Hybrid || DreamNotFound

Body Language

George POV

I stick the paper onto the glass next to the door so others are notified, so it's pretty much official. Because I won't be with Dream the entire day, I can't warn everyone who was maybe planning on doing something to him. It's those safety precautions that I'm glad exist here with the writing a break thing. The scientists know better when to give a break to the hybrids than the actual owners of this laboratory. They don't work with them as much as we do, so it's only fair to trust us.

Now that this is done with, I can enter the cell in peace.

I see no movement nor response from Dream when I do so enter. Not even a twitch of his ear. It's like as if he was in a deep sleep.

"Dream? I have good news for you. Well, partly good.."

I walk up to him and sit down behind his head with my legs crossed.

I was wondering why he still hasn't changed back. And he's really lacking movement which is so not him.

I don't even know if he was awake or bothers listening to me, but it won't hurt telling him anyways. "So... I was with Quackity and did manage to write you a break, but he only allowed you for this whole day which sucks. But, better than nothing, am I right?" I put my hand on his shoulder and caress it.

"And.. also.. Quackity was dumb enough to tell me that he was the one who freed the hybrid. And the hybrid's name is Technoblade?"

I watch Dream's face the whole time as I spoke, and only now he opened and widened his eyes. Without moving his head, he gave me a terrified look.

"Uhm, do you know his name?"

Dream looked away and closed his eyes again, squinting them tightly as he put his right hand over his eyes.

I feel bad for him. I'm assuming he does know him if the name made him react like this.

"But, no need to worry about him. He's locked up again. You're safe from him, I can assure you that. Next time he'll come across us, I'll shoot him dead. I won't let Quackity get away with it again. Will that make you feel better? Well, it will for sure make me feel better.."

I exhale and turn myself around to sit against Dream's shoulders, still being careful not to get in contact with his branding. I pull my legs to my chest a little and throw my head back, resting it on him.

"So much has been happening in just a short period of time, like a week, and look how far we've come. It's quite impressive that we still live. You can be proud of yourself, Dream. Being able to endure so much of this all really shows how strong a hybrid such as you can be."

As my thoughts go all over the place, I'm reminded of a thing I promised ages ago.

"Uhmm... alsooo... I'm embarrassed to say this, but our plan... you know. I haven't thought of anything yet. The majority I had on my mind was just how to keep you alive, including me too perhaps. Quackity is in my way quite literally every day. It's as if he knew that we plan something, he purposefully harms you so you can't get anywhere. It feels like it's always bad timing. This can't continue anymore, it doesn't only mentally scar you, but me as well. But I have to admit that I'm not entirely ready to get out to the world again either way. You have to understand that I haven't seen literal sunlight in four years. Also explains my paleness." I weakly laugh.

"But that isn't the reason.. To be honest I have no idea where to go once I'm free. But then I also doubt that I'll leave with you. There's no place I can stay at. No money, no phone, family being too far.. It's pointless. I mean, I will leave this place at some point. This will come to an end one day, but then I have a team with me. If I leave now, I have nobody. You can't help me with my survival either, how do I feed myself?" I let out an exhausted sigh. I cover my face with my hands.
