A Lovely Mess

Day 4

The group had since left the residence, they now stumbled through the eerily silent streets of Savannah, Georgia.

The wind felt colder than most today, every so oren a soft rain began to fall from the sky, it irritated the group as they'd then have to walk whilst being soaked.

"This is dumb" Sapnap stopped in his tracks
"Sapnap, shut up" Dream whispered pointing at a small group of the dead stood on the street corner,

Sapnap rolled his eyes and raised his axe walking over to them, "What is that twat doing- theres like five of them" George shook his head taking out his machete.

"Being a fucking idiot; that's what" Dream groaned taking out his own axe, his axe had a wielded spike on top that he'd created late year.

Karl and Tommy stood together whilst the two rushed over to assist sapnap.

Sapnap raised his axe and swung it taking out one of the dead in a single hit, one that crawled on the floor reached for his ankle yet before it got the chance to bite him, he swung the axe down bursting its brain across the sidewalk.

"Jesus nick, you got some unsolved-" Dream grunted as he brought his axe into a Z's head, "-issues" he finished with a pant; he looked over to george who just sliced his machete into one of the dead's head.

"Yeah- the hells up with you" George shook his head, taking out a cloth and wiping down his machete.

"We're dragging our asses to another country for some kid that don't mean shit to us" Sapnap grunted pulling his axe out of the head of a dead he'd killed.

"Nick, we've gone over this, it's a good opportunity for us" Dream smiled twirling his axe.

"But is it worth it, there's five of us now, more mouths to feed, needing a bigger vehicle, there's so many more factors to it" Sapnap sighed

"We'll work through it like we always have done"

"It's different now, it isn't just the three of us"

"Just chill out, and stop going after such big groups of the dead youre gonna get yourself killed" George muttered before walking back to tommy and karl

"Me dying to the dead, more likely for you princess" Sapnap yelled out after him

"Watch it" Dream almost growled

"Whatever dream, just cause he's your favourite" Sapnap huffed beginning to walk back.

"Favourite? I don't have favourites"

"Whatever you say dream" He rolled his eyes leaving dream with the five corpses on the floor.

After all, Sapnap wasn't completely wrong, as much as dream tried to deny it to himself and others, it was extremely clear he had a closeness when it came to George, a higher likening as such.

It'd always been like that, since they met, even back in the days of content creating, there was always those unspoken feelings, heart filling emotions between them both. Everybody could see it, from friends to family and even fans noticed the two's fondness of each-other.

When the apocalypse struck, dream subconsciously distanced himself from his two friends, maybe it was due to him watching somebody he held so close to his heart die in front of him, something he'd spent years blaming himself for, something he wouldn't dare speak about no matter how much it plagued and taunted him.

George was always gentle with Dream, he always knew what to say and what to do whenever Dream doubted himself, even when he acted sour towards George, George always provided that sweetness he needed.

"Dream, you coming?" Tommy called out

Dream looked up from the bodies on the floor, he must've zoned out, "Yeah, sorry" He adjusted his mask making sure it still covered his face.

He didn't like people looking at his face, he was even hesitant with George and Sapnap seeing it, despite them having seen it countless times in the past.

To put it lightly, he didn't like the way he looked, he perceived himself as ugly. Before everything went down he would've considered himself attractive but now, he couldn't bare to look at himself.

In his short jog to meet the group he caught a glimpse of himself in a shop mirror, the white mask with a splatter of blood up the right side of it bouncing up and down his face as he jogged.

Eventually he caught up with the group and they continued to walk, inevitably reaching the harbour.

"There ain't a single damn boat" Sapnap shook his head looking out to the harbour.

"There's one but it's completely done for, it's got a massive hole in the Hull and the mast is damaged beyond repair." Karl sighed pointing out the broken parts of the small sailboat that road up the dock slightly.

"How do you know so much about boats?" George smiled, he wanted to get to know the new guy, he seemed friendly.

"My dad loved boats, i grew up around them, he always thought i'd be some big sailor until i told him i wanted to be a camera man" Karl smiled remembering his past that felt so distant from the current moment.

"Oh, a cameraman, that sounds cool" George looked out the river then back at the group

"Yeah, i worked for a guy called Mr Beast, he did something called youtube, he was a cool guy"

"You worked for jimmy, no shit dude!" Dream beamed, a name he thought he'd never hear again.

"Oh you knew him? I'd only been working there three weeks before everything- yknow happened, it happened mid recording"

"Yeah, we did a few collabs together"

"You were a creator?"

"Mhm, DreamWasTaken."

"I knew you sounded familiar" Karl giggled

" 'was the faceless mystery of the internet, forever unsolved" Dream smiled beneath his mask, George looked up to him, he could hear the smile in his voice, something he hadn't heard in so long.

"Cant believe i didn't realise" Karl chuckled shaking his head.

"Don't worry about it, it's been three years, i think everyone has bigger concerns than remembering some minecraft youtubers from back pre-z" Dream twirled his axe and walked off jumping onto a wall then down to the ground below

"wheres he off to?" tommy asked

Sapnap shrugged, "he likes exploring, he's like an over excited golden retriever" He smiled adjusting his bandana slightly before walking to a shop window, tapping on the glass, a single Z jumped up at it from inside, he opened the window letting it out before swinging his axe into its head killing it.

George however snuck off to find dream
