When Dream walked into George room this evening he expected everything, but finding the brunette sobbing, in one of the shirts he thought he had lost.

"What's wrong?", Dream asked and quietly, yet quickly closed the door behind himself, as he walked up to George.

George shrugged and seemed to try and hide the print of the shirt, probably hoping Dream wouldn't notice that it was his.

The blonde decided to drop it for now, hugged George gently and whispered: "Everything is going to be okay. I'm here for you" "I'm sorry", George sobbed and Dream looked at him confused.

"Do you mean for stealing my shirt? It's okay, you look very cute in it. You can keep it if you want", Dream said softly and George blushed and tried to smile, as the tears ran down his cheeks. "You're always making me feel better", he cried and suddenly his smile faded again, "And I wish I wasn't so scared of telling you what's wrong"

"You never have to be scared to tell me anything, George.", Dream said and carefully wiped a few tears away, "I promise, you never have to be afraid. Never here, never with me"

George held onto him for dear life or at least that's what it felt like and Dream quietly asked: "Do you wanna cuddle to calm down? Just breathing with me for a bit?"

George nodded and let himself be pulled onto Dreams chest, laying down with him.

"Just relax, everything is okay. There is nothing to be scared of.", Dream whispered to him, gently running his fingers through George's hair. The brunette slowly relaxed in his arms and seemed to find comfort in Dreams slow breathing and the sound of his heartbeat. "Promise me that you'll always stay my friend, even after what I'm gonna tell you", George said quietly and Dream smiled and replied: "George, I would dispose of a dead body for you without asking questions. Nothing will ever result in me not wanting to be your friend anymore. I promise."

George sat up just enough to look at Dream and with more tears welling up in his eyes, he whispered: "I love you, Dream"

Dream looked at him in disbelief and quickly pulled him into another tight hug.

He held him close like he would vanish the second he would let go. "I love you too, George, I have for so long.", he confessed and smiled as he almost felt tears as well, "I never expected you to love me back"

"Well I do, you idiot", George replied and Dream could hear the smile out of his tone.

Never had the words you idiot sounded this affectionate and never had Dream wanted to hear them more.

Gently Dream leaned his forehead against Georges and whispered: "See? You never have to be scared of anything." "So I can just tell you how bad I want a kiss?", George asked and Dream smiled. "Exactly", he whispered and closed the distance, his lips softly meeting the brunettes.

"I love you, Dream", George said again, softly and it made the blonde shiver as he looked at George with a hopelessly fond expression. "I love you too, George. God, I love you so much", he sighed and slowly pulled him in for another kiss.
