Chapter Text
Trembling, sweaty hands tightly gripped the handle of the brown dust-covered suitcase as the teary-eyed child made his way through the towering doors into the only orphanage within walking distance from his mother's old house. Emerald green eyes scanned over his new home as the flakes of brown glistened in the light of the sun-rays that shone through the towering windows. The place was exactly what Dream had expected it to look like - dusty, run down and nothing like his mothers old house. He missed it already.
Previously shed tears were wiped away and Dream was led to a bedroom, although it felt more like a cell to him. The room was boring, almost perfectly symmetrical, with one bed pushed against the left wall and a small table next to it. The right side was practically a mirrored image of it. However, there was one difference.
A fair skinned boy, his black hair failing to stay out of his eyes, stood on the right with a grin on his face as Dream walked into the room. The blue eyes of the boy shone with anticipation and slithers of hope of a new friendship forming.
"I'm George."
Simple words left the boy's lips, George's lips, but it was enough to make Dream return the smile that George displayed.
"I'm Clay but you can call me instead Dream because it's a dream to meet me."
A mutual giggle filled the room and George smiled once again as he hugged his new friend, "Well Dream, I hope we stay friends forever and ever."
"Forever and ever," Dream repeated with a smile dancing at the corners of his lips, "I like that."
