3rd pov
White didn’t know when they fell asleep for all they know White could be at the medbay in the skeld or maybe be in their own soft silk covered bed or even with their own par- Who's White kidding, they were somewhere in the skeld even if it wasn’t the medbay. The dream starts as beautifully as White's normal dreams do. White floating in a bed of water surrounded by flowers that White couldn’t name on top of their brain, stars shining brightly above them- counting all of them could take nearly forever! The thing that bugged them was the moon or the lack of the moon in the night time scenery as if white knew that there was a moon in the sky before. White could nearly feel the breeze blowing on them and the sweet smell of water or flowers drifting passing by.
White shivered as if they could feel the cold emitting from the water and faint breeze that turned colder. White reached out to the flowers as if they could help but the flowers seemed to wilt under White’s hand. White couldn’t say anything as if someone blocked their voice from coming out or cry as the flowers all around the water died. White felt the urge to look up well up as the breeze turned harsh turning from a calm breeze to a howling beast that sashes at White. Looking up was no more comforting than the wind as the stars closed and reopened to ugly miss-shaped visors staring down at them, White knew the visors were judging White but White could only stare back as the cruel bed of water beneath White started to drag them down.
The water burned the upper half of White akin to the sun on their skin when outside to long without sunscreen. The air in White’s lungs slowly drained as White clawed their own body to stop the burning- White started to wish that there were someone, anyone to save them like their butlers or maybe guards? White didn’t know who to call out for, they had rarely had nightmares before especially when they were so far from home. When White nearly stops fighting the water and lack of air the water releases them causing them to suddenly sit up grasping for breath and patting their own head. Glancing the room for a second, they seemed to be in their ands Greens bedroom (they had to share the room with one other which had White bit baffled even more baffling was the fact for the whole time on this trip that there was no mess on Greens side) with Green holding up the blanket that seemed to have trapped White.
“You okay White? I heard you struggin’ and thought to help,” Green spoke, their head tilting ever so slightly, White found themselves sighing and curling up mumbling that they were just fine. If it were up to White, they would just pay Green to ignore what happened- “ Yeah no I see that you aren't that happiest-” Green interrupts White's inner monologue as they sit beside White’s bed before continuing their sentence “BUT! I won’t pry! Just tell me if you want to talk!” Green looks up at White. Normally White would be all for talking but their insides feel like they're burning plus they just started to calm down from the nightmare- also the nightmare they had made them queasy so they nodded.
After a bit White started to rub their eyes from the tiredness that plagued them as Green yawned holding the really soft blanket (Green wondered if White had powers to make everything soft or if White hated certain items on their skin, Green thought to ask when White was more talkative). White stares down, their head tilting at the sight of Green as to signal that what Green is doing was weird- Green blushed while handing it back mumbling that ‘it was soft and sorry abou’ that I should have asked’ as White took the blanket back clearing their throat. White was mad per se more confused that Green thought this was the softest blanket but to White it was the cheapest blanket that didn’t make them un comfy! Green started to scoot away while looking like a kicked puppy when White grabbed Green's hand. For a minute White thought they turned Green to a light green of how much they were blushing (it was to be expected! White was a celebrity after all).
“Can, Can we g-o to the doc?” White managed to say through the pain in their body that started after the burning stopped, their legs were half way off the bed. Green shoots right up nodding wildly then grabbing White's other hand bringing the other up slowly to make sure that White doesn’t fall. “Whe-n.. We, get home-I get you one,” White slowly says then Green glances at them before White speaks again. Your own.. Blanket.” White finishes smiling, causing Green to smile back at them.
“Thank you! Lets get ya to the doc before you pass out, pearl!” Green squeaked out as they both almost tumbled on each other as they walked out the door. Both stayed quiet during the walk to the med bay, one because of the upper body felt it was torn off.. The other? Because Green finally found a nickname for their crush.
The end!
