Again?

Summary:

Living with dream definitely has its struggles, the main one is having to listen to dream and george pining after eachother. So to get away from it where else would he go other then punz?

-

“Again,” Sapnap speaks blankly into the phone.

“What?” Punz replies.

“They are fucking flirting again punz, I’m gonna lose my mind. They aren’t even in the same country, yet it’s unbearable.” He speaks while falling onto his bed with a loud huff. He lays in the middle of his unmade bed rolling his eyes because even through the walls he can hear dream taking.

Notes:

Sorry if there are any mistakes I spent 2 hours editing and it took me a week to write this :,)

“Again,” Sapnap speaks blankly into the phone.

“What?” Punz replies.

“They are fucking flirting again punz, I’m gonna lose my mind. They aren’t even in the same country, yet it’s unbearable.” He speaks while falling onto his bed with a loud huff. He lays in the middle of his unmade bed rolling his eyes because even through the walls he can hear dream taking. 

Silence passes for a moment before punz speaks. “You can always come over to mine to get away from them ya know.”

“You don’t even have a fucking couch. Plus I’m at your place like every day.” Sapnap laughs as he sits up, stretching before deciding he has no reason to be up in the first place. He flops back down, closing his eyes for a moment.

Whatever dream and george have got going on is absolutely annoying the shit out of him. Don’t get him wrong, he loves them of course. But they are so fucking oblivious it’s actually stupid. And now he has to deal with watching the two be in love and pinning over each other and god is it ever cheesy. 

“Okay, well why don’t we hop on val or something or am I just gonna have to deal with you mopping all damn day.” An annoyed tone already hinting in punz voice. Sapnap can hear him shifting around and opening valorant seeing as he was already at his computer, probably editing or just watching stupid shit.

“Fine, maybe I'll play with you. Only if you ask nicely though.” Sapnap teases, as he gets back up. Already preparing for the oh-so-far walk to his desk that lies 5 feet away. 

Beep. Suddenly he’s immersed in silence before he scrambles to call punz back. He practically runs to his computer because no way he’s gonna sit here and deal with his roommate by himself. He just has to drag punz into everything. 

His computer doesn’t seem to get the memo he’s on a time crunch apparently, he turns it on before he even sits in his chair and beholds he needs to update it. Looks like they won’t be playing val right now, so the only option instead of waiting maybe 10 minutes at most for it to update, is for him to show up at punz’s place of course. 

All he needs is his hat and keys so he scrambles around his room for a moment, puts on his shoes; and quickly contemplates bringing one of his many skateboards before deciding to just leave it. 

As he walks down the hallway he’s immediately met with the cold air because dream likes to keep the house at what feels like -50 and my god is he glad for punz warm apartment, sure it’s small but he doesn’t think anything can ever beat the feeling of a warm cozy apartment. And punz being there is a plus kinda, when he thinks about it. 

Thankfully punz lives close by otherwise sapnap knows he’d be far too lazy to make this drive practically every day. It’s a short 10 minutes that passes by with ease as sapnap now knows the route by heart, and the bright sky makes for a pleasant view. He doesn’t know what he’d do if punz didn’t move to Florida. He’d probably be bored out of his mind which most likely would have made him stream more but eh, he would rather be out of the house than stuck at his desk for hours at a time. Editing though- is something he might have to do more often. 

He finds himself already at the apartment quickly parking in his usual spot. He double checks all his doors are locked and pulls out his phone before stepping out of his car, he calls punz as he walks to the door of his building. 

“Dude I’m not playing val with you anymore.” Punz speaks, as sapnap can quite literally hear him do something on his computer which is most like playing valorant. Of course punz only suggested playing because he wanted to. 

Sapnap has almost reached the building door, the sound of gravel crunching under his vans is all that can be heard for the brief moment of silence. 

“I didn’t call you to play, open your door nimrod.” 

“I hate you.” A beat of silence passed before sapnap can hear him getting out of his chair abandoning whatever he was doing beforehand and walking out to make his way to the lobby. He quickly hangs up the phone knowing the other will let him in. He can see punz walk down the stairs towards him, he didn’t even bother to put on shoes, or a shirt for that matter and looks like he just rolled out of bed. It’s 1pm what is wrong with him sapnap thinks. 

