George POV

"Tomorrow... d- do you want to go on a date?" He asked with a stutter. I smiled and chuckled at him. I really wanted to. To go out in public. Together.

"I'd really like that. But won't they recognize you? When I go out nowadays... I get recognized a lot. Are you worried? Would you risk people knowing about us so soon? Also what you looked like?" His face turned somewhat sad when I started saying it. "I really want to go on a date with you, but we have millions of people who want to know our every movement. If this got out, we couldn't deny it. But I would be down for me to get takeout. We could stay here, and it would just be us two." I was upset because all I wanted was to go out on a date and show what's mine. But, did Dream want that all out yet. Did I?

"Yeah, I guess your right. I just really wish we could just be us in public. Just two boys in Love."

Dreams POV

Fuck. I know that he loved me and I knew I loved him, but I never told him with him truly knowing I meant it. I don't know if this was good or bad. I was freaking out on the inside. I knew where he was but, saying it is a lot different than thinking it. Georges gave me a smirk, and at that moment I knew where this was going.

"Oh. two boys in love you say. So you love me huh?" He tried doing it to tease me and make me embarrassed. But I didn't give him the satisfaction.

"Of course Georgie, you know I love you. A lot!" George blushed when I said that. I made him embarrassed. I laughed and pulled him in for a hug.

"I love you too," George said. I couldn't help but smile, we finally both said it knowing where we stood. We loved each other. He looked at me smiling before he jumped at me for a hug. I picked him up and held him as he laid his head on my shoulder. He later picked his head up cupped my face and went in for a kiss. Of course, I kissed him back, and god it felt good. I sat him on the kitchen counter for a minute as we kissed very passionately. I slid my hands up and down his waist. He kept his hand on my neck, every once in a while pulling my hair. I got butterflies with each kiss and each pull of my hair. I gave him kisses all up and down his neck as he moaned at each one. It felt so good holding him in my arms. 

As we got more playful in our movements taunting the other. He would pull away from me with a smile on his face and I would pull him back. I teased him by almost putting my mouth on his neck but stopping before I got there. He would moan in my ear and god it was amazing being with him. After a while of making out, we moved over to the couch. Me still shirtless, I put his back then head down on the couch as I got on top. We continued making out for a while tell he stopped kissing me for a moment, he looked serious so I stopped too.

"You okay?" I asked truly worried. Then he reached his hands down to my waist and started tickling me. My arms collapsed making me fall on him. He let out a groan and moved his arms out from under me and started tickling me again. I fell on the ground as he got on top of me and continued tickling me.

"You got nowhere to go now do you?" He asked playfully but confidently. I laughed knowing I could easily pick him up and tackle him myself. But I let him have some fun as I let out a few laughs and some wheezes while he tickled me all over. He smiled until I had enough and I grabbed his waist rolling him over.

"Haha, whose got nowhere to go now?" He pouted playfully tell I reached in for a kiss than quickly moved my head down to his neck shaking my nose on his neck as a tickle. He let out a playful giggle which was really cute. I could do whatever I wanted and he couldn't do anything. I tickled him for the next minute or so before I got tired and he seemed done. I laid next to him on the ground putting my arm behind my head as a pillow, relaxing, savoring the moment we just shared.

"So what good food places are around here? We could get some food for here, kind of like a date." I suggested. He rolled over on his stomach before giving me an answer.

"Well, there is a good sushi place called 'Greenies Sushi' not too far from here. I could go and pick some up. They have great sushi and some other Chinese food too." I loved sushi so I was fine with it. I let him know what I wanted. He called the place putting in a takeout order. As he left to drive and pick up the sushi I told him I would set up the table so I did.

Georges POV

Those words coming out of his mouth made me so happy. It was a perfect time to tease him and so I did.

"Oh. two boys in love you say. So you love me huh."  I said expecting him to get flustered. My mistake.

"Of course Georgie, you know I love you. A lot!" He said back. God the nickname and hearing him say it to me in a meaningful way. I couldn't help but blush. I guess he won. I hugged him before jumping into his arms for him to hold me. I felt so safe in his arms. I loved this boy a lot. So, I kissed him. I just went all in. So did he. I smiled as I wrapped my arm around his neck and pulling on his hair. He started kissing my neck which felt so good. I let out a soft moan at each one. It looked like he enjoyed the noise I made so I continued letting them out as they came. 

He picked me up and moved me to the couch putting me down gently. To be honest I'd let him do anything he wanted to me. Don't get me wrong I wanted to kiss him forever, but I wanted to be a little playful with him it was fun. I looked at him with a serious laugh. I was about to burst out laughing. I moved my hands slowly down his waist tell I got to his stomach and I tickled him. Within the first tickle he fell on top of me. I let out a groan as a 200 some pound man fell on me. I managed to wiggle my hands out from under him and tickled his back and neck some more.

He rolled on the floor to get away as I got on top of him trapping him down to the floor. I was proud of myself but I knew any second he would pick me off of him. But I enjoyed the moments when I could dominate. I tickled his stomach and back as he wiggled around lifting me each time he moved his hips up. Out of no where he grabbed my waist tackling me down to the ground. I let out a small giggle as he said "Haha who's got no where to go now?" I thought he was going in for a kiss but he ended up just tickling me some more. I let out a small giggle. I realized I couldn't move, but why would I want to? He later got off me rolling to my side as we made direct eye contact. I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"So what good food places are around here? We could get some food for here, kind of like a date." I smiled at the thought finally a date after years of wanting him. It finally came about.

"Well there is a good sushi place called 'Greenies Sushi' not too far from here. I could go and pick some up. They have great sushi and some other Chinese food too." I knew he loved sushi it was one of his favorite foods. I didn't mind it either. We agreed on that as I called the place putting my order in. After the call was over I hopped in my car driving to the restaurant to pick up my food.

