Cc! Dream Said He Likes Red Roses And I Think About It Every Day - Tumblr Posts

c! dream drabble i wrote just thinking about his recovery cause i love him so

cw! mention of blood a lot, it's actually the main focus of the drabble, brief mention of self harm, some violence sprinkled here, some wound stuff sprinkled here.

crimson is the colour of his blood on his best friend's blade. it's the shade of vengeance, fear of a metamorphosis beyond one's understanding. it's a tone of finality because there is nothing to be said. it's too late for explanations.

crimson is the shade of earnest eyes through rimmed spectacles tapped down the middle from domestic mishaps. it's the shade of trust, the scent of fresh stew on an open fire, warmth that doesn't burn and simmer his skin but settles the chiding chill in his bones. it's the tone of new beginnings, something dream feels he doesn't deserve but techno insists he does.

techno says crimson is the shade of wounds large like gashes on your arms but as small as skinning on your knees. it's the shade of regret and mistakes and childhood, the feeling of being human and breakable and fragile. it's the tone that says all things must come to an end. it says that time goes on. things are left in the past but things are also left to heal.

crimson is the shade of roses that if you're not too careful will spread the color to your fingers.

crimson is the shade of trees in the fall, time has gone by, things are changing, the earth is healing.

crimson runs in dream's veins and sometimes he feels the need to scratch his nails against his wrists as a reassurance that despite everything anyone says, against all odds he is still human.

he is a person too.
