TW/ CW: Mentions of past manipulation

Manipulation: the exercise of harmful influence over others. People who manipulate others attack their mental and emotional sides to get what they want

//- Third Person -\\

Bad relationships.

Sadly a thing that still occurs in life.

Some are worse than others.
An example of this is a past relationship of George's.

A couple of years back (maybe when he was 23 (so 4 years ago)) George was dating someone called Jayson. And Jayson was extremely manipulative. The relationship didn't last that long, maybe five or six months, but during the time that George was with Jayson, he was manipulated a bunch.
Jayson would say things like:
"You're too sensitive"
"I was just joking"
"If you really loved me, you would..."
"No one else will ever love you like I do"
"You're always overreacting"
"You're imagining things"
"You owe me"
"Everyone agrees with me"

And it was a lot for George. Being on the receiving end of the manipulation, George began to feel disoriented, and frequently questioned his reality. It also led him to doubt his ability to trust himself or others, leading to trust issues.

But after months of fighting (figuratively not literally) George was finally able to get away from Jayson. He kind of blamed himself though, for not being able to get away from him sooner, but neither of his friends (and now boyfriends) could support him. Because he didn't want them knowing. He thought it made him weak.

And then when Dream, Sapnap and George got together; George got really self conscious. They had gotten together about a week before George moved to Florida, but this only made George more nervous.
But now the three had been living together for four months (pretend pls) and nothing had gone wrong. They were all extremely happy and close. And their relationship was completely healthy. There was no judging, blaming, manipulation and rarely ever any arguments.

It made George feel amazing.
It made George feel actually loved for the first time in 4 years. Even though none of them had said 'I love you' yet, the message was very clear.

//- George -\\

Me, Dream and Sapnap were all sitting on the couch. We were watching a film, but it had literally just ended. I was pretty tired, so I decided to just go up to my room, because I can not sleep on couches for the life of me. It's just too uncomfortable. And makes my back ache.

"I think I'm going to go upstairs now.. if that's ok! Sorry I'm just tired-" - I rambled, feeling a large and muscular hand on my thigh I paused.

"You don't need to ask to go upstairs. Sleep well yeah?" - Dream spoke softly, smiling at me.

I nodded, lightly smiling back as I felt a red blush creep on to my face. I got up, waving as I walked away from the couch and towards the stairs.

"Good night Georgie!" - S

"Night George. We love you." - D

What- did Dream say..? I was so shocked I stopped In my tracks.
I get tears prick at my eyes as my lip quivered, fighting back falling to the floor. Memories flooded through. Of Jayson, forcing me to say it. Forcing me to do things with him or for him just because he had said 'I love you' and I hated it. I still try my hardest to push those memories away from me, but that caused them to flood back in.

"George? Are you ok..?" - Dream spoke softly, his voice sounding like it was closer than before.

I could hear the worry in his voice, and then a hand slither into my grasp and turn my whole body around.

"I'm sorry- are you not ready for that..? Just tell us and we'll stop." - Dream continued to speak softly, and voice both his and Sapnap's opinions.

Sapnap was now standing next to Dream, looking at me with completely pure love, but also worry. I shook my head, trying to shake the memories of that time. Before an idea popped into my head.

I'd never recover from Jayson, if I didn't put myself in the right place.

"No.. don't stop. I like it.. it's just-" - I paused, my voice breaking as I felt Dream pull me into a hug.

Dreams hugs were always my favourite.. maybe it's because Dream is taller than me and Sapnap, but it always felt more comfortable and safe when Dream hugged me. I felt protected. Like nothing could hurt me.
Then I felt my body being lifted up, and moved. Dream was carrying me to the couch, setting me down on his lap as Sapnap sat next to him. Both of them looked at me with such love and affection, and I loved it.

"What's up hon..? Talk to us. We didn't overstep a boundary did we?" - Dream spoke softly as he rubbed his hands against my hips.

"No you didn't.. I just- no one's ever told me they love me before.. w-well at least not meaningfully.. I guess." - I muttered, trying to regain my composure.

"Oh love.. what do you mean..?" - Sapnap retorted, looking at me with his puppy dog eyes.

So I explained. Even though It was difficult, and painful, I explained most of it. Somethings I left out, because it was my choice.
And the whole time, Dream and Sapnap sat and listened. They didn't interrupt me, they just sat and listened. Which was what made them such good boyfriends.
It didn't take long to explain, since it was pretty simple.

"And that's it I guess.. sorry if it doesn't make sense." - I whispered, desperately wanting to hide my face in Dreams shoulder but refraining.

"Oh hon.. I'm so sorry.. you don't deserve that. I love you so much.." - Dream whispered, pressing a soft kiss against my forehead.

"And that Jayson dude sounds like a real dick. I'll beat him up if I see him.
And I love you as well." - Sapnap spoke, making me laugh a little.

Then Dream picked me up once more, carrying me upstairs and into my room. All three of us lay in my bed, me in the middle and Sapnap and Dream lay on either side of my body.
And all night long (well until I fell asleep (and probably longer)), Sapnap and Dream pressed kisses all over my head, face and neck whilst whispering 'I love you's down my ears.

It made me feel so loved. And so protected.

That night I knew, that I had found the ones for me..

And only me.
