Falling For You - DNF

TW - Suicide, Depression

George and Dream were relaxing on the couch. They had just told each other their feelings and became a couple. The news was playing in the background as they kissed.
    "I'll be back." Dream smiled and went to the kitchen, leaving George alone.
    The brunette switched channels as he waited for his boyfriend to return. He flipped through to find Cartoon Network and stopped switching. Adventure Time was playing as George waited. Dream returned with two hot chocolates. It was winter in London. The snow fell outside the windows that sat behind the TV. Dream placed the two mugs on the coffee table and got under the blanket with George. The dirty blonde hugged the brunette.
    "You're so warm." George smiled.
    Dream placed a kiss on George's cheek and fell asleep. The two boys held each other until morning.
    "Wake up, sleepyhead." A voice spoke from the kitchen.
    George opened his eyes to see the same thing he last saw, just lighter. He smelt the waffles Dream had cooked.
    "I'm coming." George yawned.
    He walked over to the table and sat down. Dream brought a plate for both him and his boyfriend. He went back to the kitchen and filled two glasses of water for them to drink. Breakfast was eaten and they ended up on the couch together again. Days went by like this then, days turned into months. Suddenly, it was already summer. Dream and George got out of the house and went into the city. They walked through downtown and shopped. They went to the zoo and booked a hotel for the night. Before heading to the hotel, Dream walked George up to the roof of an office building.
    "It is beautiful up here." George smiled. "You can see the whole city!"
    Dream giggled. "It's not as beautiful as you." The couple kissed as the sun set behind them.
    George pulled away and sighed.
    "What is it?" Dream questioned.
    George looked up at the taller male, a tear rolled down the brunette's face. "I have to go to America tomorrow. I have a friend who I want to meet."
    "Oh.. how long will you be gone?" Dream asked.
    George hugged the dirty blonde. "Two months, you will be okay. You have friends here to hangout with!" George smiled.
    "Okay. Goodbye, George." Dream kissed the brunette before walking down the stairs and heading home.
    It had been one month since George had left. Dream was in the wrong headspace. He hadn't eaten in multiple days and felt sad without his significant other. His friend Sapnap had lived around 5 minutes away and would try to check up on him every day. But, there was never an answer at the door. He tried calling and texting but never got an answer. Sapnap went to his last resort, George. The brunette picked up the phone.
    "Hey, Dream won't answer any of my texts or calls. I don't think he's okay." Sapnap talked through the phone.
    "Oh, he hasn't been responding to mine either." George felt a tear roll down his cheek.
    Sapnap's heart dropped. "George, you need to get back to London as soon as possible."
    "Is something really wrong? What's going on?" George freaked out.
    Sapnap walked out of the house. "He's obviously doing horribly right now if he's not answering you. He loves you, George." Sapnap ran towards the dirty blonde's house.
    George wiped a tear. "Okay, I'll book the next flight. See you soon."
    The phone went silent as Sapnap arrived at Dream's home to see no car. "Where has he gone?" He panicked.
    George's plane landed in 2 minutes. It had been around 9 hours since he heard the news about Dream. George hoped his boyfriend was okay. The plane landed and the brunette rushed out of the airport. He took his phone out of his pocket and hit Sapnap's contact. The phone rang.
    "Hey, I just landed. Have you found him?" George flagged for a taxi.
    Sapnap was crying. "I can't find him, George. I'm worried."
    "I think I know where he is." George gave the directions to the office building to the taxi driver.
    "Don't worry. I'll find him." George hung up the phone.
    The taxi stopped on the side of the road and George climbed up to the roof. Just as he expected, Dream was standing there.
    "Dream!" George smiled as he wiped a tear off his cheek.
    Dream turned his head around to see his boyfriend. "Come hug me." He smiled.
    George rushed over and hugged Dream. "I missed you. I'm so sorry for leaving." He burst out into tears.
    Dream leaned backwards into the dark night. They began falling. George hugged Dream tight, knowing that this was the end. He sobbed.
    "I'm falling for you, George..."
