I spelled that first try btw- I'm so amazing ✨✨

Prompt; Dream goes outside during a cold stormy day, and ends up getting ill.
He believes it is nothing serious but after a lot of begging from George, he goes to the hospital, now figuring out he does not have long to live.

/\ ~ Dream ~ /\

The power shut off, just as me and George finished getting all the candles lit. I'm just thankful we got it done before the power went out. I sat with George on the couch, waiting patiently for the storm to pass. I was also waiting for Patches, as she would usually come and sit with me whilst we waiting for the storm to pass.

Five minutes passes and Patches was nowhere to be found. I panicked, standing up and running around the house, desperately trying to find her.

"Dream.. love calm down. We'll find her."

"No George- I swear she was in the house an hour ago."

"Maybe she went outside?"

"What-? No she can't go outside during a storm- George it's not fucking safe."

"Dream- please just listen. You can't go outside Dream!"

I ignored George as I scrambled to get my shoes and coat on, running out the house as fast as possible.

I ran around the garden, looking for any sign of Patches. She was nowhere to be found in the garden so I ran into the nearby forest, knowing she liked going in for some random reason.

I yelled out for her, struggling to see in the intense rain and fog. I began stumbling, becoming tired and unable to move. My vision began going hazy and I eventually fell to the floor, not being able to move.

I could do nothing but lay still and hope the storm would soon pass. I felt some soft material on my hand, before turning my gaze to see Patches next to me. She was shivering and soaking wet. I could hear her meowing shakily at me. Seeing her in that much pain made my heart ache. With the rapidly depleting strength I had I sat up and took off my coat.

Wrapping it around Patches, I picked up her up and stood carefully. I ran out of the forest with Patches curled up in my arms, and yelled as loud as I could for George, before falling to the floor again.

/\ ~ George ~ /\

I heard a faint yell from outside, before a loud bang. I ran outside, seeing Dream in the floor with no coat. Instead Patches had curled up in it, but was now nuzzling Dreams head. I grabbed Dream and pulled him inside, Patches following close behind.

"Dream.. Dream please wake up.."

I softly patted his cheek, praying he'd wake so I could take care of him.

His eyes fluttered slightly open, as he caught his breath.

"Oh thank god. Dream.. please don't do that again.."

"Mhm.."

"No no no.. don't go to sleep love.. we need to get you out of those clothes and get you warm."

"But 'm so tired.."

"I know sweetheart. I know. Just come on, I'll make it quick I promise you."

//- After Dream was cleaned up -\\

"Sleep well my love.."

"Mhm.."

I sat with Dream until he fell asleep. I felt his forehead and was not shocked to find that it was boiling.
I'd get him some medicine in the morning.
