Work Text:
He was doing back flips in his mind. George and Sapnap had been hanging around him as much as possible as to not let him feel too down.
Not only does that mean more random funny things happening but apparently they can't seem to chill it down on the disagreements.
"No George I don't think Dream would agree with YOU!!"
I look over slightly at the mention of my name, I was definitely not paying attention I was daydreaming while we were sat on the couch watching a really bad thriller movie from the 70s.
I heard the soundtrack intensify and looked back over just in time to get jump scared. I jumped a little bit on the couch and the two idiots next to me laugh, not even slightly paying attention to the movie.
"So?" George says as if asking a question I look back over. "What?"
"Who is it?"
I feel my eyebrow crinkle "What do you mean who is it? What are you talking about?"
They both sigh in unison and I see George roll his eyes dramatically. Sapnap explains "Bro were you not paying attention? Who do you think is hotter me or George?"
I roll my eyes and chuckle a little bit in disbelief "What? What kind of question is that?"
Sapnap looks back over to George "He's cocky he thinks you're gonna say him."
I look over to George and I can see him scanning my face whilst pretending like I already said him with his hand raised waving to a nonexistent crowd like a princess.
I laugh a bit, "it's a dumb question." I roll my eyes and look back at the movie.
"That's not an answer Dream" George says.
I look back over and smirk at him, I see his face visibly redden for some reason.
"Y'all don't need my answer fight amongst yourselves." I get up and walk over to my room and shut the door yelling.
"GOODNIGHT!"
I honestly hated it when they put me in the middle of their arguments.
I woke up randomly that night to find them yelling at each other my brain was foggy but I tried to listen in.
"NO YOU ONLY BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE YOU THINK HE'S INTO YOU!"
"HE WOULD TOTALLY CHOOSE ME OVER YOU!"
"There's no way."
"Why is there no way" I heard Sapnap angry whisper back.
"Come on he's super-" and then the words turn into mumbles.
I hear Sapnap uproar back "I KNOW THAT!, AND he pretends like he isn't-" more mumbling.
I sigh I probably shouldn't be hearing whatever that conversation is.
I put in my earplugs and went back to sleep hoping it'd blow over and tomorrow I wouldn't have to deal with it.
Misfortune came knocking at my door in the form of Sapnap dressed up to the max. I opened my door yawning "What is it? Good morning."
"Wanna go to the store with me?" I looked down at him and saw him do a little turn for me so I can fully see the style he was wearing I rolled my eyes realizing what he was trying to do.
"You look nice" I say trying to play off how unsettled I felt at how serious he seemed to be taking his and George's argument.
I see his eyes crinkle with pride as he smiled way warmer than usual, "Yeah I knew you'd appreciate it. I put this style together myself" he seemed proud of himself.
I got a warm feeling in my heart. "It's nice when compared to your usual giant shirt with shorts. Like slacks and a blazer. You look fancy" he smiled again but with less conviction. I suddenly felt a bit guilty I didn't want him to not feel proud of his outfit it was cute honestly that he was so proud.
I smiled at him despite my feelings. "I-I do like it." I say trying to sound convincing but coming off more awkward than intended. I see his smile broaden as I looked down at my phone in my hand pretending not to notice his slight fist pump in the air. As if to say 'I got him'.
I slightly rolled my eyes. "So we going to the store or..." He nodded and walked off faster than normal to the door "Yeah I'ma go start the car."
I wrinkled my eyebrows "For what, I'm not even ready yet." He looked back at me with a business mans facial expression, "A beautiful man like you deserves a red carpet, a warm car, and a plate of your favorite foods and drinks waiting for you before you get into any car."
I rolled my eyes but I still felt my cheeks get warm from the embarrassment of him calling me beautiful. "Stop you're too much right now."
He winked at me and then turned back around and continued his trek to the front door. I stared after him but I felt my reverence for him get slightly stronger for some reason.
Idiot.
I turned to go back into my room when I felt a hand grab mines from behind.
I look up quickly to find George looking back. My visible shock probably scared him enough to retract his hand.
"GOD! you trying to end me, my heart can't take sneak attacks like that."
He laughs awkwardly and scratches his neck, looking away from me. I keep my eye contact.
"I heard you're going out with Sapnap."
"Yep."
His face suddenly changed to a bit more pouty
Which made me feel a warmth in my heart. He can be so dramatic sometimes.
"Why him? And not me?"
"What are you talking about exactly?" I ask sounding stupid, I knew it had something to do with the argument him and Sapnap had.
"Look at me" he says I look back up and into his eye. "Ok, now I'm looking, but I don't know why?"
It felt like he was searching my eyes for something. It made me uncomfortable, maybe vulnerable. So I looked away.
I felt him move closer but I knew he was still staring which only made me want to run back into my room and slam the door for some reason.
Then I felt him place his hand on my cheek and shift my head to look back at him. He looked a little sad for some reason but still pouty.
"What?" I ask again I hear a breath come from him as though he's about to say something but he stops himself.
He looks at the wall behind me and then back at me "Nothing" he then does something that feels strangely intimate. He moves his hand on my cheek down to my neck very gently and touches my collarbone moving my shirt down a bit as he does so.
I try to look down at what his hand was doing when I feel his other hand come up and grab my other cheek forcing my head back up to face him. I'm stricken by how calming this felt but also how strange it was.
It was like a switch shifted in his mind or something, he shuffled backwards giving me my space back and taking his hands off of my collarbone and face I can see his cheeks turn pink.
Confusing me because I should be the one embarrassed not him. "Sorry" he says as he walks away.
I shut my door and try to continue on normally as though that didn't just happen.
I meet Sapnap outside only to find what I would call a rave or something, happening. There were lights changing color and speakers that immediately started playing my favorite song when I walked outside. A red blanket was spread on the ground at the door to the car. I walked over feeling impressed but also confused.
"Uhmm how'd you do this in an hour?" He looks at me super dramatically which made me kinda want to laugh but I tried to play along he walked me over to a table of some foods. A bowl of ice, and banana pudding. I look at all of it still feeling confused but also incredibly impressed.
He walks up behind me and hugs me. "Grab what you want and let's go." He says I look back slightly at him feeling like a bald guy using shampoo. I was at a loss for what I actually was supposed to be doing in a situation like this. How proactive should I be in playing along with their arguments, should I force him to talk it out with George?
I sigh and walk over I grab a plate and cup feeling it with ice and some other snacks. The whole time he just kept staring at me. It felt odd but kind of sweet at the same time.
My emotions are conflicting too much recently which is confusing me just like all the weird stuff that's been happening today.
I feel him grab my cup and hold my hand I look at him to see him trying to guide me away we walk over to the car. He opens the door for me and gently let's go of my hand placing my cup in the place holder in the car.
He shuts the door and I know it's gonna be a long day. Basically the entire time we were at the store he kept treating me like a delicate flower, calling me beautiful, gorgeous, and handsome which honestly kept making me blush.
He even stroked my arm at one point. I felt overwhelmed by it all. Where had my crazy, yapping, overly angsty best friend gone.
At one point he walked up behind me and whispered "it's me isn't it. You'd choose me, we knew each other longer. I know everything about you."
I looked back at him only to find him making googly eyes at me. Further confusing me.
Later on in the afternoon I was taking my clean clothes out of the dryer when George walked by wearing nothing but a towel and I had to do a double take.
I might need to call a team meeting if this continues.
