George

smut warning

Standing outside of the hospital and listening to myself cry wasn't exactly how I planned to spend my Saturday evening. Hearing Sapnap try not to cry made me feel even worse. He holds me against his chest and I have my head bent down. I look up and for a second my vision flickers and it's Dream standing in front of me, it's Dream holding me and it's Dream who's crying silently. I blink and Sapnap is there again, his jaw locked and his eyes shiny.

"Do you think Dream can see us?" I ask him. "Through the window?"

Sapnap looks at me and then through the window. When the colour leaves his face and he stops crying, I know he's seen something. He puts a hand up to shield my view and I object, pulling it away from my vision.

"Hey! what- what is it?" I say, turning around to look through the window. My eyes land on Dream who looks to be in immense distress, sitting up with several doctors around him. The nurse, Kirsty pushes him back down and to someone standing outside it looks almost aggressive. The monitor that shows his heart rate is going haywire and Dream brings his burnt arm to cover his mouth and shakes. His eyes are opening and closing, his mouth parting slightly like he's speaking and when he falls still I'm frozen in place.

"What the hell did they do to him?" Sapnap asks angrily.

I can't look away as the doctors let go of him, covering him up in a white blanket before leaving the room. Dream doesn't move, his eyes are shut and he lays on his back. Sapnap drags me away from the window and doesn't stop holding my arm until we are a few blocks away from where we were. He's shaking and I think it's time for me to comfort him.

If I knew what to say.

"Let's go home" I say. "We'll go to your place and just rest so we can have energy for Dream tomorrow. He'll probably be high from whatever they've given him"

Sapnap looks at me. "You know when you feel really happy and then you suddenly feel really sad?" he asks. I nod, offering some sort of support. "It's like when the sun comes over when you're sitting on a couch or at a desk and then the shade wipes it away. The shade is the sadness. And now, it feels like I'm stuck in a room where the light will never find me"

"Dream is going to be fine Sapnap" I say. "We'll see him tomorrow, he'll be really funny to look after and then we can tip shit on him about it for the rest of his life"

A small smile crossed his lips and goes away all too quickly. "Would you care if I went to see Karl tonight?"

"No, Sapnap, you do what you want to do" I say. "I was planning just to go home anyway, it's getting late"

"You won't be lonely?" Sapnap asks. "Karl's place is close, we can walk there together and just have dinner then go back to mine and sleep"

"It's alright" I say. "I'll go back to mine and we can meet up again tomorrow, when Dream is out of hospital"

Sapnap nods and walks slowly away, looking back with a small, nervous wave. I nod with a smile and he picks up the pace. I stand alone, the wind whipping my hair around and I hug myself. My arms cross over my chest as I begin a long walk back to an empty home.

"Can you please come over?" I ask Dream on the phone. It's about two o'clock the next afternoon, the sun is out and yet I feel very tired, my motivation gone. I guess Sapnap helps me get out of bed the best. He never came back to my house last night but I don't blame him. Nor am I mad at him, I just hope he and Karl were alright. Safe if you know what I mean.
