George's POV

I walked out into my kitchen after my long stream. It's late and I spent practically the whole day messing around with Sapnap, Dream, and Bad. I chuckled to myself while thinking about the fun I've had with them today. That was a long stream though, and I'm pretty tired.

I reached up and grabbed a cup from my kitchen cupboard, then pushed my glass into the small inward box in the fridge and watched as it poured out a steady stream of cold water. After drinking about half the glass, I turned off my kitchen light and shuffled down the hallway into my cold bedroom.

It's almost empty, besides my bedsheets that are messed up from the night before. I collapsed onto my mattress and pulled the blanket over myself, letting it cover my head and hide me from the sting of the cold air in my bedroom.

I couldn't get to sleep though, I couldn't stop thinking about how lonely I'd been lately. My parents never pay much attention to me, and the repeating cycle of my streams and Minecraft are slowly gnawing away at any energy and life I have left. My friends don't know I'm struggling, and I'd like to keep it like that, even though I trust most of them with my life. Especially Dream. Somehow though, the one I'm closest with is the hardest one for me to ever imagine opening up to.

Do you ever feel like no one can ever see you cry or struggle? Even though when you think about it, your friends have already seen you at an extremely vulnerable time, and not one of them reacted badly about it. But somehow there's always that thought and immediate decision to not let anyone know the depths of your brain. I can hardly even decipher most of the stuff that flickers and lingers in my head.

I wonder what it would be like to fall in love, to always have someone there for you. My bed is always empty, and cold. I'm touch-deprived and I long for a comforting presence on my skin. Kind of like a mystery I can't seem to figure out. I know that I long for the person, but I don't know who it is.

I wasn't able to get to bed, so I opened my phone and opened up messenger.

GNF: You up?

Dream: Yup

GNF: Can't sleep :/

Dream: Oh that's the worst, I can talk with you until you get tired.

I smiled down at my phone.

GNF: That would be nice, thanks

Dream: Of course Georgie:)

We texted for another two hours until my eyes threatened to shut. Something about Dream always coaxed me to sleep.

GNF: *audio message* Goodnight Dream

Dream: *audio message* Night Georgie

His voice when he was tired is nice and raspy. He used to not even send me audio messages, he would just text, but once we got closer he started opening up a lot more, though I still don't know what he looks like.

Dream's POV:

I clicked my phone off while smiling after George said goodnight, he's so cute when he's tired. I was watching a movie with Nick but he fell asleep halfway through it so I placed a blanket over him and turned the TV off.

I walked to my bedroom and looked out the window, there was a nice view of the city past the neighborhoods from my bedroom, which I always find myself staring at when it's late. It didn't take much for me to fall asleep though, which is good. And eventually, I found my consciousness slipping from me, slowly, but comfortably.

~Time skip~

"Clay! I'm bored!" I shot up and rubbed my eyes tiredly, trying to wake myself up a little bit before walking out to Nick. When I walked into the living room "What's up?" I said while yawning. "Good morning sunshine," Nick smirked and patted my back. I shoved his hand away softly and chuckled.

"What do you want to do?" I asked after he poured me cereal. "Eh, I don't know," he replied. "Okay?" I laughed a little and ran my fingers through my hair. "We should do something, oh! We should see if George can fly out here," Nick said and smirked over at me. "What!? That's a bit extreme for some boredom," I told him. He shrugged.

Nick asked me to call George so I walked back to my room and grabbed my phone. The ring tone dialed twice before he picked up. "Hey," His voice was sweet and sounded happy, which is good. "Hi! I have kind of a crazy thing to ask you," I started. "You're making me nervous Dream," he said with a soft chuckle. "Fly out. Right now, buy the nearest plane ticket and come out here. Heck, I'll even buy your ticket. I think I have your Venmo..." my voice trailed off and I waited for George(who was currently silent) to respond. He laughed on the other side of the call. "You're kidding? Right now? What about streaming and work?" I frowned, I hadn't thought of that. "Stream here, you can use our devices and just take off work," he sighed. "You know, fuck it. Let me see which plane flights are available, if you Venmo me money I'm sending it right back," before I could say anything he hung up the phone. I smiled excitedly and went to tell Nick he was coming.

George's POV:

I immediately logged onto my computer and looked all over for the soonest plane flight to Florida. I found one eventually, which wasn't too expensive, so I bought it and quickly went to pack my bags since the flight was that night. I packed my computer and chargers and some clothes, but I wasn't sure how long I'd be staying so I just grabbed a week's worth and figured if I was staying longer I could just buy more or borrow Dreams or something.

It took me about an hour to get packed, and when I was finished the realization hit. I'm spontaneously flying to Florida to see a bunch of my online friends, which includes my best friend Dream. That thought made my stomach turn with nerves. It'll be fine though, nothing big will happen, I'll just visit for a week or two then fly out and things will be the same as always.

Once I told myself that I was able to relax, and I decided to watch some TV or play Minecraft until I have to leave for the airport. I remembered something so I texted Dream.

GNF: Hey, my flight is at 9 tonight and it'll take me like 8 hours to get to your house so I'll be there super late. Also, can I tell the fans we're meeting up?

Dream: Sick! Classic Georgie keeping me up at night;) Lmao. You can tell them I guess, what's the harm?

GNF: You're such an idiot haha

I turned my phone off and walked over to my desk where my computer was and started my stream.

"Hey chat! So, I'm going to Dream and Sapnap's house today. I'm pretty sure Karl and Quackity are there too" the chat started spamming random stuff, a lot of which was Dreamnotfound related, which made me laugh. Imagine if Dream and I were actually dating, that would be really weird.

"I'm just going to play some Minecraft while I wait. Let's see who's on. Ooh, Dreams on haha," I chuckled, of course, he was. I whispered to him, "are you on my stream?" he said no, but that he'll join. I smiled and watched as he donated a few minutes later. Dream called me so I responded. "Hey,"

~Time skip~

The stream was quick, but eventually, it was time for me to go to the airport, so I called an uber and waited for it to get to my flat. The car arrived like ten minutes later, and the drive to the airport was only like half an hour. I was running slightly behind schedule because I posted a tik tok about going to see Dream. But as soon as I got past security and bagging I had to speed walk to board the plane.

I sat next to two girls who were cuddling and I assumed they were classy traveling lesbians so I smiled at them. "Wait- you're GeorgeNotFound!?! I literally love you!" I chuckled, one of them had dark curly split-dyed hair, and the other one had black and pink hair. They were both pretty edgy and had piercings and tattoos. "I'm Elle," the girl with curly hair introduced herself, then we continued talking for most of the flight. They were going from London to Seattle which is pretty cool.

Once the plane stopped in New York, the girls and I said a quick goodbye after taking a few pictures and they left to get on a plane to Seattle, and I left to get on the plane straight to Florida. It was already pretty late, and I was fully exhausted. I hadn't slept at all on the plane to New York, so I hoped to get some sleep on the next plane.

As soon as the turbulence calmed down I found myself struggling to stay awake, so I tried my best to find a comfortable position in the plane seat and eventually fell asleep.

A/N: This chapters actually so bad I'm sorry ToT it's fine the best is yet to come:)
