George wakes up feeling a little bit sick from crying, a red runny nose and a sore throat. When he woke up to his senses he could tell he wasn't in his house, he looked around the room and saw some photos of the guy he met at the cafe. He soon remembered what happened yesterday and realised he was in Clays house. He continued to look at clays photos until he heard footsteps arrive in the doorway.

"oh hey Clay." He spoke softly because of his sore throat.

"Hey George, you alright?" Clay asked, completely didn't notice George was staring at the photos around the room.

"I'm a bit sick, i think all the rain made me sick." George softly smiled.

Clay walks over to the clothing rack and pulls out his favourite sweater, its light green and has a smile on it. "Here wear this." Clay hands George the shirt and he puts it on.

"Come downstairs and i'll make something, you'll probably need honey to get your throat back." Clay said and walks off.

George POV-

This sweater is actually quite nice, its comfortable and its warm, who knew someone you met at a cafe cared about you this much. I walked downstairs and saw a cat. I have a cat too so i walked up to it and gently picked the cat up and walked to where Clay was.

"That's Patches, she's nice." Clay said and i just nodded.

"You know i never knew how much someone actually cared for me, you just treat me like you've been my friend for years." George said with a shaky voice.

"Well George, i never expected someone to trip on air. But you are a nice person, and i'm willing to help you." Clay replied with a smile and handed George his food.

Warm pancakes with ice-cream and honey on the side. 

Just as George was about to speak the front door slams open, Drista and Sapnap walk in.

George's face completely turns pale, Clay notices and goes to the front door shoving Sapnap outside.

"SAPNAP WHAT THE FUCK." Clay yells as soon as his outside. Sapnap is taken back at first because he doesn't know George is inside. "I ASKED YOU TO DO ONE THING AND YOU DECIDED TO COME ANYWAY, GEORGE IS SICK RIGHT NOW SO LEAVE!" Clay continues to scream until Sapnaps face went cold.

"G-george? is that who the guy is...?" Sapnap replies, Clay realises what George had told him last night.

"Oh shit." is all clay could reply with.

George pov-

I could hear them yelling, I don't want to see sapnap. I didn't tell Clay the whole story. I barely know him, and his sister i'm guessing just walked in with him.

Sapnap and i were only dating for a couple of months, we were friends since primary but when we started dating in senior year Sapnap decided he wanted to hang out with the "cooler" people. I never wanted that lifestyle so i decided to stay away from him because he pissed me off. Soon or a while i later i should say, sapnap starts beating me at school. whenever he had the change he would either punch or just call me names. The whole school thought of him as a high school bully but nobody knew he was dating ... me. 

One day i just told the whole school because i couldn't hide it anymore and thats where it got bad.

(flashback)

"you fucking piece of shit! DO YOU REALISE WHAT THE SCHOOL IS GOING TO THINK OF ME??" Sapnap threw punches and punches onto my skin, leaving me bruised within seconds. He shoved me into a wall and continued to hit me, i began feeling weak and collapsed to the floor. 

"I'm sorry." Is all i said and he left me there.

(flashback end)

There was no way i could see him right now.

George got up from the chair and sprinted to the door, unlocking it and walking past Clay and Sapnap, both turning their attention towards him.

"GEORGE WAIT." Clay said running after the boy.

After George had been running for a while he soon felt like he was going to have a panic attack, he sat down on the floor and held himself. Clay rushed around the corner almost tripping over him. 

"Shhh George listen im here." Clay said as he sits down in front of George. "Shh just focus on me, look at me George." 

George was hesitant at first but then he looked at Clay and slowly started to calm down, matching his breathing with Clays.

About five minuets later George was finally okay. Clay still sat in front of him holding George's hands.

"I'm so sorry George. I should have told you." Clays voice cracked and he looked down begining to cry

George just broke, when he heard Clay's voice break a section of his heart broke. Clay was the most loving and kind person in this world. He took his hand and put it on Clays mask. 

"Clay it's okay, you look so broken when you cry so please don't." George got up from his position and hugged Clay still both of them on the floor.

"George, do you want to stay with me?" Clay said. George remembers what his home life is like and silently nods.

Clay stood up and took George's hand, they both went back to Clay's apartment and thankfully his sister and Sapnap were gone. 

Clay gently shut the door, and tried to hold George's hand again but he flinches. Clay looked at George and softly reaches out again.

"Clay i'll tell you what happened, if he's your friend i don't want to ruin your friendship." George sighed and continued to tell Clay about his past.

"Oh my god, George... oh my god. I- i am so sorry, are you okay?" Clay said completely shattered in words, how could Sapnap do that. George is one of the most genuine people and he doesn't deserve to be treated like that. 

"Clay it's okay, i do have a question... why the mask...?" Clay sighed and began to speak.

"ever since i started school i was constantly bullied by how i looked, many people either punched me or bullied me because i was skinny. I have always hated how i looked., ive always been skinny and i hated it. I still hate it, i don't know why but nobody liked it. The only people who know what i look like are my family. My face has healed overtime but im just not sure you'd want to see it."

"Clay. Out of all the people out here on this dumb world, i think your the most nicest and kindest person. I would never judge you for being, you. Can-"

Clay stopped him from talking with silent sobs, god George could have broke down there too but he decided to stay strong for Clay.

George moved his hand up to Clay's mask moving it upwards a little bit, Clay calming down and preparing that he's mask is coming off for once. Clay's mask is now fully off, George looking at Clay.

"Your beautiful Clay." George said.
