Chapter Text
“sapnap c’mon!” the dirty blond wolf groaned, dragging his brother by the arm.
“nonono, hold up “ the ravenet paused them, closing his eyes as he sniffed the air. “do you smell that?” he asked, clearly dazed by the scent.
“no?” dream tilted his head in confusion, sniffing as well.
“a pack,” he mumbled, dragging dream toward it.
“sapnap, sapnap! you could get us killed, idiot!” the blond protested, stumbling behind the shorter.
“wouldn’t hurt to try!”
“but it would!”
sapnap didn’t care, wanting nothing more than a family, outside dream of course. and soon dream gave up, rolling his eyes as he more willingly followed his brother into the unknown of the forest.
and soon they traveled far enough and saw light, a clearing. the ravenet paused as they slowly approached the clearing, unknowing if they were about to be attacked or not.
so the pair shifted into their wolves, slowly wandering in, one behind the other with sapnap in lead. and soon they were noticed.
“stop!” someone shouted at them. “who goes there!”
they couldn’t really reply to the person, voice appearing masculine. and sapnap didn’t know how to show he wasn’t a threat, besides lying down and whimpering, dream following suite.
the person approached them slowly, holding their hands out to show they weren’t armed, before shifting into their wolf. they approached the pair, sniffing at sapnap’s nose before yipping and licking excitedly at his snout.
sapnap sat up and circled the other wolf, yipping himself, tackling them and nuzzling against them as dream watched with a warm heart. sapnap finally found something like family, his mate.
they both shifted back, hugging each other tightly as they introduced themselves.
“i’m karl!”
“i’m sapnap, and god you’re gorgeous.”
the brunet giggled, nuzzling into sapnap’s chest despite being taller. “i can’t believe i finally found you.”
“i can’t either,” sapnap said, completely in awe. “oh! and,” he looked to his brother. “that’s dream! my brother.”
“oh cool,” karl smiled, standing up and shaking the blond’s hand. “‘m karl.”
“nice to meet you,” dream smiled before leaning into his ear. “take care of him, alright? i love him to death.”
“don’t worry, i will,” karl whispered back, hugging the blond tightly before returning to sapnap. “you can look around if you want, dream, tell them i welcomed you here.” and with that they disappeared, probably getting to know each other more.
dream began to wander around, hardly being questioned about his presence.
“who are you?” someone asked defensively.
“‘m dream, karl invited me and my brother through,” the blond replied, taking in the other’s appearance. and god was he beautiful; a short tiny build, fluffy brown hair, a large sweater that practically swallowed him, and gorgeous brown eyes.
and dream smelt something, something sweet and savory. cinnamon. he closed his eyes, sniffing the air, eyes snapping open as the scent led to the beautiful man in front of him.
“do you smell that?” the blond asked, stepping closer.
“,,yeah?”
dream stepped even closer, frowning as the omega trembled. “shh, it’s okay,” he reassured, nuzzling into his neck as he released his calming vanilla scent. the brunet began to calm down, even shifting closer to dream.
the blond wrapped his arms around the shorter’s waist, holding him close. the brunet froze, before hesitantly wrapping his arms around his neck, softly scratching at the nape of his neck.
after a few moments dream pulled back, a soft smile and blush on his face. “what’s your name?”
the brunet avoided his eyes, “george.”
“hey,” dream began softly, holding george’s chin and making him look at him. “don’t be afraid, i’m not gonna do anything you don’t want me to, okay?”
the brunet nodded, blushing when dream kissed his forehead so softly that it made his knees weak. he was being so delicate and gentle, george couldn’t believe his own luck.
when dream pulled back from the soft kiss, he gently held one of his mate’s hands, continuing to take his presence in.
george began to heavily blush at the staring, looking away, which made dream’s wolf whimper.
“sorry,” dream mumbled, looking away himself. “it’s just-“ he sighed. “you’re so cute, george. i can already tell that i am so incredibly lucky to have you like this, you’re so beautiful.”
the brunet’s heart melted, completely unused to this affection and praise, smiling at the blond’s apparent nervousness.
“wanna head to my cabin for a little while,” the brit found himself asking, squeezing dream’s hand. “to learn more about each other?”
“yeah,” dream smiled, “i’d like that.”
and so george whisked him away, a little deeper into the forest but still on their pack’s property. they approached a small cabin, george opening the door and leading him inside. it was tiny and only had one floor, but george never minded, he loved having this tiny space all to himself. and, hopefully, dream will reside here too.
they sat down on the brunet’s bed, soft lighted fairy lights decorating his bed frame. it was very homey, and dream already loved the atmosphere. they were sitting down next to each other, dream already wrapping an arm around him, feeling the need to constantly have a hand on his mate. but george didn’t mind the possessiveness at all, he found it more adorable if anything.
“so what do you want to know?” the brunet asked, nuzzling into dream’s neck.
“anything, i wanna know whatever you’ll let me,” he replied gently, not wanting to wreck the peace, break their little bubble.
“well,” the brit began. “i was originally from the uk, as you can maybe tell.” god he had a cute laugh. “i just turned twenty this november-“
“what day?” dream asked curiously.
“the first.” a nod. “i moved here because of karl actually, we’ve known each other for a long long time and he finally convinced me. and, this sounds dumb, but i had this feeling that i had to be here, and now i know why.”
dream squeezed his mate close, his wolf letting out happy little purr-like noises.
“my favorite color’s blue,” george continued, letting out soft purrs himself. “because i’m colorblind and its one of the only colors i can actually see.”
“what can’t you see?”
“anything that isn’t yellow or blue,” he replied, finding himself messing with dream’s fingers and rings.
“you have piss vision, huh?” dream joked, letting out a wheeze when the brit shoved him gently.
“shut up ,” he whined.
after they calmed down george asked to learn more about dream, resting his head on the taller’s shoulder comfortably.
“i’m nineteen, my birthday’s august 12th. me and my brother never had a pack, as we hardly had anyone to call parents, so we were pretty much always on our own. i’ve lived around here my whole life, but could never settle down without needing to leave for whatever reason.” he felt george nod against his neck, squeezing his hand as he held it in both of his smaller ones. “and my favorite color’s green.”
the brit hummed, feeling sleepy, the vanilla scent having a good hold on him.
“you can sleep, hun,” the blond said softly, kissing his head a few times. he lied them both down on the soft bed, finding himself pulled to george’s chest, and he’d never felt more safe.
“goodnight george,” dream mumbled sleepily, nuzzling into his hold.
“‘night dr’m.”
