~◇~◇~DREAMS POV~◇~◇~

I squinted my eyes and winced as a cold force was applied onto my forehead. I squeezed my eyes closed again and tried to sit up more, ultimately failing as soon as I moved my arm.

"Oh, Dream? Are you properly awake? C'mon man its been forever." A person said standing infront of me, pushing down harder with the ice pack as I tried to move my head away, which got pulled back with a spare hand. "Right. Where are you hurting most?" I tried to open my mouth to respond and possibly mumble out a few loose words that could maybe answer their question. I felt my dry lips grit across eachother as I tried to open my mouth up as a twanging pain erupted on my jawline, feeling the metalic taste of fresh blood in my mouth.

"Ah, of course, that makes so much sense, Dream. How useful." The person remarked

I opened my eyes again and saw not one, but two people standing infront of me. Sapnap was stood with his hands on his hip, looking me up and down with a grotesque look on his face of disapproval and just a bit behind him, I saw Punz sorting through a small box on a table infront of us.

Looking back at Sapnap with a look that mimicked his, he scowled and crossed his arms, "Look, all the nurses were busy treating some other people. So we were given the lovely task of looking after you instead of beating the other teams at Quidditch. Seriously, why-" Sapnap was cut off by Punz shoving him out of the way with his hip, as he placed a large handful of medical supplies down on the space next to me.

"Sap, will you be quiet? Give the man a break, he just fell off of a stupid broomstick. If you actually want to play that bad instead of looking after your so-called 'brother.' " Punz said as he grabbed a cotton ball and poured some weird smelly liquid onto it and started patting my face with it. "W-whats that supposed to me? What are you trying to say, huh!?" Sapnap shouted at Punz, waving his arms around in the air wildly like one of those blown up things you would see at a petrol station. "What I'm saying is, that you can go off if you want. It's not like your going to be the one looking after Dream anyway." Punz said, applying more liquid onto the cotton ball, dampening my skin as it stung and cleansed me. Sapnaps mouth dropped open and played victim as he stormed over to us and crossed his arms. "Excuse me!? That not what I meant! And ita not my fault I don't know any of the stupid healing stuff!" Sapnap shrieked, "It's all stupid." He muttered and sat down next to me, on a table and watched Punz grab a antibacterial cloth and rub that on my face aswell.

While Punz pampered and looked after me, I examined the area around us, looking seemingly familiar.

We were inside one of the Hufflepuff tents around the Quidditch arena! No wonder it looked so familiar. The layout was the same as ours, except the Hufflepuffs seemed to be more organised.

I was sat on a wooden table where people would normally chill out on or go when they were injured, like I was. Around the tent were small crates and boxes with unknown, probably useless, equipment in them, and a few spare broomsticks laying around. Probably a few that people might've forgotten or spares.

My mind started to wander off to some random things before finding it's way to George.

Of course.

George had been plaguing my mind alot recently and I've been questioning a ton of things.

It seems that George just appeared one day and just flipped my world upside down and messed up all of my confidence and- everything!

My friends have definitely noticed aswell. I'm not participating in class as much and I've not been talking or leading conversations like I used to. Sapnaps been looking after me. Most of the time I push him away and tell him to go hangout out with Karl or something, but then on some days, I just lean into him and let him comfort me.

The most important thing that's been on my mind is probably... my sexuality.

It feels weird talking about it, even though our school is generally pretty supportive of all of that stuff, like transgenders and everything.

But it still feels odd. I've never even really thought about sexualitys and stuff. And it's scary.

It's such a complex thing with so many layers to comprehend. I've been trying to research about it, and I've gotten the basics down, but it's still alot to take in.

I've never really had a significant other before... and I've never really thought about 'romance' but something about George...

I was wondering whether I was gay, but I'm not sure now... maybe..?

Ahh, it's alot. Too much thinking for one day. I need a break.

Punz stuck another plaster onto my jaw and stood back whilst tilting my head gently up and down and side to side to check for any more injuries that were left unseen.

He then placed a hand on my shoulder and patted it softly, "Alright, go to your dorm and get some rest. I'll come to check on you later with some of the gang if they want to come."

I nodded slowly and smiled at him, "Thank you."

He nodded and left the tent, Sapnap looking back at me hesitantly before we heard Punz say, "You coming?" To which Sapnap did one last look and jogged over to the exit of the tent, a soft glow and a hush of winter breeze snaking its way through.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I got back to my dorm, I grabbed my nightwear, soap, and my other items before walking off into the showers.

After my shower, I shut the door quickly and carefully before collapsing onto my bed, the fabric rubbing uncomfortably against my bruises, as I tried to get comfortable with all of my injures being transparent on my body and face.

I grabbed my phone and clicked onto my group chat with all of my friends and told them that I wasn't going to be in for the next few days.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I turned my phone of a slowly lowered myself down into the soft covers of my bed, ruffling down and into them, eating up any piece of warmth I could get.

Once I found a comfy position, I nestled down into the depths of my pillow and closed my eyes. Closing my eyes into a peaceful sleep.
