mending your heart [dreamnotfound]

chapter twenty [final]

6 months later...

george and clay spent 2 weeks after everything going down together alone, karl and sapnap flew home and the two finally had time to be together and be a real couple even fitting a stream in together which safe to say it kept george on track with all of his recovery.

but eventually clay did have to leave, he flew back to florida shortly after valentine's day and the 2 were apart for a little under 6 months.

clay was always surprising george the years they had been friends and now they were together there was just more to come, the first surprise being that he flew george out to florida as it was a well needed break for george as he had been working hard since coming back.

when he arrived in florida, for the first week it was filled of strange nights and sleeping days, after all he hadn't adapted to the time zones yet.

but when he eventually did every morning, he would wake the warm sun peaking through the curtains, and the feel of arms around his waist, or the feel of a hand brushing hair from his face.

so when he woke up this morning, the day was no different.

he woke to the sun shining onto his face and a hand brushing his fluffed chocolate hair from his face.

and when george opened his eyes he saw the yellow eyes looking at him, and a smile spread across clay's face, the smile being contagious because that was the first george did...

smile.

clay watched carefully as george came around from his sleep, and it was a beautiful site to clay, it always had been and it always would be.

as george came around more clay spoke.

"morning sleepy head, actually adapting to the time zone now i see." he said as george smiled and reached to his eyes rubbing them while speaking.

"just about..." he said then turning his head to face clay.

the two exchanged a look and then both leaned in for a kiss, holding it there for a few seconds.

after they pulled away george worked his head down to clay's chest and pressed it against his chest, then closing his eyes again with a smile as clay laughed and spoke.

"baby, you can't still be tired you slept for 13 hours straight, i had to check you were breathing at one point." he said as george smiled more then speaking into clay's chest.

"5 more minutes..." he said as clay laughed and ran a hand through george's hair speaking, there was one thing he knew would get george to sit up and wake up to argue playfully against him... so he knew the way to get him up without 5 more minutes in bed.

"fine... 5 more, oh and by the way you snore a little." he said as george's head snapped up speaking.

"i do not!" george exclaimed as clay laughed, wheezing at the end speaking.

"you do george, but it's cute and small, and it's a snore i could listen too for the rest of our lives." he said, dropping hints for something, but george not picking up.

clearly he didn't as george slid back crossing his arms and sitting cross legged on their bed.

"i do not snore! i've been alive for four and a bit years longer than you i think i would know if i snored! i know i fidget in my sleep, but i don't snore." he said bluntly as clay raised a brow and spoke.

"shush, it's cute and it doesn't bother me, i shared a couch with sapnap before and he snores worse than you! and like i said i could listen to it for the rest of our lives." he said again as george blinked and then stuck a middle finger up, still taking no notice.

clay smirked and out of the blue licked george's face, causing george to laugh and exclaim.

"clay! what the hell was that for?" he whined, as clay laughed with george.

the two were at their happiest with each other... and it was no lie that everyone could see that.

sapnap and karl included, the two of them had been dating for just under a year at this point, and karl moved to florida and in with clay and sapnap a few months after they spent time in the uk with each other.

sapnap and karl saw the difference in the two between when they were apart and when they were together in person.

as much as the two attempted to sync sleep schedules, things would come up on both sides causing it too get messed up.

as karl and sapnap stood outside of george and clay's door, listening to the happiness of the both they didn't want it to end because to be truthful the last two months of george being in the uk and clay being here...

clay could have easily of gone off of the rails if he was living alone and didn't have sapnap messaging george to inform him of anything going on.

"i wish george could be here forever... they're so happy, and i know when they have to say goodbye in the airport next month it'll get harder and harder, we know that more than anyone." karl said looking up at sapnap who stood leaning against the door.

"i'm sure some way we'll work out a way to get his visa approved." sapnap said as karl raised a brow and spoke.

"there are only two ways a visa can be approved, one is marriage and the second is company work... george has neither despite the fact you, clay and george are on the same merch company i don't think it counts." he said as sapnap sighed agreeing, that the likeliness of the visa being approved right now was very small, and the two knew marriage was not on either of the two's minds...

or so they thought anyways.

after the two hearing the happiness of their friends, they left the two giggling and laughing boys to their own space, going downstairs and towards to the kitchen to grab something to eat.

meanwhile, george was still refusing to get out of bed, as an idea popped into clay's head, it was mean for 11 am, which was early for george, but he knew george would find it funny and manage to forgive clay for it easily.

clay did no more and smirked, then pulling george off of the bed and picking him up so he was half over clay's shoulder.

george squealed from the sudden movement and shouted.

"clayyy! put me down!" he said as clay spoke.

"nope, you pushed me to the limit." he said then walking out of their room at a pace and down the stairs fastly.

george was shocked but also at his happiest in this moment, the jokes and the laughing and the love he could feel in the atmosphere was his happiness.

clay then ran through the kitchen and out of the doors to the outdoors, and when they got outside george realised and shouted out at clay trying to squirm out from his arms.

"clay! do not throw me in this pool, and I swear to god i will pull you in there with me! i'm not joking" he shouted as clay laughed and did no more, and threw george off of his shoulder into the freshly cleaned swimming pool.
