Kidnapped

Chapter 89: Cuddles?

Dream POV

I managed to convince George to finish the rest of his toast as I washed our plates.

"Come on, let's go join the others"

"Why don't we just stay here for a bit" he asks.

"There's nothing to do in the kitchen George" I say as I go to help him off the counter.

"No-no wait-I uh" he stutters.

"What?" I ask, getting no response from him.

"George come on" I pull him off the counter, feeling him grip hold of my arms tighter.

"Dream!" I watch his legs start to tremble and I can't help but laugh.

"It's not funny, help me" he smiles.

I crouch down enough to let him climb on my back, gripping his legs and hoisting him up as I stand.

"What the fuck are you guys doing?" Sapnap laughs from the living room as we walk in.

I crouch back down and gently put George on our mattress.

"George is being lazy" I say as I sit down.

"No surprise there" Quackity laughs.

"I just want to sleep" he pulls his hood down further.

"Then go to sleep" I faintly smile at him.

"Cuddles?" He asks, barely audible even for me.

I half lay down on the mattress, allowing him space to lay with me.

He looked at me hesitantly before moving himself closer.

I don't give him time to overthink before I wrap my arms around him, his head resting on my chest.

"Aww look at them" Bad smiles, bringing everyone's else's attention over to us.

"George don't feel great, let him sleep"

"That is kinda cute though" Karl adds, putting his controller down.

"I want cuddles too" he asks Sapnap who opens his arms, not letting go of the controller.

Karl immediately sits between his legs to watch him play, Sapnap putting his arms around him, resting them on his shoulders.

"Do you not get jealous?" Skeppy asks Quackity who shakes his head.

"No, we all get equal love and right now I just want to kill Sapnap" He laughs.

"Not if I kill you first" Sapnap challenges and I look down to George.

He was sound asleep as I subconsciously rubbed circles into his back.

His body was half on top of mine, his face buried into my chest facing away from the group.

I pull the blanket over him, contently watching the others mess around on Minecraft.

Karl POV

I wake up to the sound of a crash, sitting up from Sapnap's and Quackity's arms to look around.

It was pitch black so I couldn't see anything, I feel about for my phone and use it for light, putting the torch on.

I stand up and carefully make my way out of the living room, moving the phone torch around until I see George on the phone in the kitchen.

His eyes meet mine and he puts a finger to his lips, signalling me to be quiet.

I leave my torch on and quietly take a seat next to him.

"No- no that's not what I asked"

I try my best to hear the person on the other end but I couldn't, instead trying to fill the blanks myself.

"So what? Is the case being reopened?"

"They have enough evidence Schlatt, what do you mean?"

Schlatt? Isn't he in jail?

"What? I can't meet you right now I'm busy"

"Schlatt you told me you would sort it, Wilbur doesn't want me apart of it"

"George listen, if you don't help me they are going to put me in jail"

Okay that part I could hear.

What the fuck was going on?

"They can't do that"

"If they call me I'll give another statement, alright? Just keep me updated"

He ends the call, looking to me.

"What're you doing awake?"

"I heard a crash and it woke me up, what was that about?"

"Schlatt was supposed to do a blood test with his brother but now police have reopened the case"

"What's his brother got to do with it?"

"His brother was impersonating him, As far as I know Schlatt had nothing to do with it but because they're identical twins there isn't enough evidence against Jay"

"Jay?" I ask.

"Schlatt's brother"

"So what are the police doing now?"

"Well the evidence they have is going back to the lab to see if they can find a clear DNA result, they might need more evidence though, I'm not sure"

"Don't worry too much, they can't let him out, the most they can do is put Schlatt in jail too"

"Are you sure?" He asks.

"Yes, but police might start wanting you to give a more detailed story now"

He nods silently, clearly in his own head.

I let the silence linger on for a while until I can't bare it anymore.

"Are you okay?"

"How did you guys start dating?"

That was random.

"Oh- I told them both how I felt and they reciprocated the feelings, now...here we are" I smile.

"I'm really glad you finally told them, you guys look so happy"

"How are things with you and Dream? You guys spend a lot of time together"

He chews the inside of his cheeks before answering.

"Can I talk to you about something?" He suddenly turns serious and I nod.

"Of course you can"

A creak from the floor boards make us both divert our attention behind us.

"Hi guys" Sapnap rubs his eye sleepily, half wrapped in a blanket.

"Hey" I faintly smile to him, glancing back at George.

"It can wait" He smiles.

"Sorry- did I interrupt something?" Sapnap puts an arm around me.

"No-no don't worry about it, Karl you should probably get some more sleep"

"You should too" I get off my stool.

"You coming back to bed Sap?" I ask.

"Just getting some water" He smiles and I nod, taking my phone back over to the mattresses and turning the torch off.
