Chapter Text
Everything seemed to spin around him, things looked more like swirling, colorful patches of light. His heart was racing, thumping in his ears. Everything was too loud, the boy couldn't comprehend anything. He was so disoriented that he couldn't distinguish where the sky was and where the ground was; it was as if the very fabric of reality had been torn.
After some confusing and long minutes, things began to make a bit of sense, but the place around him had changed. He blinked, and the world shifted before him. Colors danced and swirled, as if the boundaries of reality were fluid. How was that even possible?
Noah tried to make sense of his surroundings, but it lacked any explanation. The colors were vivid, more vibrant than anything he had ever witnessed in his life. Trees with bark and leaves like liquid silver stood tall, their branches forming intricate patterns against a sky filled with unknown colors. It was a completely unfamiliar environment for the redhead, and he doubted if it was real at all. Had someone drugged him?
After taking a look around, his first sensation was dizziness, a vertigo that seemed to threaten to let him fall at any moment. The ground beneath his feet felt unstable, like grains of sand under him. It was as if gravity itself had lost its grip, and he teetered on the edge of some deep chasm.
The air was laden with scents he couldn't place, a mixture of fragrances that seemed both familiar and strange. It was as if every breath held the secrets of a thousand mysteries, and Noah struggled to keep his senses from overwhelming him.
Noah's gaze fell upon his hands, which looked real but so blurry. He flexed his fingers, watching as they moved through the air like waves of smoke. It was as if he were made of the very essence of dreams, a being from an elusive existence.
Fear and confusion wrestled in Noah's heart as he tried to make sense of this dream-like world that had become his reality. How did all of this happen?

Ever since Noah was a child, he had always believed that dreams were simply a gentle slip away from consciousness, a place where the limits of reality disappeared. As he grew older, dreams became less and less frequent. Despite this, in recent weeks, they had increased significantly, and for some reason, it was always the same dream.
Noah didn't remember much about it, but piercing blue eyes always remained in his memory upon waking up, as if carved into his brain. He recognized those eyes very well, impossible to forget them. They belonged to his best friend, Alan: a shinny figure in Noah's life. Alan was like a sunbeam effortlessly projecting his light onto everyone around him. His golden hair seemed to catch fire under the sunlight, perfectly matching his contagious smile. Alan exuded a natural charm, effortlessly drawing people towards him.
Both boys had known each other since they were children and had always lived close by. Everyone who knew them would joke about how they seemed like a couple at this point. The truth was, despite just being friends, Noah had developed feelings for Alan, and over the years, these feelings had grown. Obviously, Noah wasn't going to confess; that would be a guaranteed mistake. He was sure his crush had no interest in him. Noah wasn't going to risk ruining such a precious friendship. Noah often found himself lost in a silent contemplation, struggling with his feelings for Alan. It was a silent longing, a desire that simmered beneath the surface, tucked away in the quiet corners of his heart. He had mastered the art of hiding it, burying his emotions deep within, letting only stolen glances betray his true affection.
He cherished the time they spent together, the laughter that echoed through their adventures, and the shared secrets that created an unbreakable bond.
In these dreams, Noah would stand on the precipice of an enigmatic world. A world that both terrified and fascinated him. It felt like a realm of secrets, where shadows whispered ancient tales and enigmas lurked at every corner. And there, amidst the surreal landscape, were those piercing blue eyes—the eyes of Alan, the light of his reality.
Noah's heart raced, not only from the dream but from the stark reality that Alan held an unexplainable place within them. The dreams had intensified, their grip on him growing stronger with each passing night. He yearned to decipher their meaning, to understand why they had become a recurrent visitor to his slumber. As he pondered these dreams, Noah found himself standing at a crossroads of his emotions. The line between friendship and something more blurred, and he was uncertain how to navigate it.
Yet, the dreams persisted, urging him to unravel the mysteries they held. It was as though the universe was nudging him towards a revelation. The dreams whispered of a prophecy, of a bond between worlds, a bond that needed to be broken for peace to prevail. Noah felt like an observer in this grand tale, unable to intervine in anything at al. What was he supposed to do?
Usually he would just shake the thoughts and try to ignore them as best as he could, but tonight was different, somehow he couldn’t explain why something felt really off
He felt like he could pass out any moment despite not having done much to make him feel tired. Whatever, it was probably his paranoia giving him trouble.
