"Entanglement" ~A DreamXD x Reader

Chapter 5

It was the next day, DreamXD seemed to be adapting to being a mortal quite well. He was doing everything that he was supposed to, like eating and sleeping. Sometimes I could tell that he was struggling, especially when it came to cooking. In general the god was just fun to be around too, never being a bother and doing his share. If I didn't know any better you could probably say that I was falling for this immortal being. That would be all around wrong though, we came from different worlds. The other gods certainly wouldn't approve either, especially his little sister Drista. Foolish was his younger brother, and while he didn't have many powers he definitely had a say in what XD does with his life, he probably wouldn't approve of him dating a mortal either. It was truly a disappointment that we could only be friends, but maybe he didn't even like me back.

"Hey Dream!" I called my new best friend. He was busy shearing my sheep, but he turned to me.

"I thought I told you not to call me that," DreamXD seemed a bit angered, "I don't want to be compared to him... It's already bad enough that people think of me as the enemy god."

"What do you mean?" I sympathetically touched XD's arm.

"Ever since I dropped that book, disasters have been happening. If I try to undo it the rest of the timeline will be altered and I'll be interfering again. The immortal started to cry into my shoulder, he really was just a softie.

"Stop that... You're the best person I know! Don't let anybody else's foolish words get in the way of any of that!" I tried to convince him.

"Thank you Y/n, I honestly don't know what I would do without you," The divinity smiled and wrapped his arms around me a little bit, my heart began to speed up a little bit with the contact. The god stared into my eyes, and I found myself getting lost into his eyes as well.

I moved my head even closer to XD's head, this was the moment! I was sure that he was about to kiss me, but suddenly he pulled back.

Surprised, I whispered, "What's wrong?"

"I- I can't!" He blurted out and I felt myself become frustrated. So what if the other gods didn't approve or whatever? If we liked each other we could like each other, why did there have to be all of these rules? He was the one who had chosen to become a mortal for three months, he was the one who had wanted to come with me of all people!

A tear swelled up and I took a step back, "If you don't like me you could just say it," I needed to confirm that he actually did.

"It's not that! The other gods... Drista especially, I mean Callahan might not care-" The divinity rambled on and on.

"So you're just letting them control your entire life? Aren't you the most powerful god?" I half-muttered a bit angrily. My own emotions were all mixing together into a confusing mess.

"Someday you will die Y/n, and then I will be left all alone forever. For the rest of eternity I will be left lonely and sad. Maybe it would just be better if I left!" With this sudden change of heart he snapped his fingers and vanished into a cloud of smoke and dust.

Trembling with fury and sadness I walked out of the sheep enclosure and slammed the barn door shut. I needed to go on a walk to clear my head of thoughts. Breathing shakily, I walked down the gravel path and off my property, I then found myself running faster and faster, the memories of what had just happened already slipping from my mind in haze. I ended up wandering into the dark spruce forest behind my house, the afternoon light trickling through the oak branches making a lovely ambience.

Little birds and other animal noises soothed me of the heartbreak and I found myself already smiling again. It quickly faded away however, everything reminding me of DreamXD. Just the other day we had been cooking eggs steak together, him not knowing how to and it all ending up on the ground. I began to cry again, this was so unfair! Was I just destined to never find love? Perhaps this is how it was all meant to be.

I had been sitting on a small stump in the middle of the forest for who knows how long when I realized that it was already twilight. Worried that mobs would start spawning I tried to find my way for the now dark and ominous trees but I kept going in circles and ending up at the clearing again. Night had completely fallen and zombies started appearing. I grabbed a stick and began to kill them, but soon an entire horde was on me.

A few skeletons appeared as well, some creepers blowing up and thinning out the horde but more and more spawning in. Suddenly a skeleton sent out an arrow, with no time to react this would surely be the end, but something blocked the shot.

It was Wilbur! Never had I been more glad to see him in all my life. Holding up a large shield he eyed me, "Are you injured?" He finally spoke, lighting a torch and taking my hand, leading me back towards my house.

"No, thanks to you at least," I giggled a little bit.

"So what were you doing out in the middle of the forest at night?" My old friend inquired.

"XD left, we were going to kiss... But then he said he couldn't do this, whatever that's supposed to mean," I admitted.

"Does that mean I have a chance?" Wilbur slyly made me laugh.

"Oh my gosh stop it," I punched his arm playfully, but suddenly he stopped walking.

"I'm being serious," He spoke up, his voice becoming deeper but slightly ashamed, "No, sorry, this is a bad time," The Ex- L'manburg leader continued to walk, (Just realized that he is supposed to be dead, let's just pretend he never died or somethin lol) but I grabbed his arm and caused him to stop in his tracks.

"I'll think about it," I spoke up, my cheeks becoming slightly red and not because of the chilly weather.

"Ok," Was all he managed to say and the two of us walked home, both of us deep in thought of what had just happened, particularly me. Maybe it would be worth giving Wilbur a shot.
