George's POV

After Dream and I had hugged for a decently long time, we went back to the beach. The fans had luckily left and we went back into the water to just swim for a little. I was constantly really flustered by his body. I was trying to hide that, since I didn't want him to know I was gay and I definitely didn't want him to know I found him attractive.

Dream and I got tired of swimming after a while and we went to sit back down on our towels as I got very self conscious again. I curled up on my towel, hiding my body. Dream looked at me and smiled as he grabbed my hand. 'You're beautiful, George. You don't have to hide yourself.'

'I don't think that's true, I'm sorry. I might be annoying that I don't agree, but I find it very hard to believe.'

Dream scooted closer to me and held my hand tightly as he smiled again. 'But it's true in my eyes, George. I've always found you beautiful.'

My whole face got red and I awkwardly started making weird shapes with my fingers to bring the attention to something else than my heated up face.

Dream moved even closer to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders as he rubbed my shoulder. 'I'm always here for you, George. I love you, I want you to know that.'

I felt a lot of tension between Dream and me at the moment and didn't even want to fight against it anymore. I relaxed my shoulders as I gave into his touch, I let Dream come even closer to me and smiled as our bodies were touching each other's.

We didn't say much as we both stared in front of us, having the sun shine on our faces. It made me a bit happier and for a small moment of time, I seemed to forget all my problems. I didn't feel as insecure anymore, I wasn't sad anymore that I outed myself. I was with Dream and that was all that mattered to me at this point.

Dream laid down on our towels and pulled me close to him, letting my head rest on his chest as I closed my eyes. I was sure I would get sunburnt like this, but I didn't want to break the hug.

'Georgie, I don't want you to get sunburnt,' Dream said as he saw my red shoulders. 'I'll get some sunscreen for you so you won't get sunburnt.'

'I'm tired.'

'You can sleep after I put on the sunscreen.'

I nodded and sat up as Dream started rubbing the sunscreen on my back, my face and chest at last. My stomach filled up with butterflies as he gently rubbed his hands over my body and my chest and I bushed brightly.

He was awfully close to me as well, if I would lean in, I would be able to kiss him right now. I wouldn't do that since I was still closeted to him, although I was pretty sure he at least suspected it by now.

Dream looked me in my eyes and smiled as I saw a blush on his face too. There was such a big tension between us that my stomach was completely filled with butterflies and my heart beat incredibly fast.

Dream didn't remove his hands from my chest, he even softly rubbed his hands over my chest with a smile on his face. I really wanted to lean in and kiss him, but I didn't have the courage to. I definitely didn't want to do that on the beach.

Dream smiled at me and we got completely lost into each other's eyes. We kept staring at each other and our faces kept moving closer, not realising what we were doing. Just as Dream's face was just a centimetre away from mine, I cleared my throat awkwardly and Dream immediately moved away.

It was quiet after what just happened, but then Dream smiled. 'You're actually very handsome, I mean it. Do you want to get ice cream? I know you have trouble eating, but I don't want to treat you differently. You can just eat ice cream like everyone else.'

I smiled. 'That helps. As long as you want to help me a bit.'

'Of course, you can eat the first bit and I can always finish the ice cream for you,' Dream said with a smile.

'Thank you,' I said as I smiled. We stood up and started walking to the ice cream shop next to the beach. Dream grabbed our bags and his wallet as he waited in line. He noticed me being a bit nervous, so he grabbed my hand with a smile.

'I can always finish the rest. With that, you swam for a long time, your body needs more calories today.'

'Okay,' I muttered. Dream smiled and looked at the woman behind the counter.

'What can I get for you?'

'Two ice creams,' Dream said.

I told him what flavour I wanted and he choose a different one himself. We started walking away once Dream paid and the woman gave us our ice cream.

Dream was still holding my hand and after a while he smiled. 'Do you like it?'

I nodded slowly. 'I do. Do you remember that I was going to sleep in your arms?'

Dream grinned. 'I do remember that, do you still want to sleep or do you want to go home?'

I shrugged. 'I don't know, I don't mind.'

'We can stay here for a bit and go home after half an hour.'

I nodded and looked at my ice cream which was half way of being done. Dream saw me looking, grabbed my ice cream to eat a bit of it and then gave it back to me. I smiled as it was way less now, it made me more comfortable and I ate the rest of it.

After we both finished our ice cream, Dream and I laid down in the sun again. I cuddled up with him again and closed my eyes to fall asleep for an hour.
