Kidnapped

Chapter 117: Safewords

George POV

Once I found some energy I changed into some shorts and Dream's hoodie that he brought from the bedroom, luckily I could still some what walk but my legs were still shaking beneath me.

I left Dream in the office as he changed, walking out into the house and towards the sofa. Karl sat there on his own, watching something on the tv.

I join him on the sofa and he gives me a small smile. "Hey" he greets. "Hey, what's up?" I ask as I sit directly next to him. "Oh uh nothing...just waiting for Sapnap and Quackity to get back" he says as he pulls his feet in to sit cross legged.

"Where'd they go? I thought we were all staying in" I ask. "Sapnap wanted to get alcohol stocked in so it could sit in the fridge and Quackity wanted to go with him" he explains but I can't help but notice his lack of good mood.

"And what's up with you? You don't seem like yourself" I ask and he shuffles a bit. "It's...complicated" he looks down at his hands in his lap. "I'm listening" I say and wait for him to build the courage to talk. "So-"

"Hey guys" Dream cuts him off and I send him a glare. "What- what did I do?" He asks. "It's okay George he can stay" Karl reassures me and I direct my attention back to him as Dream sits beside me. "This is going to be a really weird conversation and they'll kill me if I talk to you" he says. "Our lips are sealed" I say and he gives me one last nod.

"We've started having sex and we're exploring like what each other is into and what works for us, we have certain rules because there's 3 of us but they aren't major"

"What are the rules?" Dream asks.

"Well some polyamorous couples allow each other to still see other people but none of us want that, we want it to strictly be the 3 of us. Another rule is that if 2 of us have sex we let the other know that we have so there's always communication between us. We also have the basic system of red yellow green to make sure there's still safe words involved"

I could see him biting at his cheeks, his breathing just a little more heavier than usual and his eyes staying glued to his hands fiddling on his lap.

"Karl what happened?" I ask.

"We have a BDSM side to our sex sometimes, the other 2 love it and obviously we've all consented to it being apart of our sex but we do it for them and I don't really like it myself. Anyway Quackity..he had- oh fuck he's going to kill me you have to promise not to say anything" he cuts himself off, looking at us with pleading eyes.

"We promise" Dream encourages.

"He had a relapse" I hear Dream suck in a breath behind me and I try not to show too much of a reaction. "He went out with Wilbur, Schlatt and a guy called Slimecicle? They got pretty drunk and when Schlatt offered some weed to him he didn't think, he just took it...anyway that's not really my place to properly explain but moving on" He took a breath before continuing.

"When he sat us down and had the conversation with us, Sapnap was mad- and I mean really mad. Usually when they have a problem they take it to the bedroom, basically make up sex..which is what they did this time too except Sapnap was a lot harsher and Quackity really wanted to make Sapnap happy and make it up to me..." He trailed off as he started to cry. I look over at Dream who had concern written all over his face.

Completely against my usual morals I move closer to Karl, moving his body into mine and letting him cuddle into me as I rub up and down his back. "He wanted to say the safeword so early on but he didn't, he kept it quiet and I didn't even speak up, I just watched...It wasn't until after his punishment that Nick asked what he wanted as a reward for taking his punishment so well that he said red" He was shaking in my arms and for once I actually thought I might cry at the sight of him. He even used his real name.

"They had the whole conversation the next morning without me, when I joined them Nick told me that we were gonna stay away from sex for a while since it's pretty serious but he didn't tell me what they talked about, when I asked why they didn't wake me up they just said it didn't involve me but it did..I was there and when I woke up alone I-.." He sobbed harder, the room falling quiet apart from his heaving breathing and crying.

"Is it normal?" He suddenly asks, looking at us expectantly. "Is what normal?" Dream asks. "Using a safeword too late or like being so rough in sex" he asks as he wipes his tears. I look over to Dream who is looking at me with begging eyes to answer the question. "We have a safeword too but we've never used it but we've also never felt like we've had to either and as of lately we've been having rough sex too" I explain. "What do you guys call rough sex? Like what punishment did Sapnap give Quackity?" I ask.

"His hands were tied behind his back and Nick had a belt, he spanked him everytime he made a sound, so like a moan or a whimper, there was blood because he was hitting Alex a lot harder than he usually would and a lot more" he explains and I have to stop my jaw from dropping.

"Okay when I said we have rough sex I didn't mean that rough" I add and hear a huff from Dream behind me since my body had completely turned to face Karl. "My back disagrees" He says. "Your back?" Karl asks. "Yeah there's literally blood on it thanks to Georgie here" he mocks. "Can I see?" Karl asks. "Not to be weird I just think it'll make me feel better" he adds and Dream stands up. He tugs his shirt above his head, facing away from us so we could see his back.

It's still red and sore, I can see where the blood has been drawn and the occasional crescent shape from my nails. It's safe to say it definitely looks painful. "Oh fuck, and you didn't use the safeword?" Karl asks as Dream starts putting his shirt back on. "No? It felt nice and we both like a little pain" he sits back down and Karl nods. "I just wish they'd talk to me about it instead of going off on this healing journey without me, I feel like I'm not needed"

The room falls quiet again as I run my hands through Karl's hair to comfort him without even realising it. Dream disappears but returns with a blanket to fit over all of us. He sprawls himself out enough for me to lay against him. As I go to move over to him Karl clutches onto my hoodie. "Please don't leave me" I give him a sad smile. "We aren't leaving you, we're just getting more comfortable" I reassure him, moving over to Dream before patting a spot for Karl to join us. If they weren't going to look after him then we would.

He joins us, cuddling into me as I sort out the blanket. The Tv was still on quietly. Dream rested his head on mine as I continued to play with Karl's hair, his breathing eventually evening out. "You're getting soft" Dream whispers to me. "No I'm not" I whisper back. "You're only that loving with me, it's cute how protective you are" he kisses the top of my head and I look up to meet his eyes. "He's our friend and he needs us, I'm not completely cold hearted" I say and his hand grabs onto my exposed neck, his thumb rubbing it softly.

"You're so pretty" he smiles before planting a small kiss on my nose. "Stop flirting with me, If I get a boner he will feel it and that is embarrassment I can't handle" I whisper shout before he kisses me, then letting go of my neck. "Get some sleep baby, I'll wait for the others to come back" I smile before going back to resting my head on him.
