Hey Dreamer

The First Dream (1)

um... hi. 🖤

james went to bed exhausted and expecting a dreamless sleep, he hadn't had any dreams since he was 6. he was 17 now so he had no idea if he could even dream... well, you should never expect anything. tonight, he'd have his first dream in more than 10 years. he'll dream about a girl, a girl sitting in the forest, surrounded by books. when he wakes, he'll freak out and be excited about the fact that he can dream. when he wakes, he'll wish the girl was real. when he wakes, he'll have no idea that she is. she is real and... she's been having dreams of her own, and her name, was sea.

sea had already had a dream of james a few days ago. she had found it odd to have dreams about someone she'd never met, she'd thought she made him up. her dream was similar to his in a way, it's setting was still in the forest she likes to read in, but this time instead of reading she was laying down with her head in his lap, him playing with her short hair. tonight she was hoping to dream of the guy she thought she dreamed up. she did. they had a long conversation in a restraunt but when she woke up she didn't know what they had spoken about or where they had been, but she could remember emotion. she couldn't tell you what emotion but she could tell you that it made her happy.

it was a few weeks until either of them had a dream of the other and when they did it was blurry, this pattern would go on and on for a good four or five months, sometimes it'd be like the first dream, sometimes they'd share the dream, still believing the other to be just that. a dream... one day however, a little before sea's 16th birthday she went to a concert, turns out... james was going too.

what. a. coincidence.
