Dream wheezed as he flipped Kuro onto his back.
"You're an idiot." He looked at Kuro lay in the shallow water.
"And adorable~"

Kuro laid on his back, trying to claw Dream happily.
"Nooo... nooo.." he didn't want to be rolled over again.
"Up.."

Dream picked Kuro up.
"You're adorable!" He happily repeated, holding Kuro under his arms.

Kuro let out a giggle, completely confused what was going on.

As Dream was nuzzling Kuro.. George spoke up.

"Y'know that's considered a siren pup right?" George was gaining back his strength.. looking over at the two..

Dream looked over to his right... seeing George sun bathing on the sand- his tail resting in the water.
"Y'know I don't care." He smiled.
"I don't mind sirens, not at all! I'm in love with one after all."

"I know, that's not why I'm warning you." George smiled, tilting his head to the side as he watched Dream spend time with Kuro.
"There's another reason." He hummed.

"Why are you warning me?" Dream tilted his head, more confused.... But before he said anything else- he was cut off.

"Because..." George looked over, seeing Kuro bite dreams ear firmly.
"They are biters." He chuckled.
"They like to bite... I remember biting everything when I was younger."

Dream winced, pulling Kuro off his ear.
"Ow!" He looked at Kuro.
"Kuro!"

Kuro happily smiled, holding his hands up.
"Yay!" He was extremely happy.

George smirked faintly, resting happily.

Dream had an unimpressed look towards Kuro.
"As much as I want to scold this tiny thing." He cradled the smaller.
"I like him too much."

George smiled.. he thought it was cute that Dream cared so much about Kuro.
"Im glad you are back." He yawned
"I was worried."

Dream looked back at George, making his way over with Kuro.
"I missed you a lot too.." he cradled Kuro with one arm.
"A lot..."

George glanced up at Dream.. feeling relieved that Dream didn't hate him.
"I'm sorry I bit someone.." he mumbled softly.
"I just wanted to help."

Dream placed his other hand on George's cheek.
"It's okay George." He sat down.
"I still love you just the same... you are still George to me."

George was about to speak but was cut off when Kuro grabbed his lower jaw.. pulling his head down.

"Mama!" Kuro kneaded George's jaw.. giggling happily.

"I'm not your mama.." George lowered kuros hands down.. shaking his head.
"I'm just George." He felt bad for this pup to call him mom.

"But- dada.." Kuro pointed up at Dream.
"He talk- about mama.." he pointed at George.
"You mama."

George blinked, glancing at Dream.

"I.. may have spoken about you.... A lot." Dream rubbed the back of his head before holding Kuro out for George.
"It wouldn't hurt for you to be his mom." He smiled.

George was a bit hesitant but sighed.
"I'll try.." he bit Kuro up, cradling him in his arms.
"Come here,"

Dream felt happy that George was trying.
"He's barely slept." He shrugged faintly.
"I've never been able to put him to sleep."

George looked down at Kuro.. holding his hand over the baby siren pup..  rubbing kuros chest.

Kuro giggled, trying to grab George's hand.

George smiled.. pressing his finger on kuros nose lightly.
"That's not good, Kuro needs sleep." He hummed.

Kuro whined faintly, grasping George's fingers before giggling.

Dream watched as the two briefly bonded.
"We should take him to the ice cave." He nodded his head.
"Or whatever it is."

"That would be fun but dangerous." George looked up at Dream.
"we will probably have to bundle him up in something warm." He looked up at the clouds.
"It might snow again..."

Dream stood up, stretching his arms up.
"Perfect." He hummed.
"Then he can see sno-"

But before he spoke up- he was tackled from the side.

George and Kuro both jumped...

George perked up whilst Kuro hid in the sand.. practically burying himself.
"What the-" he looked at Dream.. seeing if he was being attacked- soon hissing along with Kuro.

But instead- it was Sapnap hugging the dumb blonde... he must have just gotten here.

-

Dream was surprised, looking over at Sapnap.
"Sapnap?!" He was confused as his friend hugged him tightly.
"Jesus Christ!"

"We were all so worrieddd.." Sapnap tightly hugged Dream... almost sounding like he was crying.
"We missed you!" He frowned.
"We thought you were gone!"

"I'm fine Sapnap." Dream tried moving Sapnap away.
"George saved me." He huffed.
"Now let go!"

Sapnap looked over, seeing George having a confused look.
"Sorry-" he sat up.. anxiously laughing.
"Didn't mean to steal your boyfriend for a moment."

George rolled his eyes.. glancing down at the sand... where did Kuro go?
"Whatever...," he patted the sand.

"Anyways-" Sapnap turned to dream.
"What happened to you?!" He grabbed the blondes shoulders.. shaking him.
"You've been gone for days!"

"I was just locked in a cell." Dream shrugged, looking over at George.
"Not much other then apparently I have a kid now." He smiled happily.. trying to spot Kuro.

"That's goo-" Sapnap soon froze.
"Wait- What?" He looked over at George.. seeing the brunette dusting the sand around.

"Hold on." Dream made his way over.
"Kuro?" He mumbled.

"Who the fucks Kuro." Sapnap blinked.. getting confused.
"I'd that a crab?"

"Shut up Sapnap."
Dream crouched down faintly.
"Kuro..?" He tapped the sand, smiling happily.

Sapnap stared as the sand.. soon seeing a small face peak out from the sand.. covered in bits and grains of sand.
"I-"

Dream smile grew, patting the top of kuros head.
"There you are." He chuckled.
"Hi Kuro!"

Kuro whined, trying to hide himself from Sapnap.

"HES SO CUTEEE!" Sapnap made his way over, practically shoving Dream out of the way.
"OH MY GODDD" he pointed his finger at Kuro.

Kuro hissed faintly, hiding his features.
"Bad.." he shook his head.

"No, he's good." Dream glared at Sapnap.
"He won't hurt you Kuro." He glanced back at Kuro.
"He's my friend."

Kuro held his hands up.. showing his fin like hands.

Sapnaps eyes widened, soon realizing it was not a normal kid.
"ITS A MER CHILD...?" He turned to dream.

"Siren." George hummed.. picking Kuro up from under his arms.
"He's a baby." He smiled.
"He won't hurt anyone."

Kuro giggled as George held under his arms... rubbing the sand on his face.

Dream was expecting Sapnap too freak out but he didn't.

"Hes sooo cuteeee.." Sapnap picked Kuro up.
"He's so tiny!!" He smiled happily.
"Awww!0

Kuro whined.. squirming faintly.... He didn't know who Sapnap was-
"Noo..." he whined.. waving his arms.

"Sorry, he doesn't like other people." Dream scooped Kuro up from sapnaps arms.
"But we should probably get back to the ship." He turned to George.
"I'd like to spend time with George."

George softly smiled.. looking up at Dream.

Sapnap rolled his eyes.. gagging.
"Yeah yeah, let's go."
