    Summary

    There are a lot of things George hates about the new barista, Dream:

    1. He sucks at brewing espresso.
    2. He's, like, distractingly hot, in the way that makes George want to slam his head into the espresso machine.
    3. He's got a thing for using pick-up lines on customers — and George.

    The worst part is, the pick-up lines are starting to work. George wants to kiss him.

    He hates it.

    Summary

    Later, when Dream checks Twitter in the safety of his own bed, he sees the photo of George and Sapnap. He sees his hoodie on full show, broadcasted like a damn trophy. Then, after, he sees the video. He sees himself, looking past the camera, dazed and awestruck and positively in love.

    He reads the replies to the tweets. Some are ooh-ing and aww-ing over Sapnap, even though he has drool down his chin and crust in his eyes. Some are fawning over George’s hoodie because they know, but that’s not even the worst part. The worst part is the response to the video. The worst part is every single reply that says he’s so whipped; that says he’s in love.

    Stupid, stupid, stupid.

    He’s so fucking stupid.


    dream has always liked george, even when there were screens and oceans separating them. that crush is nothing compared to the way he felt after george moved to florida. dream saw him in person, and he fell. so, so hard. it's been months, and dream still hasn't hit the ground.

    Summary

    “You’ve lost, like, a third of your games so far.”

    “You follow our sport?” Dream asks, pulling his shirt over his head. That obnoxious smile has returned to his face, but it looks more flattered now – genuine and only a little bit sleazy. George wants it gone.

    George shifts his weight. “I follow every sport.”

    “I’m touched, Georgie.”


    after a season of conflicting games and locker room arguments, it's safe to say that the captains of manberg university's soccer and football teams hate each other.

    Summary

    It’s been eight months since George and Dream lost contact. Too many fans, too many edits, too many shrines and brand deals and people with wide eyes, looking into their souls with the expectation of perfection and paragons of human existence and finding something more real, less pretty. Too much to handle.

     

    Chelsea Hodson once said that suffering feels religious if you do it right. Dream can’t remember the last time he was happy. He doesn’t want to.

     

    There’s a kind of comfort in the sizzling sadness that bares its teeth and bites. There’s a kind of comfort in George’s face that he can’t find in humans or edits or shrines, something ungodly and religious. The kind of comfort that only poems and music and promises of "I’ll always be here" and "I wanna be yours" and "If my wishes came true, it would've been you."

     

    It’s been eight months since George and Dream lost contact and it’s been two minutes since Dream saw his face on a dimly lit screen and realized that Chelsea Hodson was right.

     

    Inspired by Taylor Swift's "Folklore" and "Evermore".

    Summary

    George is standing by his window in the kitchen the next morning when he gets the idea again.

    It’s just a repeat of all the other ideas he’s been having, so he doesn’t know why it’s today that the idea sparks some sort of ignition in his mind. It sends the familiar roll of anxiety through his body, a sharp hot-and-cold shiver crawling down his spine.
    George bites his tongue between ivory teeth, his stare into the sunny street hardening.

    -- + --

    Or; George has something that they want to tell their friends. And the entirety of the internet.
