34. odd socks

(from this prompt list, requests always welcome! 💖)

Of all the ways that Dream could wind up naked in his apartment, Hob had never quite envisioned...... this.

Dream had shown up on the doorstep on his flat, soaked through to the bone, after apparently having been kicked out of his "realm" by his "librarian" because of the "weather." Hob understood all those words individually, even if they didn't quite make sense to him in the ways that Dream had used them. Though parsing Dream's meaning had seemed less important than trying to comfort the man, who looked nearly on the verge of tears when Hob opened the door. So Hob had pulled him inside and ushered him into his bathroom, arms full of dry towels and soft clothes scavenged from Hob's own wardrobe.

So Dream was naked. Probably. Behind the bathroom door in Hob's flat, changing into Hob's clothes. And Hob was trying very, very hard to be as normal about that as possible.

He distracts himself by putting the kettle on, by putting together a plate of biscuits and steeping the tea. He would try to persuade Dream to eat, to see if he could get him to open up about what exactly-

"Hob?"

Hob nearly jumps at the sound of his voice, turning to find Dream standing behind him. He's wearing the clothes that he'd been given. The band t-shirt is nearly falling off of one of his shoulders, the sweatpants hang loose around his hips and-

Hob hadn't been paying attention to the socks when he'd grabbed them.

They're bright pink. And covered with ducks.

Hob bites his lip. He doesn't particularly feel confident that Dream wouldn't take offense if he accidentally smiled at the sight, god forbid if he giggled. But Dream looks cute. Not that Hob would say that to him.

Hob presses one of the mugs of tea into Dream's hands.

"Right," he begins. "So what exactly happened in your 'realm' again?"
