dream pushed fundy away and felt as if his anchor was just ungrounded. over the past few months, fundy had been his escape from the war, his own little secret that he didn't even want to share with his friends. but after recent events and the reality of their battle soon to bound, he had to make a choice. and that choice was to make sure fundy was safe. it was obvious that he'd be safer within l'manburg, he'd known that for weeks now, but the moment he demanded for their white flags, he knew that fundy would try to talk him out of it. and he wasn't going to change his mind.

"dream, really? now of all times, you decide to push me away?" fundy follows dream despite his partners eager attitude to leave.

dream held his arm out to distance the space between him and fundy, god knows if the other took another step, he'd get so caught up in his eyes and wouldn't be able to look away. "fundy, please, just go home for me. go back to your family," he pleaded with his enemy, because fundy was never meant to be a lover. "they need you. your family needs you—"

"but you're my family," fundy interrupted, both their hearts having had audibly broken. knowing they couldn't be together just for their placements in this unforgiving war.
