Dream woke up at about 12:42 am, he couldn't sleep, it was one of those nights he looked out his window to the ocean to calm him down like he usually does but this time something was in the ocean. Someone.
Dream checked up on Sapnap. He was there sound asleep in his bed so it couldn't possibly be him.
Dream then checked George's room and he was nowhere to be found as well as his shoes and so, with this in mind, Dream walked down to the beach.
"George? What are you doing?" Dream asks as a shout, concerned .
"Oh I'm just..." George almost explains but stops himself, Dream probably would've thought it was lame anyways.
"Couldn't sleep, ya know" George explains, he forcefully giggles to try to convince Dream but it doesn't really work.
"Why do you hesitate george? Why do you always hold back with me?" Dream walks over to George and stands beside him. George can feel Dreams stare but doesn't make eye contact, instead he keeps his eyes locked on the ocean in front of him, the waves that crash on his chest.
"I'm an overthinker Dream, you know that" George says softly
"Do I? Ever since you came here you've felt so distant. You don't even want to go into the ocean but before you came to Florida you wouldn't shut up about going to the beach and going swimming with us?" those words got George thinking 'oh god George, see this is what I mean, you got attached and he doesn't even like you'
"Oh. I'm sorry" George responds upset.
Dream shakes his head slightly in confusion "why?"
"You said I wouldn't shut up about it, I can imagine that was really annoying"
Dream laughs and responds "it wasn't annoying it was adorable"
George turns around instantly and faces Dream, did Dream really think that George was adorable?
"Really?" George asks, he wasn't looking for an answer.
"Yes, now, you didn't answer my questions George. Why do you have to hold back with me? What didn't you come swimming until now...by yourself?" Dream asks him to place and hand on Georges shoulder making his shoulder wet but George didn't mind he liked when Dream touched him, physical stuff was important to him.
"Let's go in now, I'll explain on the beach".
Once Dream and George reach the beach, they find a spot on the sand and sit down and George explains:
"My little sister doesn't like swimming, she'd only ever go if I went with her, tonight she wanted to go swimming well I guess today for her with the timezones and stuff like, we're on other sides for the world now and-" George looks at Dream and can instantly tell he's rambling. George clears his throat and starts up again.
"She wanted me there, to be swimming with her, and as afraid as I am of the ocean, I had to be there for her. I guess I just felt bad that I left her. That I left my family for...this" George gestures with his hands.
"You're scared of the ocean?" Dream asks, confused.
"Not exactly this ocean but um, you know the saying "ocean of emotions" well I've been feeling it a lot lately and um I guess I'm scared that I'll get pulled out, too attached to Florida, too attached to this lifestyle and..." George hesitates.
"George, talk to me" Dream says taking Georges hand in his own "I'm here for you"
"That's the problem"
"What? You need to elaborate, George"
"You're here for me. With me. And I'm getting attached." George pauses but continues shortly after.
"To you" George finally says with a breath
'Me?' Dream thinks to himself, Dream grasped George's hand tighter, not hurting it but as a sort of approval I guess.
"Dream I'm getting attached to you, I love spending time with you it's always been you but just like this ocean, I'm getting pulled out. Going somewhere that I don't think I'm ready to go, I'm not ready to swim out where the ocean is so deep you can't even see the ocean floor- it's too much, Dream" George responds, he was kind of upset, he had just confessed his feelings to Dream but at the same time George was rejecting any possible feelings that Dream had for him.
"I'm too much, aren't I George?" Dream asks.
"What, no!"
"George, you need to understand that everything in life is gonna be filled with emotions! You can't keep avoiding your problems, you can't keep avoiding me!"
"I never said you're a problem, Dream, that's not what I'm saying at all. All I'm saying is that I've been avoiding my feelings but now I've confronted you so everything is fine and whatever"
It's silent for a minute. Not awkward but it's clear they're both thinking, god knows what about.
"Well we both know I am a bit of a problem'" Dream says with a giggle and George giggles as well, it was a simple gesture but it lightened the mood.
"George"
"Yes, Dream?"
"You're cute"
"W-what? How can you just say stuff like that like-"
"You're doing that thing again, ya know, where you don't shut up"
"Oh... sorry"
"You're adorable"
"Yeah you said that already yesterday"
"Okay shut up, idiot"
"If you say so".
And so, Dream and George sat in silence on the beach, a comforting silence, they both had so many things to think about but for the time being they decided to think about each other and for them, that worked well enough.
