George coming to Dream for comfort isn't foreign.

He gets upset over things that a ton of others would be upset for too. Like family problems, friendship problems, relationship problems, and just life problems in general. It always sucked when George came crying to Dream over a girl who did him dirty or ended up ghosting him.

One, because that's just fucked up. George didn't deserve that. Two, because Dream has had feelings for his best friend for a few months now. It sucked getting his heart stomped over and over again when George would describe the things he and some girl did just for her to leave and never speak to him again. It's not like George meant to do this because, well, he didn't know.

Tonight isn't any different. George appears at Dream's door, lightly knocking at the white wood to catch Dream's attention. Dream looks up, suddenly distracted from scrolling through Twitter, and calls out, "Come in!"

George slowly opens the door, timidly stepping inside. He's sniffling and wiping his eyes, cheeks flushed pink and eyes puffy from crying. Dream's heart aches as he sits up, beckoning for George to come over.

George doesn't hesitate to sit down next to Dream on his bed and allow himself to be pulled into the dirty blond's arms. Dream strokes George's dark brown hair softly, murmuring soft assurances into his ear. George's body shakes as he cries into Dream's charcoal grey shirt, bunching the soft material into his hands weakly.

"What's wrong?" Dream asks, pulling back slightly and placing two fingers beneath George's chin to lift his head up. Through glossy tear-filled eyes, George doesn't quite meet Dream's eyes, looking instead at his cheeks and nose out of embarrassment.

"I-I," George hiccups, squeezing his eyes shut. More tears are forced out as he shakes his head slightly. "It's so s-stupid. I don't know w-why I even came to you."

"Hey," Dream cups George's cheek, causing George to open his eyes again. Dream smiles softly, "if it's bothering you then it's not stupid. Okay? I won't judge you for anything."

"Promise?" George mumbles, finally meeting Dream's eyes. Dream sucks in a breath and nods.

"Promise."

"Okay, well..." George trails off, leaning into Dream's touch as he wipes tears away, "um, do you remember Mandy?"

Dream feels an uncomfortable feeling bubble in his stomach; a feeling similar to butterflies but instead of the wonderful, giddy ticklishness there is a hoard of wasps stinging his gut. He nods nonetheless.

Mandy is the girl George had been talking to for months now. They were on and off relationship-wise, each time ending with George in Dream's room crying for support, which Dream gladly gave despite his internal longing for the brunet.

George's eyes tear up more as he pushes past Dream's hand to burrow his face into his chest. He cries into Dream's clothed chest as Dream tightens his hold on the older male.

"I-I'm so done with her, but- but," George inhales sharply, his breathing becoming labored as he cries harder. Dream grits his teeth as he speaks again, "I love her. I r-really do."

"George," Dream's tone comes out a lot harsher than he meant for it, so he tries again. "George, she's cheated on you a lot, babe, I don't- I don't think that's going to change."

George seems to tense at the pet name, which Dream didn't initially have a problem with saying, but guilt gnaws at him once he realizes he made his friend uncomfortable.

"Sorry- I didn't mean to call you that. Sorry," Dream frowns, "but- but I'm serious. Every time you've come to me, you've mentioned she's cheated."
