real life !

"papa!" a little girl was running to her grandpa as she and her parents arrive at his home.

"honeybunch!" the old man opens his arms wide as he welcomes his granddaughter into a hug.

"i missed you papa!"

"i missed you too honeybunch." he carressed her hair. he looked behind her and sees her parents, "come inside, i've prepared hot chocolate."

"thanks dad," the little girl's dad said to her grandpa.

the adults talked as the little girl tried to play with her grandparents' cat. keyword, 'tried'. the young girl was scared of animals so she was frightened to touch the feline, thinking it might bite her or scratch her.

she didn't notice her grandfather approaching her from behind. he crouches down next to her and placed one hand on her back, "it's alright, don't be scared, the cat's nice. try petting it," and so, she did. the cat purred and even snuggled closer to her palm.

"it's not biting me!" her high pitched voice echoed.

"mhm, i told you."

- 🌙

"try it, it's delicious!" her grandpa encouraged her as she stares disgustingly at the vegetable. she picked it up with a fork and willingly took a bite.

spitting it out with a pained expression, the little girl let out a gagging noise as the old man just laughs at her.

"you should try things that you hate, so that you'll know if you really hated them," he says.

-

"don't look straight at the dog's eyes!" her grandpa shouts from a couple feet away as the young girl defensively tries to reach out to the growling dog, as her grandpa commands. "try to pet it."

the scared little girl closed her eyes as she touches the pup's head, gently carressing it with her shaky hands, and finally, the big dog calmed down.

"you must remember that there's a reason for hostility." the elder reminds her granddaughter.

- 🌙

"my feet can't reach the pedals!" the girl cries as the bike moves down the small hill without her controlling it.

the old man just laughs fondly as he watches his granddaughter try to control the vehicle.

- 🌙

the two of them were looking at the view from above the hill. the little girl was catching her breath from biking, thanks to her grandpa who helped her biked.

"it's such a waste if you give up without even trying." the old man suddenly spoke. the little girl that's kneeling on the ground, looked up at her grandpa who was standing proudly with his hands on his hips and is looking at the neighborhood below them.

"but what if... you're really scared?" she innocently asks.

"then have someone help you." the old man answered.

- 🌙

dream and luna agreed on taking things slow. dream was still staying in california, sometimes sleeping at luna's house but most of the time, he comes back to the hotel to accompany his sister. good thing, his sister didn't mind that he kept leaving her since she also wanted to explore the city.

dream also told luna about his ex and about his trust issues. luna understood and listened to him attentively, drawing circles on the back of his palm when he gets too anxious.

the two both had trust issues and they're both willing to help and wait for each other.

"how about mcc? it's in a few days." luna asked dream as they're both cuddled up on the couch, chatting.

"can i use your set up?" he softly responds, brushing his hands through her hair.

"you can, but it's different from yours so you might now get used to it and it could affect your gameplay."

dream just hummed, "it's fine."

"you sure?"

he kissed the top of her head, "of course."

they both agreed on not doing too much lovey dovey stuff since they don't have a label yet but dream's touch-starved ass couldn't help it, especially when she looks so adorable with the oversized shirt she's wearing and her cute figure hugging him tightly.

luna also couldn't help but blush slightly at the gesture, and tried to hide it by looking away.

"can i use your pc to upload my video?" dream asks.

"yeah, of course. what video are you uploading?"

"manhunt."

"the last one?"

"mmm, sadly."

"let's watch it together once it premieres!" she happily suggests, looking at him with a smile.

dream would be lying if he said he doesn't want to kiss her right then and there cause holy fuck, she's so adorable. thank the lord for letting him meet this angel.

"sure, why not." if dream wasn't hugging her tightly enough, he hugged her tighter, not wanting to let go.

"you're choking me- i'm gonna die!" she struggles as she laughs while holding his arm that is wrapped around her neck as he nuzzles on the side of her face.

dream laughs and releases her, "can i please kiss you on the cheek?" he asks.

luna smiled, "okay." and he did.

"thank you." he squishes her cheeks and she glares at him. he smiled, "you look adorable."

"shwut uwp lwet go of me you fwucker." (shut up let go of me you fucker) she struggled to speak as he squishes her cheeks harder, scrunching his nose while doing so.

"no," his teeth showed as he smiles wider.

"i'll slap you."

"no you won-" before he could finish, she lightly slapped him in the cheek, making him stop squishing her.

"you!" he tackles her.

"THAT WAS JUST A LIGHT SLAP!"

"SHUT UP I'LL TICKLE YOU!"

"NO!" and he did. luna was struggling to breathe as she laughs uncontrollably.

- 🌙

the manhunt was premiering and the two watched it on the tv. dream already knew what was gonna happen but he wanted to see her reactions.

"dude not even 3 minutes into the run and you've already pulled off a trick- what?!" she commented while dream laughed.

"i mean what can i say," he clicked his tongue in an attractive way.

...

"you like chasing george so much don't you?"

"he's the easiest to chase since he panics and it causes him to mess up in pvp so..."

"actually... fair point."

...

luna laughs hard, clapping her hands. "SAPNAP'S SQUEALS!" dream wheezed as she pointed it out.

"I KNOW! I WAS DYING LAUGHING TOO!" and he was right, she could hear his laughs while killing sapnap in the video.

"i can't not laugh at that. i love it when he screams," luna said.

dream looked at her, "the fuck?"

...

luna kept watching when she noticed something, "you're surprisingly quiet after the hunters bragged about their advantage."

"finally, you noticed."

luna looked at him, "you..."

"yes, i took your advice."

luna just looked at him with her eyebrows shot up and eyes wide, blinking slowly. dream laughs at her, "didn't i say that i was gonna keep that in mind?" he added.

luna just chuckles and turned back to the tv, hiding her flustered face.

they filmed that video a week ago. meaning the two of them still weren't okay and not talking to each other. thinking about how dream actually remembered her words made her heart flutter.
