Georges POV

It's about eight when I wake up, I was planning on sleeping in but I heard someone knocking on the front door, curse being a light sleeper. My moms home so i'll just let her answer it.

I can here muffled talking after she opens the door, I can't exactly make out what they're saying but after awhile there's footsteps headed straight for my door followed by a light knock.


"Come in..." I groggily say sitting up.

As the door opens i'm met with Dreams familiar face "Hey... Your mom let me in..."


We're silent for a while, he's looking at his shoes fidgeting with his fingers. I roll over making room before lifting up the blanket motioning for him to get in. He seems confused at first but eventually takes off his shoes and coat, sliding in soon after. I'm not really thinking due to being tired, otherwise this wouldn't have happened.


"I just wanted to come over and say sorry for having you take care of me last night, you shouldn't have to do that."

"Mm it's fine." I hum half asleep.

"I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable last night..."

"No, I like hearing how pretty I am." I tease which clearly makes him embarrassed.

"So are we good now?"

I don't verbally answer him, instead I nod into his chest pulling the blanket up further, his arm raps around me.

***

When I wake up around ten my beds empty, his imprint faded but his scent lingers. I sit up and rub the tired out of my eyes, ruffling my hair after. I quickly change out of my sleep stained clothes before heading out to the kitchen to get something to eat.


"Oh George, you're friend left about an hour ago. He seemed to be in a hurry."


I mumble something in response as I grab an apple, taking a bite. I pull out my phone only to see a few messages from Karl, Nick, and Wilbur; none from him.

Karl and Nick were apologizing for not answering last night while Wilbur was checking up on me.


Wilbur - Today, 9:32 AM.
hey george, just wanted to make sure you were okay after last night

George - Today, 10:12 AM.
i'm good, just a small headache

Wilbur - Today, 10:13 AM.
that's good to hear, have you talked to dream?

George - Today, 10:13 AM.
yeah he came by, i think we're good now

Wilbur - Today, 10:13 AM.
that's great!
Read - 10:13 AM.


I'm debating on wether or not I should text Dream, my mom said he was in a hurry so I guess he had something important to do. Maybe I shouldn't bother him, I can always talk to him tomorrow anyways.

***

Monday we don't really have time to talk so I have to wait until lunch. I approach him before he can sit down at his table.


"Can we talk real quick?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"You left yesterday?"

"Yeah sorry, my mom asked me to pick up my sister from a friends house because she got sick."

"Oh, is she alright?"

"Yeah, just the stomach bug."

I give a hum, we stand in silence for a moment it feels like there's some unresolved tension "So..." He starts "I know you said we were good but I just wanna make sure-"

"Dream, we're good."

"Yeah but-"

"I'm not mad, I overreacted anyways. I shouldn't have lashed out on you especially after just one kiss."

He looked absolutely confused "What do you mean?"

I sigh and decide to explain it better "Listen; last month we weren't even friends it's not like I have control over what you do, so if you wanna see other people then you can. If you wanna continue whatever we had then that's fine too."

It seems like my explanation only confused him more, maybe it wasn't the answer he wanted "Alright... If you're okay with it; I wanna keep doing what we're doing."

"Okay." I smile, this was better than nothing right? Atleast now I could still be with him even if I wasn't actually his. Take what you can get. "Wilbur's having a party this saturday, you should come."

"Yeah i'll come." He smiles back at me.


With that we head our separate ways to our own lunch tables. Our friend groups are definitely different to say the least. He sits with Nick, Techno, Schlatt, Punz, Connor, and Ponk. While I sit with Karl, Quackity, Wilbur, Niki, Minx, and Puffy.

Wilbur's quick to greet me when as I sit, I see the girl who I think is named Lila make her way over to his table. Sure it bothers me but I told him it was fine so I really can't be mad.


"Earth to George..." Karl says waving his hand in front of my face breaking me away from my thoughts.

"What?"

"I was thinking you could come over before the party, maybe help me pick out my outfit?"

"You always look good, why do you need my help?"

"In all honesty; Alex said I couldn't get a guy to hookup with me in one night so we kinda made a bet, winner gets twenty bucks. I'm confident in myself by i'm indecisive, i'll need help choosing."

"hookup?"

"Rules are we have to atleast makeout with tongue, no people i've already been with, and there has to be proof; pictures, marks, or a vouch."

"And you're doing this for twenty bucks?"

"Well I normally do this anyways, why not get paid too?"

"Okay... I'll come over an hour before the party.

"Make it three."
