They switched up on me so quickly.They went from looking into my soul, to all happy go luckyWHAT ON EARTH IS WITH MORTALS?

Y/N giggled slightly at the shock the boy had on his face."Well come on then! I don't have all day," Y/N said as she rolled her eyes and standing up next to the male.He blinked then scrambled up as he realized he needed to move. They then began in search for a inn.

"So... that was a fail then, I suppose?" The person sighed as they sat back on the bench that the two met at, just hours earlier. "Yeah, I suppose it was, I'm sorry we didn't get to find you a place to stay..." they trailed off, looking at the setting sun.

The two sat in silence for a moment of two before the person spoke up again.

"Well, if you want to.. you could stay with me if you'd like..?"

Dream just stared blankly at them, trying to take in what they just offered to him

Of course, Dream wanted to stay with them. They has been nothing but kind to him but he was slightly weary.

They had offered to him a home, but he didn't really know who they were and what their intentions were.

After thinking and thoughts racing through his head, Dream hesitantly nodded.

They smiled.

"But, on the condition that I get to know you a bit better. You can understand my hesitation, right?" Dream questioned, hoping they would understand.

"Of course I can understand that," They said smiling.

~The pair began walking to her house in silence, neither knowing how to start up some conversation.

"So... I think I should know your name...?" Dream asked, looking over at them.

"OH! I am so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Y/N, and yourself?""I'm-" Then Dream realised he shouldn't say Dream, as that would raise suspicion in regards to the gods, so Dream looked around the village, hoping something may be a suitable name."C-Clay-!"Y/N stopped for a moment, looking over at Dream."Clay? Like the brick?""Y-Yes...?"

There was a small silence before Y/N giggled a bit. "Alright, cLaY. Were almost at my place."

~Dream smiled fondly at the quite little house that Y/N owned. It looked like a quaint little cottage.

(For reference this sort of vibe, just minus the dog)
The pair walked inside, Dream admiring the interior and how nice the place looks.

"I know it's not much, but it's home," Y/N shrugged as they walked inside, closing the door behind Dream and setting their basket of goodies from the markets earlier that day on the countertop in the kitchen.

"No no, your home is lovely! I was admiring it," Dream clears up, smiling.

Y/N smiles back and leads Dream over to the living room, sitting down on the lounge and patting the spot next to them for Dream to sit.

Dream complies and sits next to them.

"So," Y/N starts. "When's your birthday and how old are you?"
"I'm 22, and my birthday is the 12th of August. How about you?"
"I'm 20, and December 1st."
"Hobbies?"
"Reading and writing, you?"
"Painting and reading."

The pair went back and forth with questions, answering honestly and starting to open up to each other a bit more, while also growing a bond of trust and friendship.

"Ok ok, favourite animal?" Dream asked.

"I love bunnies, deer's and goats, especially the babies. They're so cute! But I do own a cat," Y/N answered, smiling happily from memories of encountering their favourite animals in the woods when they was young.

"Wait you have a cat!? How come I haven't met it yet what the hell!" Dream exclaimed.

Y/N giggled and started calling out for the cat. "Althea! Here girl!"

Dream heard a distant meow, before a small white cat, maybe even a kitten came running out from further in the house, and started rubbing herself against Y/N's leg.

Y/N giggled as they picked up the kitten, and pulled her into their lap.

"Clay, meet Althea. Althea, meet Clay."

Althea looked up at Dream, as if to check and see if he was dangerous. After a few seconds, she meowed and leaped into Dream's lap, snuggling up and purring in acceptance.

Dream looked down at the kitten in absolute awe, as he gently patted her.

Y/N giggled at Dream's reaction. "I'll take it you like her then?"
Dream looked up, and nodded, with a look of fondness in his eyes.

Y/N smiled, and stood up.

"Would you like to see your room then?"
Dream nodded, standing up, and still holding Althea.

~
"Well, I hope your all settled in! My room is the last door on the right if you need anything. Have a good night!"
"Good night!"
Dream smiled as Y/N closed the door, and flopped back on his new bed.

He was grateful of course, but he started thinking about the coming years. He didn't want to loose Y/N, but he didn't want to spend eternity as a mortal with them...

Thoughts began invading his head about what would happen if they became closer.

What would happen when he has to go back?
How could I ever tell them I'm a God?
Will they leave me...?

Dream sighed, figuring he would deal with these problems at a later date.

Suddenly, something began scratching at Dream's door.

Getting up and opening the door, Althea was revealed at the foot of the door, who quickly came inside the room and snuggling into Dream's bed.

Dream chuckled under his breath, and went over to the bed, where he moved Althea for a second so he could lay down, and putting her back down on his chest.

Somehow, Althea brought comfort the the God, and Dream quickly succumbed to a dreamless sleep.

Sorry this took so long, I've had writers block for a bit and thoughted of thing to help the plot.

Ik this friendship was a bit rushed in a way, but some people can connect and trust some people much quicker than others, and that's what I wanted to happen between Dream and Y/N in this story. Hope you like this though and enjoy!
