Fifteen - Meeting

TW: Swearing, Threats, General Badass Y/N Thoughts 😎

Dream's POV

This meeting better bet worth my time. From the buzz I've heard around the SMP lands, Schlatt doesn't have much going for him right now. But he seems to be 2 steps ahead from the confidence he's holding.

At least George is giving me the inside scoop. Apparently a debate was held between the two main candidates, team SWAG and POG. And it sounded like it may not have been the most successful event, but gave the people a good look at what they were voting for. Or, part of it. Somehow two more parties had entered, and it wasn't exactly very formal.

This election could end up in shambles if the wrong person was put into office. It had been an hour since I had woken up, and I decided to go for a run in the forest behind the house where nobody could see my face, especially this early in the morning with how late everyone else sleeps in. I let my thoughts flow freely as I ran fast and far. My body glistened with sweat when I got back, and I felt like I was in a lava pool. I walked in the door and I slid my shoes off my feet before heading upstairs. I was really going to need to wash this shirt.

As I passed by Y/N's door, I wanted to make sure she was up so that she was ready when our guest arrived.

"Hey, Y/N?" I said, knocking on her door. No response. I opened the door to find an empty room. My attention was drawn to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. I saw the clothes set out on the couch out here. Uh oh. I went to knock on the bathroom door. "Hey, princess?"

"Oh, uh, yeah?" She said. I heard the water turn off. "Hey, could you bring me those clothes on the couch?"

"Yeah, just a second," I replied, grabbing the clothes. I tried my best to keep the fresh cloth away from my sweat. She peeked the door open ever so slightly, smiling as she grabbed the stack of clothes from me and shut the door. "Well, I was about to wake you up so you could start getting ready, but I guess you were one step ahead."

"I heard you stomping around this morning, it was enough to wake a napping sloth," She joked.

"Oh, I thought I was being quiet. Normally Nick would have heard me, he's a pretty light sleeper."

"Who?"

"Sapnap? Nick? Same person."

"Ohh, makes sense," She said, opening the door and walking over to rummage through her wardrobe. It looked like it was mostly made of weapons, but the very bottom held some clothes. Yeesh, this shirt was getting too hot. I slipped it off over my head and used it to wipe the sweat off my face. She began to turn around as she spoke next. "So should I wear something badass, formal, or intimidating casua-"

She paused as her eyes fell on my shirtless torso. She completely froze up, eyes unwavering from my abs.

"Like what you see, princess?" I chuckled, walking closer. Her cheeks were as red as tomatoes.

"...yeah, definitely," She mumbled. I lifted her chin up to pry her gaze away.

"My eyes are up here, sweetheart," I whispered, leaning down so my lips brushed hers. God, she was gorgeous. And to think I hadn't seen her beauty until yesterday. "And definitely badass. Go wild. But wear something green, I want him to know you aren't on the market."

I kissed her gently for a moment before leaving her so I could shower and change. We had about three hours until we were expecting Schlatt to join us.

Three hours.
