Yellow ☆A dnf book☆

☆George tried putting up LED lights (it was a bad idea from the start)☆

TW: breakdown, parental problems (if that makes sense), suicidal hints.

The world froze. It was the first time he had ever seen George cry. Sure, he had heard him drop tears over a call, but up close and personal, a flood of tears, never. Dream hated seeing George like this. He ran over to George and swooped him up in a bear hug. He didn't know what else to do. George cried lakes and swamps full of tears that night. Dream just held him. Neither of them talked.

It had been an hour since the world froze, and Dream had a fighting urge inside of him.

"Hey gogy?" Dream whispered.

"Y-yeah."

"Do you want to talk?"

At this point, the two were sitting on the floor in the living room, George draped across Dream. Dream had to fight his feelings of lust right now, but it was all he could think about. He noticed how George's nose swooped up towards the end. Not enough to really notice, but for dream it was easy to notice anything about George.

"I...my...Dream I-I" George stuttered starting to sniffle once again.

"Georgie. Take your time. I'll be here forever."

"Forever?" George looked up at Dream. Dream's eyes began to water too. George's eyes were swollen shut and red from crying for so long. He felt George's pain .It was a knife being stabbed into his stomach seeing George like that.

"Of course George. I love you."

Dream didn't care about saying it this time. He didn't care if George found out Dream was in love with him. He didn't care if George never liked him back. He just wanted George to be happy. George looked up at him and pulled him closer.

"Thank you Clay." George whispered softly.

They didn't even touch the pizza they ordered. Neither of them had an appetite. At around 10pm, Dream got a text from Sapnap.

"Hey man! I was actually wondering if it would be alright for me to just stay at my friends house for tonight :)"

"Of course Sapnap. Might be for the best. Something is going on with George."

"Oh no! What happened?"

"Trying to get it out of him right now :/ Talk tomorrow?"

"Keep me updated. Good night :)"

Dream set his phone down and looked over at George. He had fallen asleep on his lap. He wanted to let George sleep, but he had to find out what happened. He couldn't take seeing George like this anymore. He lightly shook George awake.

"Hey Georgie. Can we talk now?" Dream said softly, trying to keep George calm.

"Ok." George replied making eye contact with Dream.

A deep sigh camp from George's lips. "My parents found out I moved. They said they saw it on the internet. They said that they never wanted to see me again. T-they said if they ever did, they would disown me." George's eyes became watery again and he looked down.

Dream once again embraced him in a hug. "George. I'm here ok? I'll always be here, just like I said. It's alright. You're with me now."

"Dream. Can we maybe go out those LED lights up in my room after I take a shower? I need to get my mind off things." George looked up with a weak smile.

"Of course Georgie. I'll get you some clothes and a towel. Take your time." Dream flashed him a smile.

Dream helped George up and they both went upstairs. Dream decided to give George a pair of black sweatpants and a pink t-shirt. He chose the ones that were getting too small since he knew George was much smaller than him. He couldn't help but let his mind go on a tangent when George was in the shower. You would think Dream would think happy thoughts, but he didn't. He was in a dark hole, that no one knew about. He tried to get out, but it was no use. George was keeping him here. If only he knew that.

————————————————————————

Once George got out of the shower, the two went into George's room. Dream asked for George's phone so he could make sure that he wouldn't be affected by his parents. George was starting to look better, but he still looked absolutely miserable. Dream couldn't imagine going through that. Of course he had his own problems, but George's were different. He had a good relationship with his parents. Sure, he didn't call them everyday, but they were still close. He only felt sorrow for George that night.

"You ready! I thought it was awesome you wanted LED lights. I've always thought they were cool." Dream said as he looked towards George, still teary eyed.

"Yeah. I was never allowed to have anything like this, so I'm excited." George said weakly. Dream understood. He had had one of the worst days. He couldn't imagine.

As the two put up the lights, they laughed, sang along to songs, danced, and told funny stories. It was mostly Dream putting up the lights though, because he was, as George put it, a giant. Was he wrong though?

Once they got to the end of the strip, George wanted to put some up. He had been fiddling with the remote for a while and easily go bored without his phone. Dream just shook his head and laughed.

"You think you can reach?" He let out with a tea kettle laugh.

"Shut up! Just get me a ladder Mr. Tea kettle." George chuckled. It was the first time he had shown any sign of happiness since the text he got. It made Dream's heart glow.

Just a few minutes later, Dream was in the room with a small, foldable ladder. It wasn't the sturdiest thing, but it would do the job. George wasn't too heavy anyways. George made his way up the ladder and started to put up the lights. Dream was actually pretty proud of him. George seemed to be proud of himself too.

Dream was heading over to the instruction manual, just to make sure they did it right, when he heard George call out his name in a high-pitched voice. Dream whipped his head around just in time to see the ladder collapsing from beneath George. He sprinted across the room as if it was a race. He held out his arms in a last-second manor, trying to somehow grasp ahold of George.

George landed softly in Dream's arms. Dream's heart was beating even faster than it ever had before. George's piercing eyes came back to Dream. They haunted him, but they were also so beautiful. It was like they were in a movie. Neither of them moved. They were frozen, Just as the world had been frozen for Dream earlier. After what seemed like an eternity, Dream and George both unlocked their arms from each other, still staring intently.

"D-dream." George muttered, still staring into Dream's deep eyes.

"Woah." Dream let out a sigh.

That night, they both slept peacefully, side by side on George's bed. George had asked him to after the rough night they had. Dream didn't even think twice before saying yes. Neither of them knew how they thought of each other romantically, but they would later find out.
