problems

chapter 5

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

+*+*+

"where were you, i was up all night. all night Dream.

"You don't remember."

"what? Dream where were you what are you talking about."

Dream stood there, Georges hands lightly placed on his shoulders. George had no idea. he had no idea about the fight, or the jealousy, or the kiss. the kiss. the feeling it gave Dream still traced his mind, lips and entire body.

George had gotten drunk, and now that chance of them being together would never emerge into something.

+*+*+

there was clear tension between the two boys. they sat in silence as they ate there cereal.

"fun birthday?" Dream asked, breaking the silence.

"it would've been much better if i could remember how fun it was." George rubbed his forehead, a frown on his face and his clout goggles over his eyes.

then the silence continued.

"hey Dream?"

"yup?" Dream mumbled between bites.

"what were you talking about earlier. what don't i remember?"

there was zero chance Dream was going to tell George what happened. it would ruin everything. maybe it was better that George didn't remember.

"uhm i have to go to the bathroom."

Dream got up from the table and hurried over to the door. George shook his head as he turned back towards his cereal.

+*+*+

it was around 11pm now. the boys had had TV dinners with George's family while they watched criminal minds.

Dream mostly scrolled through twitter, reading the several tweets about him being in England.

George's perspective

George knew he had fucked up. he had done something last night. Dream wasn't the same. he was distant, and the sad kind of moody.

George watched as Dream's phone screen illuminated his face, revealing his little smiles and giggles. He watched as Dreams face changed as colors of blue and green now covered his skin.

"whats that?" George asked, the rest of his family now off to bed.

"uhm-" Dream choked on his water, giving George an easy route to snatch his phone.

"no don't!' Dream whined.

"wow lover boy, didn't know you were that obsessed with me. the phone screen now shined on Georges face, showing a fan drawing of the two of them cuddling. in Georges bed. kissing.

"fuck you." Dream groaned before snatching the small rectangle out of Georges hands.

"just admit you wish that was real." George says, a grin now spreading across his lips.

"i wish that was real." a serious expression now on Clay's face.

"I'm only joking! you should see how red your cheeks are." Dream laughs as he flicks on the lights to see George more clearly.

George groans before whacking Dream hard with one of the couch pillows.

"you did not just-"

Before Dream can finish his sentence he stumbled back from the impact of another pillow hitting his chest. George laughs as Dream wobbles to the floor. the two boys start uncontrollably wheezing , hands clenched around there chests.

while George tried to calm his laughter, he was suddenly thrown onto the couch. he gasped, surprised at what just happened. they were both now on the couch, completely intertwined with each other.

Dreams arms were tightly wrapped around Georges waist, as his head lay in his chest. Due to his convenient height he easily tackled George to the sofa.

Dream chuckled as George groaned in pain.

"Clayyyy."

"who's laughing now huh?" Dream looked up, creating immense eye contact between the two.

anyone could see the illuminate glow between them, and the severe eye contact.

Georges smile broke as he stared deeper into Dreams eyes.

"Dream. i remember."
