Attempted sexual assault

It's not that bad, but just to be safe

You can skip over

George was roughly grabbed by his shoulder, and whirled around to face the brute.

"Listen here Aphrodite. You should be thankful that I'm generous enough to help you out, and include your friends." He angrily stated.

George saw that one of the men had roughly grabbed Bad by the wrist, while another stood in front of him. Both were smirking maliciously as the Athena struggled against their hold.

Both he and Karl tried to helped him, but were stopped by the other men and held in the same position.

Karl thrashed around, and actually managed to kick one of them in the groin, only for his legs to be held in place by another person.

George's body started shaking with both anger and fear. His powers would only worsen the situation. All three Athenas closed their eyes, as they braced themselves for what was about to come.

End of Scene

Now safe to continue

There were sounds of thuds and crunches, mixed with yells of pain. The hands holding them suddenly vanished, and the Athenas found themselves being held in a comforting embrace.

They opened their eyes to see Sapnap, Skeppy, and Dream, holding them protectively, while throwing murderous looks at their attackers. Several were knocked out cold, while the others were holding onto their injuries.

"You have 3 seconds to get out of our sight," Dream said, his voice venomous.

Their attackers didn't even hesitate to run away, dragging their unconscious comrades far away from the pops.

The Athenas mumbled their thanks, before they were pulled even tighter in their respective partner's embrace.

"Forgive us, we couldn't make it sooner." Dream whispered to George.

"You're not hurt are you?" Skeppy asked Bad. The man blushed and shook his head.

"How did you find us?" Karl asked as he pushed out of Sapnap's arms, much to the Hephaestus' disappointment.

"I tried to call you a while ago, since we were wondering if you three were still on for lunch, but you never picked up. We got worried and came looking for you." the raven head explained.

"Sapnap and I did spend all night trying to convince you guys to join us after all. So it was kind of weird that you didn't tell us if you planned to cancel." Skeppy added.

Karl and Bad whipped out their phones to check their logs, and just as the pops declared there were several missed calls and messages.

"So that's what you guys were doing last night," George stated smugly.

His two friends blushed, and gave him a sheepish smile.

"We're sorry... We fell asleep in class and missed the lecture. We had to get George to teach us, and completely forgot." Bad explained sounding genuinely upset for forgetting, while Karl looked equally embarrassed.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to ask this last night. How did you get our numbers?" Karl asked.

Now it was the pops' turn to look embarrassed. "We have our ways..." Dream stated as he cleared his throat.

The Athenas quirked an eyebrow at them, then backed up a bit so there was a comfortable space between them.

"Look, we are really thankful that you guys save us every now and then, but stalking us, and getting information on us illegally is a big no no." George pointed out.

The pops hanged their heads in shame, and apologized.

"And we don't really get what you want from us exactly, because if you're looking for a quick fuck, you won't find it here." Karl pointed out.

"Language," Bad reminded softly.

The pops chuckled among themselves before turning to them, "I thought we were making it so obvious." Sapnap said.

"Okay then, to be brutally frank with you, we like you guys." Skeppy said.

"What?" The Athenas said in unison.

"You're different from others that we've been with. You're the first people ever to not throw yourselves at us, and we want to get closer to you if that's alright." Dream explained.

George noticed Karl and Bad blushed a bright red, before they turned their gazes to the floor. He smiled, they should get a chance to be happy.

He gave them both a little side hug, before looking back at the pops in front of them.

"I'm sure my friends would like that," He said with a smile. "But I'm warning you," He continued as he eyed Skeppy and Sapnap. "If you make them shed a single tear, I will become your worse nightmare." Skeppy and Sapnap gave him a sharp nod.

George then turned his attention to Dream, who was looking at him for his answer. "As for myself," he started, "I am not interested in having a relationship."

With that George walked away, ignoring the calls of his friends. He knew that they would choose to stay with him rather than take their chance at love, but he didn't want that.

They deserved to be happy, and he could sense that Sapnap and Skeppy seemed sincere. They were giving off the same aura that his parents had when they were around each other. He ignored the fact that he had also felt Dream give off the very same aura, when the blonde was holding him earlier. George decided that it was probably his currently horny mind, playing tricks on him.

Memories of his wet dream earlier that day made his face heat up.

Why? No one has ever made him feel like this before. Why did Dream have this effect on him, when he barely even knew the guy?

"George wait!" Dream's voice rang clear, making George stop in his tracks.

He turned to face Dream and waited for the blonde to catch his breath.

"Why...?" Dream breathed out. "Why won't you give me a chance?"

George tensed up and gripped onto the edge of his shirt, "Because what you're feeling isn't real." he answered.

Dream looked at him confused, but waited for him to explain.

George let out a sigh, "Dream you know that I'm an Aphrodite, I can subconsciously manipulate you into thinking that you love me. So whatever you're feeling for me now will eventually pass. I promise, just give it some time and you'll be back to chasing other girls and guys."

George turned to walk away, but Dream hugged him from behind. "It's because I know that you're an Aphrodite, that I can confirm that my feelings are real." He said.

Dream turned the brunette around to face him, then lifted George's chin up so their eyes met. "George, you aren't the only one hiding what they truly are,"

Dream looked him straight in the eyes and smiled, "I'm part Zeus."
