Cat Got Your Tongue? ฅ DNF ฅ

ฅ Chapter 10 ฅ

POV George

I squinted as I first opened my eyes, the first thing I see being the sun in the window, glaring at me through the blinds. I stretch my arms and legs as far as I can as I let out a yawn, I think that's the best sleep I've had in a while.

Swinging my legs off the bed and grabbing my phone, I stand up and head to open the door while slipping it in my pocket. I walk quietly down the hall and head down the stairs to get some water from the kitchen. Dream's door was open so I can assume he's already awake.

As I reach the bottom of the stairs, I look up to both Dream and Sapnap staring at me, stopping me dead in my tracks. Their both sitting at the counter, previously on their phones.

"What?" I ask as I start getting nervous. My hoodie is still on, right?

"Have you checked your phone?" Dream asks me calmly.

"No..? Why?" I pull my phone out and notice my screen filled with notifications, but what shocks me the most is the date.

"Wait- But wasn't yesterday-" I'm speechless.

"You spent over a DAY sleeping" Sapnap chimes in.

I know I tend to sleep a lot but this is just- A LOT. I guess since I've been here, I haven't exactly been getting as much sleep as I used to. Maybe that just, forced me to catch up on all the sleep I needed to. I walk over and take a seat next to Dream.

"We tried to wake you up but you were being really stubborn," Dream sighs, "You reminded me of Patches when I try to wake her up from a cat nap." I freeze up. Oh my gosh I reminded him of a cat. Way to go George, you've definitely been a normal person.

Dream must've noticed my reaction because he then set a hand on my shoulder.

"Not that I'm comparing you to a cat or anything. I mean- unless you like cats? But I'm not calling you an animal- or, it kinda sounds like I am, BUT that's totally not what I meant." He stutters out. I smile at him fondly before I start giggling.

He looks down at me and smiles back, chuckling a bit too. For a moment it feels as though we're the only two people in the world, alone together. Brown eyes meet green as we both quiet down and look back at each other.

We sit there for a moment, gazing into each other's eyes. Then, his eyes move down and away from mine. He looks at my lips for a moment but then meets my gaze again. My eyes widen slightly as I realize what's about to happen. I look down at his lips as his tongue darts out to lick them. Fuck, what do I do?! I definitely want this!

*Cough!*

I jolt in my seat along with Dream as we hear a loud cough coming from behind him. Shit, I forgot Sapnap was here.

"If you two lovebirds are gonna kiss, can you at least do it when I'm not here?" I feel my face heat up immediately in embarrassment. Oh my gosh we were about to kiss. My stomach flips and it feels like it's been exploded with butterflies. I look back up at Dream and notice that his face is red, probably just as much as mine.

"N-, I-, I jus-" Dream stutters, unable to speak.

"I'm gonna go change." I say quickly as I jump off my chair and dart out of the room as fast as possible. My breath picks up as I shut my door and slump against it, falling to the floor with a light drag. What just happened?

Wait.

I almost kissed Dream.

I ALMOST KISSED DREAM.

Does that mean he likes me? Does he know I like him? But that moment was so random. WHO CARES HE ALMOST KISSED ME. I cover my face with my hoodie sleeves as I try to get myself together. I feel like a teenage girl crushing over her highschool crush.

I'm getting too ahead of myself. I slump down more, he doesn't even know who I am, who the real 'me' is. I sigh as I read my head down against my arms on my knees. I'm screwed.

POV Dream

George finally woke up this morning. It was around 11am when he came down the stairs and Sapnap and I confronted him. He seemed just as confused as we were, considering he literally slept more than an entire day.

He moved to sit down next to me at the counter, seemingly almost lost in thought.

"We tried to wake you up but you were being really stubborn," I sighed while turning to him, "You reminded me of Patches when I try to wake her up from a cat nap." I chuckle lightly.

George froze as I said that. Why did he freeze? Was it something I said? Did I say something wrong?

"Not that I'm comparing you to a cat or anything. I mean- unless you like cats? But I'm not calling you an animal- or, it kinda sounds like I am, BUT that's totally not what I meant." I stuttered out. Oh gosh, this is really embarrassing.

I'm looking down and away from George, contemplating on whether I should even speak anymore, when I hear him start to giggle. He's laughing?

I look up and he has the brightest smile on his face. His eyes are crinkled up along with his smile as he seemingly can't help but laugh.

I chuckle nervously with him as my cheeks definitely tint pink. After a moment, we both calm down and are finally silent. We both stare at each other without words.

He really is breathtaking, I wish I had gotten to see him sooner. The bright, but dark, caramel color of his eyes, or the very light freckles that dot his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. Or his lips, the perfect way they curl upwards everytime he smiles. I could just get lost in him.

I look down to his lips, but quickly back up to his eyes once I realize what I'm doing. But for a moment, his gaze moves downwards to mine, and back up to my eyes. He looks at me fondly. Are we-? Am I-? I very, VERY, slightly start to lean forward.

*Cough!*

I jump in my seat as I see George jolt with me. Oh crap I totally forgot Sapnap was here. I mentally facepalm myself as I feel my face flush red. How the hell am I supposed to recover from that?

"If you two lovebirds are gonna kiss, can you at least do it when I'm not here?" Sap retorts from behind me. Is it possible for my face to get any redder? Cause I'm sure it is.

"N-, I-, I jus-" I stutter before I'm cut off.

"I'm gonna go change." George says quickly, face also completely flushed as he hops out of his seat and swiftly climbs up the stairs.

I hear his door slam in the distance as I audibly sigh.

"What the hell was that?" Sapnap asks as he nudges my arm. "That was so... random?" he points out.

I cover my face with my hands as I drop my head down.

"I have no idea." I respond.
