    Summary

    They met at a party— something Sapnap saw as an escape from reality in sporadic moments fueled by alcohol and highs— surrounded by vapid obstacles as they swayed and danced together, laughing and peppering hot kisses on pale flesh in between gasps of high and sips of Whiteclaw.

    Sapnap would, likewise, come to see parties as a metaphor for their relationship entirely.

    ___

    Or: They’re in love when they’re high and desperately trying to forget when they're sober.

    A spin-off, but can be read as a stand-alone.

    Summary

    “I could’ve,” Dream admits. “So many times.”

    Sapnap stays quiet a moment, and while Dream sniffles, the little girl in his lap turns, taps against his face like the tears are common. Dream kisses at her hand, promises her he is okay. He acts like nothing is wrong. Like Sapnap isn’t crying in front of him too, when he should be scolding Dream.

    “Why didn’t you?” Sapnap asks as he swipes the back of his hand over his nose. “I mean, not even George?”

    The mention of their other friend brings Dream into a new reality. Soft, brown, messy hair on his screen, a grin that laughs and cheeks that turn rosy any time Dream teases him. A light squeal into his headset at the late hours of the night, once Dream is alone in his tranquility. George, the rough paper that sands Dream down. Warm, fluffy bread. Fuck, Dream thinks.

    Dream decides to tell his friends about his daughter right before they move in.

    Summary

    So... Do you like girls? Or, do you like boys?

    Karl froze, pencil halting mid-word. His heart clenched coldly in his chest, and his eyes flickered over to Sapnap.

    Uhm...

    Sapnap's finger hovered over the skip button, and Karl begged him to just press it.

    I mean, uh... yes?

    Sapnap's hand fell away, and Karl grit his teeth. Shit.


    karl accidentally comes out to his best friend via song and proceeds to forget all forms of healthy communication. so he does the one thing he remembers how to do: he avoids.

    Summary

    George finds himself often brushing his fingers over those freckles until he realizes what he’s doing and withdraws entirely. He kind of wants to shove as much distance between them as possible so he can reject the thought that he’s falling.

    But he also doesn’t want that, admittedly. The soothing of everything in their busy lives at the placement of being tucked into his friend’s chest, it’s just too good. And if he did want to place a platonic wedge into their closeness, there’d have to be a conversation held.

    Because Dream is guilty of pressing close just as much as he is, he can’t one day go stiff at hands pulling at him. He can’t go back to sleeping alone.

    Summary

    Dream makes a stan account for fun. Join in on the community, start arguments, subtweet people you softblocked a few minutes ago. What could go wrong?

    Nothing, really. Well, aside from the spiral he enters after realizing that maybe gender isn't so black and white after all.

    — + —

    Or; gender through the eyes of the dream team.
    (It's gender time.)
