A Lovely Mess

Day 13

[Only love can hurt like this - Paloma Faith]

"Wilbur needs us to do a run" George said grabbing his bag from the side and filling it with necessities.
"Right, you got a map?" dream said sliding his boots on.
"Yessir, One of the guards, hannah, gave it to me"
"Is the place we need to go far"
"A few miles east"
"Not too bad then"
"let's get going then" George smiled slinging the bag over his right shoulder as he walked to the door.

It was snowing quite heavily, George could always appreciate how beautiful the town looked covered beneath the soft whites.

Dream reached out for his hand, the warmth was comforting against the cold of the world, they got into a car and the gates were pulled apart to let them out.

Before long they were driving down the empty side streets of Edmonton, the snow had since settled and was no longer falling, George adjusted the wool hat which covered his hair.

"You cold?" Dream glanced over before looking at the road
"Not at all" George smiled in response, he rested his head against the window watching as the houses and trees flew past.

"Was it wrong to leave Nick?" Dream sighed
"We didn't have a choice, their leader didn't give him a choice"
"We'll go back for him right?"
"Of course we will dream, right now storming in there with just the two of us will just end up with our blood in the snow. Nick can hold out, he's good like that"
"Hm, i suppose you're right, i just feel all awful over it"
"I do too Dream, but sitting here blaming ourselves for something we can't change right now is only going to make us weak"

Dream sighed and tapped the steering wheel as they pulled into their destination, it was a small pharmacy which was completely barred up.

"It's probably already looted what's the point" Dream got out of the car, wielding his axe.
"Well they need oxycontin and basically anything we can grab"
"Oxy? That's going to be gone- It's hella addictive" Dream said tapping his axe on the window waiting for a growl
George shrugged, "Well Wil said this place hasn't been touched since the start, so it's worth a shot i suppose" George cocked his gun and adjusted the silencer as dream broke down the wooden barricades with his axe.

They opened the door and stepped in, some of the shelves were knocked over whilst other over the counter drugs were water damaged due to a leak in the roof, yet there it was. The oxy they needed, George began to fill bags with whatever medicine he could see as Dream walked around looking at the displays and even looking down at an already dead Z which was draped across the pharmaceutical counter.

George slung the bag back over his shoulder, he pointed out a back door which was untouched, "Odds on it being stacked in there" He noted adjusting the strings on his bag to tighten it
Dream chuckled looking between his boyfriend and the door, "probably is, but we've got what we need so let's just get back" Dream said picking up a protein bar and sliding it into his pocket

"Well, it's worth a shot" George pulled himself over the counter and pulled on the door, it was locked
"See, that's our sign to get going" Dream smiled
"Since when do you give up so easily, it's like you fell in love with me and went all soft" George scoffed, Dream raised an eyebrow and cocked his head back in response.
"Pfft, i was always in love with you the difference is i can actually express it now"
"Nope," George popped the O "Youre just a massive pussy now" He chuckled as he searched between drawers trying to find a key.

He found a pin, "I can crack it open with this- i think"
"George the master thief" Dream rolled his eyes leaning against the wall watching as his boyfriend did so.

George put the pin in the lock and moved it around as he pulled on the handle, eventually it clicked and it was open.
"Voila-!" He pulled the door opening spinning to face dream
"GEORGE" Dream yelled rushing over, A z lunged at george from behind and tackled him to the ground, George stuck his arm out trying to push the growling dead away from his face.

Dream swing his axe down into the Z taking its head off clean, resulting in george being covered in blood.

"Jesus- George are you alright" Dream reached out a hand to help George up, hesitantly george took it still shaken from the situation.

"Yeah- i think so" He chuckled pulling his sleeves down

"Look- let's just get back, we've got enough" Dream sighed gesturing to the front door, George nodded

-

They made it back to L'manberg and had handed off the medicine, they were now back in their room.

George was in the bathroom, he wiped the blood from his face and hands and pulled his sleeve up.

"fuck" he mumbled looking down at his arm.

"You okay george?"

"Yeah i just have- uh diarrhea" he lied

"gross" Dream yelled back

George brushed his fingers over his arm, hissing slightly at the feeling of the open wound.

He tilted his head as his eyes scanned over the fresh bite just below his elbow.
