One
One session of Dream Duty changed their lives forever.
Fear was assigned to it, but was always bored by the most bland and dull dreams that Riley had. He lazily watched with his feet upon the console.
Joy lied in bed and thought, Perhaps I should join Fear; he could use some company.
"Oh, please, that's WAY overused," Fear muttered to himself. He had no clue that Joy had appeared behind him.
"Good evening, Fear," Joy said, suddenly.
He jumped. But when he saw it was Joy, he calmed down.
"My gosh, Joy! You almost gave me a heart attack!" he said in a half-whisper, half-yell.
"Sorry," she apologized. Then she pulled up a chair and sat next to Fear.
"What are you doing up?" he asked.
"I just wanted to keep you company," she admitted.
"No, Joy. I'm fine. You don't have to…" But his own thoughts interrupted him; My gosh, she's pretty.
"Yes, Fear?"
"Oh,…nothing." He looked at her dreamily. Not only did she have a perfect personality, her beauty amazed him. Her glow was astonishing,and he loved how her cerulean hair sparkled endlessly. That chartreuse dress really looked gorgeous on her. Her eyes matched her hair; I love that, he thought. Overall, he just couldn't say no to her and not feel regret.
"Fear?" Joy asked, snapping at him; he had pretty much gone stupor. He broke out of his trance.
"Oh, uh, yes, Joy?"
"You blacked out there for a while."
"Sorry, you're just…beautiful-". He covered his mouth. Darn it!
Joy dropped her jaw for a moment, but then smiled at him. Fear put his hand down when he say Joy's reaction. "Please, don't kill me for saying that."
"Why would I do that?"
"Because…I, well, I… love you a lot, Joy. You are kind, intelligent, and beautiful. I can't even resist you."
Joy stood up. Oops, Fear thought. But was surprised when Joy suddenly hugged him. This caught Fear off guard, only for Joy to KISS him.
"I have to admit, I love you too." Fear stood up too. They kissed again. Fear swung Joy around with enthusiasm. He put her down and they look at each other passionately.
Riley's dream ended.
"Well, I had a good night, Fear. I'll see you in the morning,… honey," Joy said lovingly.
"You as well,… beautiful," he replied.
