Dream had made his way to a comfortable 24/7 bar not too far from his residence, he sighed sitting in a bar stool, the waiter asked for his drink, before long coming over with it.

The bar was rather quite, music gently playing from a radio, he heavy drinkers had gone home by now, it was almost empty, besides the one other male sat two seats away.

He was tall, lanky, yet shorter than dream. Curly hair, wearing a dark suit.

Dream was intrigued, he decided to speak to him.

"Hey" Dream smiled.
The other male looking up, tired, sad eyes.
"Hi" he almost coughed, his voice raspy.
"Are you alright?"
"Could be better" The male chuckled taking a sip of a can of monster, beginning to make dream wonder why he was sat in a bar
"I'm clay"
"Karl"
"It's nice to meet you Karl"
"You too Clay"

There was an awkward silence between the two young boys.

"Why so dressed up?" Dream chuckled, lightheartedly
"Just had to say goodbye i suppose"
"I'm sorry to hear that" Dream frowned realising that the male was also upset.
"It's okay, it was closure i suppose" he shrugged

"You look familiar Karl"
"You sound familiar clay"
"Youtube?" Dream questioned
Karl nodded, a smile growing on his lips "Mr beast"
"Oh, i'm dream"
"The man behind the mask" Karl smirked
"Indeed it is, in the flesh"

"You're friends with Alex right and Nick?"
Dream nodded with a fond smile,
"Oh, i'm surprised we haven't ever crossed paths then" Karl giggled taking another sip of his monster reminding dream to take a sip of his own drink.
"Peculiar how the world works"
"It really is"
"We should collab sometime" Dream smiled
"Not anytime soon, kind of inactive at the moment"
"Oh, alright, well whenever you feel up to it, just shoot me a dm"

The two sat there speaking for some time before Dream decided it was time to go home.

he arrived through his door at 0700
instantly falling asleep on his bed, not bothering to get changed.
