The amount of nonsense from this single scene recordings must be worse than the wedding cake mess...

The pure panic in Matthew's expression because Taylor cannot lie to save his life or stop yapping

If we don't hear from Taylor until the sequel is actually out, this is why!

Y/N : "Why The Dreaming ?"

Dream : "Excuse me ?"

Y/N : "Why not The Sleeping ? Or The Nightmaring ?"

Dream : "You can sleep without dreaming, and dream is the common name."

Y/N : "You could find a name for 'good' dreams, since nightmares are 'bad' dreams."

Dream : "The Reverie."

Y/N : "So The Revering."

Dream : "No."

Y/N : "But why not Nightmaring ? Cori would love it."

Dream : "No."

Y/N : "That's nightmarist."

Dream : "Go to sleep."

Y/N : "With or without you ?"

Matthew : "Is that how you two are flirting ? Because it's a catastrophe, stop that."

At some point after they’ve started hanging out in the Waking more, Dream gets fed up with watching random people hit on/ flirt with Hob, and he decides the solution is (obviously) to put a ring on it. 

He doesn’t get there on his own, Matthew helps. Unwittingly. A little bit wittingly. Look, he just needs these two idiots to get their shit together sometime this century, okay? So Dream asks Matthew how humans in the waking ward off the unwanted advances of others. For Hob, because Hob always turns down these hopeful humans with their lurid daydreams, so wouldn’t it be easier if he had some sort of way to make sure everyone knew that he wasn’t interested? It’s for Hob’s convenience only, and in no way about his own inappropriate possessiveness. Hob was HIS, and everyone needed to know that. 

So Matthew is like... uh, I guess a ring on his left hand fourth finger would do that? But that has a really specific meaning that you might ant to talk over with Hob first, boss, okay? 

Dream obviously does NOT talk it over with Hob first, just sweeps in and slips the (beautifully crafted) ring on his finger and says it’s to protect him from unwanted attention.

So Hob thinks it’s some kind of supernatural protection thing and that Dream doesn’t know what it means to humans. After all, the idea of wedding rings is relatively new, right, to a being as old as Dream? So he wears it, wanting it to mean something it doesn’t and knowing it will make it impossible to move on for as long as he does, because everyone thinks he suddenly got married and is off the market. 

Dream is very smug at first, but then nothing in their relationship changes despite Hob’s acceptance of his suit. (Alright, now that it went well and was accepted he can admit that’s what he was going for the whole time. Wedding rings have been around for 3,000 years and feature heavily in a lot of dreams, he knows what they are.) SO basically they are both idiots thinking their love is unrequited.