Punz opens the door with such a stupid grin plastered on his face, “you love me don’t you.” He chuckles as the two make their way up the stairs. 

“Yeah sure whatever floats your boat shirtless.” Sapnap grumbles, unfortunately for him he nearly trips up the stairs. He may have been a little too focused on punz reaction to his comment to look where he was going.

Punz immediately stops in his tracks and let’s out a laugh that sapnap is sure woke them entire fucking building up. He just fast walks to punz’s door waiting for the other to catch up but he’s still on the stairs doubled over from laughing. He looks so stupid in nothing but pyjama bottoms losing his mind now in the middle of the hallway because somehow; he had managed to walk closer to the door, but still too slow for sapnaps liking. 

“Dude it wasn’t even that funny.” Sapnap wants nothing more to get into the stupid apartment because he’s scared shitless some old person will come out of their apartment yelling at them to shut up.

“I know, but the fact it was you just makes it fucking hilarious.” Punz says finally making his way to the door and letting them inside. 

Here he is again in such a familiar place that honestly he should just call home by now, maybe he should buy a fucking couch just so he has somewhere to sit other then a chair. He quickly walks to take the most comfortable chair as he is the guest so therefore he should get the better chair, it’s just sound logic. 

“Take off your shoes, you animal.” Punz practically yells from behind him. 

Sapnap immediately jumps because he doesn’t remember when punz got so close. He's about half way to punz’s desk which resides in the living room, he has the chair in sight but decides maybe he should do what he’s told so punz doesn’t kick him out when he only just arrived. 

“I don't remember you being a neat freak.” Sapnap retorts, with as much disobedience as he can even though he took about 2 seconds to listen to the other. 

Punz just scoffs in return and from the corner of his eye he can see that asshole takes the best chair when it was so clearly meant for the guest. Sapnap quickly takes off his shoes not even bothering to put them in the shoe mat which he knows he’s gonna get bitched at later for but he’ll deal with that when the time comes, probably won’t be until he’s leaving anyways.

He immediately walks over to punz and stands in front of the blonde and prepares his whole speech for how punz gets that chair all the time and frankly sapnap should be allowed to not have to bust his ass by sitting on the foldable chair that you’d literally find in a school assembly. But before he can even form a word he notices how punz is simply staring at him smirking, because this encounter happens pretty much everyday. 

He studies him for a minute, punz is still shirtless, crossing his arms and just waiting for sapnap to open his mouth so he can shoot him down. He decides to go with his usual tactic of just fire on fire. It’s simply how they work, you expect to find sapnap and punz having a light hearted conversation? They would much rather be arguing over something stupid, just trying to one up each other so they can have the glory of being right. They’re whole friendship is based on one-upping each other, and maybe that’s what makes them work so well.

“You gonna go put on a shirt?” After about a minute of silence, nothing but a staring contest; that’s what sapnap decide on. And okay maybe he feels a little stupid for it because this is literally punz’s apartment and he doesn’t care if he’s wearing a shirt or not anyways.

Punz's eyebrow raises, and if sapnap didn’t know him so well he would have thought potentially he was thinking about getting up. But that stupid smirk still remained on his face.

“That’s all you got?” Punz speaks, “I really thought maybe you would have finally said something worth getting this oh so comfortable chair.” He laughs while stretching as fair as he can, trying his absolute best to hold this above sapnaps head. He can already visibly see the frustration in sapnap, from the way his body tenses so slightly, to the way he’s rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet. Sapnap is just always such an open book for him to read.

Sapnap knows he’s getting nowhere with his usual approach so a new tactic maybe will do the trick. He loosens his body, trying to convey as much as he can with his body without having to sound like he’s literally whining. But he really wants the fucking chair. he stucks up his pride, and as softly as he can muster; which isn’t very soft but it’s definitely a difference from their usual banter. He utters one word that he and punz rarely use with each other. He even makes sure to open his eyes just a tiny bit more as he says it.

“Please?” Silence .

Noticeably punz is taken aback, but only got a second before he has that look, he’s crossing his arms and cocking his eyebrow. 

“Please have the chair? Or for me to put in a shirt? Come on sap you have to use your words.” His tone was as teasing as he could make it. 

