Chapter Text
Dream laughed as the message at the bottom of the computer screen read: ‘GeorgeNotFound tried to swim in lava’. George grumbled complaints from the other end of the discord call and Dream let his gaze switch to the chat to see what they were saying about it.
“George, the chat is bullying you,” Dream laughed as George gasped in offense.
“It’s not funny! I lost 10 diamonds! You gave me those!” George let a curse word or two slip from his lips and Dream continued to wheeze at his friend.
“Chat, I know,” Dream said as the comments called George a noob for swimming in lava. Dream continued moving his own avatar in their Minecraft world on the Dream SMP. Nobody else was online because it was 5 am. George convinced Dream to do the stupid late (early?) stream. Dream was nearing the end of his stream so he decided to begin doing his farewells. George said goodbye to the chat too and Dream ended the stream.
“I can’t believe you let the chat bully me, Dream,” George’s frown could be heard clearly through the headset even though it was lighthearted. Dream left the server and leaned back in his chair.
“Well, I can’t disagree with them, they’re pretty smart people.”
“When we meet up I’m going to hit you,” George laughed and Dream chuckled before letting it die out as he thought. He did want to meet up with George, but he wasn’t sure if George wanted to meet up with him. They’ve talked about it before but they never actually followed through. Dream would be happy to host George for a week in his house, or George could stay in a nearby hotel. There was one thing though: George didn’t know what Dream looked like.
“Dream? You there?” George’s voice brought him back to reality.
“Oh- yeah, I’m here. I was just thinking, uh, maybe you’d like to meet up? To, ya know, hit me?” Dream said and the call went silent.
“You want to actually meet up?” George’s voice sounded genuinely curious. Of course Dream wanted to meet up with him! Why would he even question that? They’ve been best friends for the longest time and they still haven’t visited each other- haven’t seen each other.
Dream fiddled with his hands. “Yeah, I mean, if you want. I have extra room in my house but if you’d like there’s some hotels nearby and-”
“It sounds great, I’d love to visit,” George cut off Dream and Dream made a choking noise. He agreed? Did this mean they were actually going to meet up? And see each other? Actually hang out in person?
“You’re serious?” Dream’s voice fell quiet with hope and fear.
“Of course I’m serious, why wouldn’t I be? We’ve talked about it before, it’s about time we actually do it.” George’s smile was clear in his voice. Dream had to physically stop himself from screaming in excitement- George hears enough of his shouting during streams.
“Awesome, I can start planning-”
“Are we inviting SapNap?” George asked and Dream paused. He didn’t think of that and was kind of ashamed of himself for forgetting his other best friend. How could he forget about Sap?
“Yes, of course. Let’s talk about it later today, I need to catch up on sleep. Goodnight George.”
“Goodnight Dream.” George said and they both left the call.
