TW: The End.

Long ass authors note, feel free to skip.

3rd Person POV

"Are you awake, George?" Dream asked quietly, staring at the boy in his arms.

"I am now." George said with a hint of annoyance.

Dream smiled warmly, squeezing George against him and shoving his face into his brown locks.

"You slept for a long time..." He mumbled.

"I was tired." George wrapped his arms around Dream in return, despite being practically suffocated by Dream's death grip around him.

"Mhm..." Dream paused for a moment, taking a deep breath. "Do you um... Wanna go back?" He asked in a small, unsteady voice.

"What?" George asked, confused, as he tilted his head up trying to look at Dream.

"To your old life... Do you wanna go back." He said, you could hear the sadness hidden in his tone as much as he tried to conceal it and stay strong.

"I..." For a moment, George found himself dumbstruck. Was Dream suggesting? Or was he genuinely asking, wanting to know? And why after a night like that?

George thought for a moment... Did he want to go back...? I mean, to be honest George really hadn't thought about it much since his escape attempt... And although that might not have been too long ago, a lot had happened since then... One of the things that had happened, being that George had truly found himself in love. Not one of those middle school or high school crushes, nor one of those quick, short-lasting relationships.

"No." George said quickly, once he had made a decision. He didn't want him second guessing himself so he said it quick and fast, to get it over with. And once he said it, he found himself in some sort of gratification? He couldn't quite explain it, but it felt good.

"Really?..." Clay said after a moment, processing what the other had said.

"Really." George assured.

Fortuitous // DNF

Fortuitous: happening by accident or chance rather than design. Prince Clay is troublesome but gets away with everything by abusing his privileges and royal title. They've tried everything to get him under control but he just doesn't seem to care. With the princess that Clay has been arranged to marry, on the way, the king is desperate to get his behavior under control. Perhaps a young sorcerer can help with keeping an eye on him? Maybe he'll hep with a little more than just the Prince's behavior?

Uploads: eventually, I promise.