Absolutely not sapnap thinks. His face immediately going hot with embarrassment, he tenses and immediately turns around. Walking wherever, just away from punz in that moment. He's used to that flirty tone punz uses while they’re playing a game or arguing over the phone. Punz rarely ever uses it in person, but every time he does sapnap gets way to fucking embarrassed to do anything. As much as they put up that fire on fire front in front of other people, and as much as sapnap tries to keep it up when there alone. He wears his heart on his sleeve whether he wants to or not. Punz just always knows how to get to him. Don’t et sapnap wrong, he’ll still try his best to put up a fight, but for whatever reason punz always fucking wins. Sapnap is not letting him have that victory today, so walking away from the situation as a whole is what’s gonna save him. 

Before he can get further than a foot away from the blonde punz is grabbing his arm and for the second time today is absolutely losing his shit. They’re definitely gonna get a noise complaint from neighbors soon. Sapnap reluctantly turns his body around to now face him, it makes it even worse that he is just looking at his shirtless torso. He debates whether this is a better view than having to raise his head slightly to look at punz’s face, he’s still laughing by the time sapnap raises his head. 

“Shut. up.” Sapnap grumbles, quickly averting his eyes the moment punz tries to look at him. Punz can practically feel the heat coming off of the shorter, and his face is just absolutely priceless; he doesn’t think he’s ever seen him so red. 

Punz drops sapnaps arms which subconsciously makes sapnap look at the taller. 

“Go sit down, I’ll find us a movie or something to watch.” Punz laughs as he walks past the other in the direction of his bedroom. 

“Where are you going?” Sapnap asked as he turned his body to face the other who was still walking away. 

“To put a shirt on, I'll be back in a second!”

Sapnap thinks maybe he should tell punz he doesn’t have to put a shirt on, it’s his house after all. But then realized he doesn’t even want to think about all the teasing that would result in him saying that. Of course all punz would take from that is that sapnap wants him to remain shirtless for whatever reason punz will think of. Which knowing his ego he’ll probably think sapnap finds him hot or something, which of course he doesn’t. So sapnap bites his tongue and finally gets the damn chair. 

He ends up scrolling through tik tok for a few minutes because of course punz takes forever to do anything. He hears movement and turns his head to see punz, now fully clothed with a huge grin walking towards him. 

“Marvel marathon?” He asks as soon as he reaches sapnap. Turning his head slightly to the side because he already knows sapnap will say yes. 

“How long do you think I'm gonna be here for? I don’t think we’ll have time for an entire marathon of marvel.” Sapnap laughs. 

“Stay the night then?” Punz asks hopefully that the other will spend the night so they can just fuck around all day, maybe even stream. He doesn’t even think sapnap has slept over once yet, and considering he’s here basically almost everyday it’s a surprising realization. 

“Where would I sleep? The floor?! Your ass doesn’t own a couch.” Listen he loves punz truly, but no way he’s sleeping on the floor for him. 

“Okay we'll get a couch soon. So when I have a couch then will you sleep over? Maybe stream because you literally haven’t in like 2 weeks.'' Punz laughs at him, sapnap did make a point about him having nowhere to sleep. But of course he won’t make him sleep on the floor of all places, He has a giant bed and doesn’t mind sharing.

“Yeah sure, if you buy a couch i’ll sleep over and fuck you i stream often.” He retorts, he does stream, uploading not so much.

The two end up laughing about their shitty streaming schedules before finally starting the movie. When punz said marathon he really meant it, they ended up getting sucked into about 5 or 6 movies and only when sapnap managed to have a moment of clarity and look away from the tv did he notice the fact that it was suddenly dark outside. Then when he pulled out his phone to see it was nearly midnight he audibly gasped. 

“What's wrong?” Punz asked while turning his body away from the screen to face the other. Only to see sapnap illuminated by the glow of the tv and nothing else, even punz himself was a bit taken aback. How fucking long had they been staring at his tv for.

Now of course sapnap is used to staying over at punz’s late, he’s had many times where the two just lose track of anything and he doesn’t come home until the sun is rising. Even though he stays in bed till about 5pm half the time he absolutely loves the drive and watching the sun rise no matter how tired he is. Sometimes he’ll even purposely stay at punz’s so he can see the sunrise from his apartment, half the time punz has already passed out and gone to bed. Sapnap thinks by now he should at least get a key to the others place, but he knows if he asked he’d probably ask him to start paying rent too. 

