tw// swearing and a quick mention of blood

Dream watched the black haired man freeze. His mouth agape as he dropped a terrified George. Tears welled in both of their eyes as they continued to stare at each other.

"Cl-clay, you're alive?" Nick said surprised as he dropped his weapons and stepped closer to dream. Dream didn't hesitate to run at his childhood friend and wrap him in a hug you would give your grandma after not seeing her all year. Squeezing each other tight, not wanting to lose eachother again. Dream kept his cries quiet but Nick balled his eyes out, wiping them on Dreams shoulder.

"how the fuck are you alive? This doesn't make any sense." Dream said shakily, squeezing Nick again.

"I ran, I don't know how they didn't catch up to me but I ran as fast as I could. I saw them running after you and I tried to stop them but I lost sight of them and I thought you died." dream hiccuped as he tried to find the words to respond to him.

He felt dizzy and needed to sit down, but he was comfortable hugging Nick. His mind wandered to the day him and Nick got attacked. Three tall men with many deadly weapons chased them through the forest. They were Yelling commands to each other. Nick had tripped and told Dream to run and forget him. Dream couldn't do that to his best friend and so he tried helping him up but the three men came. They were terrifying. He remembers almost stopping and letting them catch him because of how scared he was. I'm never going to escape, there's no hope. But Nick yelled and screamed at him to run, so he did. He doesn't remember anything later than that, it was too traumatic for much of the memory to stay.

Ugh, why does my head hurt so much? Dream gently rubbed his head as he opened his eyes. Did I pass out? He saw the fearful expressions of George and Sapnap, staring at him. When George realised he woke up, he put a hand on his shoulder.

"Are you ok Dream? You just kinda, passed out and hit your head on the ground." George's voice wavered, as if he were thinking of something much worse. Dream didn't have much energy left. He simply laid his head on George's shoulder, falling asleep once again.

Get up. They probably think you're useless and weak. You're disgusting how could you portray yourself like this? You're showing weakness and now you're going to get everyone killed. Good job. Dream wanted to cry, even though he was unconscious. All he heard was the voice echoing around him. Stop let me be. I trust Nick, even if George ends up being a dick Nick is here now. I don't need to worry anymore. He tried to convince himself and the voice in his head that everything would be alright. You're pathetic. He doesn't even want to be with you anyways. You're showing weakness and he's pitying you.

"Dream, are you having a nightmare or something?" Nick's concerned voice broke through Dream's thoughts. He sat upright quickly, breath quickening. He looked around him to see that he was in the cave and not outside. George was asleep beside him, wearing the blue hoodie he got and resting on his new pillow. It was night time now. I must've passed out for a very long time. He was wide awake by Now, only accompanied by a drowsy Sapnap.

"I'm fine don't worry about me." Dream said dismissively. He stretched his sore limbs and looked at his friend. He was now asleep. Dream sighed to himself and brought his knees up to his chest. He wanted to cry, to run away and never see another person again. I can't do that now, not now that Nick is here. Dream shifted his focus to the moving leaves outside the cave entrance. The cold night breeze dancing with the trees. It was soothing in a way.

Dream shivered as a gust of wind blew through the stone walls. This is going to be a long, long night. Dream sighed and looked at sapnap to his right. His black hair covering his eyes and his mouth open, drool leaking through the entrance. His worries seemed to pause while he looked at his friend. He thought of when they would play outside as children. He thought of when he gave him the charm. He continued to reminisce about old times with his best friend before he heard something move around next to him. George looked at him with half lidded eyes and a grin. It made Dream's face heat up and he cursed to himself before he focused on George talking.
