Dream regained his posture and walked back to the room George was being held. He opened the door and looked around for the familiar boy that was still where he had left him.

"Miss me?" Dream grinned and walked towards the shorter boy.

George had his eyes wide open and looked as if he'd seen a ghost. Dream seemed not to notice and walked towards him before grabbing his pocket knife and cutting the tape.

"your-" George cut himself off and lifted his finger to Dream's face. That's when Dream realized he had left his mask in the living room. 

He jumped back and practically ran to get his mask. 

George didn't see Dream again that day.

Dream came in silently for breakfast the next day. George looked up at him before gazing at the floor. 

"I'm sorry," George mumbled loud enough for Dream to hear. 

Dream stopped what he was doing and stared at George.

"What?" Dream looked at George, confused. 

"I know I'm not meant to see your face..." George muttered.

Dream sighed and took a seat next to George, "It's not your fault; I was the one who forgot my mask. Please don't look so sad."

"Why-" George thought for a moment and stopped speaking.

"What is it?" Dream held up George's chin.

George looked to the side for a second before resuming what he was saying, "Why do you wear the mask then? If you're okay with me seeing your face?"

Dream sat there silently for a bit before answering, " I don't know... I'm just used to it. I even wear it when I go to see-" Dream stopped speaking immediately. It was as if he shouldn't have said anything. 

"huh?" George tilted his head sideways and stared at Dream.

"I just wear it often," Dream stood up and walked out of the room, leaving a confused George behind.

So, what do you think? Who do you think Dream was talking about. 

Hint: they've been mentioned once in another chapter.
