"She wasn't fragile
like a flower.
She was fragile
like a bomb."

Eleanor walked back and forth as she thought about Dream and Wilbur. Many hours had passed since they've gone out, and they still aren't back. In her opinon, they've been gone for too long already.

Are they safe?

What if something happened to them.

They should've been back by now.

After the little moment that her and Nick shared, she did feel lighter in a way.
But then her mind got flooded by another topic to worry about.

She sat down and her leg started to bounce in nervousness as she thought about the many possibilities.

"What's got you on the edge like that?"
( Can I phrase it like that? HELP ME- )

Eleanor jumped at the voice as she looked up, meeting eyes with Wilbur and Dream's mask. A wide grin made it's way onto her face before she stood up, immediately rushing to Dream and enveloping him in a tight hug.

Dream stumbled back at the strong impact and a deep blush warmed his cheeks the moment she caught him. He hesitanty hugged her back before glancing at her brother anxiously.

"I'll actually murder you if you break her heart or anything like
that."

He gulped, not knowing if it was because of the girl's proximity or her brother's judgemental stare.

And then, he remembered his last words before he left her. He wished he could travel back in time and prevent himself from saying those words. Maybe even slap himself a few times for even thinking about saying the following phrase.

"I'd never let anyone else have you anyways."

He's only known her for one and a half week.

He wanted to disappear into the dephts of the floor.

Where did I get that courage from?

Eleanor finally released Dream from her hug, just having realized her childish behavior as she backed away with a little blush. However, her eyes hardened as soon as she looked at her brother.

"What you said really hurt."

She wanted to make him understand that his insults from their last two meeting were nothing but mean.

His eyes softened as he took a step forward, wanting to put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her and tell her he's sorry.

"Don't touch me.",
she hissed before slapping his hand away.

"Yeah, I know that I'm not as tall as you or as strong and experienced at fighting like Dream."

She took a little pause, thinking about her next few words.

"That doesn't mean that I'm completely helpless."

"El, I kno-"

"No you don't!",
she screamed at him with tears burning in her eyes.
