still puzzled myself as to why I felt this way.

"I'm only running because I met someone in a forest on my usual weekly hunt. He seemed... ok" Techno said.

This caught my attention. He? And it wasn't only me. I could see the look of confusion in Wilbur's eyes. Sam looked at Techno like he'd never seen a pink haired man before. (To be fair though, that's not a great phrase to use because it was pretty rare just realised that I'm so dumb 💀) He just smiled and looked out the window as if he hadn't just confused the three of us out of our minds.

"Well as fun as this was, I must be going. I've got things to do before The Hunt tomorrow." He said as he walked away giving a small wave over his shoulder. This wasn't exactly out of character for Techno, but something about him today had made me feel something was different. 'Forget it Dream, there's no point in questioning a friend, you're probably just to exhausted with work and nerves to think straight...'

Wilbur was the one to suggest a trip to the arcade. It surprised Dream and Sam at Wilbur's sudden urge to go to the arcade of all places on a Saturday afternoon. Then it hit me, not so much Sam, he still looked confused as fuck.

"Hey Wilbur, doesn't Sally work here at the weekends?"

"What- I- No- how would I know?!" He spat flustered and blushing.

"Calm down lover boy, we won't judge you" Sam said finally realising.

We played games in the arcade and Wilbur finally decided he wanted a plastic gun from the ticket trading place (I think it's a prize desk but I have absolutely NO idea what to call it 😅) He vaguely mentioned his friend and something about a vlog gun. None of it really registered in Dreams head though, he was too busy looking around at the other prizes. A black wolf that had amber eyes. He didn't know why but he was intrigued by it. His thoughts were interrupted by Wilbur tapping his shoulder.

"Ready to go Dreamy?" He smiled

"Uhm yeah sure let's go"

Sam had to go and finish up a couple of things before The Hunt the next day, but Wilbur wasn't ready for me to go home yet. He invited me over to his so we could watch a movie. After spending like half an hour trying to pick a movie, he finally chose one; [INSERT NAME HERE] (I'll let y'all come up with one because I've said it before no creativity 🙃) I didn't realise it but I must have nodded off through the movie. It was too late to get up and go home so I just stayed at Wilbur's. I made myself a bed on the sofa downstairs and went down to get a drink. I wasn't going to sleep in the Guests room because his house was always too warm upstairs. I'd learned this from all the sleepovers we'd had as pups. Downstairs was cooler so it was perfect. Dream went to sleep and dreamt of The Hunt again. All he could dream about while sleeping was Techno's words from earlier;

"I met someone in a forest on my usual weekly hunt. He seemed... ok"
