Tw: fear of the dark (Nyctophobia)

//- Third person -\\

As long as both Dream (and George) could remember; the dark was one of their biggest fears.

Dream was scared of the dark and what could be in it; his anxiety making him believe there was something in it.

George was scared of the dark; just because. He had no particular reason for the fear, it just being a fear he had.

Neither had the heart or courage to tell the other about their fear, instead suffering in silence. That was until George had received his visa, and could move to the uk with Dream.

"Ok bub- I'm gonna go to sleep now. 'm tired.."

I spoke as I got up from where me, George and Patches lay on the couch, as I got up Patches followed close behind. George looked at me and smiled softly, getting up as well.

"Ok. Do you wanna share a room tonight or just want to do separate rooms for a while?"

I hummed, thinking about the different scenarios in my head.

1:
I don't share a room with George and thus can't risk my secret of being scared of the dark and possibly being made fun of.

2:
I say yes and share a room for George and either A) get made fun of and laughed at or B) get supported and have a cuddle buddy other than Patches.

Obviously I chose B. But hoping to god that George wouldn't judge me. I told George and he smiled, nodding gently. I grabbed his hand and began pulling him up the stairs.
As we reached my room, George pulled me back towards him.

"George..?"

My voice was soft and gentle as I could see George's face fall slightly. He sighed, looking at me with such- actually I wasn't entirely sure what the face George was making meant. It was a mix of fear and contentment. I gulped, wondering what was going to happen and what this situation even was.

"Dream- I need to tell you something.."

He paused, blushing lightly as he broke eye contact. He wasn't going to say I love you- we've already said that.

"Im- scared of the dark.. I wasn't going to tell you but then you wanted to share rooms and I just- please don't judge me! I can go into my own room- or I can leave? I'll leave! I'm sorry.."

I watched in confusion as George's voice grew louder and louder as his speech like phrase carried on. I held his shoulders and hugged him, breaking him out of a cycle of rapid nonsense coming out of his mouth.

"George.. it's fine. I'm scared of the dark too.. I wasn't going to tell you cause I thought you would judge me- I was wrong though clearly."

I chuckled as I said the last sentence, waiting for George to do or say something. Eventually his arms wrapped around my waist and hold me tight.
He moved his arms down to just below my hips and pulled me up, causing my legs to involuntarily wrap around his waist.

He carried me into my room and sat on the bed. I was smiling the entire time. He looked at the LEDs that were running along my bedroom wall and caught eye of the remote. He grabbed the remote, turning the LEDs to a dark blue colour.

The night carried on outside as me and George snuggled up to each other and Patches lay near to us.
