Includes strong language.

-DREAM's POV-
My baby was back.

I woke up for the first time in a while, to feel safe again. My hands were wrapped around George's waist as his head was buried in my neck. I felt his breathing against my skin.

I couldn't help but smile and breath out in relief. I just laid there quietly, taking in the moment I've been waiting for.

-GEORGE's POV-
I opened my eyes slowly to feel myself embraced in Dream's arms. I lifted my head up from his neck to catch him smiling at me.

DREAM:
"Morning baby."

GEORGE:
"Morning." I held his cheek while admiring him.

DREAM:
"I missed this...so much." His eyes slowly filled with tears.

GEORGE:
"Me too." I rubbed his cheek with my thumb, "But we're okay now."

He sighed nervously while looking down at my chin.

DREAM:
"I don't ever wanna lose you again George..." he swallowed hard.

GEORGE:
"You won't, I promise. Next time a psychopath comes after me and my man, I'll kick his ass from the beginning." I joked.

He huffed with a smile, shutting his eyes. I let go of his cheek.

DREAM:
"You're so cute." He kissed my forehead softly then met my eyes.

He stared at me for a while without speaking. A light smile on his face the whole time.

GEORGE:
"What're you thinking?" I laughed shyly.

He scrunched his nose with a frown. He looked back down at my chin.

DREAM:
"I'm afraid to get out of bed..."

GEORGE:
"Why?" My eyebrows squished together.

DREAM:
"Nothing can hurt us in here..." he said quietly.

I sighed then held his cheek again.

GEORGE:
"Dream, we'll be fine."

He scrunched his nose again while pouting, more tears flooding his eyes. He looked away from me.

-DREAM's POV-
After everything George and I have been through, I was so scared to lose him. Hell, I was terrified of even leaving this room.

I just got him back. Now I'm afraid that I'll turn my back for one second and he'll be gone again.

GEORGE:
"Dream, look at me." He said softly.

I looked at him in my blurry vision as my lip quivered.

GEORGE:
"Don't worry, we'll be okay. We survived what happened, we can survive everything else that comes our way." He lightly smiled.

The tears collapsed onto the sheets as I looked down.

I wanted to believe him but my anxiety wouldn't let me.

DREAM:
"Y—you're right..." I lied with a light smile.

GEORGE:
"Duh." He smiled, "Now, what do you wanna do today?"

DREAM:
"Stay here?"

He giggled.

GEORGE:
"Honestly that sounds perfect today. We can watch movies with Sapnap and cuddle with blankets."

DREAM:
"Perfect." I smiled.

GEORGE:
"I'm gonna go scare him awake." He smirked then swung the covers off of himself.

He walked to the door. My eyes widened then I quickly sat up.
