“Are you feeling okay?” The other asked slowly. “I’m just f***ing peachy, leave me alone.” George growled as he stormed out of the room. He didn’t even know where he was, he just knew he stormed out.

He flopped on the floor. He was pushed to his limits, he thought as his eyes landed on the old borrowing tunnels he had dug around the area. He missed those days, being small, but he needed to be big. He would be murdered by his own friends if he was small.

George frowned as he sat at his makeshift table. He had been watching what the humans were on the television, and the only thing he knew was that he had a massive issue.

“Little human-like creatures were discovered in labs a while ago, and have been studied until the scientists' data was released. They could be living in your walls. Here’s how you can find or prove they are in your walls.”

He cringed remembering that speech. The humans didn’t seem to be paying too much attention, because if they had at the time, they would’ve definitely checked and seen both him and the holes.

He needed to stay with humans. He needed to be safe.

He pulled out the phone he had borrowed from the humans, and quickly posted an ad, looking for a home.

This was a bad move for ordinary borrowers, but George had been trained his whole life on how to harness his abilities as a sizeshifter.

He needed to be safe, hidden among humans.

He heard the humans outside discussing his offer, which shocked him as he had only just posted it. But he received a notification from the one named ‘Dream’ that he could stay with them. At least he wouldn’t have to move too far.

“George?” G**, couldn’t Dream leave him alone? He wanted to cry. “George, I’m coming in.” The other opened his door, to find him lying pathetically on the ground. He groaned as he felt the other lay down next to him.

“Leave me alone…” He grumbled asd he buried his face in the floor. It wasn’t comfortable, but he didn’t want to face Dream.

“No. What’s going on with you, are you feeling okay? Are you sick?” Dream whispered. George didn’t respond.

“George. I want to help you, but you are making this so g**d*** painful. What is going on.” Dream pushed. He didn’t like that George was upset, but the human wasn’t taking it well.

“I don’t want to talk about it, go away.”

“Dream, leave George alone, he clearly doesn’t care about how we feel about this.” He heard Sapnap shout from the door. Figured. Dream brought in emotional support. The human got up. “Fine. George, I’m not happy. I understand that you don’t want want to talk about it but you could at least be nice and let us help you.”

“Leave me alone!” George shouted suddenly, with more force than he thought. He shut his eyes as he felt excruciating pain wash over him.

He laid on the ground, motionless, as he heard gasps from both of his roommates. Did he have a wound? He thought to himself before he had a harsh realization. He had been picked up, scooped into someone’s hand. S***.

He squirmed as a finger rubbed against his back, but he didn’t really mind it. It felt good, actually. “George?” He heard Dream whisper for the tenth time that day, and he only squirmed more.

“We’re not gonna hurt you.” Sapnap whispered. He wanted to believe the other’s words, but he didn’t want to die. “You owe me a twenty later.” He could hear Dream’s smile.

“You two f***ing bet on me?” George groaned. Of course they did, they were idiots. “Yeah, we kinda saw a bunch of holes in the house, and you were here a lot quicker than what your ad implied.” Dream explained softly, as his gentle fingers brushed his back.

“Sap here is going to get the things we got for you set up, and you and I are going to relax.” Dream smiled, flipping the borrower over to face him.

“G**, I wish I could meet Karl, you two are so unbearable.” Sapnap groaned, opening his phone, probably to call the other.
