There is Beauty in Chaos [ dnf ]

____________________________________________

 Just before George left work yesterday Karl ended up just giving him the pills so he was able to work today. And that's what he did. He took both the heat suppressing pills along with the scent masking ones. This time George decided to take the bus. So he got to work just in time. 

He walks into the lobby to find Karl cleaning the counter. The boy immediately lit up when he saw the other. "George!", he exclaims as he finished wiping down the counter. 

"Hey Karl" 

"How you feeling?" 

"Alright thanks to you" 

Karl smiles as he walked to the other side of the counter to put the cleaning supplies away. 

"Um Karl" 

"Yeah?", Karl leans against the counter as he rested his chin on his hand while George took a seat on one of the barstools. 

"Well you know what happened yesterday" 

"What about it?" 

"Um when I got home I was taking everything out of my pockets and..I found money with a note" 

Karl hummed as he listened. 

"The note said 'Were you always this sassy with people?'. The note was from Dream" 

"Say 'Yes I'm always this sassy'", Karl giggled. 

"Shut up" 

"How much did he give you?" 

"3..hundred dollars.." 

"300!?" 

"Shh! People are gonna hear" 

"That's insane! What did you even do?" 

"Nothing! All I did was give him his drink. I guess he somehow put the money in my pocket when I wasn't paying attention" 

"He totally has something for youu" 

"What ew no" 

"I mean think about it George. Who just gives 300 dollars to someone?" 

"Him apparently" 

"Think what you want but I say you got yourself a little admirer" 

George scoffs as he rolled his eyes. 

Yeah right. 

He's just doing it to piss me off. 

He then hops off the stool and goes to wait tables. 

—

As soon as George served the last person he had, he walks over to where Karl was. 

"It's my time to go, I'll see you tomorrow Karl!" 

"See you!" 

Relieved on finally going home, George makes his way for the door. But before he did, it opened.  Immediately regretting not going to the back door. 

It was Dream. 

Oh come on! 

The blond looks around but once his eyes fell upon the brunette he smiles and began to walk over to him. George growled as Dream approached him. 

"Do you have anything better to do?", George snaps. 

"A hello would have been nice" 

"I don't need to say hello to you" 

"You shouldn't be treating someone who gave you money for free may I add, like this" 

"Well I didn't even ask for it. Why did you give it to me anyway?" 

"Why not. If I'm gonna have money, might as well spend it" 

"Whatever. Listen it's the end of my shift so I have to go" 

"Go do what? Be in bed all day" 

"Yeah actually. I loved to stay and chat but I have to go", George then turns around and begins to walk away. 

"I don't remember you being this distant"  

It's crazy how a sentence was able to stop George in his tracks just like that. 

"W-What did you say?", He mutters as he turns to face the blond. 

"I said 'I don't remember you being this distant'" 

It felt like everything had gone dead quiet. To the point you might hear a pin drop to the floor. 

"W-Why are you bring that up?" 

"I mean we used to literally hang out everyday and be on 10 hour calls with each other all the time but now you're acting like you don't even know me" 

"Because I don't Dream" 

"Yes you do George" 

"Dream..that was a decade ago. A lot can happen in 10 years" 

"At least stop pretending like I'm some random stranger to you. Look if you're still upset about-" 

"P-Please don't finish that" 

"George, tjust know I'm deeply sorry. You don't understand how much I want to go back in time and change the outcome of it"

"Just stop okay. I pushed that all behind me..including you.." 

George watched as Dream's eyes widen to his words. 

"George.." 

"I said stop. I don't want you in my life anymore Clay.." 

Now it was Dream's turn to freeze up. George hadn't realized he was crying once he found out he couldn't breathe properly. So he took it as a sign he needed to leave quickly. So he does, leaving Dream standing there. Dumbfounded.

When George walked out the building, he sits down on the door step and just sobs. He was in the alleyway right next to the bar so no one was able to see him. 

Why do I have to be so sensitive during these times. 

It's so dumb. 

After a few moments he finally calmed down. He stands up while rubbing the left over tears away. Then George realizes the smell in the air. His scent had came back, his omega scent. 

Ugh stupid scent. 

George reaches for his pockets and takes out his scent masking pills. Right when he was about to take them he hears a noise. George looks down into the pitch black alley. "Hello?", He calls out as he stepped toward the noise. (Yes George is very dumb dumb I know 🙄😭) 

"Is someone there?", he calls out again but gets nothing in return. He then turns around and tilts his head back to take the pills but suddenly something goes over his mouth. 

"Mhhh!", George screams. He tries to kick the person away but they were strong. They had one arm wrapped around his body while the other held his mouth. 

And before George could do anything else, he passes out.
