Jealousy // dreamnotfound

::18::

Both Dream and George wake up in an unfamiliar room.

Dream is pleased to see George asleep in his arms when he wakes up first, the memories of last night flooding through his mind. It's safe to say that neither of them will use the excuse of saying it's a mistake, as they have both voiced their feelings for one another.

The blonde glances down at George, and he looks peaceful like this—asleep and like there's no problems with anything. Dream runs his fingers through the soft hair gently until George stirs in his arms.

"Good morning," Dream says, voice nearly a whisper as he plants a soft kiss on the brunette's head. "And happy birthday."

"Dream?" George turns to face him, face inches away as he smiles. "Good morning to you too, and thank you."

"I wonder if everyone is awake downstairs yet," Dream says, remembering how most of the friend group is staying the night there.

"I don't care, I wanna spend time with you," George says, snaking his arms around Dream's waist and burying his head in the blonde's bare chest.

"We're going to spend time together all day. Don't you remember me saying I'd take you out today?" Dream says with a soft laugh, rubbing George's back lovingly.

"Dream, don't," George says, knocking his head into the blonde's chest lightly. "I told you that you don't have to do anything for my birthday. Just being around you is enough for me."

Dream smiles, thinking these words are sweet. "Cute, but I'm still taking you out today. Get up, let's get breakfast."

George groans when Dream stands up, grabbing his arm and dragging him out of the bedroom. Luckily Eret had put extra clothes in the bedrooms knowing people wouldn't want to stay in their costumes all day.

The two make their way downstairs to see a few people already up. Hanging around the kitchen at the island is Wilbur, Niki, Puffy, and Skeppy. They're all cooking breakfast, and greet Dream and George when they come into view. They also wish George a happy birthday, and Dream wonders how they had found out it was his birthday today.

In the living room cleaning up is Eret, Bad, Fundy, and Punz. Dream is surprised that Punz would help clean up, but figures he probably feels guilty from inviting so many people over. Eret feels obligated to clean up as the host. Bad and Fundy had apparently just wanted to help.

"Good morning!" Bad greets the two of them with too much enthusiasm. "Happy birthday George!"

"Thank you Bad," George mumbles with a yawn, leaning onto Dream. Their hands are still interlocked, and Dream notices Fundy looking at them, unknown look in his eyes. Dream figures it's jealousy.

"It's your birthday?" Punz says, shocked. George nods. "Happy birthday dude! We should totally do something as a group!"

"Can't," Dream states. "We're going out today, sorry."

"No fair, you don't get to hog George all day!" Punz complains, to which Dream just sticks his tongue out at. "Alex is gonna be pissed."

"Let him be," Dream shrugs, bumping George with his shoulder. The brunette smiles at the small touches of affection, even if the two of them aren't actually together.

"Oh, happy birthday George," Fundy says with a slight smile, speaking for the first time that morning. "Are you two dating, by the way?"

Dream senses no hint of malice in the ginger's voice, just pure curiosity. This is what he admires about Fundy. He's always so nice and positive. Dream decides to give him an answer. "No, we're not together."
