Chapter Text
"So," Sapnap started, before jumping over the back of the couch and sitting next to Dream, "Karl should be here soon!"
"That's exciting." Dream said, eyes glued on his phone screen. He was monotoned.
"Someone's grumpy." Sapnap poked Dreams cheek and Dream side glanced him, getting Sapnap to smirk. "You better stay away from Karl with those pointy teeth of yours."
"He'll be covered in your wet dog scent, you have nothing to worry about, Mutt." Dream smirked, his abnormally long teeth showing.
"It's so weird how your human teeth got longer." Sapnap said, ignoring the wet dog statement. "But seriously, how are you gonna stay away from George? Karl will be no big deal because you aren't interested in his blood."
"Did someone say my name?" Karl skipped into the kitchen, his face holding a grin. "Hope you don't mind that I teleported here, it was easier than taking a plane."
"Did you miss your plane because you were painting your nails?" Sapnap asked with a smile and Karl glared before laughing.
"Yeah I did, but look!" Karl wiggled his fingers in front of the boys, they were purple and Orange.
"Our colors, I love it!" Sapnap grabbed one of the hands and kissed it.
"Oh, Dream, he does make a point about George, I mean it's clear you haven't fed yet, your eyes are black." Karl pointed out, "how long have you been holding out?"
Dream only sighed and turned back to his phone.
"Its been weeks, and he's been having to go see him mom a lot which requires sun exposure and with him being as strong as he is it only drains him... I'm tempted to go to the store and buy him some raw meat and let him drink the blood."
"Why not go out tonight and find someone to take a bit from and make them forget, you have that ability after killing Esmerelda right?"
"I do." Dream said softly.
"Then why won't you go out and fix yourself before your boyfriend comes here tomorrow?"
"Karl, he doesn't want to feed because there's a chance it'll 'super charge' him. Your blood kills normal vamps, but it'll only give him a stomach ache. My blood is very unappealing to him, does nothing, and he can't taste it anymore from how many donations I gave. And George is a human, better yet one who he's attracted to, this makes his blood sweeter to Dream."
"He doesn't want to hurt us, cute." Karl said and walked over to Dream pricking his finger with one of the sharp things on his bracelet.
Dream shifted uncomfortably, "Karl.."
"Go out tonight or I'll make you to feed from me." Karl smiled.
Dream swallowed hard and nodded, his lip bleeding from how hard he was biting it, "I'm gonna uh.. call George before his plane." Dream walked to his room, laying on his bed, hanging off the edge so he was upside down, calling George.
"Hey, I'm packing my last bit of stuff right now."
"Karl just got here, Sapnap is excited I could he- see it on his face." Dream bit his lip, he could still hear Sapnap's heart beating faster than usual, living with someone for so long you don't notice the sound of their heart beat after a while till it changes so drastically, so fast.
"I can't wait to see you, oh do you have any plans tonight, I wanted to call till I have to go at like 4am, thats like 23 O'Clock for you right?"
"Oh actually Karl is making me and Sap show him around, so I'll call with you and take a break for a half an hour if that works, Sap can do most of the work."
"Oh! You don't have to! Go have fun."
Dream let out a breath, "Baby, I'll stay on call, we're leaving soon so I'll call back in a half an hour?"
"Be safe, Dream." George's smile could be heard.
Dream ended the call and got off his bed, throwing on a black hoodie and leaving his room, "I have a stream soon, and have to call George in a half an hour, if he asks, we're giving Karl a tour."
"Be safe and don't lose control I really don't want to have to pick you up again." Sapnap frowned a bit.
"I'll go with him, you have a stream anyway Babe." Karl smiled and kissed Sapnap's cheek, "I'll keep him under control."
Dream walked over and scooped Karl up, bridal style, forcing Karl to hold around his neck.
Sapnap let out something close to the growl and Dream winked, suddenly out of the house, leaving a little gust of wind behind.
Dream set Karl down outside the bar and adjusted his own hair, letting Karl adjust his.
"Honk you must be hungry, you got us 20 miles 40 seconds." Karl links arms with Dream, leaning his head on his arm, allowing Dream to lead them into the bar.
"Who are you looking for tonight? Something pretty, something plump, something fruity?" Karl nudged Dream and Dream rolled his eyes, scanning the area before leading Karl to a small table.
"The waitress that's coming over here." Dream said and Karl smiled cheerfully.
"Howdy Folks, can I get ya'lls anything to drink?" The waiter smiled.
"Club Soda for me!" Karl smiled.
"Vodka straight and a phone number for me." Dream smirked a bit and the waitress blushed.
"Comin' right up cuties!"
