Dream opened his eyes slowly, taking in the world around him. It was dark outside. George was fast asleep next to him. Dream sat up and slowly made his way out of the bed. He tried his best to make sure George wouldn't wake up.

George rolled over slightly in his sleep, groaning softly. Dream froze for a second, seeing him move. Once he settled back into sleep, Dream pulled the blankets back over George's body.

Dream walked very quickly over to the bathroom,

"Dream?" George muttered.

"Yes?" Dream was about half way done closing the door when George spoke to him.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm just going to the bathroom."

"Alright.." George closed his eyes again and settled back down.

Dream sighed and closed the door, flicking on the light and locking the door. He opened the bottom cupboard and grabbed the small blade from under the sink.

As Dream stood back up, his brain began to blur as his vision went black. He fell backwards and hit his head down on the ground.

Groaning, he sat up and rubbed the back of his head. A knock was placed softly on the door.

"You okay in there?"

"Yeah I'm fine!" Dream shouted quickly to George.

George didn't say anything, he sat down in-front of the door and listened. Dream rolled his sleeve up and pressed the blade into his skin. He hissed in pain as he slid it across, he could feel the way his skin pushed back against the blades sharp edge for a split moment before it pushed past.

"Dream, I'm coming in." George said.

"No- no it's fine." Dream frantically shouted. George stood up and tried the door handle, finding the door to be locked.

"Open the door dream."

"No." Dream had tears welling up in his eyes as he continued to cut down his wrist. He avoided any recent cuts, cutting between them in areas that weren't as scarred yet.

"Dream.. please.. open the door?"

"..No-" dreams voice shook as he spoke to the man on the other side of the door.

"Either You let me help you or I'm going to go get Sapnap." George said, shaking the door handle.

Dream paused for a moment and turned the lock on the door. George pushed the door open and grabbed Dream, hugging him tightly. Dreams face was forced into George's chest.

"Shh.." George said, rubbing dreams back slowly. Dream did his best to place the blade down on the counter so that he wouldn't hurt George.

"Sorry."

"Shhh.. it's okay, baby."

George released his hold on Dream. He whipped the tears from Dreams face and grabbed onto his hand.

"Stay here I'm going to get some bandaids." George said, kissing Dream on the cheek. He took the blade from the counter and slipped it into his pocket before leaving Dream.

Dream sat down on the floor crying into his hands.

He felt as though he had failed the other. He didn't want to do it, he never did, but it was the addiction.

George came back within a minute or two. He sat down on the floor and pulled Dream into his lap. He wrapped his arms around Dream and started wrapping his wrist with the stretchy cotton bandages.
