George & The Dream

Twelve

June 4th 2021

George made it home quicker than he expected. The sun was nearing its set, and George had never been more happy to see the familiar village. He was trying not to focus on Dream, but his mind kept wandering off to him.

He missed the feeling of Dream being right beside him, all the time. But, he also missed Sapnap. He wanted Sapnap to know everything was alright.

George immediately walked towards the community house, bursting through the doors, "Sapnap?!"

Sapnap looked up from the table, "George?!"

Sapnap got up quickly, stumbling over the chair. He ran over to George, tightly engulfing him in a hug. George wrapped his arms around his best friend. Both of them started to cry.

"Oh god, George," Sapnap pulled away, grabbing his friends face, "Are you okay?! Did he hurt you?! Oh my god."

"I'm perfectly fine," George reassured him, "Dream didn't hurt me, of course I'm not hurt."

"Dream?!"

"The guy who put you in a cell," George reminded him, "His name is Dream."

"That bastard," Sapnap let go of George, "He's going to pay for it, don't worry, okay? Schlatt and I have it covered."

"What?!" George's eyes widened, "What do you mean by that?"

"We've got a whole group," Sapnap explained, "We were going to come rescue you, and kill the monster!"

George shook his head, "I beg your pardon?!"

"Now we only have one less thing to do," Sapnap smiled, "Now, we kill that monster, and we have a castle for Terraville!"

George looked at Sapnap, horrified.

"George?" Sapnap looked at him, "Aren't you excited?! We're going to get that monster back for what he did!"

"First of all," George began, "Don't you dare call him a monster, he has a name! Use it."

George walked closer towards Sapnap, "Secondly, you will most definitely not be killing him, or taking his castle!"

"Are you crazy?" Sapnap deadpanned, "He kidnapped us both, and forced you to stay."

"I know," George sighed, "But, he- he... I can't explain it well, but Sapnap, he's so wonderful."

"No," Sapnap shook his head, "You're definitely crazy, he is a monster, George!"

"He's not!" shouted George, "He's sweet, and he's gentle. He taught me how to dance, I taught him to read. He gives the best hugs, he's lonely, and he's so kind to me, and-"

"George," Sapnap sternly said, "You had to escape to get away from him, how are you saying you like the guy?"

George looked at Sapnap in the eyes, "He let me come home, I didn't escape. I said that I missed you, and he told me to go to you."

"He did?"

"He did."

Sapnap was silent, taking in what George said about Dream.

"You don't want him dead?" Sapnap finally asked.

"I'd rather myself die then him."

"Understood," Sapnap responded, "We won't kill him."

The doors of the community house opened harshly, "Won't be killin' who?!"

Schlatt looked at Sapnap, and froze at the sight of George, "How'd he get here?! I thought he was kidnapped!"
