"A dream...about me?" George said slowly trying not to freak Dream out that he had heard their whole conversion.
"God dammit" Dream said again with exhaust
"No Dream you don't have to explain yourself, We can just drop it"
Dream felt relaxed when George said that. Dream smiled.
"No, George i guess i should tell you"
"Clay it's really fine you don't have to"
"Are you sure, i think if i tell you i'll get out of my mood"
"Whatever you're comfortable with"
Dream smiled again.
"Well i woke up in this park, it was completely empty. Except you...you were there-under a cedar tree. You seemed so relaxed, and you invited me to come sit with you". Dream saw George turned on his Camera and he was sitting at his desk with a smile on his face, he looked genuinely happy to hear Dreams story. Dream hesitated to speak again, he was admiring him. George's smile left his face
"Dream? You there"
"Oh sorry, yeah, anyways, i sat down next to you and we just sat there for awhile". Dream started regretting telling George the story. He had to bring up the fact that George wanted to be just friends, implying Dream didn't.
"And uh...Then you started talking about uh"
Dream started playing with his hoodie strings. He got distracted and he didn't want to continue with his story.
"You asked about us"
"us?" George said confused, he saw George's face turn red and he tried hiding it. Dream let out a slight laugh hoping George wouldn't hear it.
"Yeah, us" Dream whispered
"What about us?" George whispered back
"Our friendship, since we flirt a lot you just made it clear we were strictly friends"
Dream said really fast trying not to dwell on that topic, and hoping George wouldn't hear him if he said it quick enough.
"Well we are just friends aren't we?" George said hesitantly. Dream felt tears surfacing. Those words George just said felt like a stab in the heart. The only thing he didn't want was for his dream to become reality, but his dream had just turned to reality.
He's glad he never turned his camera on, not like he ever does turn on his camera anyways. He faced his ceiling trying to hold the tears back
"Yeah, no of course-were just friends" Dream said with pain in his voice.
"Yeah...Well. Never mind"
Dream got upset, he didn't want to force George to say what he was going to say but he desperately wanted to hear more from him, hoping it would be good news.
George started looking around his room to avoid looking at the screen. "Hey George i think i'm going to go talk to Sapnap, he's kinda mad at me"
"Yeah, go do that, bye Dream". George said with no emotion. Dream hung up the call and cried. His dream became a nightmare. George had said the words he never wanted to hear. Dream sat in his chair crying and realizing he liked his best friend.
He looked back up at his computer and saw George was still in the call, he was confused but turned away from his computer. He didn't bother wiping his tears as we walked to Sapnaps room, he knew he would cry again we he talked about it.
"Sapnap...Do you want to talk now?"
"Yeah i'm still packing but we can talk"
"I just told George about my dream" He said while looking down at the ground. Dream looked up and saw Patches laying on his bed and he walked over and laid with her.
"Well, how did it go"
"How do you think" He said while lifting his head and showing Sapnap his face full of tears. Sapnaps eyes widen, and drops the clothes he just folded and steps over his suit case to hug Dream. "Clay-its going to be okay" Sapnap said while hugging Dream and rubbing his back. Dream squeezed Sapnap and cried into his shoulder. Once Dream caught his breath he pulled away from Sapnap and apologized
"I told him about the dream and he said we are just friends"
"Well you are aren't you?" Sapnap said confused
"NO Sapnap, i-i like George, a lot"
Sapnap stood up and finished his packing.
"Well maybe you should talk to him about it". Sapnap started folding his clothes again and cleaning his room. Dream had no reason to be mad at Sapnap but he left Patches and stormed out his room, he went down the hall and back into his own room, slamming the door.
Sapnap just sighed
they need to work this out, and soon.
Dream slammed his door and sat back at his desk, George was still in the call, Dream was confused so he rejoined
"George?" He whispered
"Dream?" George whispered back while sniffling
"Hey what's wrong?" Dream said softly
"Huh? Oh i'm fine, my allergies are getting to me"
Dream was glad to hear George wasn't crying but in some way he kind wished George was crying, maybe he would be crying because he realized he likes Dream back. That's never going to happen though, Dream slouched back into his chair.
"How did your talk with Sapnap go?"
"Fine." Dream said almost immediately
"It went fine."
"Hm okay"
"Why are you still in the call?"
"I didn't know if you wanted to talk after your conversation with him, so i stayed"
Dream felt light. George cared enough to stay, but he still didn't feel as if it was enough. George had turned his camera back on and smiled at the camera
"Dream i'm here for you if you need to talk..i don't like when you shut yourself off, i get worried" George's face turned pink.
Dream laughed and thanked George for his kindness and effort for being there.
"George you're so sweet" Dream whispered again
"Only for you" George again whispered back.
The night went on and they talked about other things, they talked about weird dreams George has had and Dream told him weird dreams Sapnap has had too.
Sapnap walked into his room at the end of their call
"Goodnight Dream, i'm leaving at 7AM, i'll see you in a week, tell Patches i'll miss her". Dream nodded. Right before Sapnap closed the door he yelled "Goodnight George!"
