George sat on a tree begging his two best friends to come up with him to enjoy the beauty of the world that seemed to set still. Sapnap raced dream up the tree, laughing on his way passing through the thick wheat field to get the the tree. Dream slowly catching up the the younger boy, grabbing onto one of the trees branches, hoisting himself into it. He sat there for a moment catching his breath, slowly standing onto the branch to climb onto the others going to the eldest of the two. Sapnap was right beside them a moment later, his chest heaving. Sapnap looked around in the tree seeming to take slight bore in the surroundings of the tree but George, he admired it. Dream could see how George touched the bark of the tree as if he never touched bark before. Maybe it was the fact the two just graduated and they ran off after the ceremony, but George seemed to be a little kid all over again experiencing life all over again. Despite living 19 years in this life.
Dream admired George, it's like this was George's first life, how he was always outgoing, how feelings never seemed to bore his fingertips, how every flavor he's tasted never tainted his tongue. How nature seems to always surprise him with it's true beauty. That's why their now anyways, they could have gone home with their families, but no the two younger boys got dragged off by George the a random field in their town, just to admire the sunset, the field, life.
Dream lived many lives, remember each one, slowly forgetting some of his past lives. All those lives he's never met someone like George, as if he never had a past life, as if this is his first life. Sapnap seemed tainted of, dream could tell he's had many lives. All those lives, George gave him a spark, made him see the beauty in everything like he once did, many, many lives ago. He's thankful he's found George, though he wishes he hadn't. He knows his next life it will be the same again, tainted, no one to show him the beauty of everything, like George does.
George plucked leaves off the tree, fumbling with it, and sapnap decided to climb the tree higher, shouting when he got the the highest he could. Dream took a breath of air in and looked down at the roots of the tree beneath them, the tall wheat grass twined with some of the roots. He smiled, letting the air out. George was a gorgeous person to dream, a memorable person, one he wouldn't ever forget in any lifetime there is to come.
Sapnap got out the tree, followed by the two others, George grinned, pulling out a pocket knife, marking his initials on it, handing it to sapnap. He grinned following George's actions, then dream followed drawing a small smiley face.
George started to run to dreams truck after receiving his knife back, telling the two he's paying for dinner as a treat for being 'free' from school. As much as it's true it's also not true, college, then the responsibility of life. Though George could care less on the future, he's all about the present. Oh how free he was, he's going to live life beautifully
