Smiling Ghosts

[~~)George(~~]

The Soots have stayed for awhile, Tommy and Tubbo had made quite a liking for the abandoned toys in the attic. "George?" Tommy asked whilst walking down the stairs, "May I have this wooden sword?"

"Of course you can!"

Then Tubbo brought forth a plastic diamond shield, "May I have this as well?"

I nodded, "I couldn't see why not. If you both can split the toys among yourselves, you can have all of it."

Tommy's face went wide, "All of it! That's poggers! Let's go raid him! Charge!"

He raised the sword and ran up stairs, then Tubbo went up with this battle like scream. Sally smiled and watched her boys, "Thank you for that George. I really appreciate it."

I only shrugged, "It's no problem."

Wilbur's smiling face dropped, he looked at me with a glint of worry in his eyes. "George, have you seen the ghost?"

I couldn't just say yes and admit that I broke a rule of the agreement, "No. I haven't actually. Peculiar things happen, but no figures have showed itself."

Suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to drop. A loud bang echoed throughout the barren house. Whoops.

"Peculiar things like that." I decided to add.

Wilbur nodded, "Alright. Well, most people have seen a blonde haired man, well they have claimed to. Usually by the third night."

I guess I'm special. I saw him within the first hour.

"Oh? Well then, I should keep my eyes open."

After an hour or so of pleasant talk, they had finally left. I decided to put up all of the new dishes and such in the cupboards.

I grabbed comfortable clothes and hopped in the shower. I took a hot shower and breathed in the suffocating steam. Once I wrapped the towel around my body, I saw a smiley face on the mirror.

I raised an eyebrow and wiped it away. Soon enough, Dream was there staring back at me. This time, I didn't scream. I knew who he was now. He was in a yellow like hoodie, with blue ripped jeans. He stepped out of the mirror and towered over me.

He smiled. "Hello George. You haven't seen me? Why would you lie?" I rolled my eyes, "I know who you are Dream. I know everything about you."

"I know everything about you as well George."

"How?" I scoffed. I knew he was only lying. Unlike him, I have access to the internet. "I'm in your head." For some odd reason, he booped my nose. "I even know what you're thinking this minute. Now when you see Wilbur, you're going to tell him you saw me."

I smirked, "What if I don't?"

"George, I can literally influence your dreams. Do you really want to test me?"

"Perv! You watch me while I sleep?!"

He only shrugged. He grabbed my hand and led me to my bedroom. He turned around and looked out the window. I took the signal to get dressed. I threw shorts on and a t-shirt.

I laid down on my bed, somehow exhausted. I pulled my covers on and closed my eyes. Unexpectedly, I felt pressure on the other side of the bed. I nearly jumped when a pair of arms wrapped around me.

A ghost was cuddling with me. Instead of resisting and throwing him off of me, I relaxed and turned to him. He pressed a chaste kiss on my forehead. I ran my hand threw his soft hair. Within seconds, we had both fallen asleep.

The darkness of my slumber was interrupted by the blinding morning light. I felt cold, I opened my eyes to the missing presence. I shook my head and came to the conclusion I had only dreamt it.

I changed into a thick sweater, ripped skinny gray jeans, and my silver round rimmed glasses. I messed with my hair and walked down the stairs. I wanted to see the town, but I chose not to do it today.

The calmness of the house drowned me with a lonely feeling. "Dream! Hello!"

I wandered around the house and walked down the basement. The bookshelf and couch were still there.

"Dream! Dream! I WILL call your name seven times! I will do it!"

"Dream! Dream! Dream! Dream!"

A hand went over my mouth, then I was being hushed. "GEORGE! Don't ever do that again!"

"Why?" He turned me to face him, "Because I said so." His face was stern and no trace of a joke.

I looked down at my feet and sighed. His hand rested on my jaw, and then he lifted my face up. He smiled and kissed my forehead, "No more frowning."

He walked over to the jukebox and a familiar melody filled my ears.

I bless the day I found you
I wanna stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me

Let it Be from the Everly Brothers filled the lifeless room. Dream grabbed my hand and led me to the spacious area.

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me

His gentle voice echoed off the words.

I looked into his yellow eyes, "You're talented you know."

Each time we meet love

"I love you George."

I find complete love

"I know."

Without your sweet love
What would life be

The music faded into the background as white noise as our lips met once again.

"Say you love me." Dream whispered in my ear. His hot breath tickling my neck.

So never leave me lonely

"I know you love me."

Tell me you love me only

"George, I want you to love me back."

And that you'll always

"I.. love you Dream."

Let it be me