"Goodnight Sappynap!" George said while waving
"Dream i'm gonna head off now too, it's 11PM and should probably both get some sleep"
"Yeah youre probably right, Goodnight Gogy"
They both hung up at the same time.
Dream turned off his computer and got into bed, he felt his phone buzz and he picked it up
"Snapchat from Georgie 🥄"
Dream opened his phone immediately and opened his snap
"Goodnight Dream :)"
The picture was George's cat laying on his chest.
Dream stayed and looked at the picture for a moment.He never sends a smile after texts, so why put that there tonight? Even after he said they were just friends. Anytime George text him he has to stop what he's doing and admire it. It's not even rare for George to text Dream, they talk all the time but it makes Dream happy. Dream pulled back his hoodie to take a picture of his eyes and forehead and said "Goodnight Georgie :)".
Dream sends the snapchat. He puts his phone down, he turns on his tv and watches a show, he puts on Rick and Morty, to continue finishing where he left off. He noticed he finished half of a season, and he looked at the time
3:16AM
Dream opened his phone and saw George snapped him back.
12:12AM
"I hope you have a better dream, one where i'm not an asshole". The picture was a black screen.
Dream was confused on what George meant. Dream wished he could have a better dream, one where him and George could be together, but at the same time a dream like that would destroy Dream even more. He looked back down at his phone and took a picture of his face, he typed over it
"George what's that supposed to mean?". He put a sticker of a meme to try and cover some of his face as well. He's never showed George is full face before but he still sends him pictures. Dream sent the snapchat. As he swipped to go look at stories he saw George has opened it
He's awake!?
George left him on read for 5 minutes before Dream got a text from George
Gogy😺
"I mean i hope you start having better dreams, the dream you've been having seems to be putting you through pain". Dream was done holding back and he wanted to text George everything. He didn't know if it was the loss of sleep coming over him but he had to get it off his chest.
"Yeah the dream sucks, it puts me in an awkward position"
"Awkward position? How"
"Because the dream feels like it's implying one of us has feelings for the other, how am i supposed to act?". Dream regretting starting this conversation again. He felt sick to his stomach for the next response. Dream wonders why he hasn't heard a response yet. He puts his phone down and feels it's buzz seconds later.
Incoming call from Gogy😺
Dream picks up, his room was pitch black so he didn't have to worry about his face or anything.
"Dream, what the hell are you talking about?" George said
"Woah, no "Hey Dream" or anything?" Dream says with a laugh.
"Dream i'm serious, what are you trying to say here?"
"Nothing, i'm just saying that's what the dream felt like"
"Dream do you..." George whispered
"Do you...have feelings?". Dream felt like he was going to vomit, George said that in a tone like he was disgusted.
"What? no, where did you get that idea from?"
"Okay Dream, Night" George said
"Go-...Night" Dream said with a sigh. George hung up. Dream threw his phone, he don't care if it woke up Sapnap. He rolled over on his side and went to sleep.
-
"The conversation we had about us, were just friends Dream, glad we came to conclusion on that". Dream knew he was in a dream and he was sick of the same bull shit ending so he needed to tell George how he felt.
"No George, i never agreed on that. I like you, a lot. I want you by my side, and i know i can't because you live so far. You make my days so much better, and you keep me on my feet" Dream said while putting his hands in his pockets.
George just sat there, looking at Dream with a blank stare.
"Say something George, please..."
"No Dream"
"George" Dream whispered
George got up and walked away.
Dream woke up in a cold sweat, he looked over at his clock and saw it was 4:58AM. He threw the sheets off his body. He was already mad at George and this dream made him even more mad at George.
Dream grabbed his remote and turned on his tv, he couldn't go back to sleep. He turned on Youtube and began watching videos.
He watched Youtube till he heard Sapnap open his door and head downstairs. Dream got out of his bed and followed being him
"Nooo Sapnap don't go" Dream said sarcastically and laughing at the same time
"Dream why are you awake?"
"Couldn't sleep"
"Go back to sleep man, you need it"
"I did get some sleep, just woke up earlier"
"Okay, we'll come have some breakfast then, and drink water-you're bad at that".
Dream drank a glass of water while Sapnap cut some fruit and bagels.
They both sat on the couch and talked about Sapnap seeing Karl will go.
"Yeah of course i'm excited! i get to see Karl my beloved". Dream laughed and said "Hey that makes one of us...oh sorry"
"Clay it's fine, just try and get your mind off of George and you'll be okay, if you need me-Call me"
"Okay father Sapnap i willll" Dream said while throwing his head back.
"Okay im going to get my suitcase and head out. Sapnap walked upstairs and back down with his stuff
"Remember, call me if you need me Dream, i'll see you next week". Dream and Sapnap hug before Sapnap bends down and pets Patches goodbye
"See you later girlie, keep an eye on Dream for me"
"Alright, get out of here, go see Karl".
With Sapnap leaving, Dream went upstairs and tried finding his phone from when he threw it the night before, he found it under his desk and found 5 text and 3 missed called from George. He places his phone back on the floor and walked away.
