Chapter 15

A/n this might be my fav chapter i've written so far

By the time the holiday rolled around the next week, Dream's video had collected over three million views, the blonde receiving message after message from other Youtubers and managers looking to work with him. He had told his parents a few days prior, his entire family being confused at how it came to be. Clay and Sapnap had already attempted filming a second video, they had a few takes that could be used. Although Sapnap had tried to get the blonde to just pick one and start editing, Dream hadn't found any of the takes to be perfect by his standards.

"Dream, Clay," the blonde's boyfriend's whispers break him from his train of thought, George leaving small kisses behind his ear. The two were curled up in his bed, the Florida sun peeking in through the window.

"Happy Valentine's Day Georgie," a grin breaks out Clay's face, turning to look at the boy in his arms. Dream had forced his friends to stay quiet about the video, Parker and CJ hadn't even told their other friends about it. Tommy wasn't allowed to bring Dream on stream for at least a little bit, the blonde wanting to wait before he makes any decisions. So far, no one from Cortona had approached him or Sapnap, it was a possibility no one had even seen it. Clay didn't want to ask.

George was the only person that hadn't changed a single thing about the way he treated Clay. He hadn't asked the blonde about the video since the morning after their party, instead he would be the one to stare down their friends when they ask Dream too much about his "career."

"So, where are you taking me tonight?" George chuckles, Dream smiling as he thinks over the night's plans.

"It's a secret, remember?" Clay teases, George had been asking the blonde what to wear to their dinner all week, Dream just shrugging it off. He had suggested a skirt, George slapping him in the arm and rolling his eyes at the idea. Clay didn't mind though, he liked being the only one that gets to see George like that.

The blonde had spent the last few days bargaining with Mr. Young, only convincing the man to let the couple go to dinner after promising to clean the kitchen with their cook the following three weekends, it was worth it. Clay had chosen a small Italian restaurant in the town neighboring their school, he had gone with his parents when they visited the previous year.

"Will you just tell me if I need to look nice?" George nearly pleads.

"You know that blue sweater you have?" Clay reminisces on the first outfit he had seen the boy in.

"It's like a light blue?" George clarifies, the blonde nodding, "Yeah, I can wear that."

They take a few more minutes in silence, only really waking up when Clay's phone rings, an incoming call from Techno coming through.

"What's up?" the man clears his throat, waiting for a response from the other end.

"Can you check the photo I sent you?" Techno's voice is thick with nerves.

"Yeah," Clay pulls up a text from the pink haired man, a painting of a black cat comes into frame, "What's this?"

"Well it's supposed to be my gift for CJ, that's her cat, I had Niki make it for me," Techno chuckles softly, "Is it dumb?"

"Why do all my friends think I know shit about romance?" Clay laughs, reminding him of Karl's worries last week, "But yes, that's really sweet Techno, she'll like it."

"Uhm, okay, thanks. Sorry, I just don't want it to seem to cringe," the man on the other end admits.

"I'll see you at breakfast?" Clay switches the topic.

"Yeah, yeah, I"ll see you then. Later," the line disconnects, the blonde laughs softly to himself as he peels his body from the mattress, dragging George up with him.
