Turning Scarlet

Chapter 2: Secret

One day I was scrolling through Youtube and I saw someone named Dreamwastaken in my recommended. The title was, "Minecraft Speedrunner VS 4 Hunters REMATCH" It looked pretty interesting, so I decided to press play. I used to play Minecraft a lot when I was younger, so I kind of knew what was going on.

When this Dream guy started talking, I was shocked. Dream sounds exactly like Clay. I finished the rest of the video and then went straight to twitter. I searched up the Dreamwastaken hashtag and looked through it. I saw drawings, paintings, and tweets from Dream. But then I finally found something that said he hasn't done a face reveal yet. Someone said what some of his features were. They said that he was 6'3, has dirty blonde hair, and green eyes. I looked up on Google what his real name is and it turns out that his real name is Clay. I went back on Twitter and saw that he posted a picture of his eye on his own account. It was green with freckles. I know I gazed into those eyes when we kissed last night. I don't even remember it happening, but all of a sudden I was calling Clay. It's 12pm so he should be up by now.
"Hello?"
"Hi Clay, I have a quick question."
"Shoot."
"Um, okay. Have you ever heard of a guy named 'Dreamwastaken' on YouTube?" I heard him choke on his water.
"Do you know something?" I could hear his voice trembling.
"I'm not sure If I do, I'm just waiting to see if you'll tell me the truth or not."
"Okay well, it's kind of a long story, but yes, I'm Dream. You can't tell anyone though, I haven't shown my face yet."
"I know, I looked on Twitter."
"How did you find out?"
"One of your videos popped up in my recommended." Honestly, I was a little upset that he didn't tell me sooner, but at the same time, I felt special because none of his 9 million fans knew what he looked like, and I did. This honestly doesn't feel real. It's like he has a secret double life.

We talked about it for a while after that, and we've come to an agreement: I can't tell anyone that he is Dream, and my only request was to meet his friends. He said he could probably work something out. I don't really think that it's hit me yet. My boyfriend is famous and millions of girls are swooning over him.

A couple months passed by and his fanbase only grew more. He has 13 million subscribers now and today is the day I meet his friends. Clay came to pick me up and we drove over to his house. His desk looked so professional, I was fascinated. Clay called George and Sapnap and told them that he wanted them to meet someone. He loaded up the Dream SMP and I soon saw messages in the game that read:
Georgenotfound joined the game.
Sapnap joined the game.
"So guys, I would like you to meet Angie, my girlfriend."
"Girlfriend?" George and Sapnap said in unison.
"Hi!" I said cheerfully. "Nice to meet you guys!"
"Hi Angie, nice to meet you too." George said while crouching in front of Clay's character.
"Since when does Dream have a girlfriend?" Sapnap sounded confused as he punched George.
"Since December, so about 3 and a half months."
"And you didn't tell us?" Sapnap and George uttered simultaneously.
"Yeah sorry guys." I saw him suppressing a laugh. I playfully pushed him and his chair spun around. We were laughing and his friends were confused.
"Yo Dream." Sapnap called out.
"Oh sorry; hey Angie, why don't you play for a little bit?"
"Sure dummy." I said while messing up his wavy hair. I put on his headset which was too big for my head, and I heard him take a picture. I spin around in his chair and see him holding up his phone, trying to capture the moment of me playing minecraft with his friends. I blush immediately and he laughs.
"Smile, cutie!" I smile big while scrunching my eyes and while I'm not looking, he kisses my forehead, and as he was about to pull away, I get a grip of his jawline, pull him back in, and kiss him. I run my fingers through his hair, and his hands are on my face. We're suddenly interrupted by screaming coming through the headset.
"Oh my god guys we can hear that" George says abruptly. I pull away and slide back to his desk to play on the minecraft server. I can feel him looking at me from behind the chair. I look back and smile at him. He comes over, kisses my cheek and unplugs his headset so that we could both hear what they were saying.
"Angie, where are you?" Sapnap said.
"I'm at the community house. Where are you, George?"
"Oh I'm at the XP farm."
"Guys, meet at the community house." Dream announces. Soon I see name tags come into view that say Sapnap and Georgenotfound. I see their characters sprinting towards me, in full netherite armor. They both stop and crouch around me. I crouch too.
"So Angie, how did you find out that Clay is Dream?" George says.
"Oh, well, I was dating him, and then I was scrolling through YouTube and I see one of the manhunt videos on my recommended. I decided to click on it and watch it, and then I put the pieces together and figured out that Dream was Clay."
"Oh wow, you didn't know about him before?" Sapnap questions.
"No I didn't, and I even felt that that was weird."
"Dream I like her already." George expressed.
"Aww thank you, I like you guys too!" I crouch up and down and throw flowers to them.

After I met George and Sapnap, Clay made us some hot chocolate, and we sat outside on his porch. It was still a little chilly outside, despite it being dark out. Surprising for Florida weather. I cuddle up next to him on the outdoor couch while drinking my hot chocolate. He strokes my hair and hums a song gently in my ear. I realized that the song he was humming was i love you by Billie Eilish. I sit up immediately, pull out my phone, and turn on the song. I look back at him and see him smiling. I lean in to hold his cheek, his face is warm and pink.
"Look who's blushing now." I giggle and take another sip of my hot cocoa.
"I bet you're blushing too."
"You know me so well." I smile and he leans in and kisses me. Clay and I stayed outside for an hour or so, and then we went back in at around 11pm.
"Do you know what would be fun?" I said excitedly.
"What?"
"If we baked something-"
"Oh my gosh I have all of the ingredients in my pantry." He rushed to his pantry and took out a box of flour, sugar, and everything else you needed to make cookies. We took out a bowl and put all of the dry ingredients in it. When I was pouring the flour, he bumped my elbow on purpose so that It would get all over me. I gasped so loud, then I threw a handful of flour at him. It exploded all over him and he tried to dust it off, but it was already stuck to his clothes. He came over to me and picked me up by my legs and held me over his shoulder while walking around the kitchen.
"Oh my god, Clay put me down." I was laughing so hard, I was crying. Clay walked into the living room and dropped me onto the couch.
"You're so cute."
"What? I'm literally covered in flour and you still think I'm cute. You must be blind."
"Angie, I'm the opposite of blind. You're beautiful."
"Clay, oh my god stop you're gonna make me blush again." He helps me up off of the couch and I reach out for a hug. He picks me up and my arms and legs are around him. I'm resting my chin on his shoulder and he sets me down on the counter. I kiss the tip of his nose and rub flour on it. We finally get back on track and finish the cookies. I fell asleep after we put them in the oven because it was already really late. I was suddenly awakened by a long beep coming from the kitchen. I sit up on the couch and I see Clay laying next to me. I slowly move his hand so I could get up off of the couch to take the cookies out. I grab some oven mitts from a drawer in the corner of the kitchen. I open the oven and a huge cloud of steam escapes. I take the cookies out and wait for them to cool. I walk over to Clay's room and grab a loose T-shirt and change into that. I go back to the couch, climb into his arms and fall back asleep.
