Chapter 4 - Beauty

tw// swearing, anxiety, if i missed anything let me know 

Dream had never Felt, whatever it was he was feeling, before. His hands shook, his stomach felt long gone, his head hurt. What is happening? Where did he go? Did he leave? Did something bad happen to him?

"Clay stop worrying, he's probably out on a walk." Nick said as he shrugged and went to sit on his makeshift bed. Dream felt sick. His nerves were getting the best of him. It took him 3 days to leave me, are you kidding? Am I that unbearable? He said he cared about me. He said I was the best thing to happen to him. Why did he leave? Did that person get him? Did he go for a walk? Did he-

"Clay, what did I say? I know you're over thinking. If he doesn't come back, he left on purpose." Nick said in an annoyed tone. Dream was trembling. He didn't want to show his nervousness, but he couldn't keep it in any longer. I need to find him. Even if nothing bad happened, I need to know where he is. And with that thought, he walked over to Nick, grabbed his sword that sat on the ground next to him, and ran.

He ran out of the cave, not really knowing where he'd go. I need to find him. I don't care if I get lost, as long as I find him. He didn't know where his feet were taking him until he found a river. He decided to follow it down stream for a bit, hoping something will show signs of George being alive.

"Dream?" dream froze and felt like he would cry from the amount of relief he felt. He turned around quickly and saw the confused face of a cute boy named George. Tears spilled out of Dream's face, he didn't care what George thought, he was alive. He immediately threw his arms around the shooter's shoulders and hugged him tight.

"I-I thought you died. Or got kidnapped. I thought that guy from earlier was going to kill you." George flinched sudden movement but quickly wrapped his arms around dream's waist and rested his head on his chest. Dream sniffled and rested his chin on George's head, tightening his grip around George.

"I did see something, it might've been that guy but I brought my sword so I would've been fine." George said as he pressed impossibly closer to dream. Dream moved his right hand to stroke George's hair, reveling in the way it moved between his fingers. He's here, he's alright. He sniffled before he spoke.

"I'm sorry for overreacting, it's because that guy is still probably somewhere. I thought he had killed you..." he whispered the last part, his voice not strong enough to speak properly. George began rubbing circles on dream's back. His small hands moved folds in the green hoodie. Dream felt his cheeks heat up and he shut his eyes tightly to rid his eyes of tears. He swears he felt the tears evaporate upon contact with his burning cheeks.

"We should go back, make sure Sapnap isn't dead." George said as he started to pull away, but dream stopped him. He squeezed him harder to keep him in place. I can't do this when sapnap is there, he gets jealous. He'd definitely have a fit. George stuttered a bit before he got comfortable again in Dream's protective hold. His grip tightened when he heard footsteps. He held George's head to keep him from looking in case there was something bad. He stroked his soft brown hair to comfort both of them. I'll protect you. He won't hurt you again.

As if it were on cue, someone came into view. Dream looked over and first he saw a blade. Then he saw a gloved hand and then a black cloak. That bastard. The other masked man was back.

"Just go away, there is no point in killing him!" dream growled, still holding George. He felt George begin to shake and become weak so he whispered some comforting words into the shorter's ear. He calmed a little but he was still shaking.
