My responsibility

Clays POV-

We arrive at my house, there is a silence that lingers in the air, it isn't necessarily awkward, just uncomfortable. I feel so guilty, I honestly don't know the best way I can comfort George, maybe he will eventually open up to me, but until then all I can do is try my hardest I guess.

I hold his hand tight, lacing our fingers together as we walk through the front door.

'Baby, do you want anything to eat or drink?'

'I'm ok thanks Dream.' There is no life in his voice, whatever went on in his life, it has really hurt him.

I guide him up to my bedroom, we both kick our shoes off before climbing into bed. I lace my arms around his waist, pulling his back into my chest. I pepper his cheek and neck with little kisses, which thankfully brings a smile onto his face. I just want to make him feel loved.

'Georgie, sweetie, you should get some sleep, you look tired. I'll get you some comfy clothes to change into, and I will wake you up to eat dinner ok?'

He groaned in response, turning around and burying his head into my chest. I stroke my fringes carefully through his fluffy hair.

'Come on sweetie, you will feel better after this.'

'Okay..' he whines, lifting his head. I place one last kiss on his nose before getting up and getting him some clothes.

I find the smallest pair of sweat pants and T-shirt I own and hand them to him. He goes into the bathroom connected to my bedroom to change. When he comes out, I smile to see the already small clothes drowning him out. His figure is so small and fragile, it looks so cute.

'Do you have a hoodie I could borrow, I'm cold.' He wraps his arms around one another, rubbing them up and down to create some sort of warmth.

I take off the hoodie I am wearing, it already being slightly heated from my body warmth. 'Here baby.'

He walks over and takes the hoodie, putting it on immediately. He proceeds to crawl into my lap, we both extend our legs, his being much shorter than mine, both pairs fitting with each other like pieces of a puzzle. I lay back against the pillows and take George down with me.

He is now laying comfortably on my chest, our hands locked tight, it feels right.

'George, you can always talk to me about what happened, I am here for you.'

He sighs, 'I know.. I just don't want to bring the crap from my life into yours and make you feel like you have some sort of responsibility to make me feel better or to look after me.'

'Even if I felt that, I'd be happy to look after you, no matter how long it takes for you to get better. You're my responsibility now and there is nothing you can do about it.'

George's POV-

Hearing Dream tell me those reassuring words helps me feel ready to open up. Only Nikki knows about the situation with my dad, it only ever felt safe to tell her. But now this feels safe too.

I play with Dreams fingers which are loosely wrapped around mine. I tell him the whole story of what happened that night, what happened after and how I got 'better'. I didn't dare make eye contact with him, because I knew for some odd reason that it would break me. I know it's ok to cry, but it has always felt silly to cry over this. It almost like I want to feel strong and in control but the tears always push me back and knock me down. I finish telling Dream the story, my hand now gripped tightly onto his, like I'm afraid of letting go and loosing someone else.

He strokes his free hand through my hair, making sure to comfort and settle me. It obviously works because me eyelids fall heavy and begin to droop. Dream takes notice and whispers softly, 'no matter what, I will always support you and love you, I'm never leaving Georgie.' And then I close my eyes and drift into a peaceful sleep.

This chapter is boring ikik, don't come for me.

I didn't have the motivation to write but I promised I would. My nan got taken into hospital last night so I have been really worried all day, therefore I will not be writing the 2 chapters I said I might, I have no motivation and this was hard enough to write as it is, so sorry to disappoint 🥺
I guess sometimes you have gotta be selfish and put yourself and your mental health first.
I have a small plan for the next few chapters, making them a lot better than this hopefully, I just have to actually write them, which is the hard part. 😂.

I will try and update by Tuesday, if not I will put an 'A/N' as to why and give you guys a time I will update.

I hope you are all ok 🥺
Stay safe!!
