Cold

chapter twenty-one

"Can you guys at least stay off each other until we aren't stuck in the same car?" Sapnap asked, annoyed.

"Sorry Sapnap." George apologized, wiping his face.

Dream decided it would be best to just look straight because he couldn't bear looking at George without kissing him. "So, how was the flight?" he asked.

"You can look at him, you know." Sapnap laughed.

Dream shook his head, both George and Sapnap laughing. "Shut up, Sapnap. I'm just doing what you said. I can't help it, okay."

George grabbed Dream's shoulders and leaned him back, teasing him. Dream knew he wouldn't be able to handle it, but he tried.

George glanced at Sapnap as if to say something and somehow Sapnap understood because he shook his head yes. George leaned forward allowing some space and swung one leg over Dream's legs. There George was sitting on Dream's lap, staring into his eyes. Sapnap looked back and looked away instantly, but was still laughing. George took that as a 'keep going'. George looked into Dream's eyes, but all Dream could see was his lips. George looked down and leaned in, his lips inches from Dream's neck.

It was over. Dream twirled around, leaning George down on the seat. George reached for his buckle.

"Guys! Guys!" Sapnap screamed. "Stop!"

Dream used all he could to pull away from the panting George. "You asked for it-" Dream said. He could see George, out of breath lying on the seat.

"Put your belt back on George!" Sapnap said, he sounded very annoyed.

"Calm down, Sapnap. You were teasing me, I couldn't help it. Nothing happened-" Dream said. He could hear George's buckle.

"Calm down! What do you mean? Something was definitely going to happen." Sapnap glanced back again.

Dream was glancing at George from the corner of his eyes. He took deep breaths. George did the same and leaned his head back, closing his eyes. Dream did all he could to not focus on George's perfect jawline, looking at his lips.

"Dream-" Sapnap started. Dream closed his eyes, Sapnap could tell he was really struggling. "Why don't you come up here." He patted the passenger seat. Dream nodded and climbed over to the front of the car.

George still laid there, his eyes closed, his chest moving up and down softly. This calmed Dream, seeing something he really cared about calm and sweet.

Under his breath Dream mumbled a soft, "Goodnight, love"

Sapnap glanced over and Dream and just smiled. It truly made him happy to see Dream so happy.

Dream lifted George's slim body, trying his best not to wake him up. The warmth of the outdoors was a large difference then the cold car, but George was easy to lift. The calm, quiet air surrounding the three was so wholesome, so right.

Sapnap carried in George's bags and Dream followed, holding George in his arms. He could smell George's soft cologne, the scent of peppermint and pine. Dream walked slowly to his bedroom and laid George down on the soft sheets to sleep. He planned on leaving after, let him sleep but George woke up.

"Dweam?" he breathed.

"I'm here-" Dream said and laid next to George. George wrapped his arms around Dream, pulling him close. Dream kissed him softly.

Together they laid there, and Dream fell asleep.
