When Dream met Sapnap in person, he didn't really feel that excited. He thinks that it's just because they have been friends for 10 years and talk almost daily.
When he picked him up from the airport, they hugged for like a minute, talk for a bit and they headed to the car. The ride home was noisy, Sapnap kept on ranting about the annoying baby from his flight and how the food wasn't good. When they arrived, Dream gave him a small house tour and let him rest in his own room.
It's an easy feeling, having your best friend in the other room just chilling. No need to bother or talk to each other, but you can still feel each other's company.
It was different when it comes to George though. Dream was so excited for his flight, he felt uneasy when he's waiting for George's update on how the flight was going or in how many hours is he gonna land.
Sapnap was at Karl's house and he's coming back in 2 days which means it was only Dream who'll pick him up.
Looking for George was easy it was the first in real life conversation that was hard. Their hug wasn't like that bro hug Dream and Sapnap did, It's more like a long distance relationship couple meeting for the first time hug. George's arms went around Dream's waist and his head was buried on the other's chest due to the big height difference. Suddenly, Dream felt the urge to kiss George's forehead but doing that would make the situation awkward.
The conversation was stupid, they didn't even understand what the other was saying because they were too busy admiring each other.
This time, the ride home was silent. Dream would ask random questions once in a while and George would answer with short sentences, that went on for a while until they arrived. And like always, Dream gave him a house tour and led him to his room to rest asking what he want for dinner before he go.
And just like that, Dream is back in his endless thoughts. Instead of laying down his bed scrolling through twitter, he was walking around the room like he was searching for something in his mind.
He wants to barge in George's room and talk for an hour.
He wants to take him in his room to cuddle until the sun sets.
Damn he even want to kiss his pink lips until it's swollen and red.
But why does he feel different? Why didn't he have this thoughts when it was Sapanap? Why can't he feel George's company when he's just 3 meters away from him? Maybe it's because fans ship them more than they do with Sapnap? Maybe this is just a mistake. Maybe he's not suppose to feel this way. Right. He shouldn't. So he continued invalidating his own feelings.
The next day were the same, none of them came out of their room. Both wanted to do something, probably talk for so long, stream together or just.... cuddle, feel each other's warm body. But why is there something keeping them away from each other?
Dream was starting to feel irritated, it feels like they haven't talked in weeks even when they just had breakfast together. He was staring at the ceiling thinking of something to say to the man across the corridor.
ugh you know what? fuck it. This silence is not staying for long.
He thought to himself as he stood up the chair. He walked out of his room and headed to George's.
The blonde man was about to knock when the door opened revealing the guy that's been making him feel uneasy.
"Uhmm hey? I was gonna... uh.. ask you to.. uh.. stream?" Dream said while rubbing the back of his neck
"no you don't, you have something else to say right?" George replied crossing his arms
He knew that there was something going on between them. George knew Dream so well, he know when he's lying or when there's something bothering him.
"no of course not, I wanted to play so uh.. why not stream too?" Dream reassured him
"you idiot I know you that much, something's bothering you" The shorter guy don't buy the other's bullshit
"okay whatever. So ever since you got here... I couldn't stop overthinking, this silence no I meant our silence... like you don't talk to me, you don't.... you don't get touchy with me like you said you will be and it's irritating how you could be so near yet so far" Dream said covering his face with his hands
"I was about to talk to you about that... we both know or feel that there's something between us right?" George asked
"you know I didn't expect this to happen, I thought we were gonna talk like how we did in discord, I thought seeing you in real life will make me stop wanting you all to myself but I was wrong, I didn't expect to.... to.. oh fuck" The blonde breathes "to fall in love harder" he finished
George didn't say anything instead he just went and kissed the taller, it was unexpected yet so endearing. The kiss was like a dream come true, it made Dream's mind finally calm down.
"So you feel the same way?" Dream asked still stunned with the sudden movement
"obviously? I couldn't even sleep last night just thinking about the tension between us" George replied
Turns out it wasn't only Dream who have been sleeping late due to overthinking. Dream smiled and grabbed George closer by the waist kissing him more.
They ended up talking things out and decided that they're gonna work on their growing feelings.
Sapnap is coming home to a big surprise.
