Parakeets

[3]

The two parted, Dream had gotten georges number again and found himself back at his shitty east london flat.

He threw himself onto his bed, taking out his phone playing when i was your man by bruno mars. He began to swipe through photos of him and the old george.

He should've been happy, he had his george back again. But it wasn't the same, it could never be the same.

same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now

a specific photo caught his eye, sapnap had taken it and sent it to him. The two were sprawled across the bed and george was laying over dream. They just looked happy, in frustration dream threw his phone.

too young
too dumb
to realise

that i should've bought you followers
and held your hand

twenty three years, two decades since dream had held george, so long without his touch, his warmth.

Everytime he'd fallen for george it'd been better than the last, but how could it be possible this time. They went through so much together, this man wasn't like george, he wasn't passionate for animals neither did he even like ducks.

In twenty three years, he thought he'd be over it. Yet he wasn't, he wasn't even close to being over it.

His phone pinged, with a groan he picked it up

[George: Holy shit, i've just found the weirdest thing]
[Clay: whats up?]
[George; this guy looks almost exactly like me, the other dude sounds like you WTF?!? *Link to a youtube video*

dream tapped the link.

With just a glance tears began to form

the video played, a clip from an old twitch stream.

Dreams face was off camera, george was in his lap on camera.

dream in the video was yelling about it george missing a lava pool before george died the camera and mic switched off before reappearing, george now straddled cuddled up to dream.

Dream smiled to himself watching the clip
he wiped a stray tear with the back of his hand. The video was titled 'Most wholesome dnf moment ever'
he skimmed over the comments

Unicorn66: I miss them 😭😭😭
Tøp4LYfe: Anyone here in 2025 it's been 5 years i miss them sm
PoppyGraves: Does anyone else just come back and wonder what happened to them?
AlexWalker; Holy, just came back it's been 20 years??? They must be in their 40's by now, i'm 36 and my kids were talking about a new game it reminded me of my young days haha

He stopped realising a call from george was coming through, he didn't hesitate to answer

"sorry for calling i'm just so shocked!" george laughed
"That's weird indeed"
"you sound exactly like him!" george exclaimed
"He's probably american"
"one sec let me google him" george paused and quietly hummed as he opened google, dream bit his cheek nervously
"Apparently They're GeorgeNotFound and Dream? Weird- he was called george too. The two just mysteriously disappeared from the internet back in 2021. Their friends snapmap and karl also stopped uploading there's like loads of news articles and theory videos-" george continued to scroll through, "that is so strange, i cant believe there's still active theorising about it" clay chuckled he knew he was holding the truth, he made a deal with himself to not let george know the truth.

"One sec, my adoptive fathers here i'm getting him to check this out it's fucking weird" George called out and another presence entered the room.
"Seriously dad look at this"

Yet his father was distracted by the blonde in the corner on a facetime call.

"Clay?"
Clay looked up and felt his heart drop.

a/n
