George was laying on the couch, his eyes closed and his head buried in his arms "My head hurts-" he mumbled
"I wonder why" Tommy mumbled, bringing George another bottle of water "You were kidnapped plus hungover"
George smiled a little "So what happened exactly?" he asked
Tommy sighed "You really don't remember?"
"No" George laughed softly
"Somehow you got taken" Tommy started to explain, sitting on the couch across from him "We don't know how. But then Dream got a note and it said that Techno had you- so Dream went and saved you. Kinda got his ass kicked too though"
"Wait what?" George asked, taking his arms off his head and looking at Tommy
Tommy looked at him then shrugged "Yeah- Dream saved you"
"Where is he?" George asked
Tommy shrugged again "He went home"
"When?"
"A while ago- you were still asleep. Quackity showed up then he left shortly after" Tommy answered
"Why didn't he stay...?" George asked slowly
Tommy looked at him for a while "Do you not remember the other night?"
George shook his head
Tommy stayed quiet
"What happened?" George asked
"You guys got in a fight- or, you got mad at him while he just took it" Tommy explained
George furrowed his eyebrows "So he left after he brought me back home?"
"Well I don't know if he left because of you, but yeah" Tommy shrugged, then heard Tuboo call him from upstairs "Call Wilbur if you need something," he said before getting up and going upstairs
George laid back, closing his eyes and trying to relax
Why would Dream leave me? Even if I got mad at him, he shouldn't have left... right?
But he saved you. If what Tommy said was true, he saved me. Don't get mad at him George
"George? You completely conscious again?" Quackity asked, walking up and standing over the couch
"Yeah" he mumbled
"Leave him alone," Karl said from the kitchen
"Am I the only one who's getting the idea that people are mad at you?" George smiled at him
Quackity rolled his eyes "Get some sleep. I'll talk to you about it later" he said and gave George a pat on the shoulder, before walking back to the kitchen
George smiled at him a little then closed his eyes, quickly falling back asleep
. . .
I was plopped outside a door. I looked around, not recognizing where I was. My hand reached up, knocking on the door
"Yeah?" A voice called from inside
I opened the door, seeing Dream with a guitar in his hands. He looked up at me and put the guitar down "Hey George. How'd you get in here?"
"Your mom let me in" I spoke, "She said you had a hard day so," I say with a smile, walking over and sitting on the edge of the bed. I look up at him, seeing a cut at the bottom of his eye "What happened?"
"What do you mean?" He asked with a laugh as he ran his hand through his hair
I reach out and lightly touch the cut on Dream's eye, furrowing my eyebrows "Did you get in another fight?"
I pulled my hand away as he started to speak "Yeah" he answered "It's not that bad though"
"Who started it?" I ask, looking deep into his eyes
"Who do you think?"
I rolled my eyes
"He just came up and pushed me, I'm not gonna just walk away from that" Dream tried
"I just don't like seeing you hurt" I say with a small sigh
"I'm fine George" Dream rolled his eyes "It's just a cut-"
"Yeah, that could easily get infected" I mumbled
"You're so cute," Dream said with a laugh
I felt a blush rise on my face "I don't like it when you get in fights"
"Welp, tell Techno to stop pushing me"
I rolled my eyes "What? Are you crazy? I'm not just going to go up to the school bully and tell them to fuck off"
Dream laughed and shook his head "No I wouldn't want Techno to hurt you"
I rolled my eyes "I can protect myself to some degree you know"
"Oh yeah?" Dream rolled his eyes
"Yeah" I challenged, crossing my arms
Dream looked at me for a while "I don't think so"
I glared at him, turning to face him completely "Why not?"
"You're too... you" Dream smirked and gestures towards me
I rolled my eyes "What's that suppose to mean?"
Dream shrugged, stuttering over a lot of different words before taking his time to speak "You're too much of a Princess"
I gasped "How dare you-"
"What?" He laughed and put his hands up in defense
"You just give off the vibe of 'oh my god; don't hurt me. I'm a lover not a fighter'" Dream mimicked with a smile, putting on a higher-pitched voice
"Oh yeah?" George smiled "I'll prove you wrong"
"How?"
"Let me hit you" I smiled, crossing my arms
Dream laughed "I thought you didn't like it when I fought"
"Well... I don't- but if it's me proving you wrong, then it's worth it" I smiled "Get up"
Dream shook his head
I rolled my eyes and stood up, grabbing his hand and pulling him up with me "Fight me. Let's go-"
"I'm not going to fight you George" Dream laughed a little, looking down at me
I frowned, then looked up at him with a pleading look "Please?"
