chapter eight.

The mirror steamed and water hit against the tile as George got undressed, clothes being discarded onto the floor into a neat pile. His ivory skin was exposed and the cold air made him shiver. One foot at a time, George stepped into the shower, letting the warm water consume him and regulate his body temperature.

Water trickled down his face, down his body as he washed away the grogginess from his sleep. It felt nice to get clean and it was a kind escape from the newfound nervousness he felt around Dream. It was weird. Even the smallest glance where their gaze met let out a wave of butterflies in his stomach. When their lips would slightly graze against eachother, a feeling of passion would ping in him. It was like every small thing Dream said or did released a crazy feeling of excitement in George. He hated it but it was so, so addicting. He couldnt get enough of his touch.

He ran his fingers through his soaped up hair, ruffiling it under the water and letting the sweet smell of strawberries draft into his nose, the soap lathered his brunet hair before draining into the shower.

The way it felt when they would just stand there and sway in eachothers arms so affectionately was so unlike what they had before. Before the flirts and being touchy came naturally without a thought, now, he overlooked and analyzed every small thing Dream told him. He felt insane thinking about every sentence so thoroughly, he wondered if he did the same thing.

Washing down his body once more, he turned the valve all the way around until the water decreased to only a drip. Overall he'd been in the shower for maybe 10-15 minutes, a shorter time than regular, just thinking. He took the towel which hung from the shower rod and first dried his hair, then the rest of him. Still, water dripped from his unkempt hair and onto the tiles of the bathroom floor.

The outfit he'd picked out for that afternoon consisted of a light blue sweater and khaki jeans-- slightly baggy with the ends cuffed. Because of Sapnaps persistent nudging to, George would often include rings, bracelets or maybe necklaces with his outfit. Today he didn't, feeling it was more of a dull day.

Before exiting the bathroom, George kicked the clothes to the corner of the room. The first thing he lay eyes upon had been Dream, sitting on the floor playing with cat once again. He loved how gentle he was with her. Something George had always stuck by was the idea that you could automatically tell the type of person someone was based on the way they treat animals and critters.

His back was faced towards George, the outline of his shoulder blades were seen so clearly through the thin fabric of his shirt. Him not noticing his presence sparked an idea in George. Slowly, he walked towards Dream, aware of the creaky floorboards. With the intentions of scaring Dream, he reached out to place his hands on his shoulder but before touching him, Dream turned around and grabbed ahold of his legs. George had lost his balance, understandably so considering Dream was basically hugging his calves, giggling furiously.

A little, "Nice try!" could be made up right before George ultimately fell. George toppled over Dream, the two squirming in each other's arms until they were both on the floor. Side by side both boys laughed, Dreams wheezes filling up the room and atmosphere as he clutched his stomach.

Dream breathed out wheezes and George huffed out breaths of defeat. A thick tension rose as they laughed together, body's so close and lips so pleading. The quiet giggles died down and they were basically fighting to urge to give into each other. 

Unlocking the gaze between them, George slowly looked to the others lips. It seemed they both wanted to the same thing from one another. While Dreams hand glided over Georges cheekbone, Georges were placed in front of him so he could balance as he leaned forward. It was an unmistakable feeling, accelerating, heart racing and making both of their skins boil. It was hot. With a smooth lean in, the two brought each other into a passionate and hot aired kiss.
