Chapter 11: Getting let down

A small rustle woke Dream up from his sleep. Patches was waking across the bed, snuggling up to his legs. Dream let out a quiet chuckle and put his head back down to shut his eyes again. When he heard his bedroom door open, he smiled.

"Good morning sunshine." George said as he tiptoed over to Dream, pulling up the covers and laying next to him. Dream liked the warmth of George and felt safe. George turned over to look at Patches.

"Glad to have the woman in your life back?"

Dream pulled George closer under the soft blankets. "Glad to have the man in my life back."

George hid his face in the blankets, clearly blushing. "Oh shut up! You're so stupid."

Dream softly took George's face in his hands and chuckled, seeing how red his love's face was. "You can't hide your face from me. I knew you were blushing."

"How did you know!?" George said with an embarrassed, yet confused look. Dream admired how handsome he was, and smiled.

"I know everything George."

"Oh yeah? Tell me one thing you know about me that I haven't told you!"

Dream tried to stop himself. He didn't want to ruin their friendship with what he was about to say, but he thought of his mission and couldn't stop himself.

"I know that you love me."

George tried to play calm and act as if he had no idea what Dream had meant. "What do you mean? I've never told you I loved you!"

"Oh yes you have Georgie."

"Have not."

"Have too."

George stood up from the bed, trying to seem powerful and above this man who making some very serious claims. "Have not"

Dream hopped out of bed and grabbed him by the waist, pulling the two closer than they had ever been before. Dream ducked down to George's ear. "Have too." George's legs gave out and Dream picked him up, tackling George onto the bed. Dream landed on top of him, the two boys laughing their asses off.

George and Dream had been lying in bed snuggling for around 10 minutes when the sun started shining through the window.

A new day

Dream's heart was on fire. He looked at George, smiling and twirling the his hair. Patches jumped back up and laid in the crook of Dream's neck. She jumped when she heard George speak.

"So. What makes you think I've ever said I love you?"

"You don't?"

"Well...I..." George started trailing off, showing Dream he had to take a step back.

"You can't get mad ok?" Dream whispered.

"Ok."

He took a deep breath and began explaining. "When I was in the hospital, I woke up before you guys once." George turned over to face Dream. "I woke up in the middle of the night, and I saw you and Sapnap sleeping, so I just thought I would go back to sleep."

George was confused. "Why didn't you just wake us up?"

"Well..." Dream gently slid his hand down George's body, landing it on his chest, starting to etch the words on his shirt with his finger. "You guys looked so...calm. It's like you guys were finally not stressed. Away from me and everything that I come along with." Dream's eyes became watery. "You looked better without me."
