The One Where They Do The Thing

Dream woke up to his alarm blaring in his ear. He groaned and squinted against the light filtered through his blinds, finally pressing the snooze button. He pulled the hood up and rolled over, facing the wall, and attempted to fall back asleep. 

The alarm went off again, five minutes later, and Dream nearly threw the clock across the room. Reluctantly fighting off his urges, he opened his eyes enough to coordinate where the plug was and pulled the cord out of the wall. The numbers on the clock went dark, and the annoying beeping stopped.

Dream forgot, for a hot minute, that he had something to do today. It was the day that Sapnap and George were supposedly going to "beat the shit out of him". 

He got up out of bed and trudged over to his closet, picking out a white tee, black hoodie, and blue jeans to wear. He put on some socks and a white mask with a black smiley on it.

Dream opened his door, then started down the hall, stopping to tap on his mother's bedroom door.

"Mom?"

A groggy voice replied through the door, "What?"

"I'm going out for a few hours," Dream answered. "I won't be back until after two."

A quiet hum was heard, signaling that it was alright. Dream smiled and pulled his mask up, making a beeline for the door.

"There he is!" Dream heard a familiar voice call from the top of the hill he'd been climbing.

"Hey, Sap," Dream smiled, spotting the dark-haired boy as he reached the top. Dream pulled the mask to rest under his chin.

George was there too, and the two stared at each other, remembering the night prior.

"So, are we gonna do this, or are you two gonna keep ogling each other?" 

Dream shot a glare at his friend. 

"We're not ogling," George rolled his eyes. 

"What do you prefer?" Sapnap rolled his eyes right back, "Eyeing up? Gazing? Staring? Making eyes at each o- ow!"

Sapnap was cut off by a punch in the arm from Dream. "Shut up, you ogle at Karl and Quackity all the damn time."

"You're not denying it though," Sapnap pointed out, successfully dodging a second bruise from the taller boy.

George scoffed. "You two are so childish."

"Us??" Sapnap turned back to George. "You're the one who's fucking- 4 feet tall!"

"I'm 5 foot 6, thank you very much!"

"You're still short as hell!"

"I'm average height, you dick!!"

"You're both short, shut up," Dream crossed his arms.

"You're just a fucking giant!" Sapnap yelled.

"How tall even are you?!"

"I am 6 foot 2," Dream replied proudly.

"Whoop-dee-fuckin'-doo, you're 6 foot 2!"

"You asked."

"No, he asked," Sapnap pointed at George, whose eyes widened at being included again.

"Don't bring me back into this, I have no issues with.. tall people." George glanced at Dream when he paused, noticed by Sapnap.

"Why'd you pause?" He narrowed his eyes, looking between the two.
