Finally

George woke up to an empty space next to him, only Patches was tucked into the dip of his shoulder and neck. He assumed Dream was elsewhere on the ship. George stood up off the bed and stretched - much to Patches displeasure

He got dressed and cleaned his face using Dream's washing technique he had shown the day before. He left the room and spotted Karl sat upside down on his back, legs against the wall

"What on earth are you doing?" George asked

"Oh hey George" Karl flopped himself down "I'm...I don't know, doing something. What brings you here?"

"I wanted to ask for some...advice?" George seemed unsure

Karl patted the space next to him, telling George to have a seat, and he did

"So, what would you like advice on?" Karl smiled

George brushed his hands together nervously "Well...it's about Dream. Since I met him, he's made me feel so cared for. And I know we haven't known each other for TOO long but it feels like I've know him forever" George started

"Right...so your conclusion is?" Karl pushed

"Well, I think I like him, not as a friend, I've read about love and I think that's what I feel about him. Do you think that's possible?" George lowered his voice in case someone heard him

"Yes! Yes! One hundred times yes! Are you kidding?!" Karl yelled shaking George by his shoulders

George pulled away from Karl "What? Why are you so...so energetic"

"George, you love Dream" Karl whispered

"Well...yeah" George smiled "he's been so lovely to me and gentle"

"You need to tell him!" Karl clapped his hands

"No I cant! I know he's been kind with me but what if he only sees it as a friend way" George whispered

"...Friend way...I hope you're joking" Karl stared dumbfounded

George shook his head "Remember what he said in L'manberg? He was talking about his pirate charm an-"

"Oh you can't be serious. You believe in him having a pirate's charm, oh please" Karl rolled his eyes playfully

"Well...what do I do then?" George folded his arms and looked at Karl unimpressed

"Well you could..." Karl began telling George of a plan that came off the top of his head

-

"You're insane if you think he doesn't like you back" Sapnap sighed

"Well, you have to accept my doubts. It's very much possible" Dream sighed and laid on the floor of the sitting room

"You're being dramatic mate" Phil chuckled from the table in the room

Dream lifted his upper half up, his arms behind him for support "Not dramatic, just...worried"

"Well, I could just help you with your next steps" Sapnap said from the sofa

Dream turned his head "You'd help me? Really really!"

"Yeah, you're my best friend after all. It will have to wait a second though, I have a meeting with Karl" Sapnap excused himself and left the room not waiting for Dream's response

"Oh Sap!" Karl whisper yelled from the end of the corridor

"Karl hey" Sapnap smiled as they both walked to a quiet part of the ship "So I got intel...Dream likes George"
