[dreamwastaken x georgenotfound, road trip au, high school au, completed] Dream is running from his problems. You would be too if you were in his situation. Unfortunately, the only person available to help give him a ride is a childhood friend he hasn't spoken to since middle school. George is running from his memories. And his problems. And his old life. And his feelings. And he "borrowed" a car and he has a lot of spare time so when his old pal needs a ride across the country, he's happy to offer. The problem is, there are a few problems. One: Four years can definitely change a lot about a person, much less two people. Two: You can only suppress emotions for so long before they resurface. Three: Being runaways means you are running from someone. alt: two gays stuck in a car together with their suppressed emotions and childhood memories. what could go wrong?

Clay's world is determined by the color of the eyes. His green eyes make him a member of the weak and poor Vilis community, being there to serve the powerful Pretiosi. The Pretiosi- and only those- have incredible powers due to their extraordinary eye colors. The day when Clay loses his best friend, his life is about to change completely. He somehow gets to work in the great diamond castle of the Pretiosi royal family, where he meets the young Prince George who makes his heart beat faster and question his beliefs. But he also gets in contact with the dangerous Black Rebellion which is fighting against the Pretiosi Empire without mercy. During the roller coaster of emotions, Clay gets in huge danger when his enemies find out about his true eye color- and the power that comes with it. Soon he is forced to decide between his heart and his moral- betraying the one he loves or fighting for a better future for millions of people.

George is slowly breaking apart from the inside out. Every inconvenience leads him further away from himself, and he's not really sure if he can go back to who he was before. Years of pretending to be someone else has blurred the lines at this point. So when a party goes awry, George finds himself laying in the middle of the road, wanting nothing more than to no longer exist. It almost happens. 8 inches separating him from death. Dumb decisions lead to dumb actions that lead to irreparable damage. And George really screwed himself over with one really bad, untimely decision. Dream seems to be the only one to have any idea of how George is feeling. and he seems to be the only one noticing how he's breaking apart. It takes one tourtured soul to recognize another, after all. ~ "Didn't your mom tell you not to take candy from strangers?" "Of course she did, but I would have to care to actually listen."
