#have I talked about my silly little spent-six-centuries-pining idiots here? idk

no bc dream never taking off his clothes after getting out of burgess's basement because he just spent over a century naked and humiliated in a fishbowl, and he's not willing to let anyone get to see him in that vulnerable of a state again. but.

the first time he stays over at hob's place, he takes his coat off. the second time, he lets hob actually touch his waist. the third time, when his shirt rides up a little, his first instinct isn't to shove it back down. and every time, he gives hob a little more of himself on his own terms, and hob notices, so when dream wakes up shirtless and pads over to him for coffee, he knows exactly how big of a deal it is. it's been months and months but dream's just existing without feeling the need to hide away parts of himself because it's hob, the one human he's trusted and liked and even loved for six hundred years. he's safe.
