George carefully wandered down the path... a little worried as he heard everyone talking up ahead.
"Dream should be there with them.." he awkwardly rubbed his arm.

He wanted to be able to get along with the crew... just so he's not cooped up in dreams room.

But once he got into hearing distance.. he got more scared..

George saw the group laughing... soon trying to make his way over..

Until he heard the conversation.

.: Dream POV :.

Once Dream caught up with his group... he got completely bombarded with the same thing by everyone... and he ended up regretting coming along..

Dream scrunched his nose.. growling as he sat on the log.
"Can you please.. shut up." He growled faintly.
"Oh my god... please..."

"Oh come on..!" Sapnap laughed, nudging Dream.
"We know you like him~" he knew more then most of the crew.
"Just admit it!"

"It's very obvious." Karl softly spoke.. leaning back against the tree.
"Very.. obvious." He chuckled.

"You let him use your stuff." Sam laid on the ground.. glancing up at Dream.
"No one ever uses your stuff.. and you let him stay in your room!" He grinned.
"You always are with him."

Dream let out a frustrated sigh... why can't he be left alone about this...? He's just trying to be nice.

"You must have a huge crush on him." Ponk chuckled softly.. nudging dreams side.
"I never knew prisoners were your type." He teased.

"Oh my god." Dream sat up straight.
"I don't like George! I do not have a crush on him!" He snapped firmly, looking around at the few crew mates that came along.
"So stop fucking saying it! I only talk to him because I don't want him ruining my shit or running off again!"

There was a long silence.. everyone looking at one another... soon having a concerned and saddened look.

"Wow.." Sapnap mumbled..

"What?" Dream noticed the strange looks on there faces.
"What is.... It-" he turned.. seeing George stand there.. holding his hands together.
"Oh fuck- George-"

"Sorry.. I didn't mean to intrude.." George took a step back.. having a hesitant look.
"I just... Dream invited me along.... And I thought" He looked down at the ground.. trying not to seem sad...
"I'll just... I'll leave you all alone- sorry for interrupting.."

Dreams gaze softened as he saw George walk away..
"I-" he softly spoke, soon standing up.

Shit shit... George wasn't supposed to be here- he said he wasn't coming...

"It's fine Dream.. if he runs away we will find him." Sapnap rolled his eyes, shrugging a tad bit.
"Don't worry about it." He looked up at Dream.
"He will be fine."

Dream turned back.
"That's not what concerns me." He soon followed after George.
"Just get camp set up... I need to see if he's okay."

Everyones gazes softened.. watching Dream go after George.. maybe they went too far teasing him....

.: George POV :.

George hugged himself as he stumble through the woods.
"God- it's cold.." he let out a shaky sigh.. taking a deep breath.

He didn't know what Dream meant... did he not like him..? Was he annoying towards Dream...?

George made his way towards a small little lagoon... sitting down next to it.
"I should have just... stayed away.." he let out a soft sigh.
"and keep my distance."
