Upon waking up, you were slightly startled by the light breathing in your ears before your head caught up to you.
you sat for a second, slowly easing yourself out of unconsciousness.
you heard a soft snore and smiled, opening your heavy eyes a little.
you sleepily reached up and lightly touched the headphones on your head, a content hum left you as you listened to their rhythmic breathing. your eyes fluttered closed again and you felt yourself drift in and out for a while.
then it hit you.
you were awake now. youd just forgotten the two people in the call were the Technoblade and Dream.
oh fuck.
"Are you awake?"
A soft and groggy voice rang through your ears. It took you a second to register who was speaking.
"mhm," you responded softly, now just barely awake enough to form coherent thoughts. you reached up and rubbed your eyes as he spoke to you again, "morning Twix," he muttered, and you faintly heard a coffee pot in the background.
"good morning dream," you responded, opening and closing your mouth to try and rid yourself of the sleep-induced cotton mouth. "are you making coffee?"
Dream paused for a second. "Yeah sorry, didn't know you could hear it."
You waved your hand in the air dismissively.
"Don't apologize, barely noticed," you mumbled, throwing the comforter off of your body and exposing yourself to the winter air in your house. "ohmygod."
"what's wrong?"
"oh, nothing. it's just really cold in my room."
"ah, okay."
"Can I have some?"
"huh?"
you smiled tiredly, "coffee. can I have some?"
"oh, sure."
You cracked open the curtain enough to let just a sliver of golden sunlight in. You looked around the room and your eyes landed on the black hoodie in the corner. "I'm taking my headphones off for a sec," "okay."
"changing, don't look."
"wha-"
You tugged off your headphones and grabbed the oversized hoodie off the floor. You pulled it on and searched through your drawers to find a pair of light pink sweatpants before grabbing your headphones off the bed and opening your bedroom door. "I return."
Dream gave a small hum of acknowledgment.
You walked to your kitchen, idly dragging a hand over the wall, and opened your fridge.
"how much sugar do you put in your coffee?"
you smiled at the random question as you grabbed some orange juice from your fridge. "a lot. why do you ask?"
"No reason. Unrelated, how much creamer do you put?"
You let out an amused exhale through your nose as you lifted yourself to your tippy toes and grabbed a small glass cup from the cupboard, "a lot."
Dream smiled to himself, "you're specific."
"I know."
You took a sip of the acidic juice and let the strong flavor wash away the gross feeling and taste in your mouth. Moving to sit at your dining table, you laid your cheek in your palm and stared out the window, giving yourself a minute to wake up.
The curtains were sheer, allowing the rare and dappled sunlight filtering through the trees to spill gently into the living room and illuminate the dust on the hardwood floor and couches. It rained so often during this time of year, you barely got to see the sun. You watched as the AC turned on, making the dust dance elegantly in the beams of light. However, the clouds spoiled the sun's plans and covered the light source. You noticed the clouds were a darker gray, it was probably going to rain more later. "whys the air conditioning on? it's like, 30 degrees," you groaned, making no effort to get up and fix the thermostat.
"Hey, what's your snap?"
"jesus dream, at least take me on a date first."
Dream's face flushed at the joke, "wait no- stop it."
You laughed and stretched out your legs and arms. You took another sip of orange juice, "the same as my Twitter."
it was a comfortable silence for a second as you watched the dust dance through the sunbeams.
"check your messagesssss." You shook your head, "I have to finish my orange juice, my phone is upstairs." "Chug, chug, chug, chug!"
You smiled, "shut up you're gonna wake up Techno."
He lowered his voice, "chug, chug, chug."
You sighed. "fine."
After you rinsed out your glass and placed it in the sink you started up the stairs, "go fuck yourself I wanted to enjoy that." no yeah okay, fine, just tell your idol to fuck himself.
You grabbed your phone off the nightstand and opened Snapchat as you fell backward onto the mattress. You accepted a friend request from who you could only assume was Dream, and immediately got a notification that he sent you a snap. You rolled your eyes and opened it to see a picture of a creeper mug half-filled with extremely light coffee captioned, 'here you go".
You snorted. "Thank you Dream."
Dream felt a grin come over his face. "Of course."
"What time is it?" you asked, putting your phone down and rubbing your eyes. "Like, I don't know, what state do you live in?"
"Texas,"
"Yee-haw."
"stop it."
Dream smiled in amusement, "so it's like 11:30 for you."
"howd you know that so quickly?"
"Sapnap's from Texas, I memorized the time difference."
"aw, that's sweet,"
"I memorized it because he is so cool and sexy and-"
"let me stop you right there." Dream feigned a sigh. "anyways, do you want to play bed wars?"
You yawned, "yeah sure," you stood up and plopped into your desk chair, "how long have you been up?"
"not long. maybe twenty minutes."
You hummed softly in response, still tired even after sleeping for ten hours. "you know what time techno went to sleep?" you asked, a bit of concern leaking into your voice. "Nah, I fell asleep a little bit after you."
"Aw," you teased, "couldn't stay up without me huh?" "Where is this confidence coming from????" he asked with fake exasperation in his tone but an unseen smile playing on his face. "I've honestly no clue Dream." you replied with a shrug. "please hold, I'm gonna disconnect these headphones really quickly." "Okay."
You swiftly disconnected your wireless headphones and plugged in your cat-ear headphones and your mic. "sudden quality chaaange," you said softly to yourself as you opened Minecraft.
Dream tilted his head slightly. You sounded like techno- or at least you talked like him. he liked it. Techno's mannerisms were kinda cute on you.
"Alright, I'm joining the server."
"wait for a second, I'm not in yet."
"slow ass,"
~~
"he had reach! that's not fair!!" he was raging after getting killed by the same guy for the eighth time.
"dream dream dream," you gently tried to get the boy's attention before he yelled any louder.
"what?" you knew the slight anger in his voice wasn't directed at you, but his raised tone made you flinch.
"Techno." you reminded, not wanting to wake up the other person in the call.
"too late for that twix," you heard the voice speak in an even deeper voice than usual, his tone thick with sleep. Your heart fluttered at Techno saying your name while he sounded like that. It felt so personal to hear someone's voice right after they wake up. "s-sorry uh-," you cleared your throat, "sorry we woke you up."
they were both quiet for a moment, "it's fine, I was gonna wake up soon anyway, might as well have been to Dream raging over some nerd beating him in bed wars." You snickered and Dream let out a short "hey!" in protest.
Techno yawned and you smiled lightly. "You can go back to sleep if you want, we'll be quieter." "no, it's fine, I've already slept eight hours now."
"Twix the next round is starting." Dream's voice came through the headset a little colder than it was a second ago. "I'm sorry," you responded almost immediately.
"for what?"
"um, I don't know, you just sounded upset with me. it was mostly out of habit."
"I wasn't mad, don't worry."
You went quiet for a moment. "promise?"
Both of the guys let out short chuckles. "I promise."
