Dream snuck his way into George's room late at night, George had left for the day and got back home really late so Dream didn't get the chance to go sleep with him. Dream laid down in bed next to George and wrapped himself around his boyfriends torso.

George stirred in his sleep, opening his eyes to see Dream.

"Baby? What's wrong?" He whispered, running his hands through dreams hair and laying his arms around dreams body.

"Nothin.. just missed you." Dream whispered back. He held onto George, tucking his head into his chest.

"How was your day?" George asked in a quiet voice.

"Didn't do much.. slept and edited." Dream said. "I missed you."

"I missed you too honey." George hummed, kissing Dream on the top of the head. Dream smiled and tilted his head up, kissing George on the lips. George let out a quiet laugh, softly kissing back.

"D' You eat today? I know I wasn't around to help." George hummed as the two pulled away from the kiss.

"Sorry.." Dream mumbled instead of answering directly.

"It's okay baby, we'll have a little extra to eat tomorrow then yeah?" George asked, kissing Dream again softly. Dream hesitated before nodding in agreement at George's offer. "Y'know, I was talking to Sapnap earlier, and he wants to go to this party Karl is hosting for new years."

"Mhm.." Dream replied, not sure what George was implying.

"I was thinking we should go, Jimmy should be there, I also think Sam and Punz said they would be there as well." George expanded on the topic quietly.

"I'll go if you want me to. I- I will just need you to pick out something for me to wear." Dream said, closing his eyes.

"I can do that."

——————————

The week passed by quickly, this New Year's party was no longer just going to be a few friends get together. Many more people being invited to come to Karl's home to spend the last few moments of 2023 together.

For some reason, this information was not passed onto the three men living together, and it was already too late to cancel plans as Dream sat on his bed while George picked out a few clothing items for Dream. George tried to push the limits, giving Dream some ripped jeans instead of his normal baggy ones and a t-shirt with an optional hoodie to go along with it. Dream decided he would wear the t-shirt, not giving a second thought to bring the hoodie just in case.

Dream took a minute to decide if it was okay, sitting with the clothing in his hands and taking a few deep breaths. Dream got dressed, finally having George pick out one of his many cat beanies. George gave Dream one last thing, a small blue bracelet, clasped around the blondes frail wrist.

"I know this party is going to be something knew, it's gonna be okay." George hummed, giving Dream a soft kiss. The two men made their way down the stairs, putting on shoes, locking the door and they were on their way. Sapnap driving, George in the passenger seat and Dream in the back.

The drive was only 20 minutes, Dream getting more and more anxious the closer they got to the house. Immediately when they pulled up it became aware that this was more than just a friendly New Year's party.

Dreams breath hitched as he was lead inside by George, holding his hand tightly and shuffling behind him. The house lights were dimmed, people everywhere. The living room was packed, a few people in the kitchen and other people juts scattered around randomly. Dream no longer cared who the people were. Anyone who he was excited to see were no longer in his mind.
