Chasing a Star

4 - A Ship Begins To Sail

*+*Back in time to a minute before George starts streaming*+*

*Dream*

I started to feel better after I woke up. Right now I'm sitting, propped up by some pillows.

I have one earbud in while watching random youtube videos.

Cassie and Bad are talking with people about my sleeping issues, the energy drink addiction, and other stuff.

I see something and click on it. It's me giving George my hoodie. The title is "Who is this man?? Why did Dream give the hoodie to him?!"

I just swipe the video away.

I scroll for a while, when I get a twitter notif.

I tap it. George is streaming on twitch. He's a streamer?

I click on the link. He's welcoming the viewers, then explains what he's doing.

I put in the second earbud, tilting my phone so it takes up the whole screen.

He interacts with the chat a lot. They ask about his blue hoodie, and he explains how he lost it.

Then someone asks about my hoodie. George looks down "This is green? It looks piss yellow to me. Has Dream been wearing green this whole time??"

I start laughing. Then I stop. George is colorblind?

Chats freaking out.

George admits it's my hoodie, and they freak out more, so he threatens to ignore them.

He focused on the game again.

Bad taps my arm "Dream?"

I pull out one earbud "Yeah?"

"They said you'd be ok, but you can't drink more than one energy drink a day. And don't you dare mix a bunch of them together to get around the one drink rule!"

I sit up more "I won't."

"Good. They also said you need to rest for today. Sapnap will be staying with you at the hotel while Skeppy, Cassie, and I go do some of the stuff the fans wanted so they'll be a bit happier, alright?"

I nod. "Sounds good."

I climb out of the bed. Bad helps me walk over to the car. Cassie drives us back to the hotel.

Sapnap takes me up to my room. I lay down, still watching George's stream.  He's smiling and messing around with the stacks of cows.

I smile. I was actually able to sleep for longer than thirty minutes when I had the dream with him.

Is that why I saw the fireflies? There's something special about him.

I take off the mask, reattaching the other piece and setting it on the nightstand.

I open twitter. Why did I do that?

I find myself writing a dm to George, asking if he has discord.

I hear George on stream get the notif, then hear a quiet "Holy shit."
