Muse playground: Dreams

The man in the red plaid suit was carrying a penguin and asking for directions to the local opera house. Will passed him, a curious frown on his face, but he didn't stop to tell him that the opera house had burned down three years ago. There was something Will had to do, something pressing, and he didn't have time to stop and help a tourist. His pace quickened slightly, and while he wanted to run, he couldn't seem to get his feet to move fast enough to propel himself forward. In fact, the more he tried to run, the more he slowed down until he was actually starting to go backwards. When he saw the man in the plaid suit again, he knew that he had to fix this or he'd never get to his appointment. Gritting his teeth, he waved to a passing camel and explained that his boyfriend was just on the other side of that hill. Being friendly, as some camels are wont to do when they come across men in jeopardy, the creature told Will to climb on. The wind was warm as it whipped against Will's face. They were going so fast, Will was afraid that he would miss what he was looking for. Just as they zipped past his intended target, Will shouted at the camel to stop, but it couldn't hear him and carried him away from the man he loved.

Will awoke with a start and reached out to make sure his lover was actually there. Feeling the warm body made him both sigh with relief and laugh at the fact that he'd insisted on eating that last stuffed pepper at dinner. They always made him have the strangest dreams. Snuggling up behind the slim form, Will wrapped an arm around the other man's waist and pressed his body against him. As he closed his eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep again, he hoped his boyfriend would actually star in his next dream.
