- Votes 361
- Parts 11
Confident, self-obsessed, cocky and determined are usually how people described Dream. They certainly never used emotional and George doesn't even think he ever heard him cry over the years of their friendship.
So, hearing Dream cry himself to sleep every night after finally moving to Florida was something he never expected or knew how to deal with. Turns out Dream deals with problems that never made it across the screen.
TW- many depressing and triggering topics throughout the story like SH and family trauma so please be careful <3

Muted
George was a pretty quiet person. No I'm serious he was really quiet. So quiet, in fact, that he hasn't said many words in the past 5 years. Despite George's silence, his friends, Sapnap and Dream, manage to look past it and enjoy his company nonetheless. A few weeks ago the three finally decided it was time to meet up for the first time. "George." Dream suddenly spoke. George raised an eyebrow and hummed in response. "Is there a reason you don't talk? You don't have to tell me.. I was just...curious I guess." Dream softly chuckled. "I don't like my voice." George said under his breath. - This is the longer version of muted I have consent from the author to edit it!
