George mumbles and sighs before getting out of his bed. He makes his way to a mirror, grounding himself back into this reality.
Brown fluffy hair that stopped neatly above his shoulders with small blue highlights left fading away, a blue right eye and a darker shade of blue on the left, a facial scar across his cheek, a bland blue shirt, and finally a pair of jeans.
He looked at his hands for a moment, moving the fingers and touching the back of his palm and arm. He just wanted to make sure none of this was a dream.
When he finally felt content with looking, he turned back to the letter, but stumbled backwards when he saw DreamXD standing there.
DreamXD darts over and catches George, his arms around his waist, and George's arms around DreamXD's neck.
George stares at the XD mask in front of him, seeming to melt to the touch once again. His whole demeanor faltered.
George slowly took his hands and let go of DreamXD's neck. "Sorry."
DreamXD slowly let George go, not sure of what else to do other than nod.
It became awkward pretty quickly, and neither DreamXD nor George new how to fix it, so George just said what was on his mind. Looking straight at the God, he asked sternly, "So, you and Dream are the same person?"
DreamXD backed away, turning around and touching the note on George's nightstand, "In a way, yes. I made a sort of 'clone' to watch over this whole SMP while I worked. It wasn't the best idea, since I myself am as obsessive as Dream. I can just control it. Dreams a new version of me; no experience with the world, no control over his thoughts. It was a dangerous game that I watched unfold for fun." DreamXD paused before turning back to George, seeing his face twisted in a look of surprise and discomfort. "And then he got you involved. I had to stay close to you. I was afraid of loosing you."
George runs his fingers trough his hair, "Right. So what are your going to do." George glanced up at DreamXD, who began to take off his mask.
"Well, I'll do the only thing I can." DreamXD threw the mask onto the floor and blinked his eight eyes, "I'll just send him to the depths of hell until I can figure out shit."
George rolls his eyes, catching an attitude. "You know what, go for it. I have a meeting with my friends."
As George began to walk out the door, DreamXD's arm grabs George's wrist and pulls him against his chest, grabbing George's face and pulling him into a kiss.
The kiss was one sided. DreamXD backed off and looked at George and he looked worried, "George, please. Listen to me when I tell you that Dream isn't worth it. I am."
George glares and spits on DreamXD's shoes. "You're worth it when you realize how immature you are. Now, I'm leaving. Don't follow me." George turned around and walked right out the door, leaving DreamXD in the house.
George began his short journey to Kinoko Kingdom, the entire place being rebuilt after Dreams rampage, and met up with Karl and Sapnap.
Karl looked up from his book and gasped, shaking Sapnap. Sapnap turned and looked up, seeing George as well. The pair rushed over to George and embraced him.
"It's been so long!! Sapnap and I have been waiting for you!" Karl laughed and giggled, happy to get the trio back together. Sapnap laughed as well, patting George's head. "Where have you been little man? With that god boyfriend of yours?"
George laughed and patted their backs, "He's not my boyfriend. I'm sure that if he was, he wouldn't have lied to me and used me."
Sapnap and Karl go silent. Sapnap pulls away from George, his eyes narrowing. Smoke rises from his skin. It's common for blaze hybrids. "He did what?"
Karl's eyes quickly latch onto his book, flipping the pages. He soon looks back up at George with confusion. "Used you? Lied to you? He's a god. Why would he-"
Sapnap grabs George's shoulders tightly, cutting Karl's sentence off once more, "Where's that fucker. I'm not going to let him do the same thing Dream did!" Smoke rises from George's shirt, and he quickly grabs Sapnaps wrists and pulls them off.
"It's okay Sap. Im fine. Just pissed off, you know?" George offers Sapnap a smile, and Sapnap huffs.
"I can't believe that bastard." Sapnap shakes his head, closing his eyes and clenching his fists. After a moment, Karl speaks up, "You should stay with us for a while. It'll be safe."
Karl looks up at George with a warm smile, and George thinks about it. After a moment he nods, "Sure. I don't see why not."
——
Dream sits in his 'limbo' once again. He was actually dead, but since he was sent to hell, he may as well be. He didn't know what to think of all of this.
He wasn't even sure why George seemed so angry at the two of them.
All he did know and understand was that his job is over. And to him, it's a relief. He doesn't have to worry about Quackity, Wilbur, Tommy, Ranboo, or the rest of the SMP. It was DreamXD's job now. All he wanted now was George back.
The two had been through so much together. He knew Sapnap had moved on to Karl, but George seemed to stay. It was sweet and charming.
That's all he wanted.
And now that DreamXD got involved (through his own accord), he was upset about it.
Dream told DreamXD when they had first come into contact with one another that he can't to be left in charge, and low and behold, he was correct.
Dream pulls his knees to his chest, dropping the red rose onto the ground beside him. He puts his head on his knees, looking around. He wasn't sure how long he was going to be here, but he's assuming a while.
At least until DreamXD talks to him of course.
Now Dreams mind drove wild with thoughts, thinking. Was he really the bad guy? Or was it DreamXD? Or was it George? The overall SMP? Who was to blame for this disaster.
It continues to plague his mind for days at a time. Days that turned into months, that turned into years.
DreamXD never came to have a conversation with him. He never saw the surface again.
And George stayed in Kinoko Kingdom with Sapnap and Karl, thriving and happier than ever.
And DreamXD? Well, he didn't want to hurt anyone else again. Especially not George, so, he did what he knew best. He left small calendula flowers wrapped and preserved in wax along with a small letter of appreciation on George's bedside once a month.
He watched when George would smile at the note, and put the flower in a vase.
He did this until he too, eventually fell down to the grass of the SMP.
DreamXD was beside him the whole time, comforting him through the painful experience, until leaving once more.
DreamXD continued his title of 'God' and watched the world reset again.
There was a new beginning, a new era, around the corner. One where he wouldn't make the same mistake with Dream, and let George live happily with him.
Watching their relationship unfold was torture, but he got to see himself turn into a better man, and that in itself was something to be proud of.
Slowly with time, Foolish joined him with a title. DreamXD was known as the 'god of creation', and Foolish got the title 'god of death'.
This continued for eons, until DreamXD gave up his title and let Foolish continue the legacy of keeping the SMP in order.
The retirement was hard, but DreamXD had grown tired of watching the same things happen.
And now he lived in peace, looking back at fond memories of George until they do faded with time.
End.