While I sat waiting for my name to be called to pay and get my food, I kept getting weird looks. People just kept staring at me. Some in disgust and others just laughed. 'Fuck' I knew what they were looking at. My love bites! God was I embarrassed. I only had a small jacket on me not even close to covering my neck without making it more awkward. Oh well, guess I would just have to own it. As my name was called to get my food, the lady at the front laughed at me. Not in a rude way but a 'good for you' kind of way. I smiled and went on my merry way home. When I walked back into my front I saw a neatly set table and Dream sitting on the couch. The table had napkins and plates and a small candle in the middle.

"I didn't know if this was going to be formal or not, so I present to you two options. Number 1, a nice dinner at the table with candles and plates. Number 2 we eat on the couch." I thought about it for a second. A nice romantic dinner or a cuddled close relaxed one. I wasn't all for romantic stuff anyway so I sat on the couch next to him. We ate the sushi out of the boxes they came in as I talked about what happened at the restaurant.

"It was so embarrassing. I didn't even realize tell after a while. I don't even know how bad the love bites are!"

"Love bites, is that what you British people call a hickey?" He chuckled at me as I gave him a soft punch. " Well, it lets people know your mine so I don't care. It looks good on you anyways." I smiled at him blushing at the words he used. 'mine'. I didn't bring it up as we ate in a comfortable silence every few minutes bringing up another conversation.

Dreams POV

As he walked back in the door the first thing I noticed was his hickeys. I kept in a laugh as I asked him where he wanted to eat. I set up both the dining room and the couch area for food. I overthought it not knowing what he would want to do. I was perfectly fine with either a he picked the couch. He plopped down on my lap as we dug into our food. I loved sushi, I think it was better here than in America. 

"It was so embarrassing. I didn't even realize tell after a while. I don't even know how bad the love bites are!" He said covering his head with his jacket. I pulled it down and looked at him.

"Love bites, is that what you British people call a hickey? Well, it lets people know your mine so I don't care. It looks good on you anyways." I really did like it. It let people know he was mine. Even though we couldn't really be seen together. I guess it was like a reminder to people. I sat enjoying my sushi. We talked a little bit, but this sushi was to good to ignore. As we finished up, I offered to clean up.

"Here let me go put it away," I said about to stand up.

"No it's ok, I can do it." He stood up and walked over to the kitchen taking the trash and left overs dealing with it accordingly.

"You know you need to let me help you at one point. You can't just keep doing everything. I want to do something for you."

"You being here is plenty for me." He said smiling. 

"You know your not the only one getting something out of me being here. I'm happy I'm here too! I'm really happy." As he walked over I realized he was grabbing his wrist. I had forgotten he hurt it that night. After he sat down, I  grabbed his hurt hand giving it a kiss. He smiled.

"How does it feel?" I asked.

"It's just a little sore. I'm going to keep it wrapped for the next few days. That night was just a whole mess."

"Do you want to talk about it?" I asked

George POV

I didn't like talking about my emotions so when he said that I almost immediately said no. I paused for a second recalling what my mom had written in the note earlier. This is my best friend of 6 years or so.

"If you don't want too you don't have too." He reassured me in his words. I knew at that moment I wanted to tell him. But for some reason I was scared.

"I want to tell you. It just might take me a minute." I reassured him. He pulled me close leaning my back on his chest. he held one hand on my stomach and the other softly around my neck. I felt comfort in him but I realized then talking about this would be harder than I thought. I took a few breaths before telling him.

"So emotions. I guess I'm not really good at it. I don't talk about them and I don't really understand them either. When I'm not having a breakdown my emotions really just disappear. The important ones, the ones that really cause problems. My 'breakdowns' have been happening for years. Probably since I was 15 or so. It's just hard sometimes. I had a rough childhood. M-my, dad..." I stuttered at the last part. I wanted to cry so bad right now, but I needed to tell him first.

"Hey it's ok I'm here for you. Take your time." He smiled reassuring me.

"My dad, when he was here would get abusive. He was a drunk. He... he would hit my mom and me. He did that until I was 15. When he ended up overdosing on drugs. He didn't come home one night. But they found his body in an alleyway a few blocks from my house. He hit us almost every day. Especially my mom. If something didn't go his way. We tried moving around, but he just kept finding us. God, I blamed myself. I blamed myself for not being able to protect my mom. It got so bad to the point my mom had to go to the hospital, for a broken arm. She claimed she fell down the stairs. He blamed her for that too. We were to scared to try and reach out for help. We knew that if we did that, he... well, he'd kill us." I felt so vulnerable. I felt like the skin on me had been stripped. Like I was naked. I knew there was more to tell but I physically couldn't get the words out. I didn't cry I just sat there frozen. I never talked about this with anyone before. I just sat on top of him. I felt each of his breaths and it calmed me. He started humming which I could feel down my whole body. I knew he was here, but I still felt alone. Like no one cared about me.

Dream stayed still running his fingers through my hair. I figured he knew I had more to say. But he didn't force me.

"We can talk again later if you would like to. Thank you for telling me. I really appreciate you opening up." He said reassuring me a final time. I sat on him for what I thought was an hour. But when I finally felt I had the ability to move I picked up my phone realizing it was 2 in the morning. I turned around looking at him. I could tell he was tired but he stayed up with me rubbing my head and stomach. I felt loved at that moment. Something only he could make me feel.

"Come on let's get you to bed," I told him. We slowly walked to bed turning off the lights on our way. He took his shirt off, cuddling close to me. He was too tired to even realize what he was doing. He pulled me close as he big spooned me. I put my hand on his as we slowly drifted off to sleep.
