You're so good to me 

Thank you

Day 77

Hey Dream 

If it's ok with you could we do something different tonight 

Do what?

You know

When we fuck 

I was thinking of doing something different 

Perhaps I could use my mouth instead? 

Why?

It

Hurts a little 

From last night 

But it's much better already

I'll be better by tomorrow 

It's just today 

Please Dream 

Summon C the Fey for me when you're back.

What? For what?

Dream it's just today and I can still do it it's just a little different 

Can we not have C here please 

It's my house 

Please 

*

Forget C

I'll do it, okay? You don't have to get C

I really just don't want him here

I can do it

Dream I'm fine

I was just being careful 

But I'm really fine 

Please let's just do what we normally do

Day 79

Dream

The fuck 

Is that 

Man

In the living room 

With you?

His name is Hob Gadling

Seriously? Are we doing this now? Inviting strangers into our home? Without telling me?

What the fuck?

Notes:

So writing this was not okay for me at all.

If you liked it (i.e. if hopeless Corinthian pining is your thing?), I'd love it if you left a comment to let me know ❤️

Notes:

Upon reading what I wrote, I realise the Corinthian texts Dream when he's scared of raising something face-to-face with him. Shites. I wonder where that came from...

So this started off instinctive, something I never knew I had in me. I think it's woken something up. By the end, I was hoping this reads scary. That these little lines of text make readers feel real fear for the Corinthian and his plight. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think, and especially if you'd like more <3
