Dream's phone rang, cutting through the silence of his room. He groaned, before he sat up out of bed and grabbed the phone, answering it and setting it up to his ear.

"Hello?" He asked sleepily.

"Hey Dream, did I wake you up?" Sapnap's voice resounded into his head, and suddenly Dream didn't feel so sleepy anymore. He instantly refocused his tiredness to the sound of his friend's voice, which sounded absolutely dead.

"No." He lied. "Are you okay? You don't sound well..."

"Oh I'm fine. I kinda pulled an all-nighter and slept through first period again."

Dream laughed, though the worry wasn't leaving his voice. "You need to start getting more sleep, babe."

"...Babe?" His friend questioned, and then yawned. "Didn't know you were, what, a romantic?"

"I don't think you know what that means."

"You're right. I don't know how any of that stuff works. You should be calling George that."

Dream pursed him lips, chuckling to himself silently.

"Sapnap, you're an interesting creature. You're on your lunch break right?" Dream asked, looking up at the clock on his wall.

"I'm not sure how to feel about that first statement, but yeah, I'm supposed to be eating lunch right now. But honestly I feel like shit." The younger's voice slurred from the lack of sleep, probably not having rested in over 24 hours. (Besides the short nap he had when sleeping through first period.) "Plus, my voice is terrible when I'm groggy."

"Hey, it's okay, buddy. I like it when you call me when you're sleepy. It's cute."

Sapnap snorted on the other line, a faint blush dusting over his cheeks. "Stop flirting. You never know, it may make them start to like you."

"What are you suggesting hon?"

Sapnap's face exploded into a very bright red. He was glad that no one could see him at the moment, he'd absolutely die of embarrassment. "Nothing Dream." He tried to keep his voice from breaking. "I'm too tired for your shit right now."

"Just admit it." Dream scoffed. "You totally love me."

The younger rolled his eyes, and even though Dream couldn't see him, he was pretty sure Dream knew what he was doing due to the mocking chuckle that left his mouth.

"Sorry Dream. Hate to break it to you, but I'm totally swooning-" he yawned mid-sentence. "-...swooning over George. You mean nothing to me."

"Ouch." Dream wheezed. "That hurts man."

"What hurts is probably how much your laughing right now."

Sapnap would never admit it, but he really liked Dream's laugh. It made him feel warm inside, knowing he was there for him, and that he was happy. And besides that, it was absolutely fucking hilarious to hear it too.

After Dream's "fucking hilarious" laughter died down, they fell into a short comfortable silence. They were both preoccupied with their own thoughts.

"hey Dream," Sapnap said after a moment.

"Hmm?"

"Thanks for everything. Thanks for being here for me."

"Huh-" That caught Dream off guard.

Sapnap barely ever thanked him for anything, so something as sincere as this was a really big curve ball. He was shocked for a bit, his brain short circuiting as a small blush appeared on his cheeks and over the bridge of his nose.

"No problem-" he manage to stumble out. "I'd do anything for you."

Sapnap covered his face in his hands, grinning. "I'd do anything for you too Dream."

They didn't talk this time for a while.

Dream was stunned into silence.

And Sapnap, well he was just drowsily enjoying the warmth that swirled around his chest.

Dream's heart was beating quickly, and the words what the fuck is happening to me bounced through his mind. He frowned at his phone, scrunching his eyebrows thinking of what he was going to say next.

"Sapnap." He started, looking down at his knees. "I like you a lot."

Nothing.

"Sapnap?"

"Huh-" The drowsy boy answered from the other line. "Oh. Sorry I must have dozed off. What'd you say?"

Dream chuckled at his voice, secretly happy that he'd decided to fall asleep at the best moment.

"Nothing important. Don't worry."

Sapnap didn't believe that for a second. He'd known Dream for almost a decade now, he could tell when his best friend was lying.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Absolutely positive... Isn't your lunch break supposed to end soon?"

With that, Sapnap widened his eyes, looking at the time on his computer. Crap! He thought, I'm late for my next period!

"Right of course! Thanks for reminding me." He said, rushing to get his desk cleared and his video camera set back up. "I'll talk to you later."

"You too..." Dream said as Sapnap hung up.

The older sighed as the line went dead.

"I love you Sapnap. I love you so much."
