Chapter I - The Call

"Alright then chat!! I'm going to end it here and head to bed so thank you all so much for watching! Bye! :D"

 'this channel is offline'

 Dream sighs. "Come here Patches, let's go get something to eat" he heads to the kitchen, grabs the cat food from above the fridge and puts it in Patches' bowl. "There you go" Dream slowly rubs patches down her back.  As he grabs the leftover pizza from the fridge his phone buzzes and he reaches down to his hoodie pocket. "1 new text from George," he reads.

This process happens every other day. Get off stream, feed Patches, make dinner, text George. A never ending cycle. Dream doesn't mind it though, as long as he gets to text George. Dream loves everything about him. From the big things like his personality to even the little sparks of brightness that fill the call when George joins the discord. There is just something about George that pulls Dream in. He just cant put his tongue on what exactly that thing is. 

Dream looks down to read the text sent from George:

"hey, why'd you leave the call so early? It's only like 7pm there, right?"

Dream starts typing, "i'm just really tired tonight nothing to worry about."

"oh ok, call me before you go to bed."

It had become a nightly thing. 'Before bed you have to call George' Something that went through his head every night. Every second of the day Dream was thinking about George. It's that wave of excitement when he joins a call. He loves Sapnap but he's never felt like this for any of his friends. Maybe George is...more than that?

~~~Sapnap~~~~~

Sap has been noticing something off about Dream. Surely Dream would tell him if something was wrong...right? I mean, they've been friends for years now. He would tell him...right? 

It was like Dream had suddenly dropped into this pool of thoughts, which happened often, but this time was different. 

"Is it something to do with me?" Sapnap told himself,

"No. NO. It's not don't tell yourself that. It's not true it's not true it's not true."

Constantly trying to reassure himself, Sapnap realized he may be in this hole as well. He misses the old calls, the old streams, the old nights. The chill times when time didn't matter, relationships didn't matter. It was just them against the world. 

Now it's always about the streams. Never any down time and when they did Dream never talked to them. Then back to the classic Sapnap mindset where he told himself it was his fault even though he knows it isn't. All he can do is wait for Dream to open up to him. 

"Time for bed I guess"

Sapnap's phone rings,

'Incoming call from: Dream'