Dream continued to look at me
"I just wanna prove you wrong" I fake-pouted
"I'm not going to hit you for it"
"Hm-" I huffed, getting an idea. I punched Dream lightly in the shoulder
"If that was a full-strength punch then I rest my case" Dream smirked down at me
I rolled my eyes and pushed him with more force
"George I'm not going to fight you just to help you prove a point" Dream reminded
I huffed then swung for his face, only for him to catch it "Are you okay?" he asked, not letting go of my hand
"Let me go" I mumble
Dream laughed and shook his head "No"
I looked up at him for a while, not saying anything until nodding "I'm fine Dream"
Dream looked at me for a while "Are you sure? It's okay to not be okay George, you know that right?"
I didn't respond, just studying his face as if it's the first time I've seen it
"George?"
"George?" Karl's voice shook George awake "Hey- uh, Dream's here"
George opened his eyes slowly "What?"
"Dream's here" he responded
George looked around, realizing he was now in his room "Uh- so?"
Karl rolled his eyes "He wants to see you- and I'm invested in your guys' relationship so I woke you up so you guys could talk"
George rolled his eyes "Why are you and everyone else so invested and intrigued?"
"It's like our TV show" he smiled
George scoffed but still smiled a little "Do I have to get up?"
"No I can send him in here," Karl said then started towards the door "Gimme a second"
George nodded and laid completely back down, looking at the ceiling
After a few minutes, the door slowly opened. George looked over, seeing Dream walk in with his head down and close the door behind him quietly
"Holy shit you're awake-" Dream mumbled and walked over to George. He was wearing his hood over his head and this was the first time George has seen him walk into a room without a weapon "Karl told me you were asleep"
George was a little confused considering he just talked to Karl but he shook it off "Did you want me to be asleep?"
Dream shook his head "No- I just wasn't prepared. Are you okay?"
George smiled a little, sitting up and looking at Dream "I'm.. fine." he answered then shrugged "I'm a little confused... on everything. Tommy told me you saved me" George smiled
Dream nodded a little but didn't look at George, his face being hidden by the side of his hood "Yeah- uh- Techno had you so I brought everyone to get you back"
"Why are you hiding?" George asked and completely sat up, tilting his head at Dream
"I'm not hiding-"
"Then take off your hood" George said "Or at least look at me"
Dream stayed where he was for a long time, eventually turning to face George
That's when George saw all the cuts and bruises on his face "Wha- what happened?"
"I got in a fight" he answered plainly
George frowned "Techno did this to you?"
"Hah, you should see him" Dream smiled a little but looked down
"I hate it when you get in fights" George mumbled, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine George" Dream looked back up at him and shrugged "Look we have to talk.."
George took a deep breath "Can you tell me what I said? When I was drunk?"
Dream looked surprised "You don't remember?"
George shook his head slightly and rubbed his eyes "I've been asleep for basically 24 hours and I'm also slightly still hungover. I wouldn't be able to remember your name tomorrow if you were to tell me right now"
Dream laughed a little and thought for a while "You really want to know?"
George nodded
"You told me to fuck off. And you claimed that everything was pointless... basically"
George closed his eyes and looked at his lap "I didn't mean it"
"Well, you said it," Dream said softly "If you don't want me around after what I did, that's fine. You just have to tell me"
George shook his head "No- I want you around. I wouldn't have gone along with it if I wasn't okay with it"
Dream furrowed his eyebrows "I got the feeling you just needed it at that moment... which is why I felt like shit afterward. I shouldn't have done that to you"
"I needed it, yes," George said "I was not in a great.. place right then and there. I haven't been in a good place for a while- I'm still not," he answered. He put his hand up to silence Dream before he could speak "But I also wanted it, and I enjoyed it- just because I was in a shitty place doesn't mean it meant nothing... right?"
Dream listened "So... I didn't do anything wrong?"
George shook his head slowly "Unless you only did it for me.. then I just kinda fucked up our friendship from what I just said-" he mumbled to himself, starting to overthink "Oh fuck- forget everything I just said, I was just kinda talking out my ass-"
Dream cut him off by grabbing his chin and pulling their lips together for a quick kiss.
It was over too soon for George
"So..." Dream whispered after he pulled away, staying close to him and his lips and keeping the hold on his chin "So that was okay?"
❗️ (start)
George nodded slowly "Yes" he answered. He slowly leaned back in to connect their lips again. He got the taste of blood from the healing cut on Dream's lip
Dream leaned into his lips, kissing him slowly as if there was no rush for anything to happen.
