George informed Dream that he's going to go back to England a while ago. Due to this, they have decided to give each other a going away present. George told Dream that his gift to him is kinda big, so they must meet at George's dorm.

Dream holds the box with his gift in one hand, pressing it against his hip to hold it up as he knocks with the other. George's muffled voice comes through the door cracks at the door, "One second!" He hears shuffling for a little while, then George opens the door with a soft smile on his face.

Dream can't help the grin that spreads on his face once he sees George.
"Come in" George greets, holding the door open for Dream to walk in. Dream does so and sets his present down on the bed. George glances at it with doe eyes, but he doesn't drop his smile.

Dream sits down on the bed and receives a gleeful glance from George. George walks into the kitchen area and fixes himself a lemonade, then asks if Dream wants anything. Dream waves him off nicely and thanks him. Then, George softly walks over to Dream with his sock-padded feet.

"Are you ready to open the gifts?" Dream questions, glancing up at George from the bed. George keeps smiling softly and nods. As ready as they both will ever be

Dream grabs George's cup from him and takes a sip teasingly.
"You said you didn't want anything" George groans, rolling his eyes and crossing his arms. Dream smirks, then erupts into small laughter.
"Maybe because I wanted to do that. I may hold your drink as you get my gift, but that doesn't mean I won't drink it" Dream jokes. George chuckles slightly and sighs, then walks off to get Dream's present.

Dream moves onto the floor and places George's gift down to where he'll be sitting. George digs in the closet, "Uhm, so your gift really isn't wrapped. It can't be actually. Close your eyes." Dream's eyebrows furrowed, but he obeys and closes his eyes. He hears George grab and pull something, then walk over to Dream. He moved something around, then tells Dream to open his eyes.

Dream opens his eyes slowly and his jaw drops.
"George" he's speechless. He studies the canvas filled with many different colors, but he can note every line and detail perfectly. He can perfectly depict what the painting is of.

"You painted me?" Dream questions, rushing to stand up. George blushes and nods his head, "You told me to. You said to paint you like I see you." Dream inches closer to the painting to stare at every detail put into it.
"George, it's beautiful" Dream whispers, he's mesmerized.

Dream sets the painting down, then goes to grab George's gift.
"I mean mines not like handmade" Dream hesitates. George shakes his head gently, "It's okay." Dream hands George his gift and wraps an arm around his torso. George smiles softly as he opens it.

"Dream, is this your hoodie?" George questions, taking the gift out and placing the box down. Dream nods nervously, "I mean, at least we both get to keep a part of each other with us" George frowns for a split second, then nods and smiles warmly. He doesn't hesitate to slip it over his head.

It falls down to his mid thigh and the sleeves cover his hands fully, leaving about two inches of extra sleeve past his hand. He giggles softly and tries to hide the blush rising up his cheeks. Dream laughs softly and tugs on the hoodie to examine the max length it reaches. George smiles up at him.

Somehow they communicate without even speaking. George moves to lay on the bed and Dream climbs in with him. George snuggles into the crook of his neck, and he can smell the intensity of the hoodie and Dream's scent. He's encased with Dream.

Dream wraps an arm around George's waist and pulls him in. He takes a deep breath, takes in everything. The smell of freshly used paint, George's shampoo and conditioner in his hair, George's cologne; everything. George copies his breath and pulls away to make eye contact with Dream.

They lay there in silence, staring in each other's eyes. George can sense the tears in Dream's eyes though he's smiling bright. George forces the corners of his lips up into a soft smile.

George is leaving soon after they graduate. What happens then? Who will they come to when they need to cry, need to laugh, or just need to be held? What happens to them?