“Holy fuck im tired.'' Sapnap mumbles as he stretches, letting out a groan as he does so. Not bothering to even move his body back into the position it was before, he just ends up staring at the ceiling, he almost closes his eyes before hearing punz speak, he reluctantly moves his head to look at the other. 

“Then go home nimrod, I guess we can continue this another day. Since you’re leaving me.“ Punz tries his best to fake annoyance in his voice; but all pretending to be mad goes out the window once he lets out a yawn. He didn’t realize how exhausted he was until now. 

Sapnap just laughs and the two say their goodbyes but not before sapnap gets one last comment in. 

“And if you had a couch I'd be spending the night.” He says while walking out of punz’s apartment, sure he may have been embarrassed beyond hell today but at least he got the last word in.

Sapnap makes his way down the familiar stairs and out the lobby door. He’s immediately hit with the cool night air, which he’s eternally grateful for considering it’s Florida after all. He walks to his car and takes the route home, making sure to enjoy the ride as much as he can by rolling down his windows and blasting his favourite song. 

Sapnap tries his best to be as quiet as he can when reaching his front door, it’s not even midnight so he’s like 99 percent sure dream is still awake. But just on the safe side because he doesn’t want to be an asshole who wakes his roommate up, and dream is absolutely terrifying when he’s woken up. 

He unlocks the door and gently shuts it behind him, deciding before heading up to his room he’d make a quick trip to the kitchen because he and punz may have been too distracted by the movies to even think about ordering food. 

The moment he turns the corner, just on the other side of the island bar he can see dream rummaging through the fridge, he’s probably been on the phone with george and just like sapnap completely forgot to get something to eat. 

Sapnap stops, now just standing right outside the kitchen because he didn’t want to scare the other. But before he can even open his mouth to let him know he was there dream turns around and practically jumps. 

As much as he tries he can’t hold in the laugh that overwhelms him, dreams face was absolutely priceless. Okay maybe he does understand punz’s reaction from earlier. 

“What the fuck is wrong with you?!” Dream asks while closing the fridge door. Thankfully he didn’t drop the carton of milk he was holding otherwise he would of sent sapnap out to find some more no matter the time. He swiftly turns his back to sapnap and walks towards the counter where he already had a bowl of cereal filled, as he’s pouring in the milk he can still hear sapnap practically howling behind him. He contemplates throwing his precious bowl of cereal before deciding that would be too much of a waste. 

“Were you over at punz’s again?” He asks trying to make conversation after sapnap scared the shit out of him. 

“Yes.” Sapnap laughs, still not over scaring the other. “Where else would I have been.” He says, not as a question but more as a statement, because there really isn’t an answer as to where else he would even be. 

“You’re always over there.” Dream scoffs, “I'm your roommate you know?” He says lightheartedly. 

“Yeah we’ll you’re literally always taking with George.”' He retorts. Not in a mean way, of course the two are always talking. They’re just infatuated with each other which sapnap guesses is cute or something. 

“What?” Dream says, sounding a little surprised. He wasn’t expecting sapnap to say that, is that really why he’s over at punz’s so often. Has he been a bad friend?

“Not in a bad way!” Sapnap spits out as fast as he can, the last thing he wanted to do was to make dream feel bad about it. “You two are just so clearly like, in love with each other dude. Of course you guys are just always gonna be talking with each other. It's also kinda annoying because it’s just so, like, wholesome I guess. But it’s really nice to hear you guys be so happy.” Sapnap says softly. 

Eyes darting away from the taller, he awkwardly shifts at his feet and fidgets with his hands as it feels like the silence between them is swallowing him whole. 

“George isn’t in love with me sap, what are you talking about?” 

He's never heard dream sound so confused in his life. He knew dream was oblivious at times but oh my god this is a whole new level. He can’t even try and hide how he feels about dreams dumbness. He laughs, not even uttering a word, just laughing. 

He looks to see dreams face still drawn with confusion. Oh my god, I'm gonna have to spell this out for him. He thinks.

“Dream?” He asks, waiting for a response.

“Yes?” 

“George is completely and utterly in love with you. Have y-“ Before sapnap can even begin to explain to the himbo in front of him he’s interrupted. 

