C.W. — Smut

The morning sun greeted Clay and George in George's bedroom. Clay was the first to wake up. But we wasn't compelled to start the day right away. He just watched George for a moment. A smile formed on his face when memories of last night found him.

Hushed giggles and shushing as the two boys ran through the castle to George's room both in their underwear and both sopping wet. Clay lead George quickly through the corridors, knowing the way around the castle by heart even in the dark. George held hopelessly onto his clothes in one hand and Clay's hand in the other. Both of them were trying to stifle their laughter in order not to alert anyone of their presence. But the absurdity of the situation and the way everything seemed down right hilarious, made being silent extremely difficult. When they got to his room they both burst out laughing. They dried off and changed into sleeping clothes before getting under the covers. Dream had asked repeatedly if George wanted him to leave, but George insisted he spend the night.

Only a few gentle fleeting kisses were shared before they fall asleep together under George's lush duvet covers.

Clay brushed a bit of George's fringe off his face. This woke George up. But instead of opening his eyes, he just smiled and pretended to be upset.

"Let me sleep you."

"I thought you liked waking up to me."

George couldn't help but smile a bit harder and pull the covers up a little closer to him to hide his reddening face.

Dream also smiled harder and pulled he covers down just enough to kiss the tip of George's nose. George finally opened his eyes and blinked up at Dream. He almost laughed when he did. His hair was a mess and the sun was rising behind him through the balcony doors. He had no business being this angelic in the morning. He was about to say something when there was a knock at the door.

Dream without having to be told, jumped up and went under the bed.

Karl announced he was coming in and opened the door

"Oh thank god."

"What?" George asked

"You're here. That means Dream found you. Gods almighty, I was so scared. Where were you last night?" Karl spoke as he went into the bathroom beginning to prepare a bath.

George thought back on last night and was glad Karl wasn't in the room to see his blush "I was in the garden." Technically it wasn't a lie.

"Well I'm just glad Dream found you and you haven't been kidnapped."

"Right."

A few moments later, Karl came out of the bathroom "All ready!"

"I think I've got it from here. I don't want to be a bother but I just want to sit in the hot water for a while this morning. Why don't you go to the kitchen and get some breakfast for yourself? I heard the cook is fond of you."

"I- I" Karl blushed and stuttered "I'm not exactly sure- what you're referring to but sure I'll- yeah-"

"Take your time." and with that, Karl was gone "He's gone." George laughed. Dream hopped up from the floor and smiled at him.

"Good morning!" He chimed

George flushed a bit and looked away "you barbarian."

"I'll leave you in peace now your Highness." Dream made his way to the door but in a moment of impulse George called out

"Dream-"

Clay stopped in his tracks and turned to face the Prince again

"Yes?"
