*No one's pov:*
Dream and George were in Paris at the moment staying at a hotel.
It was time to leave the hotel. The brunet was getting ready to go, but
was interrupted by the blond, "George... I'm afraid I won't be able to
come with you at the event..".
The oldest turned to look at him with a confused expression "what?
Why?", the younger said with an expression full of sadness
"Unfortunately something came up at the last moment, and I seriously
can't back down....I'm sorry".
George seeing the sadness in his eyes said "There's no need to
apologize, it's ok I'll go without you"; Dream then said full of worry "you
sure; what about your anxiety? Will you be able to keep it together?".
The brunet answered, trying sound as reassuring as possible "yes, no
need to worry, now I really have to go I'm gonna be late". "Ok then, I'll
see you later"; the brunet turned to look at him and gave him a sweet
smile before leaving.
*Dream's pov:* (after George left)
In his mind 'George said he'll be okay, though I'm worried, it's not like I
don't trust what he said, I'm just afraid it might end up like last time. I
had to physically drag him all the way to the my car and quickly get to
our hotel. His anxiety was so strong he could barely breath, think
straight nor move his muscles the way he wanted to. I remember how
hard it had been to calm him down, which really pained me!
After that he left the hotel room and went to go get it done with the
sudden emergency.
*George's pov:*
Arrived at my destination[Twitch Rivals] and paid my Uber. I got inside and I was
immediately greeted by Sapnap, Karl and some of the others.
At the beginning everything seemed to be going pretty well, his anxiety
wasn't really bothering him that much, it was quite bearable.
George was able to make it for most of the challenges: his stream; the
building of the little cart for the race.
In the last challenges his anxiety started to grow rapidly, his insecurities
weren't surely helping.
He quickly started to hyperventilate and shake, since he had the chance
he ran to Karl and said with a shaky voice "I-I'm sorry... I really n-need to
l-leave", Karl knew about the brits anxiety problems and didn't question
his choice, and just nodded, to make him understand that he was going
to inform the others.
George ran all the way outside barely able to make it. Even though
there was barely anyone around he didn't seem to be able to calm
down, the thought of so many people watching his every single move
and his insecurities were suffocating him, he just couldn't take it, he
had to get back to his hotel room, he needed to see dream, that would
definitely calm him down.
At first he thought about calling an Uber, but staying in a small space
with a complete stranger was probably going to make it even worse so
he decided to call dream instead, since he was probably already back at
the hotel.
*Dream's pov:*
Right after dream got back at the hotel he received a call from George,
which made him extremely concerned.
He quickly picked the call up and heard George say "D-Dream...", this
made the blond even more worried "George is everything alright? Do
you need anything?" The brunet slowly answered "Y-yeah, could y-you
come pick-k me up, p-please?.."
The younger immediately answered "sure, I'll be there in no time."
Dream didn't ask anything else, he knew how hard it was for George to
speak at the moment.
*10 minutes later*
The blond got there as soon as possible, and when he was the state the
brunet was in his heart broke: he had glossy eyes, he was hyperventilating and shaking.
He got off the car and helped him get in it.
*George's pov:*
When they got to the hotel George felt to weak to walk almost falling
over when trying to stand up, his anxiety was playing horrible tricks.
The brunet looked up at dream who said full of concern "do you want
me to pick you up?", the brunet just simply nodded.
He felt dream's strong arms snake under him and lift him up. The older
relaxed in his arms.
*Dream's pov:*
He got to his and George's room, he then gently placed the smaller down
on the bed, who then sat up straight.
Dream sat beside him on the bed and looked at him in his eyes, the
brunet wasn't even able to maintain eye contact not even with dream,
this made the blond worry even more about George's state.
He quickly embraced the brunet in a tight hug.
Dream started to whisper to him sweet nothings to the other who
started to calm down a bit, though he could still hear him sobbing.
The blond made him lie down with him, spooning him, holding him
tight to reassure him that everything was alright.
The older slowly started to calm down, and soon the younger started
to hear soft snores coming from brunet in his arms.
Dream soon fell asleep too, hoping that George will feel better the next
day.
