George wakes up to 'cigarette daydreams' playing through the speakers of his phone. He rubs his eyes, feeling groggy from the nap. His phone next to him buzzes. He rolls over and pauses the music, checking the time.

4:38pm

He'd only slept for about 5 hours. Thoughts of dream popped into his head, he wondered if he was back yet. He scrolled through the notifications on his phone and noticed he had a text from him. He entered his passcode into his phone, unlocking it and opening his messages.

George knew dream should be home any second according to the time the text was sent.

George closed his messages and opened tiktok, scrolling through his foryoupage whilst he waited for Dream to return. George never really thought about it before, but his connection with dream felt different than his connection with others. With dream, he felt a sort of comfort... all the time. It's like dream is his guardian that looks over him and protects him, no matter what. If George ever felt un easy, his answer would be to speak to Dream. If he was bored, he would speak to Dream. If he was happy, it would be because of Dream. Dream made a lot of things better in George's life. He's always been George's number 1 support and advise giver, and if George ever lost him... he couldn't even bring himself to think about losing dream. He would be completely lost at his mind. He wouldn't mentally nor physically be able to cope with things without dream by his side, it just wasn't an option. Of course he wasn't gatekeeping dream, Dream can talk to whoever he wishes, George just feels a special connection with him. One he's never felt before, and if he loses the one connection that has helped him with almost everything and anything, that has always been there for love, support, and fun times, he doesn't know what he'll do. One thing is for sure...

He doesn't want to be on this universe, if Dream isn't by his side.

George felt a tear roll down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away with his sleeve when he noticed. Sometimes his feelings escape and roll down his face.

*ding*

💭what a timing

George opened his messages once again and clicked on dreams name, reading the message that had just been sent.

George slowly sat up out of bed and frizzed up his hair with his hands. He swung his legs to the side of the bed and stood up, stretching for the second time today. He walked over to his monitor, once again, clicking the power button. George stared at the screen, waiting for his computer to turn on. The screen illuminated his face, leaving shadows under his eyes, nose, and chin. He moved his cursor to discord and clicked on it, waiting for Dream to call him. Whilst waiting he grabbed his headphones and placed them on his head, getting comfortable in his chair once again. He heard a ringing tone emerge from his headphones. He quickly reacted and answered dreams call.
