The Side Store (DNF)

• Ch3 Part 1 | Manipulation •

>>>A WEEK LATER (TUESDAY)<<<
Dream was busy with work, so he hadn't really seen George a lot this week ever since the aquarium visit. Dream decided he was going to go to the store. Didn't take him long to arrive at the store.

When Dream walked up to the store, he saw George facing opposite of him. Once he opened the door, George spun around.

"Dream!" George said as he ran around the counter to hug his lover. "Where have you been?"

Dream explained mostly of what happened. While Dream told him, he felt an eerie presents coming from George.

"Are you alright, George?" Dream asked. George's expression changed. Dream put his hand on George's face, caressing it.

"Dream.. I think it's time to tell you." George says. Dreams face turns a little bit. He didn't like where this was going. "I'm.. I'm homeless, Dream." George says. Dreams face turned to surprise.

"You're what?! Is that why you never wanted to go 'home'?!" Dream asked frantically.

"Yes. I'm sorry." George said, looking down. Dreams hand fell from George's face.

"Then live with me!" Sapnap said randomly. He came out of the back room.

"That's the thing. I don't real-" George was interrupted.

"Uh, no. He won't be living with you, sir." Dream said, eyeing Sapnap down.

"I've known him for years, you've known him for like 2 weeks! For all he knows, you could be a rapist." Sapnap said, sassily.

Dream and Sapnap kind of started fighting a little bit. Voices rising. With no warning, someone flung the door open.

"AYE WHY IS IT SO LOUD IN HERE?!" Quackity said, while Karl also followed behind.

"This has nothing to do with you, Quackity." Sapnap said.

"Kinda does. I wanna hear some tea, what's up?" Quackity said. He was ignored by all 3 of them. "Rude."

Not even moments after, Dream stormed out. Sapnap laughed. George looked right at Sapnap, with a angry expression.

"What?" Sapnap asked.

"Just because I've known you for years, doesn't mean I want to live with you." George said.

"Reason?" Sapnap asked again.

"Have I or am I been intimate with you? No so-" George said, once again getting cut off. Quackity and Karl just stood there, waiting.

"Yes you have. You kissed me and almost fucked me while you were drunk! Now how would you like it if I told Dream those events were recent?" Sapnap said. Karl gasped. Quackity had a look of disgust.

"You wouldn't. Plus that doesn't count if I wasn't in the right state of mind!" George yelled.

"I would actually. You and that dream boy have come too close. You met him a few weeks ago, I doubt you actually love him. Don't even try, just live with me!" Sapnap exclaimed.

"Stop it you two. George can stay with us tonight until he finds who he wants to live with." Karl said, looking at Quackity. Quackity agreed.

"Tell Bad I took the day off." George said, leaving. Karl drived them back to the house, and none of them said a word. Until they got to the house. Quackity broke the silence.

"Explain?" Quackity said.

"I'm homeless and needed a place to stay. Sapnap came out of nowhere and told me to live with him just because I've known him longer. You know the rest.." George said, and sighed at the end.

"If I were you, I'd choose the person I love. But then again, you don't know what Dream is capable of." Karl said.

"He's a coder. He takes a lot of time. I'm pretty sure he's a developer of the game called Minecraft." George said. Quackitys mouth widened. Karl shut it.

"I'd definitely live with Dream." Quackity said.

"I'm just worried that Sapnap will tell Dream what happened that night.." George said. A few minutes later, George gets a call. It was Dream. He gulps, and answers the phone to put it on speaker. The only word sent chills down the 3's spines.

"GEORGE!" Dream yelled into the phone.
