dnf but depressed.

[dreamwastaken x georgenotfound, road trip au, high school au, completed] Dream is running from his problems. You would be too if you were in his situation. Unfortunately, the only person available to help give him a ride is a childhood friend he hasn't spoken to since middle school. George is running from his memories. And his problems. And his old life. And his feelings. And he "borrowed" a car and he has a lot of spare time so when his old pal needs a ride across the country, he's happy to offer. The problem is, there are a few problems. One: Four years can definitely change a lot about a person, much less two people. Two: You can only suppress emotions for so long before they resurface. Three: Being runaways means you are running from someone. alt: two gays stuck in a car together with their suppressed emotions and childhood memories. what could go wrong?

"You see the good in everything, George. That's why I like it when you look at me." From a young age, Dream has come to realize that love is complicated. Love is a terrifying thing, out to rip your flesh from your bones and pluck your heartstrings out. So when love finds him in Florida, in the shape of a meet-up with close friends, he's put into a dangerous situation: will he risk it all for a short brunet by the name of George, or turn back to running away?

Dream learns three things when a man falls out of the sky and lands in front of him: 1. Normalcy is relative. 2. Guardian angels exist, and he has one named George. 3. He really needs to come up with better pick-up lines.

Quarantine hit just as George flew into Jacksonville, Florida for a business trip. Usually, he and Clay met up once or twice to hang out before ultimately resuming their own lives. This time, though, George's hotel shuts down and his return flight gets cancelled in the midst of the pandemic. Thankfully, his best friend offers him a place to stay until everything blows over... but how long will it be until that happens? And what may the two be up to while the world around them is in disarray?
