I Never Gave Up.

Shifting in his Arms

The brown eyed boy with dark hair sat there looking at his alarm clock before he went to sleep thinking about the blonde boy he saw at school today like he did every other day, did he think he was catching feeling for him after 3 weeks of friendship, nah he couldn't possibly catch feelings for his best friend.

He plopped down on his pillow staring at the ceiling before plugging up his phone and drifting off to sleep. He woke back up at 3 am, "FUCK FUCK FUCK" he knew it, his dreams where about the blonde boy, he started catching feeling so long ago, how could he stop it, he doesn't know. He curled under his blanket to try and go back to sleep but it was useless he just kept thinking about 'Dream'.

After about 30 more minutes of nonstop thinking about Dream, George started sobbing, because he knew if he ever told Dream he had caught feelings, their friendship was over, or maybe not, but he wasn't going to risk it. His tears started flooding his pillow as he layed there if he couldn't tell Dream in person, he will do it in his conscious, he reached over to grab his phone, and pulled up YouTube, he searched up "how to shift into somebody's arms" and started to follow the steps of the video as it played. He knew this wasn't going to help his feelings much about his best friend, but he still did it anyways, he had 4 hours till sunrise so he went step by step with a small script and waiting for the symptoms. They finally came after a few and he just let it happen. He found himself in Dream's arms, he felt safe here he fell asleep making sure he didn't script to wake up in his current reality.

4 hours later

George finally woke up still realizing he was still in his desired reality, so he quickly said his safe words and snapped out of it back to his room where the sun shined through his windows making a glare. He got up quickly realizing it was Saturday, and he had plans with Sapnap and Dream. He made his way to the bathroom holding a pair of clothes, he layed them on the sink, and brought out a towel from the cabinet, then he undressed himself and hopped in the shower.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About 30 minutes later

He came out of the bathroom, and started packing clothes as he was also staying the night at Dream and Sapnap's house. He was about to leave until he realized a blade was laying very noticeably on the bedside table where his mom could see it he quickly shoved it in his drawer and covered it up with papers from school as it was nothing. He then ran to the front door holding his phone and grabbed his car keys, he ran very fast out to the car and started driving to Dream and Sapnap's house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arrived

George had arrived at Dream's house, he was kind of scared to go inside but he went up to the door and knocked anyways, The door had opened very quick on the first knock and there stood Dream, George couldn't help but admire him for a second , "Well you opened the door fairly quick" He said with his British accent spilling out, "I was excited for you to come! I only ever hang out with Sapnap but I finally found a new friend :)" Dream was nearly bursting with joy George couldn't tell why, he isn't a new puppy, no ones ever acted this way around him, but he just smiled and went inside.

"Hi George!" Sapnap said while looking at his phone, George didn't know Sap to well but he seemed cool so he didn't mind hanging out with him, Dream asked him about some stuff to get to know George more and George asked him the same questions, including the question "What's your relationship status" George smiled at that one and said he was single the last b-... partner he had was about 2 years ago, Dream heard the "B" come out of Georges mouth and kind of got a feeling he was gay, but he didn't care he didn't even know anything about stuff like that he just dated whoever he had feelings for. Dream answered that question saying "Oh yeah I'm single and not really crushing on anybody at the moment :)" That made George feel all fuzzy inside even though Dream literally said he wasn't crushing on anyone well "Not Really". It was about mid-day and the 3 boys were out trying to teach George how to skateboard, he was very bad at it but he was learning, "Ok George *wheeze* how about I hold onto you while you skateboard so you don't fall?" Dream had asked him, "Yes because if I fall one more time I might just cripple" George wasn't thinking at this time and Dream told him to get up on the skateboard and then he held his hand as he told George to push off, George felt Dream grab his hand his mind started racing he got super stumbly at the thought of Dream just holding his hand he was in a dream state right now and *BOOM* he fell again but Dream had a strong grip on him and pulled him back up "How did you even fall that time" Dream was laughing so hard and it made George start to laugh a little, Sapnap was just watching and laughing this whole time because this was all super funny, Dream decided they would all drive back home and try another day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They had arrived back at Dream's house and George was packing up to go he was a bit embarrassed to stay another night, "Hey man where are you going?" Dream asked "Oh, I-I'm going home" George chuckled "Whyyyyy I think you should stay until Monday, It'll be funnn" Dream wanted the boy to stay badly, he hasn't had any other friends but Sap and George at the time, "Uhm I mean I can stay, but where will I sleep?" George wasn't to sure why Dream wanted him to stay, "Uhm 3 choices, the couch, my bed, or Sap's bed" Dream told the boy "Your bed? Where will you sleep then" George was super confused at this point "Don't play silly I have like a king sized bed we can share if you want" Dream had no idea why he just said that "Don't be silly" Ugh its not like they are dating... "Uhm I guess we will see once I get tired" George didn't know what to do SHARING A BED WITH DREAM? Sapnap was in the kitchen witnessing this whole thing go down, he had a very weird feeling about these two.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was now night time and George had to choose, he decided he would just go to sleep in Dream's bed before he got there, that would be ok! He went into Dream's room and got onto his bed he layed down and covered himself up, it took him 10 minutes of thinking to fall asleep, Dream's bed was so cozy usually it takes 40m-40h. Dream was feeling tired after about an hour of George falling asleep and he decided to head to bed, he went into his room and he saw George laying in his bed, Dream thought to himself "He looks so cute like that" He caught himself thinking this and then started telling himself "No your just friends." Over and over as he walked over to his bed and plopped down, that made George wake up for a second he then rolled over his face facing Dream's, Dream started to admire the boy as he slept, but then he thought again "No yall are just friends he would hate you, you don't like him. Don't start thinking about him like that" He then covered himself up and went to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

George had finally woken up, he looked around him almost forgetting that he slept the night over at Dream's house, Dream was asleep beside him his hair was so messy and his blanket was half way over his face which made him look so snuggly, George caught himself staring at Dream so he quickly left the room incase he woke up and caught him. George went outside and sat on the porch he sat there and thought about what would happen if he told Dream his feelings they have only been friends for 3 weeks now, George started to sob again he took his hoodie sleeves and wiped his tears as they fell *Sniffle*, Sapnap happened to come outside a few seconds later George's head flew up, he quickly wiped his tears away forgetting that after you cry your eyes tell people you cried and your face is red, "Hey, are you ok?" Sapnap asked him softly "I was about to go skateboarding with my friend Karl but I can stay here for a few if you need me to?" Sap was a very caring person even if he didn't know the person that much. "No I'm alright, you go hangout with this Karl guy" George said trying to laugh it off "Look bud, your face is red your sleeves are wet and your eyes are telling me you were just crying, don't try to play it off what's wrong?" Sapnap wasn't wasting no time to tell George he's lying, "Its nothing really I'm just-" Sap cut him off "Thinking about Dream?", "No what no" George was so surprised Sapnap had caught on so quickly, "Look George I know you are feeling something around Sap, I don't care if your gay neither would he, he has dated a guy before either you like him or I'm embarrassing myself right now." George was so shocked to hear that "DREAM HAS DATED ANOTHER MAN BEFORE?" he thought to himself, "Ok you must be like empathic or you can read my mind." George said as he stood up, "I knew it, but don't worry I wont tell him its all up to you! If you ever need anything I'm here I always will be, and besides Dream is hella attractive by the way so of course you would be falling for him, I figured this out yesterday when we were skateboarding you were getting better at skating until Dream held your hand you fell so fast, it was almost obvious you fell for him like actually fell for him." George started to laugh a little he went up and hugged Sap for that "Thank you :)" George said as he let go and walked inside.
