ch19: see-saw

(no specific spot for song)

~Dream POV

We stand patiently waiting on the sidewalk, trying to signal for a taxi. Once we finally get one to stop, we get in eagerly wanting to leave the airport. We both sit in the back seat, George leaning against my shoulder as we drive to his house. The ride was silent but I didn't mind, I'd rather not talk to the driver anyway.

"is this it?", the cab driver asked

I look out the window and realize we're already here. I pat George's lap and he jumped up, seemingly frightened.

"is this it georgie?"

George muffled an 'mhm' and went back to resting on my shoulder but we had to leave. The driver heard Georges mumbled 'yes' and went to open the trunk. I unbuckle both of our seatbelts and open my door, laying George the seat. I sigh before picking him up bridal style to carry him inside. I don't understand how he sleeps so often.

Thanks to the driver, our bags were already out of the trunk, sitting on the driveway. I struggle to grab money out of my pocket with George in my arms but I manage. The driver laughed and nodded, signifying his thanks.

He drives away and my gaze makes its way to George. His head leaning against my shoulder as I effortlessly carry his light body to the doorstep. I leave the luggage on the driveway because I knew nobody would take it, he lived in a really open neighborhood.

We reach the doorstep and I stake George's keys out of his pocket and unlock the front door. As I walk in I admire the nice furniture and how clean it is. Almost spotless.

I lay George down on the couch and plant a kiss on his forehead. I quickly jog out to the driveway and grab the few bags I left. I walk back in the house, George in the same position I left him in.

I take a nearby blanket, that was folded perfectly, and carefully laid it on George. I tucked in the sides of the blanket to make sure he staid warm. When I'm finally able to take my eyes off of George, I start to wander about the house.

I make my way to the kitchen.

My jaw slightly drops when I see how pristine the whole room was. Not a speck of dust in sight. Maybe he doesn't even use the appliances. I walk back through the living room, and George was still asleep. So I walked upstairs.

First thing I saw was the restroom to my left, I can only imagine how clean he keeps it. I smile when I get a glimpse of the room to my right. I could tell it was George's immediately. I softly open the door, trying not to be too loud. The walls were a faint white, with one accent wall painted blue. On that wall he had fanart and other knick-knacks hanging.

Everything was in perfect place.. until I saw a piece of cloth on the bed. I pick up the cloth to reveal it was a hoodie. My hoodie. When I released my new merch, I sent George one that I had worn.

It made me smile to see that the only thing not put away neatly was my hoodie.

I walk back down to George to see once again, he hadn't moved. I didn't want to move his head so I lifted his legs and sat under them. He then rested them on my own legs.

The remote was soon in my hand and I was scrolling through channels. This went on for a while. I landed on a good movie and sat there. But barely paying attention to movie, mostly gazing at George.

~George POV

I open my eyes to an unusual feeling. This isn't Dreams blanket.. it's mine?

Before I get to ask any questions, I soon realize we made it to my house. I don't remember even exiting the cab. But as long as we're here.

"dream.. when did we get here?", I struggled to get out the words due to my morning voice.

Dream glares in my direction with a wide smile.

"georgie! you're awake.. finally."

I rolled my eyes at him, he just scoffed playfully. I sat up and scooted next to Dream, because if I stayed laying down I would've fell asleep again. Dreams hand rested on my thigh as I continued to shuffle trying to get comfy.

"what time is it?"

"um.. almost 3am brighton time, but in florida it'd be about 10pm.."

"dream.. you always let me sleep so long."

He stares at me, almost confused.

"you think you're easy to wake up?"

We both laugh but it ended with a moment of silence. I break the silence by saying,

"..let's do something"

"when?"

"right now.."

"like what? it's 3am george"

"anything."

I stood up and offered Dream a hand. He sighed and took it, standing up perfectly fine on his own but I honestly just wanted to hold his hand.

"grab a coat!"

Dream grabs his bag and shuffles through it to find his jacket. We both suit up and return to our previous position, holding hands by the doorway.

"well. what are we waiting for?", Dreams says, interrupting the silence.

"nothing.."

I open the door and lead him the street. We stood there for a second before I kissed him gently. The warmth of his lips felt safe against the cold wind.

The kiss ends and I take his hand again. We start to walk, I'm not sure where but we just keep walking. The walk was silent but was still welcoming. We bumped shoulders as we continued to walk for what seemed like forever.

I suddenly stopped when we reached a park in the middle of nowhere. It was honestly kind of scary but the streetlights helped a little.

"dream? can we.."

".. HELL YEAH"

I feel a tug on my arm as Dream starts to run towards the playground. He quickly sat on the swing and started to push himself.. but pretended that it was difficult.

"georgieeeee. come push meeeee."

"stop being a baby"

He made a pouty face at me and it won me over immediately. I walked behind the swing and pushed it as hard as I could, considering our weight difference. We laughed and joked as he continued to swing back and forth. Eventually jumping off and landing in the mulch.

Before I could even blink he was running to the see-saw. How does he have so much energy..

"georgie! come get on!"

I slouch as I walk to the see-saw, pretending to resent the idea. I sit on opposite side of Dream but it does nothing. His sides still on the ground. I could hear Dream snicker mad I tried to use the see-saw but I still didn't get it.

I hop off and instead go sit with Dream on his side.

"i think it's broken dream.."

".. mhm. it's broken for sure."

He leaned in to kiss me and once again, the warmth protected me from any cold in the world.

The sun was starting to rise so we started to walk back home. We both watched it come up and Dream really enjoyed it. I wish I could've got the full experience. For me it's just all yellows but, I know it was pretty for Dream so, that's all that matters.

We're almost home when we get stopped by someone interrupting our conversation. I squeeze Dreams hand but gasp when I actually see who it is.

"well hello princess.. how are you george?"

⚠️: oh yeah cliffhanger....

⚠️: pls take care of yourself and i'll talk to you later... I LOVE YOU
