George laughed as Dream tried to tackle him.
"Your too slow!" He laughed, swimming around the blonde.
"You can't catch me."

"Your just making it hard to catch you!" Dream tried catching the brunette- but he was too fast.
"Stop moving so quick!" He tried reaching in the water to grabbed George but missed.
"George!"

George disappeared in the water, leaving the blonde clueless in the water.

Dream quickly perked up, looking around for any sign of George.
"George...?" He soon glanced at his arm.. seeing the faint scales on his wrist.
"Where did-.. ah shit."

He scrunched his nose before covering his sleeve- if George knew this was happening ever since they made out in the lagoon.. he would freak out-

Dream rubbed his arm, rubbing the few old scales away.
"There.." he hummed faintly.

Every time they have kissed.. it's gotten worse- so maybe if he just keeps rubbing at the scales it will go away.

"Dream? Are you okay..?"

Dream jumped, looking over at George.
"Jesus George! You scared me." He smiled softly.. covering his arm.
"I was trying to look for you! But I couldn't find you!"

George stared at dreams arm, soon swimming over to check what it was.
"Did you injure yourself..?" he tried grasping the blondes arm.
"You are covering you're ar-"

"No!" Dream pulled his arm away- shaking his head.
"I'm okay." He smiled softly, grasping his arm.
"Don't worry about me George."

George had a worried look.
"If you say so." He swam around dreams leg, settling down.
"I'm enjoying this date, I think it's really fun."

"I am as well." Dream soon sat down, letting George curl around him.
"Even though sapnaps taking forever to cook the food." He chuckled.

George rested his chin on dreams shoulder, nuzzling him faintly.
"Can I have a kiss..?" He smiled, looking over at Dream with a Soft look.

Dream was about to gladly kissed the brunette- before he remembered his arm... maybe he should wait for the scales to disappear.
"Mmm.. maybe not right this instant." He gripped his arm tightly.
"I want to save that kiss for later."

"Then.."
George nodded before looking at dreams hand.
"Can we at least hold hands..?" He spoke softly.

"Of course." Dream let his arm go, interlocking his finger with George's.
"I don't mind holding hands." He lowered there hands into the water.
"It's nice."

George looked at dreams arm, seeing the blondes sleeve go up to reveal the scales.
"Dream.." his eyes widened as he spoke in a soft tone.

"Yeah?" Dream smiled, looking at George.
"What is it?" He tilted his head.
"Something the matter..?"

"You're arm..." George continued to stare at dreams arm.
"It's-" his gaze soon softened.

Dream quickly looked down, seeing his arm was revealed.
"Oh- it's nothing." He quickly grabbed his arm, covering it back up.
"Let's just continu-"

"Why do you have scales..?" George spoke in a soft comforting tone, looking at the blonde with a soft gaze.
"You didn't before.... Is it new...?." He continued to speak softly.

Dreams gaze softened- should he tell George the truth what has been going on..?
"Yeah- I guess you can say that." He anxiously laughed.

"When did it start happening..." George paced around Dream, soon settling next to the blonde.
"Since It's been happening recently.. hasn't it." He knew he had to have done this.
"I didn't see it before."

"I don't want to ruin what we have." Dream shook his head, looking down at the water.
"I'd rather not talk about it if it will... I like what we have." He mumbled.

"Dream.. I promise.. nothing will change." George hugged dreams side, speaking softly.
"Just.. talk to me." He mumbled.
"I want to figure out and help."

Dreams gaze softened before sighing.. he should tell George.
"It started happening at the water fall.. after we made out I guess you could say- I had scales growing on my arms and I told no one since they haven't really affected me." He rolled up he sleeve.
"I didn't want to ruin what we had.. so I never said anything to you."

George's eyes widened faintly... so it was his fault... but how did he cause it..?
"I'm sorry... that must be why my song doesn't work on you." He rested his hands on his lap.
"Cause of this."

"I didn't expect to be turning into a siren." Dream chuckled faintly, teasing as he nudged George.
"At least we would be matching." He hummed.

"I don't think we should do anything along the lines of kissing for a little bit... I don't want this to get worse." George felt terrible.. Dream shouldn't have to deal with that.
"Let's go sit for it to get better."

"Damn." Dream grumbled, scrunching his nose.
"I had so much planned for us too." He smiled as he looked at George with a teased look.

George cocked a brow.
"Like what..?" He tilted his head.. he was confused.

Dream leaned forward.
"Kissing you once more." He kissed the brunette again- firming into the kiss.

George jumped but he wanted to melt into the kiss.
"Nono-" he slowly backed Dream away.
"You're arm might get worse! I can't let that happen!!"

"And..?" Dream smiled- he didn't care.
"I don't care at this point." He hummed- shrugging once more.

"I do.." George covered dreams mouth.
"You're crew hates me enough... I don't want to ruin you as well." He sighed.
"Okay?"

"Well~ I could ruin you if you let me~" Dream teased, leaning forward.

George smacked the top of dreams head.
"No." He growled faintly.
"If kissing you is bad, I don't want to know what this will do too you."

"Like- what kind of bad?" Dream cocked a brow.
"Hm?" He hummed.

"If you're getting scales.. you're body might be trying to change.. so it's best we don't do anything for awhile." George cupped dreams cheeks.
"Okay...? I don't want you being sad about this.. I just want you to be okay."

"Don't worry, I am alright." Dream rested his hand on George's hips.
"Only if we are still allowed to cuddle." He hummed.

George nodded happily- the tip of his tail waving.
"Yeah! I don't mind." He lifted himself onto Dream.
"Are we able to eat in you're room?"

"Why..? Do you not like it out here?" Dream was confused- didn't George like it out here?

"I do- it's just so cold." George shivered..
"And I want to go inside." He rested his hands on dreams shoulder.

"Then we will go inside." Dream picked George up, fully standing up with the brunettes in his arm.
"We should probably check on you're wounds as well."

George curled his tail around dreams leg, resting
"Yeah.." he yawned.
"Let's just get inside."
