An Alternate Flame (Dreamnotfound)

Third Wheel

Previously, Dream and George became official. To celebrate, Dream railed George.

Clay's hand rested on top of George's, the two on their way to pick up Sapnap. George stared out the window similarly to how Dream did when he was in England.

"Whatcha thinking, baby?" Clay's voice was soft, his thumb rubbing small circles on the British boy's hand. George shrugged.

"Nothing specific. I'm excited to meet Nick in person." The British boy smiled, Clay looking slightly surprised.

"Oh yeah! You guys haven't ever met before, huh?" George chuckled, nodding. "Well. He is even more annoying in person. I guarantee it."

George's mouth opened in shock and Dream wheezed.

"It was a joke, don't cancel me!" George giggled at Dream's statement, shaking his head softly in disagreement.

"You know, Clay. You're not very nice." The brunette spoke, causing Clay to choke on air.

"GEORGE WHAT THE HELL?!" George gave him a confused look, Clay continuing. "I thought you loved me," he pouted.

George rolled his eyes at Clay's dramatic act.

"I do, green bitch, I do." The brunette chuckled at his own words, Clay frowning.

"I'm not a bitch, am I?" George shook his head.

"It was a joke don't cancel me," George said, mocking Clay's earlier statement.

The two sat in a comfortable silence for the rest of the drive, arriving after a forty-five minute trip. They waited outside for Nick, both jumping out of the car when they saw him.

Clay ran over, hugging him as George trailed behind.

"George, hey!" Sapnap hugged him, a smile appearing on the British boy's face. "I told you we would hug." The raven-haired boy laughed, continuing. "Anyway, it's nice to see you in person, finally." George nodded.

"Well. Nick, you'll be sitting in the back," Clay said, opening the door for their friend.

Sapnap whined, complying hesitantly.

"That's so unfairrr-" he complained, Dream raising an eyebrow slightly.

"How is that unfair? My boyfriend gets the front seat, dumbass." Clay turned to George, grabbing his hand. "No matter what." The remaining two got in the car, laughing when Sapnap made a gagging noise, clearly forgetting what he signed up for.

"Is this how you two are gonna act the whole time?" He asked, knowing he would be the third wheel for his entire trip. The other two men nodded, causing a groan to erupt from his mouth.

The group shared few words on their trip, eventually arriving back at Clay's house. George hopped out, walking inside without the other two, something he didn't do often.

Clay frowned, furrowing his eyebrows. It was rare that George would go inside without him. He shook the feeling off, helping Sapnap with his bags.

He shut the door behind him, pointing lazily down the hall.

"The guest room is at the end to the right." Sap nodded, walking back to the room.

Clay took this opportunity to look for George. He ended up finding him pretty quick, the brunette laying down on their bed, his phone held tight in his hands.

"Are you alright, George?" The older man shot him a smile, nodding.

"Just thinking." He shrugged. "It makes me seem sad, doesn't it?" Clay chuckled, nodding. "Well I'm not sad. Quite the opposite, actually."
