Love of a Deity

Indecisive

George Pov:

 "Are you sure you're ok honey? You look a little shaken up." Puffy placed a soft hand on my back in an effort to convert me, but it didn't really help.

I rested my head on the bar facing away from her. Puffy sighs, retracting her hand and placing her hand on her hips, "Ok, now I know something's wrong. What happened." I stay silent. "Did you not find a place to sleep last night?" She said worry in her voice, "No, and I'm fine!" I say swatting her away but she was not so easily moved. "George! Stop being stubborn, what is-'' Puffy stopped mid sentence as if it clicked in her mind, "Is this about that man Dream? Did he do something to you?". I growl, I don't even want to think about him right now.

That whole interaction made me feel all kinds of weird. I'm hot, I'm upset and I'm scared. I cringe, the fact that he even got me going disturbed me, especially after all the things he was going on about. Puffy looks at me slightly irritated, "What did he do George." I tilted my head slightly to look at her, a part of me wanted to tell her, but Puffy was practically my mother. I don't think I want her to know how I was getting hot over a man I just met. She just doesn't need to know about this.

I think in the moment my brain and body wanted different things, my brain was telling me to run while my body desperately wanted me to stay. I don't know how I could be attracted to someone when I haven't seen their face. "George!" Puffy yells clearly frustrated with me, getting a few people in the inn to turn their heads. I swiftly stood up not giving anyone a glance as I left the in, I heard puffy calling for me but I didn't turn back. I needed a serious time out in the woods. I needed to be alone.

 As I walked to the gates I was stopped by Nick who looked a little confused, "George leaving again? Didn't you leave just yesterday?" I node, "I did. Can I not leave again?" He flinched, "No, no that's not what i'm saying! It's just odd is all. Usually you wait a few days before heading back out.". "I just need some time to think..." I said blankly. Nick reluctantly nodded, waving to a man on top of who walked off to open the gate for me to pass through. As I walk forward Nick grips my shoulder, "Hold on George." Nick's gaze was full of worry as he paused thinking of his next words. "Just... be careful. Will you?" My eyes widened slightly, Nick was rarely ever this sincere this is odd for him. He must really be worried. I smile, "I will." Nick let's me go looking away, "Good.".

 As soon as I walked into the Crimson Forest I ran. I ran not even knowing where I was going, and why I was going there. I soon felt rain start to trickle down from the sky and I stopped. I fell to my knees exhausted and panting. I looked up at the gray toned sky, before closing my eyes letting the rain hit my body. The longer I was there the more I distanced myself, and in that moment I managed to find silence in my mind. 

 "What a pretty sight you are." I quickly opened my eyes at the familiar voice startled, it was Dream's voice. There was no mistaking it, but when I scanned the forest around me he was nowhere to be seen. Am I hearing things? I wrapped my arms around my shoulders, I was soaking wet. I didn't mind being wet, and even if I did that was the least of my problems.

 "I might as well say it now. You look lovely in the rain." I tighten my grip around myself, "What do you want now?" I say, my voice breathy and submissive. I hear him let out a pleased sigh, "I have a proposition. One where we can both get what we want." I stay silent. "You my dear, desperately want to be loved." I bite my lip almost in embarrassment, "So much that you would let me, a stranger. Touch you as if you've known me for years." I cringe at his words and how truthful they were. I continued to stay silent, letting Dream speak. "And all I want is you. Ever since I saw you I knew I had to have you." He lets out a low chuckle making my nerves jump, "So here is my proposition. I will give you everything you desire. Anything you want and it's yours. And all you have to do is... become mine, and only mine." My eyes widen, everything I desire? His and only his, what does that mean? "W-what?" I stuttered but stopped when I felt a pair of hands grip my shoulders causing me to look up in shock to see nothing was there. I felt a feeling of fear settle in my stomach, I stood up backing away until I hit something. Dream.