“No he’s not.” Dream retorts, not even bothering to let him finish his sentence. No fucking way george is in love with him, it’s the most far fetched thing he’s ever heard in his life. 

“Clearly i’m gonna have to explain, a lot. So why don’t we move to the couch.” Sapnap offers. Dream looks at him with confusion but compiles. The two make there way over to the couch. They end up sitting criss cross on opposite ends of the couch facing each other and sapnap is ready to be the best wingman known to man.

“Okay before we start don’t interrupt me.” He shoots dream a look but he just nods. 

“George is in love with you dream. The way he looks at you whenever you two are on call, the way his literally laughs at everything you say no matter how fucking dumb. How the moment you so much as change the tone of your voice he stutters, yet I can flirt with him all I want and all he does it be annoying back. You two are on the phone always, you guys sleep call, have synced sleep schedules even though you’re on opposite sides of the world. I've never heard or seen george care for someone as much as he does you.” Sapnap finishes nearly out of breath from his rant. 

He just studies dream, the other remaining silence, trying his best to process it all. It’s like sapnap can practically see the gears turning in his head. From the way his body tenses, his furrowed eyebrows and his eyes darting around at nothing. A bit more silence passes before sapnap can physically see dreams realization. 

Oh .”

“Yeah.” Sapnap laughs. 

“I- oh my god you’re right sap. I gotta go, I'm gonna go call him I-.“ Dream nearly trips getting up practically scrambling to his room. “I promise I'll make more time for you also, I'm sorry if we don’t do much together.”

“Dream, it’s okay dude. You’ve been pining over him for so long. Please just let it end, go call him and make sure to tell me all about it tomorrow yeah?” Sapnap says softly, still sitting on the couch, the biggest smile on his face. He's really happy for them.

“Thank you, I love you.” Dream says fondly, he doesn’t know what he’d do with sap.

“Love you too.” Sap says.

With that dream is practically running up the stairs.

Sapnap chuckles to himself watching the taller act like a lost puppy. After a moment of contemplation sapnap decides he’s had enough excitement for one day and is going to fucking bed. He very much wishes he could just sleep right where he is on the couch but he knows his bed is like 10 times more comfortable, so reluctantly he gets up. He makes his way to the stairs, he grips the railing as he makes his descent because he does not feel like falling for a second time today. 

Once he gets to the top he makes his way to his room in order to get ready for bed, and his definition of that is brushing his teeth and changing his clothes, so really there’s not much to it. After he’s done those two things he gets into bed; sometimes he closes his door but other nights he rather leave it open a crack incase patches decides to join him. He loves nothing more then when that happens because he gets to rub it in dreams face that patchy loves him more, plus he loves her so it’s a win win.

He can just hear the slight noise of dream talking through the walls, but he can’t be mad at it this time. He's just so happy for the two of them, and with that sleep quickly finds him. 

Unfortunately for sapnap he forgot to close his blinds, so he’s practically woken up a dawn with the sun trying to blind him. He loves the sunrise but not like this. All he can manage to do is groan. He refuses to open his eyes, but after about two minutes he quickly decides he isn’t getting back to sleep soon, no matter if he closes the blinds or not. A fact about sapnap is that when he wakes up or is woken up, it's practically impossible for him to go back to sleep. 

Begrudgingly he manages to roll out of bed in an attempt to do something interesting today. He doesn’t know what that will be, or if he’ll even leave the house. Most likely he’ll stream, or try to edit if he can. As he gets out of his bed he walks over to this bathroom to brush his teeth, the bathroom light also deciding to blind him this morning. 

Once he's finished he makes his way to the kitchen looking for something to eat for breakfast, he doesn’t know what but he’ll figure it out. 

As he reaches the bottom of the stairs he’s met with the sight of dream feeding patches and he can’t help but notice the fact dream is basically beaming. 

“Looks like it went well?” Sapnap asked, his voice still heavy with sleep. 

“You could say that.” Dream smiles, he’s literally lighting up the room. 

“Go on?” Sapnap speaks and he makes his way into the kitchen to figure out what he's going to eat.

“We're dating”. Dream says, sounding breathless at the fact.

Sapnap's back is turned towards dream as he enters the kitchen, but the moment he hears those words he smiles the hardest he thinks he has in his life. He immediately abandons all thought of breakfast and swiftly turns around and walks toward dream. 

