The Sailor And His Siren

Human

"Sap- Sapnap..?" Dream stuttered again, as if Sapnap was going to magically answer him. What he found was profoundly disturbing, he had to take a step back and catch his breath before he passed out again, this time nowhere. Sapnap was laying there, or well he was in....pieces. Sapnap's torso was attached to his head but the rest of his body... the rest of his body was scattered around just lying there. Dream saw his right arm in a what looked like to be a trap, his left leg beside a tree with his left hand. It was so disturbing Dream ended up throwing up.

"Sapnap, who did this to you? Man, I- what am I going to tell Wilbur?" Dream could not bear to look at the sight again, so he went away to find Wilbur in hopes that he wasn't dead too. Why had this happened? Dream really needed to get off this island, and fast. And now he really felt the urgency of leaving this hell place, George needed to do something quick.

George was just waiting for Dream. He had already healed Wilbur enough so he would not die, now they just needed a red cap mushroom and Wilbur would be awake in no time, but he was not sure when he would return. George tried to convince himself that Sapnap was okay, and Dream of course, but he had this feeling he could not shake, a feeling that something had happened to one of them.

Dream was walking back before he remembered why he came there in the first place; he was looking for a red cap mushroom. "Shit, I can't come back without it. I need Wilbur alive." Dream decided to just wander around until he found what he needed and lucky for him, he did eventually find a red cap mushroom. One side was a bit brown, but that surely was not a problem... right? Dream decided to just take it in case he did not find anything and walked back for the second time. He came back to the two boys and George seemed surprised that Dream came back... alone, I guess.

"Did you manage to find Sapnap?" George whispered to Dream, hoping that Sapnap was just walking somewhere far behind. Or well, George thinks that he was hoping, but in reality, he was not worried at all. "Uhm, well the thing is that I found him." George knew that there was a 'but' coming, there always is. "- but he was... chopped up by someone and left there." Dream almost threw up again by the thought of Sapnap in that state; and George noticed Dream was starting to tear up. "Come here Dream." George told Dream and held his hands out. Dream came over to George and they sat there hugging for a while before Dream remembered the mushroom that he had brought for Wilbur. He really wanted to stay in Georges hug. He was wet, sure, but George was so soft, and his grip felt so safe to be in. Dream could hear and feel George slowly breath against his neck and they just sat there. Dream knew this could not last forever, so he was the first one to break the hug and take out the mushroom.

"I- I found the mushroom. It's a bit rotten on one side." As Dream told George, he just nodded and took the Mushroom out of Dream's hands before he started to crush it up. "People usually use these types of mushrooms as drugs, but we will use it to wake Wilbur up. I patched up all the places Wilbur was hurt and now we have to wake him up. These types of mushrooms have awful smell when you crush them up and that's what will hopefully wake him up. I can't do so much to his wounds since I'm not a nurse or anything like that, but it should hold for now."

George was right, it smelled terrible, and Dream had to stand back to not die of the awful smell. George seemed fine though, like he had done this a thousand time before, and well maybe he had what could Dream know. But the smell was enough to wake Wilbur up, he woke up so fast, like he was stressing, and he suddenly stood up. "Dude, sit down you just woke up from whatever the fuck had happened to you." Dream harshly told Wilbur, and he seemed to calm down a bit sitting down on the sand and looking at George and Dream. "Dream, Sap-" Wilbur did not manage to get his sentence out, but Dream knew what had happened, or well he saw what happened to Sapnap while he was gone. "Wilbur, Sapnap is dead." As Dream told Wilbur he started to cry again, Wilbur seemed to tear up and suddenly both of them where just making a puddle from their tears. George did not know what to do, this was new for him. So, he did what he did to Dream, hug them in hopes that it calmed both of them down.

It was a while before they calmed down, but eventually they did, and Dream even fell asleep in George's arm. It made George blush a little, but he shook it off since now was not the time for him to blush. "Sooooo, what are we going to do now? We need to work together as much as possible now." George told quietly not wanting to disturb the boys as they wanted to stay longer, but Wilbur answered. "George, do you think if u go out of the water you become a human? We authentically need that right now seeing as it's only me and Dream left."

George thought for a moment but decided that it was the only right thing to do. So, he went away from Wilbur and Dream, making Dream wake up in the process and then he started to slowly go out of the water. As he went out his tail slowly became a pair of skinny legs. George acted surprised even though he had done this before. He was lying to the boys, again...

George did not like to lie, but if they found out his true intensions, they would leave him or kill him. George had to lie so save himself and his friends, even if that meant being untruthful in the process. "Holy fuck George, you- you're naked get some clothes on!!!" Dream screamed so loudly it felt like George's ears were going to legit explode. "I- how the fuck did that just happen?" George questioned. Both Dream and Wilbur did not respond since they were currently fixated on giving George clothes and looking at his legs.

"Here have Wilbur's sweater and my pants." Dream told George and gave him the clothes. George did as told, he took the clothes and changed into them. Both of the clothes looked stylish and dirty since they did not have time to wash them. The sweater was a pine green with gold like patterns while the pants were a charcoal type of grey. He pants were a type of cargo.

"Thank you for the clothes, at least I won't be freezing anytime soon." George thankfully told them. George seemed to appreciate the kind gesture even though it was just a normal gesture. That evening they ended up sitting by the fireplace and for the first time George got to appreciate everything close up, he even cuddled with Dream in a friend way, well if there was a friend way to hug. Dream did not seem to mind it, he was actually very happy he got to spend time with George and for the first time see George dry and out of the water. His hair was so fluffy it was crazy, Dream took notice quickly and started to analyse George from close up. He had a few freckles, about 10 sprinkled a across his face almost like they were hand placed there with precision. They looked like stars in the midst of the night when the stars come forward to overlook the world while we are sleeping. His hair looked like a wave that was both tall but also so majestic, almost like it was just meant to be there. That's what Dream felt in this moment. Maybe he was destined to be here stranded, maybe all of this was the gods plans, to make George and Dream meet.

Dream was stilled bummed about Sapnaps death. He was like a brother to him so naturally it hit him the hardest, but after looking at the face of the most precious boy on this wild earth; he actually seemed to forget it for a while, which was good for Dream and his sorrows. That night Dream ended up not talking, but rather listening to Wilbur and George having a conversations; Dream wanted to engage in it, but decided against it in the end.

George ended up staying the night and told the two boys he would make some sort of lie for why George never came home.