"So George comes in the morning.." Karl poked Dream on the nose who bared his teeth to Karl with a hiss, all Karl did was giggle, before Dream leaned away when the Waitress came back.
Dream downed his drink and took the waitress by the hand, leading her outside and pinning her to the wall.
She leaned in but he put his hand to her mouth, pushing her head against the wall and attached his mouth to her neck, sinking his canines in.
After a few moments he looked at her with his emerald eyes, and mumbled something about her forgetting, before Karl walked out and healed her wound, letting her go back inside like it was nothing.
'We're all good, Sap' Dream thought.
'Have a safe ride back, and don't kill my husband.' Sapnap's voice filled Dream's and Karl's heads.
'If you don't go back to your stream, you'll be single.' Karl replied and let himself be picked back up by Dream who sped-ran them home.
"Thanks for the lift, vampy." Karl jumped back onto his feet, walking into his and Sapnap's room, leaving Dream alone to hang upside down off the edge of the couch and sigh.
Dream ran his hands over his face a few times before pulling out his phone.

"Dream, if you don't calm down, you'll hurt somebody." Sapnap said, grabbing Dream's arm to keep him from pacing, "your eyes are already getting darker."
"I'm anxious, don't blame me." Dream snapped and Karl pinched the bridge of his nose before smiling and tapping Dream on the nose, making his eyes shine emerald again.
"What the hell? What did you do to me?" Dream stumbled a bit before his eyes landed on Sapnaps hand and glared pulling his arm away.
"I swear if you complain about smelling like a wet do- oh my god.." Sapnap's gaze shifted to something behind Dream, making Dream 180 and gasp, running to the brunette holding a luggage, clashing into a hug.
Dream spun them around, littering George's face with soft kisses.
"You're really here!"
"I'm really here!" George smiled and got them to stop spinning.
Dream cupped George's face and pressed their lips together, the world around them slowing to a stop, it was like the movies only Dream actually had super speed and was so excited it caused him to speed up everything at such a rate the world slowed to everyone but him.
Dream had only gotten that excited one other time.
Dream pulled away from the kiss and the world was normal again, making him smile. "Let's get you home." Dream offered and took the luggage from George letting him meet with Karl and Sapnap before heading to the car and to the house.
"I have a stream, so you guys catch up!" Sapnap smiled and dragged Karl upstairs leaving Dream and George in the living room.
George and Dream looked at each other before breaking out into laughter.
"We can watch some tv?" Dream suggested and George nodded taking Dream's hand accepting the pull to the couch, laying down and resting his head on Dream's lap. "What do you have in mind?"
"The Flash is always good, only from seasons 1-3 though."
"The Flash it is, baby." Dream smiled and turned it on from Episode One, Season One.
They got through a few episodes of silence, just soaking up each other's company.
"So, when do we get to have to the ex talk." George asked and Dream looked down and chuckled.
"You go first then." Dream said, playing with George's hair.
"He was jet black haired, French and pretty tall."
"Taller than me?"
"Wilbur tall." George smirked and Dream rolled his eyes.
"Was he a croissant kinda man? Because me personally, I'm more a twink..ie kinda man." Dream winked down to George who hit his arm.
"He wasn't as kind, or handsome or as smart as you, he was actually an airhead..." George frowned a bit, "and you listen to my dumb rants about tech stuff."
"I'll always listen to you, George, you're smart and you're amazing and you're beautiful and your heart is so big even if you don't want people to know that."
"I knew I loved you for a reason," George grabbed Dream's other hand and kissed it, "you're such a flirt."
Dream smiled fondly to George, "only for you baby."
"How about you, Love?"
"I only loved one other man," Dream started, "he reminded me a lot of you."
George looked up to Dream and raised a brow, Dream's hand stayed playing with George's hair. "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
"It's a good thing, Sapnap even met him, back when he went by Pandas."
"Oh so he was a while ago, I have nothing to worry about." George laid his head back onto Dream's lap.
"You never did."
"Oh?"
"He's dead, George."
George sat up, "oh my god, I'm so sorry!"
Dream took George's face in his hands and put their foreheads together, "it's okay, love, it happened forever ago."
...
"Everyone, please welcome Prince Clay, of the Dream family, and his associates, Karl Kingston and Nick Kingston."
Dream walked in first, he was in a dark green suit, fitted to him perfectly and walked with pride, a crown resting gentle on his head, behind him was Karl in deep velvet and Sapnap in a white suit with an orange tie. Sapnap and Karl had their arms linked and held giant smiles, contrasting Dream's straight face.
A small Prince walked over, arms behind his back to mirror Dream's stance, a crown also resting on his brunette locks.