George's hand moved to Dream's hair, sliding off his hood in the process. His hand ended up settling on the back of Dream's neck to keep him close
Dream moved a hand to George's side. George leaned back a little, letting Dream lean down with him so he was on top
Dream pulled away only to attach their lips again, asking for permission to the rest of George's mouth
George granted consent, feeling Dream grab his other hand and lace their fingers together, holding his hand close to his head against the bed
George leaned up into Dream's lips more, Dream leaning down enough to push George back down. The hand that was on Dream's neck moving down his back and under his shirt
Dream pulled away and quickly slipped off his shirt, tossing it to the side and attaching his lips to George's jaw. George felt Dream get closer to him, just a necklace dangling from his neck
George emitted a soft noise, almost causing Dream to just melt right then and there. He kissed under his jaw, making his way down one side of his neck
George let his hand explore Dream's back, feeling over what felt like scars on his back. He pulled Dream closer to him, allowing his nails to lightly sink into his skin
❗️(end)
Then Dream heard the doorknob turn. He's actually amazed how much his senses have heightened throughout the apocalypse, but that's not what he was worried about right now
Dream forced himself to pull his lips off George's skin, barely getting off him when the door opened
Karl squealed, covering his eyes with his hands even though he could still see through them "I'm sorry- I'm sorry-"
"What the fuck do you want?" Dream asked and rolled his eyes, picking up his shirt from the floor
George sat up, looking at Dream's back and seeing a few scars and a chain around his neck; not being able to study them before Dream slipped his shirt back on
"I'm sorry-" Karl said again "We uhm-" he said and dropped his hands from his face "We might have a problem"
"What happened?" George asked, standing up with Dream
Karl nodded back towards the stairs "Come downstairs" he said and turned around to leave
Dream and George looked at each other then followed. Dream got downstairs, looking at the door and seeing Quackity arguing with another person that he didn't recognize immediately until he got closer
He was much taller than Quackity- even taller than Dream
"Wait-" George said and pushed past Dream "You... where have I seen you before?"
The tall figure looked at George and put a hand on the back of his neck nervously
"Uh- guys, this is Ranboo," Quackity said and pointed to him "Ranboo... you know everyone"
"He's with Techno isn't he?" Tommy asked, glaring at him and subconsciously keeping Tubbo behind him
"Uh- yeah, kinda" Quackity mumbled then turned back to Ranboo "Why are you here dude? I told Techno I wasn't going to be back for a while so what?"
Ranboo sighed "I came with a proposition," He said and put his hands up "Please don't kill me"
"Talk before I do," Dream threatened and looked at him
"I think that we should combine groups," he said "Don't you guys agree it would be easier? Plus, then Quackity wouldn't have to go in between-"
"You're out of your mind if you think I could ever see eye-to-eye with Technoblade" Dream rolled his eyes
Ranboo shook his head "Dude. You beat the shit out of him. You realize that puts you two tied for the scariest person to mess with?" he said and looked Dream's way "You guys don't have to be best friends, but we would literally be the biggest and most powerful group in the city"
Quackity thought for a while "He has a point"
"You're siding with him?" Sapnap asked and rolled his eyes
Quackity shook his head "No- no. I'm saying he has a point. A valid point."
"Thanks, Big Q" Ranboo smiled and nudged him
Quackity shook him off "As crazy as it sounds... Dream, you and Techno would be badass together"
Dream looked at the two, then at everyone else "It won't be easy to get Techno there"
"I can work that out... but that sounds like an agreement" Ranboo smiled
Dream took a deep breath and nodded "Yeah. You and Quackity set it up though. Just tell me when and where"
Ranboo clapped "Oh my god- okay- I need to get back before Phil realizes I'm missing," he said and looked at Quackity "When will you get back?"
"I don't know" Quackity answered honestly
Ranboo sighed, opening the door "If you're not back in a few days he might get worried" he reminded then walked out the door "But I won't say anything. See you when I see you" he said before waving and walking away
Quackity shut the door after him, leaning on the door and looking up at the ceiling
"That was Ranboo?" George asked, looking at Quackity when he nodded "I think he's the one that took me... I think that's where I recognize him from"
Quackity nodded "Yeah- uh, he feels bad... if that means anything to you" Quackity said and looked at George "A lot of us didn't exactly know what he was planning"
"Do you guys really just go along with everything he says then?" Sapnap asked
Quackity shook his head "Guys- if you were friends with him... you would understand. It's weird but somehow comforting" he tried to explain, crossing his arms
Dream turned back around, going to the kitchen- George quickly followed "I'm surprised you agreed to that that easily"
Dream didn't say anything, running a hand through his hair
George furrowed his eyebrows "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking-"
"It's nothing, don't worry about it" he mumbled
George frowned and crossed his arms "I do worry about it"
Dream shook his head
"What're you thinking about?"
Dream stayed quiet for a while until looking back at George "I'm gonna kill him"
"What?" George questioned
Dream grabbed his jacket from the counter and slipped it on "I'm going to kill Technoblade" he said as he walked past George
