Dream opens his eyes, looking up at the sky of the SMP. Around him, he feels cold. Dream looks around his body, seeing blood surrounding him. Dream lifts up his hand, casting it across his chest as he sits back up.

Dream bites his tongue to keep himself quiet, a sharp pain shooting through his entire body. He looks down at his chest, seeing the worn out and torn up armor. Dream slowly and carefully peels it off his skin.

He's in the middle of a forest.

Not an animal in sight around him.

Dream grabs what he can to stand, but doubles over when he feels the skin on his chest move around.

"Need some help there, Dream?"

Dream's eyes fly open as he hears the voice from behind him, "Who said that."

Dream slowly tries to lift himself up, but bites back a yelp. His knees lock, and his nails dig into the bark of the tree. He feels an claw-like hand on his shoulder. "You know who I am."

Dream slowly looks over his shoulder and sees DreamXD. DreamXD has his mask covering his face pure usual.

Dream sighs and looks back down, "What do you want." His tone is harsh and cold, nothing sounding like a question.

DreamXD simply leans against a nearby tree and crosses his arms, "What do you mean, 'what do you want'? I just asked if you needed some help. You're bleeding everywhere."

Dream shakes his head, getting down on his knees slowly. The scar across his chest burns. "I'm fine."

Dream hears leaves beside him crunch. When he looks over, he sees a couple of potions. But when he looks back behind him, DreamXD was nowhere to be seen.

~~~~

DreamXD shakes his head as he takes flight around the SMP. He's angry at himself. He just healed Dream, a man he despises. And for what? Because he means the world to George.

And all he wants is for George to be happy. And if he can't do that, then Dream, as much as he hates the thought, will take that place.

Though DreamXD really doesn't want that to happen.

DreamXD flies down and lands on top of the prison walls. He looks up at the sky, closes his eyes, and waits a moment until he feels the world shift around him.

He's back in George's world.

Looking around, he sees George standing in place, looking down at the ground. He looks to be shaking. The mushroom top he was wearing is now on the ground, and the glasses are hiding his eyes.

Obviously worried, DreamXD walks forward towards George.

George shields his face by looking away, hearing steps in the grass. He knows who it is. It's not Dream.

George sniffs, locking up his throat. He feels the claw-hands on his shoulder, and a soft, worried, voice speak up.

George whimpers, then slaps a hand over his mouth. George starts crying.

DreamXD's eyes widen and he quickly thinks of a solution. None come to mind. Not until George's body falls limp in his arms.

DreamXD holds George close to his chest, frequently looking down at George. Sure enough, he's crying.

DreamXD blinks a few times, his heart melting in sadness. Rubbing the top of George's head he hears a broken whisper, "Don't leave me. Please. I can't take it. It feels like my heart's being ripped out of my body whenever he leaves. Don't leave me."

His heart absolutely shatters. DreamXD's grip gets tighter, holding George tighter.

"I won't leave you, George. I'm not cruel. I'm not a cruel being. I'm not Dream. The things he's done-" DreamXD goes silent whenever he hears a sharp sob from George.

Its no doubt. George knows exactly what Dream has done, but can't bring himself to confront him about it.

DreamXD frowns, lightly scratching and rubbing George's hair. He's afraid of hurting George.

The two of them stand there in silence until George calms down enough to back away from the hug.

George rubs his eyes and sighs, "Sorry. I just- I miss him a ton. I just wished that he didn't leave so quick."

DreamXD sighs, "I know, I know. He's hurt right now. I gave him some potions to heal him. Though he's either going to be killed or put right back in the prison."

George grabs DreamXD quickly, looking up at him and saying quickly, "Make sure he's put back in the prison and not killed. Please. I can't- I want to see him when I wake up. Don't kill him. I know he probably deserves it, but I wouldn't be able to see him when I wake up. We made a promise and- and- and we've planned to do so many things-"

DreamXD, looking around George's face frantically, hating seeing George with a frown. Tears just completely pouring down his face. So, out of reflex, he panics and hugs George tightly.

"George, he's going to come back. He's going to be just fine. You'll be able to do what you want with him. Just please, please stop crying. Stop crying. It's killing me to see you this way. The truth may vary, but don't take my words lightly. He's coming back. You two will reunite. Just please, smile. For me at least. For him." DreamXD stuffs his head in George's shoulders, his claws digging into the cape George's wearing.

George is frozen. The almighty God of the server is practically begging for him to smile.

It's enough to make George dry his tears and place his hands on DreamXD's back.

George may be piss poor when it comes to showing affection, but DreamXD does just kinda lay it in the palm of his hands.

''''''''''''

DreamXD and George stand by a cliffside, looking up into the sky. DreamXD looks at George and asks, "Think I can still fly here?"

George scoffs, "Don't be an idiot. I'm sure you could."

DreamXD smiles, extending his wings and grabbing George by the hips as he flies off the edge. As cruel as it seems, he laughs at the curses and pure screaming coming from George.

George desperately grabs onto DreamXD, terrified. He even goes as far as to bury his head in DreamXD's shirt

DreamXD flies around, making an effort to make George know he's safe by wrapping his arms around George's upper back and waist.

George seems to get the memo and slowly looks up from DreamXD's shirt, though still holding his arms around his neck for dear life.

But it was fucking worth it.

Light blue oceans, small islands with plenty of life, birds flying around with them, butterflies, bees, and even flowerbeds that have mushrooms planted in the mix.

It was simply beautiful.

"Pretty, huh? Dream outdid himself." DreamXD laughs lightheartedly, accepting the fact that George is in love with Dream with little to no bitterness. It was obvious to him earlier; George begging and pleading him to keep Dream safe. Hell, George started crying when Dream left. DreamXD thoughts are quite valid.

George laughs, "He always does. I remember when he told me that he'd go to the ends of the Earth for me. I didn't take him seriously, but then he does this for me. It's like he wants me to run into his arms one of these days."

The smile DreamXD has goes bittersweet.

"Oh, I'm sure he does. I'm sure he does George."
