George and Dream are at the fair, but unbeknownst to Dream, George is very overwhelmed by all the noises and smells and weird sticky air.
George POV
I walked holding dreams hand to the fair, it was a few streets down and it was Tuesday night so not too many people will be there. It was the perfect night to go, I brought a small backpack that was filled with, my pacifier, a small stuffie, two fidget toys for me and Dream, and both of our phones and wallet were in the bag.
Me and Dream walked in comforting silence as we approached the fair, Dream nudged my shoulder as we walked to the entrance, "u excited?" He questioned smiling widely, I simply just nodded my head trying to match his energy. Dream walked to a ticket stand and paid for 15 Tickets knowing that I didn't like a lot of rides (they make me dizzy).
Dream sprinted for one of those rigged carnival games and I tried my best to keep up with him. Dream looked at all the prizes, "Which one do you like?" He asked me as he handed the carnival worker a few tickets, I looked around and spotted a blue dino with grayish spots, "the dinosaur!" I responded while simultaneously trying to ignore the squealing children on the game next to us.
"Good choice" Dream started to play the game and surprisingly won the second time around, the bored-looking worker handed Dream his prize and walked to help some other people. Dream handed me the cheaply made Dino plushie and I hugged it and dream before tucking it into my backpack. Dream looked around for a second then grabbed my hand and started walking over to a ride called "The UFO" it looked really fast and Dream seemed really excited to go on it, "u can do this one, I'm sitting out" I explained blandly, Dream let out a fake offended gasp "please, George! It'll be fun!" Dream made puppy eyes and I thought for a minute, I really didn't want to go on that ride but I also didn't want Dream to feel bad, "fine."
Dream smiled and grabbed my hand running to be the next in line, the ride had just ended and after Dream handed the person some tickets he walked us up the ramp and into the dark ride, there were very bright lightbulbs that were flashing different colors and making my eyes hurts, and after me and dream strapped in the ride started. It was way too fast. The lights were all blurry, kids were squealing as the ride went on, the metal on the ground smelled strongly of copper, I covered my ears and started to have a splitting headache.
After the ride was done I had a few tears running down my cheeks, but Dream didn't notice since he hopped right out in-font of me to get off the ride faster. When I got out there was a crowd of people that separated me and Dream, I yelled his name but the sound of creaky rollercoasters and kids talking made it so I was unnoticed.
Without thinking I went to the outskirts of the fair and sat on a bench, it was quieter but tears were streaming down my face harder. I reached for my backpack and grabbed the stuffie that I brought from home, Milo was xyr name and xe were very soft for when I had to calm down, I also grabbed my pacifier and quickly took off my mask and put it in my mouth before putting it back on again.
I brought my knees to my chest and rested my head in them, I sat there crying for what felt like forever until I heard someone yell my name and run over to me before hugging me, I recognized the smell of lavender, it was comforting and hugged Dream back.
"I'm so sorry, Love, I shouldn't have pressured u to go on the ride" Dream ranted and apologized several times, "it otay" in my sensory overload I was thinking so many overwhelming thoughts that I didn't realize that I had slipped.
Dream smiled and used his thumbs to wipe the remaining tears on my face, he moved my head into his chest and whispered caring things until my eyes started feeling heavy.
Dream POV
I heard George's breathing calm and I looked to see his eyes closed and his grip on Milo loosen, I smiled and picked him up, I wrapped his arms around my neck and grabbed his legs before walking towards our house.
I slowly but surely made it back to the house and laid him in our bed, I walked downstairs and started making pasta, it was a bit more childish and didn't have a terrible texture so it was a good option for George at the moment. As I waited for the water to boil, I walked into the living room, I grabbed a bunch of soft blankets, turned the tv brightness down, and turned the air conditioning on a bit higher so the blankets weren't too hot.
Time skip
I finished making the pasta and had it cool down while I walked upstairs to wake George. I knocked on the door and upon hearing no answer I walked in to see George sleeping peacefully, I walk over and lightly shake him, as George woke up I grabbed some different clothes, I grabbed a soft gray oversized shirt, a pair of pajama shorts that I made sure had no lose seems, since George hates it when their itchy, and no socks again because of the seam thing.
I walked back over and George was sat up nuzzled into a blanket, I brought the clothes over to him and I helped George change before picking him up and bringing him downstairs. George sat in the chair right next to me and we ate our pasta with no major casualties, I grabbed a napkin and wiped the sauce off his face and he giggled lightly
I quietly asked if he would like to watch a movie and he nodded his head slowly, I picked him up and brought him to the living room, he gasped happily and squirmed out of my arms and into the giant pile of blankets. I chuckled and walked over to him grabbing the last blanket from the closet, George's weighted blanket that was covered in stars. George laid on my chest and I placed the heavy on top of us.
I turned the volume down and tuned on Encanto since George liked the music. as the movie went on we discussed our favorite characters, I chose Isabella and he chose Mirabel, he hummed along to all of the songs, and when the credits started rolling, he was almost asleep. I decided to just sleep on the couch that night and let George rest, I'm definitely gonna buy him some more little gear now, he deserves it after today.
I got a new haircut!! I luv it lots! I hope u has a great day and stay safe <3
