George's POV

"We're going to dance," Dream said.

He grabbed my hand and led me to an open space where we wouldn't knock anything over or get hurt.
His hand was towering mine — way bigger in comparison.

"I don't dance Dream," I spat out, letting go of his hand.

"I don't either. But I do this when I feel like I need an energy booster. It'd be nice for once if I can do this with someone else for a change," Dream said, scrolling through his Spotify playlist, not breaking eye contact with his phone.

"I dance like I have two left feet, I don't have rhythm, Dream."

"We're not competing. Just having fun George," he reassured.

"Okay."

"M'lady," Dream said, bowing slightly, hand gently flipped over, awaiting my touch.

I grabbed his hand and simultaneously rolled my eyes in disbelief, scoffing under my breath. Remembering a few a seconds ago how I realized how big his hands are compared to mine.

He moved his wrist and intertwined our fingers together.

Our hands magically fit snugged into one another's.

"Did you find a song to dance to?" I asked.

"Yeah, my favorite," Dream said softly, eyes still not detaching from his Spotify playlist.

A beat starts to emit from the speakers and Dream starts to move around, feeling the beat through his body — growing loose.

He starts to sing-a-long to the words of the song.

I saw you lookin' for the side door

You didn't wanna stick around for

The rest of the night

I guess that's alright

His melody matches the tone of the song, he hits every note perfectly. He's loosening up, in a different state of emotion than what I witnessed upstairs — a completely different person from what I knew.

Someone who was vulnerable in a way they deserved to be loved so much more than they give.

They all left when you walked home

It makes sense that they all know

It was only for you

If only you knew

Dream starts to get louder as he's rapidly moving my hand with his dance movements, creating my body to vibrate at the speed he's leading. I'm following his steps and he begins to start jumping around. The beat starts to speed up, he's almost screaming now.

What good is love

Without any strings?

Held it above

Stuck in between

Tell me for once

What that even means

I wanna know you

But can't make it right

He lets go of my hand and brings his hands close to his chest, bending slightly over and jumping in unison with the beat of the music.

There's something on my mind

There's something that I

Wish I would've told you but you just don't seem