He immediately pulls dream into the tightest hug he can and dream just laughs and hugs him back. 

“I'm so happy for you” Sapnap mumbles into dream. Trying his best to not fall over because he is in-fact standing on his tippy toes. 

The two let eachother go before dream speaks.

“I can’t thank you enough sap, I can’t believe how stupid I was.” He laughs, one thing about dream; maybe it’s just because he’s a leo. But it’s so hard for him to admit he was wrong about- pretty much everything. So upon hearing this sapnap immediately wants all the details of how the confessing when. 

Now sapnap is not a noisy person per say. But this one time he can make an exception. 

Dream just rolles his eyes, he knew sapnap would want to know everything. So he doesn’t even utter a word and just motions for the other to follow him to the couch. 

Sapnap practically follows him like a lost puppy. The two sit down in the same spots as last night. 

“Okay so” dream starts, sapnap fully engaged and honestly waiting for any moment where he can use this to embarrass either dream or george. 

“Well I immediately called him without thinking,” 

“Of course you did.” Sapnap quickly interrupts. 

“Interrupt me again and i won’t tell you a thing.” Dream speaks, and sapnap shuts up instantly. 

“Okay right so I didn't really plan what I was going to say. So I Just started off with “hi” and then felt like I was gonna throw up when I realized I should just like idk confess.” Dream pauses for a minute just to laugh at his stupidity, his face already read with embarrassment. “And then I just told him that I had something important to tell him and I didn't even ease into it either. I just straight up said “I love you” and he just kinda went quiet. And it was quiet for a solid 10 seconds.” The two both laugh. 

Sapnap looks back up to dream after practically cackling and watches the taller play with his hoodie strings before continuing.

“And then george asked me “what” and laughed cause I think he thought I was joking or it was a prank. So I said it again!” His face turning an even brighter red. “And then I told him I wasn't joking and how you helped me realize that I think he feels the same and then he just said “I do feel the same”. So we did talk a bit more about everything in depth and then he asked me to be his boyfriend, and obviously I said yes” Dream finished and avoided eye contact with the other. 

“He asked you out? Oh my god.” Sapnap laughs, “I’m holding this over you forever.” 

“Oh fuck off.” Dream gets up, trying to shake off the heat from his face. “I’m gonna go make breakfast, you coming?”

“Absolutely, i’m starving.” Sapnap follows him to the kitchen, noticing patches has finished her breakfast and is now following them. 

“Who said I was making your ass any?” Dream chuckles, of course he’s gonna make sapnap some too. But didn’t stop him from joking about it.

Sapnap quickly gets comfy at the island bar and just watches dream gather all the ingredients for some omelet’s. 

“I’m so happy for you dude, but this doesn’t mean you're allowed to be on call with him even more than normal.” Sapnap says to break the comfortable silence that has fallen over the two. 

Dream just chuckles, “What are you jealous?” 

Sapnap laughs. Not his usual laugh, this one is more awkward? Weird. Even he doesn’t quite know why. Is he jealous? No, not of them. He's so happy for them. Why does he feel like this though? 

“Sap?” Dream asks, a bit concerned. He walks over to him so that they’re across from each other. 

“I’m not jealous of you and george, jeez don’t flatter yourself that much. i love you both but not in that way.” Sapnap shuffles his hands, feet, whole body. He doesn’t know why he feels like this really. Which is odd considering he wears his heart on his sleeve. 

“Okay so what’s wrong?” Dream asks taking a seat, showing as much as he can that he’s listening and that he’s here for him.

“I-“ Sapnap’s mouth goes dry for a second before he can finally get the words. He also really wants to curse himself for being so easy to read apparently.

“I guess it’s just like now that you two are together I’m alone, like not actually but like relationship wise. I never even really cared about relationships so I don’t know why it’s bugging me now.” Sap laughs, avoiding eye contact. 

“Do you maybe like someone?” Dream asks while reaching for sapnaps arm so the other will look at him. 

“What?” sapnap asks, shocked.  “No, who would I even like? The literal only person i talk to often other then you and george is-“

“Punz?” Dream says while raising his eyebrow with a seemingly knowing look. Which he doesn’t know anything clearly. He's just reading something wrong.

