Jack led him from the beach back to the treehouse, his hands tracing the delicate structure of his body. His skin was so pale and so soft, like his sisters...not that Jack would tell him that.

He likely knew anyhow.

It was a bit of a walk, but once at the Treehouse, Jack took him up the stairs to his room. The shutters were open wide and the mild breeze blew the thin curtains as Jack closed the door behind him. Moments later he wrapped his arms around the man from behind and pressed his lips to his back.

"Let me adore you," he said softly.

Dream smiled a little and wiped away a remaining tear with his thumb. "You're welcome. I was concerned you might find it too intrusive."

Jack shook his head a little then turned and kissed him again. "I think that you can still shape the world," he purred. "No one has ever done anything like that...and I've had more lovers than most people can count."

Dream practically glowed at that.

"Then that," he said, "is precisely what I needed." And he kissed Jack again.

He sighed happily and leaned back into Dream's arms, closing his eyes. "Good. That's all I wanted."

"I can stay here for a while if you like," Dream said, "or I can go."

"I really don't know," he replied quietly. "The thing about dreams is you always wake up...and sometimes the god ones ache more than the nightmares."

"Yes," Dream agreed, "but you can't summon the good or bad ones at will, either. Whereas I live in the compound with my sister and you can come find me anytime."

That earned him a small huff of a laugh and Jack rubbed the arm that was around him. "Death. I know her bedroom," he nodded, his tone indicating more than just a general knowledge.

Dream lifted an eyebrow at that, and then sighed. "My sister. Sometimes I feel I hardly know her now. This sort of thing - " He gestured to their naked bodies. "Was commonplace for me. Not for her."

"Yeah, we talked. She had a hard time when she arrived. Too many things to adjust to that one day never prepared her for. I thought she was dumb when we first met, then I really listened to her in the sex education class and...she's just so new."

"And I suppose you don't get that impression from me?" Dream inquired, quirking a smile. "She is my older sister, after all."

"You've dealt with the living," Jack shrugged. "Death...didn't. And from what she said, she didn't really talk to the dead all that long. Most of the people here are good, but she..." he turned his head to look back and up at him, "...do you really want to know this?"
