Dream hadn't gotten any sleep, even though right before leaving, George made sure to tell him to sleep again. He knew it wasn't worth trying. Though, once George came back home, Dream went quiet, not wanting his friend to get mad at him for not listening. Dream thought he heard another voice that George may have been speaking to, but thought it was probably a business call.
A bit later, Dream heard a small sound as he was leaving his room to go to the restroom. He went up to George's door, thinking maybe he had gotten injured. Since they were housemates, they never really knocked on each other's doors, so Dream just opened the door. Upon opening, though, he saw one of his other best friends making out with George. Based on how his friend was reacting, Dream could only predict that this wasn't just some stupid kiss. That they really liked each other.
Everything felt like it was moving in slow-mow.
It suddenly sped up.
"Oh my god, Dream?!" Dream could hardly hear George's voice, so emotionally twisted up from the scene in front of his eyes. Dream felt like an arrow went straight through him, everything sped up even more. His heart was an orchestra's drum.
Dream slammed the door shut, panting heavily and trying to gather himself. His eyes were wide, as if he had just experienced death.
"Oh god, Sapnap, do you think he saw?"
Dream couldn't hear them anymore. He ran to the bathroom, and threw up his guts. He was sobbing. He felt like he had been cheated on. Why did he feel so possessive over someone that wasn't even his...? He couldn't help but think to himself that George and Sapnap had just continued what they were doing after Dream left.
He threw up even more.
He could only imagine them continuing those horrible things...
He felt like he was going to pass out, but he kept himself from falling into the black.

George was on his way home from the office when he had gotten a call from Sapnap. Him and Sapnap has been becoming closer recently. He hated to admit it, but, George was really only doing this because he knew if he held onto his silly crush of Dream forever that he'd always be lonely. So why not start now, with whoever you can? They had been going to many movies together, and just spending a lot of time together. They had cuddled and came very close to kissing, but Sapnap usually backed out.
"George? Do you think you could pick me up? My dad and I got into a-"
George didn't even need to hear the rest. "Another fight. Okay, I'll be there soon, alright? Stay safe for me. I don't want you being clumsy like always before I pick you up and getting those bruises."
George had gotten there pretty quickly, considering it was just a small beach town. Sapnap hopped into the car and George smiled at him, sending him a joking wink. "Are you okay? You didn't get any more bruises, yeah?" Sapnap nodded, staring at George a bit and letting his face become a slight red.
Once home, they headed quickly up to George's room, assuming Dream was still asleep. They had previously been cuddling and watching a movie, but George had moved closer and closer and... it had escalated.
Sapnap was softly kissing George. It was one of his first real kisses, and it was obvious by how embarrassed he was. He was leaning over George, cupping his face with his hands. Sapnap was clearly drunk on pleasure, especially having not experienced this before. Things were getting more passionate, but...

"Dream?!"
Sapnap speedily pulled away from George, terrified. The door was pulled shut immediately after Dream had assessed the situation.
"Oh shit." Sapnap muttered.
"Do you think he saw?" George anxiously questioned.
"Of course he saw!" Sapnap replied more aggressively then he meant to, "but it doesn't matter. It's whatever. Here, lay back down the way I had you-"
"Sorry Sap... I really can't, at least not right now... I... maybe you should go home."
Sapnap's heart dropped. He nodded, and George drove him back home.
When George got back home, he decided it was for the best that he check in on Dream.
•Dream•
Dream heard a soft knock at the bathroom door, so he wiped his tears and throw-up left around his mouth, "Yes?"
"Um.. Dream, I just wanted to make sure you're okay?" Of course it was George's voice.
Dream let out a fake chuckle, "Of course I'm fine, why wouldn't I be? I'm just brushing my teeth again, I'll be out soon."
An underlying tone of questioning laced George's response, "But didn't you see what had happened when you opened my door?"
Dream hated this faking he did everyday. Fake happy. "Huh? I didn't see anything when I opened the door. I was gonna ask you something, but realized that you were probably busy with the papers you picked up, so I left."
Lies.
"Oh... ok. Well, tell me if you need anything?"
"Of course!" Of course he wouldn't. He needed so much right now. A hug. Affection. Someone to vent to. Someone finally loving him back. Someone telling him that what he just saw was only a dream. Maybe some tissues would be nice too.
"Oh, hey George. I'll be a bit busy for a while... try not to bother me. I have important work..."
Lying was second nature.
//Thanks so much for reading! Sorry that I'm still not the best, and sorry for involving Sapnap :(. Much love! ~Jay
