day 4/day 5

~George POV

Countless days. The days that were supposed to make me happy. I guess it was useless. Instead I sit on the couch of a strange unfamiliar place and suffer. Suffer with the silence of my own thoughts. I didn't let Dream help, so I'm alone.

When he woke up I ignored him.

I shouldn't have.

So we sit in the silence.

Am I scared?

I seem scared of him. No. Not of him. I'm scared of hurting him. I'll get him in to deep. I can't let my inconvenience hurt him.

So I suffer in silence.

~Dream POV

George is sitting on the opposite end of the couch. The same place he sat the day before when Frankie texted him. He's surrounded by pain and all I want to do is relieve him from it all.

But I hold back.

I shouldn't.

But I hold back my overprotective self and let him think. He deserves privacy.

~George POV

Everything is crumbling.

Burning from the ground up.

But Dream looks beautiful in the fire.

I don't.

Suffering is more than a mental thing. The physical strain is killing me. Pulling me to the edge. My body is sore. So sore.

Heart beating so rapidly at times, then too slow other times. I don't know why. Maybe it's the pain. The burn. Maybe it's me falling for Dream all over again.

God I wish.

I wish I could go back to night I realized I liked him. Loved him.

The happiness. Or whatever the hell I felt on the phone call that changed my life.

--one year ago--

"dream no fair!"

Dream's character jumps around in celebration as my items fall to the grassy floor.

"i got you georgie!"

"you did.."

I ended my stream mindlessly, just longing to talk with Dream privately. Quick outros and goodbyes lead to a finally personal call. No one but us.

"dream.."

"hey?"

"it's us now."

"it's been just us the whole time"

It's different. I wanted to say it's different when there's nobody watching.

"you're right.."

"are you gonna be up for a while?"

No. But I'd stay up for Dream. Id stay up for you... I wanted to say.

"i don't know. are you?"

"only if you stay up with me.."

"of course."

"aweee. you really do love me georgie.."

"do not!"

I do. I love you so much.

"i love you george! i love you i love you. see? why can't you say it back?"

"because i don't lie dream!"
