"Don't ever feel like you don't deserve this, you deserve everything."

Dreams words had drilled into George's head. It was almost enough to stop him from cutting that night. But his mind was drawn to the blade under his bed. He was now sitting with his knees drawn to his chest, rocking back and forth, resisting the temptation.

"Dream" he whispered desperately hoping Dream would somehow hear him from the living room. George's body was shaking and he felt him self loosen up. As much as he didn't want to, his mind forced him onto all fours, staring at the small pair of kitchen scissors.
He sat there, staring.

"Stop" he said angrily. He pulled himself back and lay on the floor, Dreams words painted in front of his eyes.

He heard the door slide open.

"George?" Dream whispered gently. George sat up and looked at Dream pleadingly.

"Help me" George whispered back, his eyes glistening. Dream quickly ran to George and saw the scissors in his hand.

"Did you do it?" He asked quietly and bent down to George's level. George shook his head and shakily handed Dream the scissors.

"I can't stop" George said looking down. Dream sighed.

"Hey you know what, I'll hide every sharp thing in this house of you promise me you'll try to stop, and let me know if you have the urge" Dream said seriously. George looked into his desperate eyes.

"I don't want this, I don't wanna be like this" George said. Dream looked at George's face, his eyes were wide and his face was smooth. Controlling himself from saying something that could upset George.

"I'm going to hide everything now. Try and sleep George, you look tired" Dream said calmly and pulled George up, kissing his forehead as he left.

"I love you" he called from behind him. George couldn't help but smile.

"Love you too" he replied. It was the truth. Finally. Something he said that didn't brake him. In fact it healed him. The words that George needed. The three words that had parted Dreams lips were the three that kept him hanging on. And it was all he thought about as he fell asleep.

———————————

Dream had just finished locking up all the knifes, forks and scissor he could find. He walked back into George's room and quietly pushed open the door. He was fast asleep, his small chest moving calmly and his face looked relaxed. He missed the old George. A smile crept onto his face and he blushed T the sight of George. He had always loved the way George looked when he slept. It was almost perfect.

Dream closed the door and turned on his phone. George would be sleeping for a while knowing him, so Dream thought it would be the perfect time to call Sapnap.

"Hey" he said when his call finally went through.

"Hi" Sapnap replied, followed by "why are you so quiet?". Dream giggled.

"George is asleep, he's going through a rough time" Dream said as he leaned against the wall.

"What happened?" Sapnap asked, he sound worried. He could hear the sound of a car in the background of the call.

"Is that a car?" Dream said smiling but slightly confused.

"Yea obviously I'm coming" Sapnap said. Dream laughed.

"Oh my gosh Sapnap" he said feeling strangely happy that he would have Sapnap to be here with him.

"Anyway, what happened to George?" Sapnap asked again. Dream sighed.

"He's been cutting, I spent the last hour locking up everything sharp" Dream said cautiously.

"Wait are you serious!" Sapnap yelled into the phone. Dream held the speaker away from his ear.

"Shut up Sapnap, he did but he's getting better". Dream didn't know if that was the truth or not.

"Well I'm definitely coming now" Sapnap said, his voice had suddenly become worried.

"Anyway that wasn't the reason I called you Sapnap" Dream said, remembering the real reason. He had talked to him about it a while ago but now seemed more appropriate. His stomach flipped and he suddenly became nervous to talk about it.

"Is it what I think it is?" Asked Sapnap, an engine revved into life behind his voice.

"I think so" Dream said nervously, he let himself sit on the carpet beneath him and took a deep breath, preparing himself.

"So you're actually gonna do it?" Sapnap asked casually. Dream considered saying no. But the thought of losing George over powered his second thoughts. He was just nervous.

"I... I think so" Dream said, a shiver rushing down his spine.

"Do you need help, with, um picking one out?" Sapnap stuttered, he sounded nervous too. Dream could tell he was feeling slightly left out.

"Sapnap, please, I want you to know that even after this, no matter what happens we will all still be best friends okay? This won't change anything" Dream said promisingly. He loved Sapnap as a friend. He had even known him longer than George. And Dream could tell how Sapnap easily felt sad because he had trouble keeping friends. He made him cling on even after big fights that could cause them to split.

"I mean, it will change" Sapnap said distantly. Dream sighed.

"It won't change more than it already has. Both me and George aren't very comfortable with expressing emotion so I doubt we'll be calling each other babe or shit like that" Dream said seriously, trying to convince Sapnap.

"I believe you Dream. You guys are great together, I'm truely happy for you" he said. Dream heard the truth in his voice. It made him happy knowing he had a good friend by his side.

"It can be just like last time, you by my side!" Dream said excitedly. He suddenly felt a wave of energy spread through his body.

"So are you gonna help me?" Dream asked after Sapnap didn't reply, the quiet hum of an engine buzzed in his ears.

"Hell yea, anything for my bestie" he said, sounding enthusiastic. Dream smiled.

"What's the ring gonna look like?" He asked. Dream smiled, he had already found the perfect one.

"It's kinda expensive with a pure diamond ball on the front, but you know..." Dream smiled at the thought.

"... anything I'd you're gonna marry someone you love"
