Chapter 5 (Dream) ✔︎

" awww come on dude, don't leave me hanging like that " he chuckles to me
" well.. alright then, did you make it back to your dorm at least? "

" yeah i did "

" what about george? is he okay? "

" u-umm yeah actually he's asleep in his room and i don't wanna bother him right now "
fuck..

" okay then, i'll see you tomorrow at class then man"

"y-yeah.. same to you sap "

the three beeps of the call disconnecting echoed through my ears as my arm slowly fell down to my side— still clutching my phone
i bit my lip out of shame, my heart began to hurt

" you lied to him.."

a small hoarse voice made me turn around— he was standing in front of the doors entrance
clothes completely soaked from the rain outside but i could tell that he's been crying for a long time
" george.. "

" why did you lie to him?—
if you know— then why did you lie! "
he takes a step towards me, but this step was aggressive— like he was trying to stand his ground

" because.. i think that— you're mistaking friendship and romance "
he grits his teeth and takes another step towards me, but i don't move from my spot
his face was mere inches away from mine as he grabs a hold of the collar on my shirt and coat
" you don't know how he talked about you!—
you don't know anything!— "

i could feel his hand shaking from the grip he had on my clothes—
i could hear the tremble— no.. i could hear the hurt in his voice—
" it's not like that george— "

he gets his other hand and grips on my clothes tighter as he pushes me onto the couch— making me land flat on my back, i look up at him in shock
" Oh yeah?!—
so saying how much they admire you and don't want to RUIN ANYTHING YOU HAVE is friendship?!—
saying how much they missed seeing you as " just a friend?!— "
talking about how handsome and smart they are?!
talking about how happy they make you when you're alone!—
blushing and smiling whenever they talk about you in front of their friends.. "

i could feel his warm tears drop onto my cheek as they slowly slid down to my neck— mixing itself with the raindrops that were still on my skin
his body trembled, his grip on my coat and shirt grew weaker
as much as i didn't want to admit it— george was right
sapnap does have a crush on me..

" you're wrong.. "
was all i said to him in that moment

the brit hangs his head down, brunet hair covered his eyes and half of his face—
he was still trembling.. but after a couple seconds of him doing this, i realized that he wasn't trembling from being angry— he was trembling from laughter

he throws his head back as he laughs even louder, his grip still on my clothes— then.. silence filled the room once more for a few seconds, until he looks down at me
" admit it dream.. you know you're best friend is in love with you— "
and after hanging out with you today.. i realized why his heart beats for you "

my eyes widened, his body was slowly leaning onto mine to the point where i could feel his heartbeat against my own..
his heard turned slightly as his warm trembling lips interlocked with mine

i should've just pushed him off of me—
i should've told him he had no reason to be mad at me because he was rejected—
i should've told him that he was acting like a spoiled child—
but i didn't

instead?— my hand slowly reaches the back of his head and pushes it a bit closer to mine,
deepening the kiss
i could practically feel what he was feeling as the sound of heavy pouring rain hit the window in the background
his lips tasted.. sweet.. yet.. bitter

he pulls back after a while and slowly lifts his head back up to meet my gaze
tears still falling from his eyes

" i'm sorry.. "

was all he said as he got off of me and slowly walked into his room,
leaving me on the couch— a tear formed and began to burn my eyesight as it slid down my cheek and mixed itself with not only rain water—
but georges own tears