"Thank you for coming so quickly, I wouldn't have asked you to come if my Father didn't have an alliance with yours." The prince said and Dream only nodded, "we can talk alone."
"Where I go, they go."
The prince scoffed and led the three into a large private room, guards outside the room.
"So, you know about the killings here, what do you think is going on, Clay, because I would like you gone as soon as possible."
"Sweetheart, we aren't friends, Call me Dream."
The prince rolled his eyes, "fine, then I'm Charles to you."
Dream smirked, "sure thing, Charlie."
...
"Dream! We have a problem!" Sapnap yelled and ran down the stairs, Karl running behind him, throwing a hoodie on.
Dream and George turned to them, "what's going on?" George asked.
Sapnap turned to Dream, 'there has been a report of many people mysteriously dying to strange animals.'
Dream jumped up, "it's work stuff." Karl said and let Dream get shoes on.
"Sapnap will stay here, I'll go with Dream." Karl walked over to Dream and opened the door, "sorry to cut your meetup short."
"Wait is this that weird secret job thing you always never talk about?" George asked.
"Yes," Karl said, "Clay, we have to go."
"Bye George." Dream blew a kiss and got dragged out by Karl, once the door shut Dream picked him up and sped-ran to a few towns over and into a hotel room.
"I'll talk to the Captain in the morning, we go way back." Dream said and laid on the couch, "also, I'm hungry."
Karl snapped himself some Chinese and looked at Dream for a moment before snapping him a blood bag, "AB Pos is still your favorite right?"
Dream swiftly drank from the bag, nodding happily.
"So any clue on which blood sucker is doing this? The council is gone,"
"Thanks to me." Dream chirped and Karl rolled his eyes.
"Yes yes, points to the million year old blood sucker, anyway, back to what I was saying, who is it?"
"Well, Im going to be honest, I can't feel anything, I can always go take a run but you'll owe me another snack." Dream popped up, "start your witch-y voodoo shit while I'm gone also."
"Sure thing," Karl's eyes let off a soft purple glow, "your highness"
Dream nodded and sped from the room.
...
"You're so annoying, stop calling me that, wanker." Charles pushed Dream softly and Dream grabbed his hands before pushing him to the wall and pinning his wrists to the wall, the crown on his head tilting. "This isn't professional, your highness."
Dream chuckled, "but for some reason, you like it Charlie, is this why you're so old and not married? Because you don't want a Queen?"
Charles blushed, "and you? Why aren't you married yet?"
"I saw you at a hall two years ago and only wanted you." Dream smirked and kissed Charles on the cheek before walking away completely.
...
"I got nothing, I did find someone's missing cat though- oh okay." Dream shut the door behind him seeing Karl sitting on the floor surrounded by candles and a purple glow that emitted from his body.
"I put your bag in the fridge, eat and get sleep, this'll take a while, Nick is stressed."
"And that doesn't concern you?" Dream grabbed the bag.
"He's a big boy, he can fend for himself."
"Nick, George is there now."
"Honk." Karl mumbled and the candles went out with the glow. "We don't have time to wait till the morning, we need to go see Captain Darren." Karl lifted his arms and Dream picked him up, running out of the hotel.
Dream set Karl down and let Karl knock on the door.
"Hello- Oh hey I thought we were waiting till morning?" Darren asked, pulling a shirt on.
Karl pointed to the sky to show the moon and Darren nodded, "Come on in, we can make this fast, I doubt it's easy to be away from your soulmate, but then again, you're lucky to only have one." Darren looked Dream up and down before walking in and allowing Karl and Dream to follow him.
They all sat at a table covered in papers.
"How have you been, Cap?" Karl asked while Dream searched through the papers.
"I've been great, except for my people dying to blood suckers." Darren chuckled along with Karl. "How have you guys been?"
"We've been.. uh we've been making out alright, George, Dream's boyfriend, just moved in."
"Oooo what is he?" Darren asked.
"Human." Karl announced and Darren winced. "Yeah, an immortal destined once again with a human."
"Yeah and now he's stronger and the council is dead so that can't be easy with the whole blood thing..."
"I found them." Dream announced, his eyes going dark.
"You did? Where?" Karl asked but Dream was already gone. "Honk I hate when he does that."
"He should be fine, they're probably newborns and Dream can handle them."
"I hope he does it soon, if Nick turns while I'm not there.. George will be in danger."
'Guys, guys someone is here and I can't do anything without George seeing too much.'
Karl raised a brow at Sapnap's voice in his head, 'Dream has his link off, who is it? Is everyone okay?'
'Charlie is here.'
