Love of a Deity

Bound by Blood

George Pov:

"Another offer?" I say, confused and slightly upset. Can't believe we're back on this deal shit. Just when I thought things were going well. It's so frustrating. Why would he try to hide who he is so badly? It only makes me more curious and more afraid of who he actually is. I just want to understand...

The only reason I'm even going along with this is because I... I need this. I've waited for so long for someone to come by. Someone who is willing to give me a chance.

Shit, I'm just so afraid of it going wrong. I'm so afraid of being hurt by something like this. I'm afraid of actually falling in love and then it just falling apart in front of my very eyes. I want to know that this is going to work.

I've heard of what heartbreak does to people. It never ends well. And how can I trust somebody with my heart when I don't even know them.

Dream tilted his head, "Well when I say offer I mean more like a deal.". I glared at him, causing him to frown, "May I explain myself.". I cross my arms keeping my eyes on him, "You may.".

Dream stays silent for a moment, almost choosing his next words carefully. As he should, he's on thin ice.

"There are many things I would prefer you did not get involved in, for your sake. Just know that I have my reasons for my secrecy, and leave it at that." I stumbled a little at how sincere he sounded, his proud and cocky demeanor seemed to fade, if only slightly. "I understand your concern, in fact I find your concerns quite valid." Dream lets his hand fall from my cheek, "And I only have so much time left here.".

I flinched, time? He has only a limited amount of time here? But what for, why would he... I felt a heavy weight on my heart. I looked at him concerned and panicked, "How much time do you have left?" Dream averts his gaze letting out a deep sigh, "I can't say for sure, but I would say about five days.".

Five days, that's less than a week. Is it really all the time I have? I was hoping to have more time to think this through, but now I have barely any. My distress became imminent on my face as I tried to think of the best plan moving forward. I was still reasonably upset about the fact that he refuses to talk about who he is. I want to know something about him, anything that would give me a hint of who he is.

Well, at least I know a few things. He is charming, cocky, and slightly impatient... but I have a feeling there's more to him... there must be.

I felt helpless as my heart became heavy with every second that passed. I needed to clear my head...

I sighed as I leaned into Dream, my head down avoiding eye contact as I put my arms around him. I pulled him close, gripping the fabric on his back tightly.

Dream jumped slightly at the moment, shocked at my sudden change in tone. Although it didn't take long for him to return my sudden affection, as he ran his hands through my hair. Tugging through the small nots that had formed in the strands of my dark brown hair. I hummed as the stress that had invaded my mind began to melt away as a sense of peace took its place. I turned my head to the side, "What is...," I took a shaky breath tightening my grip, "What is your offer.".

Dream paused for a moment, but only for a moment, before letting out a quiet huff. I felt him moving his hands to my shoulders, "Of course, I nearly forgot." He bent down resting his head on the crook of my neck, "My apologies you're just, so distracting..." I felt a shiver shoot up my spine, then I felt soft lips brush against my exposed neck. I felt a sound rise up in my throat. My grip tightening as I did my best to keep it in. "Sorry, couldn't help myself." Dream's words flowed like honey, smooth and sweet causing my face to obtain a reddish hue.

Dream gripped my shoulders, kneeling down to face me, "I have at most five days before I must leave, and those five days will give me more than enough time to win your heart." He pauses, brushing a strand of hair from my face and cupping my cheek, "If I can get you to fall in love with me before the sun sets on the fifth day, you will promise to be mine forever. If I can't, then I will leave. It will be as if none of this ever happened.".

I look down, deep in thought. That is not a bad deal, it's actually a pretty damn good one if you ask me. There is practically no down side to his offer, other than what exactly it means to be his. It could just be a play on words, but it could also be literal, and if it's literal then...

I lift my shaky hand, placing it over his trying to soothe my nerves. No, that can't be what he meant he wouldn't, right? Dream gently grabbed a hold of my free hand, pulling it twordes his lips, "Do we have a deal my dear?". I could feel Dream's eyes staring into me from behind the mask, eagerly awaiting my answer. I stayed silent, thinking of what I should do. Dream tilts his head to the side, his patients already wearing thin, "Well?".

Fuck, I'm overthinking this, just say something! Without even thinking I blurted out, "Yes!".

There was a string of silence, I looked down at my feet realizing what I had done.

I took a shaky breath. God I hope I made the right decision, I hope with al l my heart that this doesn't go wrong for me. I guess this is what I get for being so indecisive. Dream smirked, "You did, and you won't regret it. I'll see to that." I froze, did he just answer me? But I didn't even say anything. I lifted my head up in a confused manner, "Wait what-" before I could finish my sentence, Dream let go of my cheek and quickly placed his hand on my waist. Pulling me so close that there was hardly any space between us. I let out a short gasp before holding my breath.

 He leaned forward resting his head on my shoulder, Dream muttered "Now, I'll need you to stay still for me my dear." My eyes went wide, "Wha-" I was about to ask what the hell he was going on about, but I was cut off by a familiar foggy feeling.

My mind became blurry as my strength began to waver, "That's it George... rest now." Dream's voice was soothing, reassuring, only making me weaker as exhaustion took me. My body soon fell limp, and everything went blurry...

I couldn't tell what was going on around me, every sound, movement was slow, blurred, the only sense I had was my sense of touch. It felt as If my body was asleep. The only way I could describe it is sleep paralysis. I felt like I was trapped in my own body.

Felt my heartbeat spike, as I felt a hand gently shift my face to the right exposing my neck. Dream placed a gentle kiss on my forehead, then I felt a sharp cold object pierce into the skin of my neck. The pain slowly dragged along my skin almost like a brush on a canvas. Cutting through my flesh with little difficulty. As much as I wanted to squirm at the pain, my body refused to move.

Soon the pain faded as if it was never there in the first place, although my body felt drained and weak. I could feel myself starting to lose consciousness. I felt his lips gently press against my wound almost as a silent apology, at least that's what I assumed it was. Then through the fog I heard his voice, "Nu Gro Naal Sos, Ahst Fin Miin Do Fin Rah...". I was taken aback as Dream spoke in a language I had never heard before. It sounded outlandish, and I felt almost intimidated.

Then his voice broke through once more, "Zu'u Lost Wah Lost Hi. Zu'u  Fen Lost Hi." Dream hummed against my throat. This time when he spoke he sounded much more driven, almost aggressive, "Hi Wahl Aan Oblaan Bahlok Ahst Dovah, Aan Bahlok Daar Zu'u Lost Neh Luft Us. Zu'u Laan Wah Haalvut Hi Ahrk Dovah, Zu'u Laan Wah Saviik Hi. Ol Hi Bolog Nol Ahrk Dovah.". He kept going and going but at this point I was barely there any more. My senses started to fade once more, and everything went black...
