Fly Phoenix Fly (Dream Team/ Maybe ship)

Chapter 4

Nick looked away from Dream. "I can't tell you. Not without your dad here to tell you the full story," Nick said quietly.

Dream glared at Nick then shoved him onto the couch. He looked down at Nick, clenching and unclenching his fists. Just as he was about to go upstairs so he didn't hit Nick the front door opened, revealing their dads.

The two fathers looked into the living room to see Nick on the couch frozen and Dream in front of him with clenched fists. Dream's dad stepped forward and rested his hand on his son's shoulder.

Dream, who was looking down at this point, unclenched his fists. Dream let out a shaky breath as he brought his hands up to his chest. "What am I?"

Dream's father looked at him confused. "What do you mean? You're my son."

Dream looked at his dad out of the corner of his eye, his eyes glowing a very bright green. Hints of red and orange filtered into the iris of his eyes almost like an inner flame that Dream never knew he had. "No Dad, what am I? I'm not human am I?" Dream said his head to stare his father in the eyes.

Dream's dad looked at him then sighed. "You should sit down for this story son..."

Dream walked into the school with Nick. They haven't actually talked since the day the truth came out to Dream.

All this time he thought he was human but to find out 16 years later that he's not; or he is but not fully? This whole thing is so confusing. Dream walked ahead of Nick running a hand through his hair. Nick would see his later, then they can talk.

Dream came to an abrupt stop when he bumped into someone. Dream, out of reflex, reached forward and grabbed the person he bumped into. He looked down at the person and saw George. Dream helps George get balanced then lets go of him. Dream stares at George for a second longer then walked away. He needed to be alone today.

Dream walked through the dark forest, biting his thumb nail while in thought. His mother was a phoenix? His father married a phoenix? He wasn't a human ally after all?

Dream quickly came to a stop as he almost walked right off a cliff. He looked down over the side and into the ocean. The ocean was beautiful. Something he'd never seen before. Dream sat down on the edge of the cliff continuing to look at the ocean.

He continued to look over the edge at the ocean then looked behind himself to see if anyone was there. Dream, not seeing anyone, stood up and began to step back into the tree line. He paused for a second before taking off towards the cliffside in a sprint. As soon as he reached the edge he jumped off and began falling towards the rocks and raging water. Dream closed his eyes and smiled feeling the cool air hit his face as he fell. Inside, Dream could feel a fire he'd never felt before start to burn. The fire quickly started focusing on his shoulder blades. Dream opened his eyes looking back down at the fast approaching ocean and rocks. He spun midair, wings made of fire sprouting from his back and carrying him back up away from the rocks and water that were sure to kill him.

Dream slowly landed on the cliff. He looked behind himself just in time to see the wings of fire disappearing from their place on his back.

Nick walked through the streets with his father. The two had decided to go out shopping for more food to last till Nick and Dream got back from the raid them and the other generals were going to lead. Nick grabbed a bunch of easy to cook meals for if the older men were ever to busy to cook. His dad thanked him then looked back at the canned goods on the shelf in front of them. Nick's dad grabbed a good amount of each. The two continued on this pattern till they finished shopping and headed back out to their cart. Nick grabbed the reins and untied them quickly tossing them over the horse's head and climbed into the drivers seat of the cart. He snapped the reins and the horse began walking away and towards the gates. The two exited the city, quickly Nick snapped the reins the horse beginning to trot at a fast pace.

The two made it home just as the sun was starting to set. Dream and his dad walked outside to help the two with the groceries. Luckily this lead to them only needing one trip between the cart and the house. Nick set the last can in the cabinet before seeing Techno and Wilbur walking towards the house. He nudged Dream and the two looked at their dads. Their dads smiled and hugged them as they gave them their bags. The boys made their way outside and towards the other two generals.

The four disappeared into the forest. Not to be seen for another few years.
