Heart Strings - DreamNotFound

[18] 111

Sapnap and George sat on the couch, they were watching a show they enjoyed a lot, Tipping point, it was one of those cheesy british day time shows. Sapnap was extremely amused by this

"This show makes me never wanna go back to texas or florida"
"It isn't that good sap" george chuckled
"it's nice hearing you laugh"
george simply smiled in reply

Dream had been unwell since yesterday morning, his fever had calmed down but he didn't have the energy to get out of bed. He mostly slept through the days, George found himself waking up in the night checking he was still alive, classic paranoia, it hadnt gone unnoticed.

"you're worrying about dream again aren't you"
"is it that obvious"
"it's painfully obvious george"
George huffed resting his head on his hand, eyes focused on the television
"you know he's fine right, a bad cold at most"
"i suppose, just strange seeing him like this"
"how about we ask karl and alex to come over for a bit i'm sure they can use some cheer- company!"

George had noticed the sudden change of sapnaps wording, his mind dwelled on it yet he didn't want to bring it up , after all maybe it was just a mix up of words, it's best not to overthink these things he decided

"yeah! we can watch some movies together"
"i'll go give karl a call, wanna go give dream some ibuprofen and water to try get the fever down more?" Sapnap stood clapping his hands together and rubbing them like a mischievous fly
"okay" george pulled himself up and headed to the kitchen, he reached for the medicine box.

"why do they put it so high" he grumbled grabbing a chair to stand on, thankful nobody was looking, they'd never let him live it down. He searched through finding a pack of ibuprofen, only two were left meaning he'd have to go to the store later to get more. He put the box away taking the two pills and putting the chair back, he poured a glass of water then headed to dreams room gently opening the door with his foot

Calm snores came from the bed every now and then; this gave george a relaxing comfort of knowing his love- his friend was okay

He placed the pills and water on he bedside table and brushed his hands through dreams hair, planting a kiss on his forehead. The boys mayn't of been dating but they were very clearly in love.

George smiled to himself, Even when sick somehow dream managed to be beautiful, maybe it was the way the light peaking in from the blind complimented his skin, the way his freckles were more distinctive in this moment. His dirty blonde hair ruffled over and covering his eyes, a scar from an eyebrow piercing he got when he was 16. George chuckled remembering the story, Dream said he did it without telling his parents and that when he got home his mom went CRAZY and forced him to take it out, causing it to scar.

Gently george shook him awake

"time for my daily kiss already?" dream chuckled, his voice was raspy between the sickness and the fact he'd just awoken
George shook his head planting a soft kiss on dreams hot cheek
"that's better" dream smiled trying to keep his eyes open
"you feeling any better?"
"now that you're here"
"no clay, like sickness wise"
"oh sorry i forgot it was doctor george, we have to be serious" dream pretended to adjust a tie, playfully lowering his voice
"no doctor i still feel awful! oh when will the pain end!" he cried dramatically
"you're such a loser" george laughed shaking his head he went to stand but dream grabbed his waist pulling him down into the bed
"dreammmmmm"
"georgeeeeeeee"

george giggled giving in, cuddling into dream

"dream you're really hot-"
"well i know"
"no dream, like this isn't normal" george sat up getting off the bed rushing to the kitchen to get a thermometer

he checked dreams temperature

"42°c?!?" George cried out
"NICK" George called, causing sapnap to rush in
"Can you call 111, his temp is way too high! i thought it went down but it's spiked" Georges breathing became heavy as he paced
"George i'm fine- you're being silly" Dream laughed
Sapnap went over and felt dreams forehead
"he isn't wrong dream- your temperature is pretty high, i'll call just to be safe okay?" Sapnap took his phone out to call 111
Dream huffed in defeat turning away from the two, george came over giving him a hug, kissing his neck and cheeks gently trying to stop himself crying. He was worried about dream, even if it was just a bad cold or flu he was worried.

Dream promised he wasn't gonna leave
George had to trust that promise
