He looked at me with a hurt expression.
"I'm sorry" He said as he sighed.
"Look, I want to be supportive of you relationship, I really do, but it's starting to take a toll on me. I think what I need is some time. Some time away from you guys. A break of some sort" I said as my voice cracked.
"But Nick, it's Christmas and then new years" He said with teary eyes.
"I know, after all of that is over, I am going to stay somewhere. Don't know where but I will find a place. I just need space"
"I understand" (Dream)
We hugged.
We went inside.
Time Skip Christmas eve George POV
"YEAHHHH" Karl and Sapnap said in sync.
"Took you long enough" Tommy said as he laughed.
"PRESENTS WOOOO" Tubbo said excitedly.
We were in a very nice house. It was huge and fancy. There was a big tree with lots of presents. The house was huge, like all of us can fit comfortably. It was like in those movies. There were stairs and everything. High ceilings in the the main living room and chandeliers.
Dream put his arm around me and smiled. We walked over to the the kitchen.
"Look up" He whispered.
We were under a mistletoe. I rolled my eyes. I gave him a quick kiss.
"That's it?" he scoffed.
"Pretty much"
I looked around. People were drinking and talking. You couldn't hear any conversations. It was all just mushed up together. We walked over to the couch where Tommy, Wilbur, and Quackity were sitting. Wilbur was drinking and was encouraging Quackity to drink.
"Heyyy big man" Wilbur said enthusiastically.
"Hey George" Wilbur said as he smiled.
"So what did you guys buy me?"Tommy said as he sat up.
"You can wait Tommy" (Dream)
"A girlfriend perhaps?" He said as he rose his eyebrow.
"Tommy, you don't need a girlfriend" Wilbur said as he put his arm around Tommy and shook him.
Tommy softly laughed.
"I will be right back" Dream whispered as he walked towards Sapnap, Karl, and Foolish.
I watched as he pulled Sapnap aside and talked to him.
Their faces looked a bit agitated.
"GEORGE" I heard a faint shout.
I looked around and saw Bad waving his arms. I walked towards him. Skeppy was next to him. He was drinking from a red solo cup.
"What's up Bad"
"Nothing, just wanted to talk" He said happily.
"Okay"
"Hi George" Skeppy said in a monotone voice.
Bad nudged him and made a weird face.
"What?" Skeppy said as he sighed.
Bad cleared his throat and nodded his head towards me.
"I am happy for you. I am glad you came out. I hope for the best for you and Dream" He said as if he was reading from a script.
I awkwardly smiled.
"Thanks?"
Bad groaned.
"I am sorry" He said as he sighed.
"It's all good Bad" I said as I chuckled.
"So, how are things?" Bad said as he smiled.
"Great"
"That's good" (Bad)
"So when is he gonna tie the knot" Skeppy said as he laughed.
Bad nudged him hard.
"Ouch, I was just saying what everyone was thinking" Skeppy said as he rolled his eyes.
"It's a bit too early for that" I said as I scoffed.
"Early??" Skeppy said as he almost spit out his drink.
"I think what he is saying is that you have already had so much time together as friends, so those years would count along with the time you have spent together as a couple" (Bad)
"Well a relationship and a friendship are two different things. I got those years with him as just friends. And now I am seeing the side of him as, well boyfriends"
"Not like it would be that much of a difference" Skeppy said as he tried not to laugh.
Bad gave him a glare.
"At least we got to the relationship part, some people are stuck at the part where they are friends but one of them really wants to be with the other" I said as I looked at Skeppy and smirked.
He spit out his drink into his cup.
Bad had a confused look on his face.
"What is that supposed to mean" Skeppy said as he cleared his throat.
"Nothing" I said as I grinned and walked away.
Dream was already walking towards me. He walked faster towards me and hugged me.
"Hi" He said in a soft voice.
"Hey" I said as I smiled.
Time Skip
"LETS CONTINUE TO PARTYYT" Wilbur shouted.
Everyone cheered. Nearly everyone was drunk. Dream was drunk. He was with Wilbur. I walked towards the sofa. Ranboo, Tubbo, Tommy, Bad, and Skeppy were there. Skeppy was laying on Bad's shoulder. He was drunk.
I sat down.
"Sup gogy" Tommy said as he got off his phone.
"Babysitting duty?" I said as I looked at Bad.
Bad chuckled.
"Excuse me" Ranboo, Tubbo, and Tommy said in sync.
They paused and looked at eachother, they laughed.
"Bad" Skeppy said slurred.
"Hm?" (Bad)
"You know, you are the bestest friend I have ever had" He said as closed his eyes. (Skeppy)
"Aww" Bad said as he smiled.
"Yeah right, friend" Tommy said as he rolled his eyes.
"Ranboo, you're my bestest friend" Tommy said as he put his arm around Ranboo.
"Okay buddy" He said as he got Tommy's arm off him.
"I love you Bad" Skeppy said softly.
"What?" Bad said as he chuckled.
We were all shocked.
"Did he just say he loved you?" Tubbo said shocked.
"YES" Tommy shouted.
"Congrats Bad" I said as I laughed.
"He means it platonically, right Skeppy" (Bad)
Skeppy mumbled.
I felt an arm around me. Dream was there.
"Heyyy" He said.
"Hey" I said as I smiled.
His breath smelled of alcohol. I grabbed his red solo cup.
"That's enough drinking" I said as I held his cup.
I put the cup on the counter and led him to one of many guest bedrooms.
I sat him down on the bed.
"You okay?" I asked.
He gave a thumbs up. I chuckled and sat next to him.
