"Like, you're actually real," Sapnap wasn't shocked, just so excited that his brain couldn't comprehend the fact that his best friend was sitting on his couch. In Texas. With him.
"We've been over this what, 5 times," Dream laughed, finding it hilarious that Sapnap is taking this long to finally come to reality.
"Yeah, but so what? You weren't lying about coming here," Sapnap was over the moon excited.
"Where else would I have been driving for the past 14 hours?" Dream asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Fuck you," Sapnap punched his shoulder, making Dream lean to his right. They fell into a comfortable silence after that, just enjoying being in the presence of the other while watching a movie that Sapnap had put on. Sapnap went to go to the bathroom and when he came back was when the silence was broke.
"Hey Dream, you hungry?" Sapnap asked, opening the Postmates app to order their late lunch/early dinner, thinking it was only 3pm in Texas.
"You don't gotta call me Dream, you can call me Clay," he laughed. "But yeah, what are you thinking?"
"I don't want to cook, so Chipotle?" Sapnap asked. "And yeah, you can call me Nick even though you already do."
"Yeah I'm down," Dream leaned onto his side, putting his feet on the couch and accidently touching his friends thigh with his foot.
"Ew, don't touch me with those nasty feet that have been in those socks for the past 2 days," Nick pushed Clay's feet off the couch.
"You did not," Dream turned and faced the other, and put his feet directly in his lap.
"Get them OFF!" Nick screamed the last part because Dream started wiggling his toes. "You are a freak, I hope you know."
"Oh come on now, you know I have cute feet," he lifted them higher, almost touching Sap's hands. "Just admit it and I'll take them away."
"Clay," he warned, trying to push them away.
"Nick," the blonde responded, raising his eyebrows quickly as a smirk appeared on his face. "All you gotta do is admit it, or even tweet it."
"Fuck you," Nick exited the app and opened twitter.
'dream has cute feet'
"Not that hard, was it?" Dream lifted his feet from Sapnap's lap, but kept them on the couch, almost touching him, but not quite.
"You touch me, and you can drive back home," Sapnap threatened, finishing up his order and passing the phone to Dream. He quickly added his burrito to the cart and handed the phone back to Sapnap, who placed the order.
"It should be here in 45 minutes," he said, leaning back against the couch and putting his arms around the edge. "Another movie while we wait?"
"Yeah, I'll choose," Dream grabbed the remote off the coffee table and started scrolling through the movie section on Netflix. He stopped on the movie "Alex Strangelove'" (1000% recommend btw) and smiled as he put it on.
"No, we're not watching some cheesy gay shit," Nick tried to take the remote from Dream, but he put it above his head, out of reach. "Give me the remote."
"Come take it," Dream smirked, thinking that Sapnap wouldn't try. But oh boy, was he wrong. Sapnap climbed on top of him, chest to chest, and reached up and grabbed the remote out of Dream's hand.
"That was easy," he smiled before getting off. Leaving Dream stunned. He laid there, pupils blow at what had just happened. Nick was on top of him, like actually on top of him. This is not how he wanted to start this trip.
Sapnap ended up playing the movie that Dream chose, he just wanted to tease him and see how far things would go. He giggled when he saw that Dream was just laying there, still processing everything that happened a few moments ago.
"You good man?" Nick asked, genuinely worried.
Dream snapped out of it and came back to reality, and away from everything he was imagining. "Y-yeah all good. Sorry, got distracted."
"Obviously," Sapnap rolled his eyes.
"Are you kidding me? You're playing the movie after getting on top of me?" Dream was confused, but not complaining.
"Maybe I just wanted an excuse to get on top of you," Nick looked over at him and winked, getting a shuttered breath out of Dream.
"Let me take you out to dinner first, Nick. We can kiss on the first date," Dream teased.
"I'm buying you dinner tonight, so it counts," Nick joked. Oh how much Dream wished it wasn't a joke. "If you still want it with my chipotle breath I'll accept."
"Fuck off," Dream rolled his eyes, chest tightening at the thought of feeling Sapnap's lips against his. Those soft looking, pink lips that would feel like heaven against his. He sneaked another glance at them before turning back to the TV to watch the movie.
About half way through, there was a knock at the door. Sapnap stood up to go get it, and came back to the couch with the bag of food. He gave Clay his burrito, and pulled out the bag of chips and queso, along with guacamole, and his burrito bowl. They ate in silence, other than the occasional saying of how good the food was. Dream opted on not having his feet up on the couch, not wanting Sapnap to lose his appetite, but the second all the food was gone, his feel were back into Sap's lap.
"Do you want like a foot massage or something?" Sapnap sassed, but in a jokingly manner.
"I'm a touchy, feely person, Nick. Get used to it. I show my love with touch," Dream explained. It wasn't wrong. Whenever he'd have random hook ups or real relationships, all he would do in the meantime was cuddle with whoever he had.
"I always got that vibe from you," he confessed, making Dream quark his eyebrows. "No, no, no, not like that. You just always say how you like to be touching someone when your with them and I remember you telling me about how you and Khai were always holding hands or something when you were together."
"Yeah, if we weren't fucking we were cuddling or finding some way to be touching each other. He was really patient with it, thankfully. Some people hated it and thought I had some mommy issues or something," he laughed. "But that's why I got Patched because she like to cuddle."
"Speaking of Patches," Nick looked around the room. "Where is she?"
"I opened the crate when I put my stuff away, she might just be exploring or laying with Mowgli," Dream shook it off, knowing that his cat was safe. She was smart, wouldn't do anything to harm herself. Except for the possible touch of water here and there.
Sapnap just hummed, and decided to place his hand on Dream's calf. "You fine with this? I'm a touchy person as well," Sapnap smiled and looked over at Dream who had a dusting of blush on his face.
"Yeah, don't mind," Dream smiled back, and faced the TV again. All of a sudden, a wave of sleepiness crashed into him like crazy. Must of been from all the driving and finally being in a comfortable place that made him fall into a nice, calming sleep.
***
Sapnap glanced over at Dream after getting no response when he asked which movie they wanted to watch next.
"Awe," Nick smiled and felt his cheeks heat up at the sleeping boy right next to him. He grabbed a blanket and draped it over his and Dream's body, not wanting him to be cold when he woke up. He wanted to take a picture and post it, but remembered no one knew about them being together yet, and he hasn't done a face reveal. He decided to take one anyway, but send it to George.
