The day for both of them went by smoothly. It was a hectic Saturday with a lot of customers. Since George already had his training day, it wasn't necessary for Dream to help him throughout the day, but knowing him, he tried his best to be around the boy for as much as the day as possible.

It was near the end of the work day, and Dream had already clocked out. George was still working, and Dream stayed back to hang out. "You know you don't need to stay here with me while I work? I'm sure you have a glorious life of your own, maybe a girlfriend, a dog, a friend even". Dream laughed at this comment, "I enjoy being around you first of all, secondly I don't like dogs, cats are way better, third, you are my friend. Lastly, I don't have a girlfriend, for many reasons," he lightly chuckled at the end of the sentence.

"Boyfriend?" George asked. Dream quickly looked towards him. "Sorry, want trying to assume anything, just wondering". "No it's okay, I mean you're not wrong, but not right" George gave a puzzled look, signaling for Dream to continue die to his obvious confusion. "Well, I don't have a boyfriend, that's where you're wrong. I'm happily single, but, I am gay," Dream admitted with a slight smile on his face, hoping that his only friend who he had just met wouldn't walk away right then and there. George hit him back with a smile in return saying "me too...kind of," he took a breath before continuing, "I'm actually bisexual! So don't be afraid I'm some straight homophobic prick," George said which got a laugh in return from Dream. Not only was it a laugh, but a full on wheeze.

"Well, you should be getting ready to go home, I'll close up" Dream said noticing the time was nearing 7, which is when George's shift ended. The theater was closing early due to a huge event being held nearby.

"Dream you can't expect me to allow you to close after clocking out. You won't get paid for it, and I'm in charge of it tonight. You should get going home anyways," but Dream really didn't want to go. George was right, he shouldn't be closing, but he wasn't just going to leave. The two ended up closing the cinema together. Light conversation here and there about random topics.

As George went to pin up his name tag, he heard Dream come up behind him. He turned around slowly to see the tall blonde with a cute grin plastered on his face. "Wanna go somewhere with me?" Dream asked. George was hesitant at first, afraid of what was to come, "Where to?" was his only response. "We can g wherever, maybe get something to eat? It'll be on me". George couldn't say no the freckled blonde standing in front of him. "I'd love to, Dream".

With that Dream and George headed out through the back doors and walked over to Dreams car, Dreams hand wrapped around George's neck like the day before.

"Where do you wanna eat?" Dream said climbing into the drivers seat and turning on the car. "I'm okay with anything really, whatever you're up for". Dream had the perfect idea and made his way to the nearest Olive Garden

On the way there, they say in silence. Not an uncomfortable one, but also not one where you feel safe and comfortable. The silence was more of just them getting lost in their own heads, thinking about completely different things. Kind of.

Why did I ask him to eat with me? Does he think this is a date? Is this a date? No it definitely is not. He did say he was bisexual, but that does not mean he's into me. Maybe he is and that's why he said yes. This was all Dream could think about. He had grown to like George, even after only these two short days.

I hope I'm not intruding. Maybe he just asked to eat to be nice. Holy crap eating. I haven't gone to a restaurant in weeks because of what happened last time. I can't have another panic attack. Especially not in front of him. Why did I say yes to a RESTAURANT?!?! I was just so excited to hang out with him. I have to relax or I'll actually have a panic attack. These were the only thoughts in George's head the entire car ride. What was he going to do?

"We're here," Dream said breaking the silence between the two. George shot a quick smile towards Dream before climbing out of the car. Dream walked over to George, wrapping his arm around their neck as if it were now routine.

The two walked inside asking for a table for two. They sat in the waiting area, this time not in silence. "So, how are you liking the new job?" Dream started conversation. "Well, I really like it, but there's this really annoying co-worker who won't leave me alone," George started. Dream asked "Who?" to hopefully find who and tell them off.

"He is about 6'3", blonde, he has freckles, he gives raisins to me, and he asked me to eat with him tonight. He's weird, might quit because of him". Dream then realized the game George was playing, "Oh yea, I hate that guy too, maybe I can tell the boss and get him fired". They both shared a laugh, braking their characters.

"No but really, I have enjoyed these past two days working, way more than any lazy day I've had. Might have something to do with you" he gave Dream a sheepish smile, and Dream gave one in return.

"Clay, table for two"