“Fuck no.” Sapnap says as quickly as he can get the words out, nearly stumbling on his words. “I don’t like punz, jesus dude.” He doesn’t like punz of all people. 

“Sure sure whatever you say.” Dream says while walking back to where he was planning on making breakfast. 

Sapnap just sighs and pulls out his phone to pass the time while he waits for the other. 

For god knows what reason he cannot stop thinking about what dream said. He doesn’t like punz, that’s his best friend so it’s just out of the question. He doesn’t have a crush on anyone he reasons. But that still leaves him confused as to why he is jealous at the fact dream and george are in a relationship. He wants that for himself. But not with anyone he knows so he just chucks it up to a stupid thought, because how is he going to want a relationship when he doesn’t have anyone he wants to be in a relationship with.

Sapnap is quickly pulled out of his thoughts by dream placing an omelette in front of him. Honestly he’s quite thankful for it. 

The two eat in silence for a few minutes, both either on their phones or watching patches. Only when they’re both finished with their food does dream speak.

“Wanna watch a movie?” He asks.

Sapnap stays quiet for a moment, he knows dream probably wants to call george right now. But the fact dream is making time for him just to do something as simple as watching a movie makes him really appreciate having dream in his life.

“Of course, but you pick.”Sapnap speaks while collecting they’re plates. He carries the plates to the kitchen while dream makes his way to the living room to find something to watch. Eventually they’re both on their living room couch once again. And somehow the movie dream chose was “hotel for dogs”. 

“Out of all movies?” Sapnap asks 

Dream just laughs and fixates his eyes to the tv.

Looks like they are really gonna watch this movie out of all things. 

…surprisingly sapnap really enjoyed rewatching the movie. 

“So?” Dream asks while yawning. Even though it was only noon.

“Okay so it wasn’t that bad.” sapnap laughs. He stretches his arms and legs and they were a bit sore from sitting in the same position for over an hour. He picks his phone up from the coffee table to see a text notification from punz.

punzo

dude guess what  

sap

?

punzo

wanna have a sleep over finally?

sap

no way you got a couch, send a photo right now i don’t believe you.

punzo 

you’re gonna gonna have to see it for yourself, i’ll be over in 10 minutes so hurry up.

The moment sapnap finishes reading the last text messages from punz, dream stands up.

“I’m gonna go lie down, I don't know why i’m so tired.” He laughs as he walks over to the stairs.

“Go call your boyfriend you loser.” Sapnap calls out before getting up himself so he can pack some things to bring over, because apparently he’s spending the night at punz’s. 

By the time he makes it up the stairs dream is entering his room, but not before yelling “Fuck off!” With a laugh and closing his door. 

Sapnap quickly walks to his room to grab his charger, and a comfy shirt to sleep in. He takes a minute to think about what else before deciding on a blanket because god knows punz would probably give him a shitty one. 

As he finishes packing he gets a text from punz letting him know he was down stairs. So sapnap quickly texts dream he’s spending the night, not wanting to bother him by going into his room. And he makes his way out the front door. 

Punz has parked a bit up the driveway facing the garage door, sapnap makes sure to lock his front door behind him before making his way over and getting into punz’s car. 

“How chivalrous of you.” Sapnap says. 

“Well only the best for you.” Punz laughs. 

Sapnap laughs, after a moment because for whatever reason that made his brain freeze for a second. 

Just like dream and sapnap, punz and sapnap also fall into comfortable silence in an instant. Yes they also have their banter but punz knows how much sapnap loves driving and just traveling anywhere in a car really. So he saves the banter for his place. 

Punz begins to reverse out of the driveway by checking over his shoulder and placing his right arm behind sapnaps head rest and oh

Sapnap quickly peels his eyes away because what the fuck he did not just think that was attractive. Dream is just getting into his head. He thinks the stupidity is rubbing off on him. 

He actually has to take a deep breath to calm himself. Punz doesn’t seem to notice which he is so grateful for. 

They begin the short drive over to punz’s and time passes with easie. Well maybe easy for punz, sapnap on the other hand not so much. But by the time they arrive he’s calmed down a bit and has decided to just stay calm today and to ignore any thought of what dream said. 

The two get out of the car and make their way to the apartment building, the familiar lobby coming into view. 

