Nefarious (Dreamnotfound)

Struggles (Self Harm)

Dream?

Yes?

George wraps his arms around dream burning his face in dreams chest

Are you okay?

George starts sobbing into dream chest

Hey? What's wrong

George doesn't answer but dream could feel Georges body weakening

Why don't we go get cleaned up and go to bed?

George nods and Dream picks him up carrying him to the bathroom. Dream sets him down in the bathroom and turns on the tub to fill it up before leaving the room to get George and his clothes. On his way back he knocks on emeralds door

Knock knock

Come in...hey what's up

Um...George and I will be in the bathroom for a little while

She stares at dream for a couple minutes then becoming saddened

He's falling apart isn't he

Dream doesn't answer so she walks towards him, and hugs dream and dream returns the hug and she tries to whisper in his ear

Don't let him be tuff, not for you. I don't know what you guys consider yourselves but you are the most important person in his life. Leaving you almost killed him and it haunted him every night. He refused to talk about you much. It was painful to him but he had to, to keep everyone safe.

Emerald turns and grabs a small bank safe; she returns to dream and hands it to him. When he looks inside he finds razor blades, rubber bands, pills, and a lighter.

It's a warning of what you might find, talk to him, let him spill his guts to you. He's been holding too much in.

Dream nods then returns to the bathroom. He sets the clothes and saves them down on the counter before hugging George tight. He whispers in George hear (let's get you cleaned up) and George slides off the counter in front of dream

Can I?

George nods and as dream starts to remove his shirt, George jumps back away from him (realized about the self harm)

Shh...i already know about it if that's why

They hold eye contact for a few seconds before George looks at the ground and moves back towards dream

Clay?

I'm not going to judge you, I understand darling

Dream undresses George and leads him into the bathtub. Dream sits down outside of the tub on the floor and places his hand on Georges cheek, rubbing around the few tears that ran down it

Do whatever you need to do. I'm here, cry if you need to, speak your mind, whatever you need to do.. do it.

George opens his eyes making silent eye contact with dream as he leaned into dream's hand.

I missed you so much (barely loud enough to hear)

I know darling

George lightly grabs dreams hands looking them and his arms over

Did you?

No

George lightly smiles before saying that he was glad

Dream lightly grabs George's face making him make eye contact

Should I be worried about you?

George stares at him for a couple seconds before shaking his head no

Can I see them when your ready

After we're done with this?

Does not have to be anytime soon, whenever you're ready. It's a lot for you take your time

George stays silent

After some time of a comforting silence, George breaks it

Did she give them to you

She did...

Can we get rid of them?

Of course if you want to

Please

Okay

They continue making small talk then after some time dream helped him out of the tub

Will you be fine waiting for a couple minutes while I shower?

George nods so Dream undresses and gets the shower and George sits on the tub side with a towel around him. After a couple minutes dream hears a silence "can I" dream looks slightly in the direction before nodding. George steps in and wraps his arms around dreams waist

Are you okay?

Yeah..

Dream turns around and kisses George's forehead before finishing showering and stepping out. Dreams wraps a towel around himself and George holds out his arms to show Dream the marks. Dream glances up at George waiting for permission for him looking at them closely.

Can I look at your body

George nods and dreams looking at every mark on his body from the little birthmark to the burn scars on his back. Dream starts to dress George but he declines his shirt, Dream starts to get dressed himself but George gently grabs his shirt as he makes eye contact with dream.

Do you want me to keep it off

George nods

Okay

Dream carries George to bed and George cuddles into Dream's chest. George quickly falls asleep as Dream lays watching George until the door slowly opens.

Sapnap?

Sapnap looks at them then because a little shocked as he starts to stutter

I'm sorry, I didn't know you guys would...

Sapnap, we didn't. Come on (dream moves over and pats the spot next to him)

Are you sure?

Of course, is Karl going to be worried?

No, he knows I'm with you, He's at headquarters with some others from the group

Okay

How's he holding up?

Not the best, how about Karl and you?

Its weird

I agree but I'm glad He's back

How are you?

So much better

I'm glad, there's going to be some changes, just so you know.

What? What do you mean

I could be wrong but I think techno is planning to add to the group

Dream looks at Sapnap worried

Calm down, I think he's adding Cleo, emerald, and eventually one or both of the blonde girls that are currently with the California group but i think he has more in the plans.

Are we going to have enough room?

I think he's coming up with a plan but he needs to talk to everyone to get their opinions.

Oh okay

Also... I think he plans to leave to join the California group, but I don't know when

Who will take over?

I don't know, technically George is still second in command because he's alive but I don't think he's ready to take over all this responsibility so I don't know.

The two of them continue making small talk until they drift off to sleep.
