Antidote

Chapter 5

George had been sitting in his room reading for hours. He was reading the cruel prince and so far it was really interesting. Sapnap actually found the book when he went to get resources and decided to bring it for George since he knew George loved reading.

The book of course wasn't in the best shape, it had some pages that were hanging on for their dear lives and the cover was full of wrinkles but George appreciated the gesture.

George set aside his book and realised something, he forgot to give painkillers and antibiotics to Dream. He must be in so much pain but Why hasn't He came to George's room to get something for the pain.

George got up and opened the door. Looking around he noticed that the group are all in the kitchen except Dream. Where the hell is he? Is he still in the bathroom?

Dream couldn't be in the bathroom for that long, he just needed to have a shower and showers don't take hours. Approaching the door to the bathroom George knocked but there was no response. "Dream?"

No response once again. George breathed in and opened the door. Dream wasn't in there. Where are you Dream? George whispered looking around the bathroom.

George started to panic. Did Dream run away? Not that it would be a problem cause no one was trying to force him to stay but he was hurt and needed to be taken care of.

George began to think how the group will react. Most of them probably won't care but Niki and bad will. Niki wants to save the rest of what is in lab but she can't without Dream. What was George going to do?

Too much thinking and worrying was making George overwhelmed and there was only one place that could help him calm down, the gym.

George hurried out and ran through the flight of stairs. By the time George was at the gym he was exhausted, those stairs are a workout. Twisting the doorknob of the gym, he unlocked the door.

"Dream" George was startled when he saw Dream standing with weights on his hands looking rather sweaty and tired. "what are you doing here, I thought you ran away" George walked forward so he could get a better look at Dream.

Dreams hair was soaked and he wasn't wearing a shirt so you could see his abs flexing more than before probably from the workout. The weights he was holding also made his veins in his arms pop out. What a sight.

"Why would I run away? I'm safe here" Dream frowned dropping the weights on the floor. "Oh it's just that you disappeared" George said.

"Yeah I was bored after my shower so I decided to just wonder around and then found this gym" Dream responded whilst sitting down on one of the still intact bench.

"Okay that's good" George didn't have to worry anymore about Niki and Bad. Dream didn't run away so that meant Niki can still help the others. Everything was going to be fine.

"Do you have any painkillers?" Dream asked out of breath whilst grabbing his side. His abdomen only hurt when he started to exercise but over time it just stopped. Now it was hurting more than it was before.

"Yes and you shouldn't be working out , your stitches can rip and your probably in more pain because of the excessive moving" George alerted.

"Yes Doctor, no working out" Dream rolled his eyes and got up. George huffed at Dreams sarcasm and walked out with Dream following right behind.

"You know that you have to shower again right?" George said whilst walking up the stairs. "yes I know" Dream replied. "Couldn't you of waited for your stitches to heal before you worked out?" George stopped to look at Dream. "Nope"

"Come on" George murmured opening the door to the apartment and walking straight to his room.

George grabbed the duffel bag from under his bed and opened it. After a second he managed to find the painkillers and antibiotics for Dream. "Have these" George said handing the meds to Dreams hand. "Why are they different coloured?"

"Because one of them is antibiotics and the other one is painkillers" George informed dropping the pills on Dreams hand. "Thank you" Dream thanked lifting his hand to his mouth "wait let me get you a cup of water" George stopped Dream before he could put the pills in his mouth.

After a minute or two George came back with a cup of water. "What are you doing?" George questioned as he saw Dream touching his books "You like reading books?" Dream asked with an amused look on his face.

"Yes, is there a problem" George inquired as he gave Dream the cup of water. "Yes actually" George cocked an eyebrow up "oh yeah?" Dream hummed in response. "Your reading the cruel prince and I think that's a problem"

"Why's that" George craved as he sat down on his messy bed "cause from what I've seen you like reading romance books and that is not a romance book"

"From what I've heard it's got romance" George answered and smiled slightly when Dream started to laugh "don't get me wrong, the book is good but it's more fantasy than romance"

"Maybe I like fantasy" George responded as he slightly smiled. Dream also reads, god is there anything bad about this man.

Dream ignored him and carried on looking through George's books. Dream was about to grab a book when Sapnap shouted from the kitchen "dinner is ready".

"Get a plate and serve yourself uglies " Quackity teased as George and Dream entered the kitchen. Dinner was boxed Mac n cheese. Great George is gonna feel like shit after eating that, he always does. "I told you to not bring Mac n cheese" George complained pulling a chair for him to sit down on.

"Okay sorry it's just that I missed eating it but I won't bring it anymore" Sapnap promised.

"Please Dream sit down" Niki smiled as she gestured him to sit down. Dream smiled back and sat next to Bad.

"Hi, how's your stitches?" Bad asked. "Still hurts a little bit but I should be fine" Dream reassured.

This was so weird to Dream. Dream never had this with his parents. He never had dinners like this, with people, it was always by himself. His parents were constantly working and had no time for him. Maybe dinner was going to be something he looked forward to.

Dream didn't even know who these people were but he just knew that he was safe with them although that didn't mean they could know everything about him.

Hello you gorgeous human beings, hope your okay and are keeping hydrated.

Remember Food is fuel. :)

And I'm probably gonna get critiqued about the cruel prince. I haven't read it yet but from the reviews it says that there isn't that much romance and the only reason I put it on this chapter is because it's an interesting book that I hope to start reading and just in general, I love writing and recommending books to other people.

Love you