The moment they get to the stairs punz laughs at seemingly nothing before sapnap remembers last time he was here he tripped and punz absolutely lost his shit. 

“Don’t even start.” He grumbles while successfully walking up to punz’s floor.

“I didn't even say anything!” Punz calls back from behind him. 

The two get inside, sapnap for once remembering to take off his shoes and oh my god there’s a couch. 

Not just any couch, in sapnaps eyes punz seems like the guy to have the ugliest leather couch in existence. But what’s in front of him is a light gray suede couch which looks so comfortable. 

“It’s not ugly!” Sapnap speaks in shock. 

“What the fuck dude, I have good taste!” Punz retorts while making his way over and sitting down. Sapnap follows suit and it was just as comfortable as he imagined. 

“You have shit taste and you know it.” Sapnap laughs, while stretching out across the crouch, his head on the arm of the chair and his feet close to punz. 

Punz reaches for the remote to turn on the television and sapnap also notices he’s gotten a coffee table. 

“I know you aren’t gonna have your feet facing me for the rest of the night fucko.” Punz says suddenly. 

“Well I want to be comfortable so yes I am.” He’s the guest so only fair he thinks. 

“Okay you can be comfortable in a different way so sit up for a second.” 

Well sapnap is confused to say the least but he obliges. He sits up but not before sighing. Punz just motions with his hand for sapnap to turn around, but sapnap doesn’t understand how that would make sense so punz puts his hands on his shoulders and turns him around before learning him back so sapnaps head is now on his lap. Oh fuck. Sapnap immediately throws his whole speech about not listening to dream out the window because sapnap’s heart is racing. 

Okay so, sapnap is now coming to terms he could possibly have a tiny little crush on punz. Who’s lap he’s in right now. He doesn’t think he can take this, punz hasn’t even said a word. 

Distracted sapnap had been staring at punz the whole time and only now has he managed to look away and look at the tv. Since when did sapnap start the marvel movie again. 

He can’t do this, so without thinking like the dumbass he is; he abruptly sits up. 

His back is now facing punz and his heart literally feels like it’s gonna fly out of his chest. Normally with his crushes he slowly realizes but this one hit him like a fucking train. 

“Are you okay?” Punz asks him, his voice full of concern.

“I'm fine.” Sapnap replies in such a high pitch tone of voice he’s surprised that punz didn’t laugh. He suddenly feels a hand on his shoulder and he’s being spun around for the second time today to face the taller.

“Oh my god your face is so red, are you okay?” Punz says as he places his hand softly on sapnaps cheek.

Fuck . Sapnap can’t help but let his eyes drift to look at punz's lips for a moment. When he lifts his eyes he’s met with punz’s practically staring through him. He watches punz eyes glance down at his lips, his hand still staying firmly placed against saps cheek. 

In a short lived burst of confidence sapnap leans forward just a tad but stops himself. What if he’s reading this wrong, he doesn’t want to fuck up the friendship. 

He’s snapped out of it by punz placing his other hand against saps cheek and suddenly he’s leaning in. Sapnap barely has time to close his eyes before their lips are colliding. 

After a moment they pull away and sapnap lets out a shaky breath, punz’s hands staying firm where they are. 

“Holy shit took you long enough you idiot.” Punz laughs, his smile so bright. 

“What?” Sapnap is dumbfounded. So maybe dream isn’t the only oblivious one. 

Punz just leans in and kisses him again to really get the point across that sapnap is dumb and should of taken the hint like 20 hints ago. 

They pull away but sapnap can’t get enough of him and clearly punz feels the same. Maybe it’s the high he’s on right now of kissing punz, he just can’t help but say, 

Please ?” he’s asking for another kiss, in the softest tone the blonde has ever heard from him. A complete 180 from any of their jokes and banter. So who is he to object? He pulls him in again. But not before a remark of course. 

“Please sounds good on you.” Punz does that stupid little smirk as he says it.

Practically the moment he finishes his sentence lips meet lips and they practically melt into each other, sapnaps hands reaching and grabbing onto punz’s waist. 

One of the tallers hands making his way to the back of saps neck and soon they’re both gasping for air. 

The two look at eachother with the softest eyes, still catching their breath.

“Again?” Sapnap asks with a loopy grin.
