Dropping Hints - DNF

7 - aftermath

George grabbed his phone at the last minute, before heading to his kitchen to grab a glass of water. The stream had been going well, with him avoiding any flirty remarks for essentially the entire stream, that was, until the text.

I would kiss you senseless georgie.

Georgie. Senseless. The words resonated through his head, conjuring a butterfly in his stomach each time they popped into his mind.

His plan had been to avoid Dream where possible, in the hope that his feelings would subside a little before the Florida trip the next week.

It had been going well, although he did feel bad, it was beginning to work. Dream was on his mind less often, and he didn't feel so flustered at the thought of him.

But that conversation? That had ruined all his progress.

After gulping down some water, the cool water soothing his dry throat, he began to ponder what to do next.

The thread of texts had come to a natural end, Dream's last text wasn't really one he should respond to, but they had come this far.

Dream had said these things to George, perhaps it was George's turn.

__________Dream pov __________

George: Well i'll be with you in a week

Dream gulped. He thought their interaction had come to a close, that George had decided to end it after his little tease, either way, this was the last thing he had expected.

Dream: what does that mean?
George: it means be patient.

Dream inhaled a short, sharp breath.

Very rarely did George give into his remarks, feed into his flirts, so it was a surprise to say the least. But even through the shock, behind the surprised feelings, Dream couldn't help but wonder if George really meant what he said.

They weren't entertaining a stream, they weren't making their friends uncomfortable, he just said it. Just to him.

Dream: I don't know if i can be patient for a whole week

George knew he sure as hell could. He had been waiting years for this time to come around, endless streams and discord calls, just wanting to meet in person. And now it was here, George so desperately wanted more time.

He wanted time to level his emotions, control himself and bring himself back down to earth, he wasn't going to let some stupid feelings ruin something everyone had wanted for so long.

George: You've been waiting years, an extra 7 days won't hurt
Dream: you don't know that
George: stop being so pessimistic

George put his phone back in his pocket, realising he had been gone for almost ten minutes now, he headed back upstairs to his bedroom.

"Hey guys i'm back, sorry i was gone so long"
"GEORGE, does chocolate belong in the fridge or cupboard??" asked Sapnap, completely ignoring George's disappearance
"Um, fridge"
"YES THANKYOU" shouted Quackity

George: What is going on
Dream: some stupid argument about chocolate idk

"Okay guys, im getting pretty tired now, i think i'm gonna end the stream here" announced George "Let me just see who else is live"

Chat began to spam their goodbyes, with the boys on stream also saying goodbye and slowly leaving the call one by one,
"Okay guys, i'm gonna raid Wilbur so enjoy, Bye! Bye! Bye Bye!" and the screen went black.

George let out a sigh and lay back in his chair, this moment to himself after hitting the 'end stream' button was one of the most peaceful times of his day.

He sat there, thinking about everything that happened, realising he couldnt actually remember what happened in the stream, but only what him and Dream texted each other.

Incoming call from Sapnap
"Hello?" said George
"Wassup" responded Sapnap

They usually just called through teamspeak or discord, so to be on a normal voice call was a bit unusual for them.

"Why are you calling me here?"
"Oh um, i came down to the kitchen for food, just had my phone nearest"
"Fair enough" answered George, putting the boy on speaker so he wasn't restricted by the phone.
"Why did you call?"
"I dunno, you just seemed a little distant in the stream today, was wondering if something happened" queeried Sapnap

George pondered on the question a bit, he felt grateful that his best friend picked up on things like that, even when they were subtle.

"Yeh i'm ok, Dream was just texting me some shit"
"What sort of stuff?" asked Sapnap, already knowing the answer
"i wanna kiss you senseless georgie"

Sapnap almost spat out his drink. He knew for certain that THAT was NOT one of the lyrics, and he sure as hell couldn't be blamed for it.

"What?! Like seriously or jokingly?"
"I dont know, it was over text so there was no way of telling"
"Well dang, i knew you two flirted but that's pretty, you know, forward"
"Tell me about it" said George, rolling his eyes

___________ Dream pov ________

Dream knew he should have left the vc. As soon as George answered Sapnap's call, it became apparent that the brunette wasn't aware he was still there.

He should have left, i mean, it was a complete invasion of privacy. But he didn't, and he heard every word that George and Sapnap spoke.
