A Demonic Dance

Chapter Twenty Five: Blue Flowers

Side note: I've started a Dream SMP oneshot book so go check it out :D
Plz I'm desperate
It has non-slow burn dnf, I know you want it 🥺

"Anyway, the final one?"

"Ah yes, Furieux. They... well let's just say you never want to meet one of those. First, quick history lesson on becoming a demon, basically you are tortured for what feels like eternity, watching the things you love die in torturous ways over and over and over again until you hit near insanity then voila, demon here you come. Now in that I would like you to focus on the 'near insanity'. Because sometimes, the fragile ones will break, and that's when you get a Furieux. Crazy, fragmented demons that are born from insanity and torment. Their sanity lost in the endless torture. Luckily their numbers are few. But let's just say most people that encounter them don't live long to tell the tale. And there you go. That's the 5 demons of hell for ya."

George looked at him shocked for a few seconds, processing the truckload of information Dream had just dumped on him. "That sounds... lovey."

"Yup. Anything else you'd like to know?"

"Yeah, one more thing." George replied, leaning his head back against he headrest, shuffling to get more comfy. "It's about another thing she said."

Dream leaned forward slightly, glancing at the human. "Ask away."

"What did she mean when she said you hadn't 'marked' me yet. Is, is that a good thing or a bad thing?" George questioned.

"Ah, that..." Yet again Dream paused, having to question how to answer. "You see, basically, once a human has been... well, if you have an encounter with one and say the demon uses its demonic ness, like amplifies your emotions or enters a dream, it leaves a mark on your soul, a mark that is visible to demons and shows them literally how damaged you are. Because technically draining a human soul fully is illegal because if it wasn't everyone would do it and just cause utter calamity. And otherwise when she was talking about how she hadn't fed off a soul as pure as yours for a while she was just referencing to how no demon has like, you know, done anything to your soul which I guess was just unusual." Dream explained in the least confusing way he could.

In a way George found it quite easy to understand. Of course there would be demon rules and weird demonic attributes to what they did. Just like how humans had their own weird quirks and strange attributes, it made sense demons would have them too.

"You understanding me George?" Dream asked after a period of silence from the smaller, bringing George to of his thoughts.

"Yeah yeah, I understand." He replied, turning to give Dream a smile before something next to dream on his bedside table caught his attention. "Are those— are those flowers?" George asked at the realisation that there were indeed a bunch of flowers sitting next to him, his mind however grazing over the fact that they had been placed in a measuring jug.

"Oh yeah." Dream replied sheepishly, scratching the back of his head. "You, you can see them right? Not that they'd be invisible to you or something just that like you can see their actual colour. You can see blue right? Im pretty sure you said you could see blue when you told me about your weird ass eyes. And I like, well I did some research and apparently you humans give people flowers when they're hurt or something so I thought why not. I didn't know which kinda blue you preferred so I just kinda asked if I could have like one of all the colours of blue they had. Like, umm, er, I think this ones like Colbat blue, that's Prussian blue, I think that That's Thalo blue but I also know Thalo green is a thing but you know, it's blue and—" Dream rambled before being cut off by George, engulfing him in a hug.

"Don't worry. I can see them. They're pretty"

"Not as pretty as you." Dream shot back teasingly, squeezing George a bit tighter.

"I hate you so much." George replied sarcastically, glad Dream couldn't see the goofy smile spreading across his face.

"Sure, you keep telling yourself that Princess."

"You bet I will."
