Burnt Eggs

After reluctantly getting up and showering, Dream made his way to the kitchen where his roommate, Sapnap was making himself some breakfast, which was a fried egg that was noticeably starting to burn.

"Hey. Making any for me?" Dream seemed to make Sapnap jump, who was more focused on his phone than the breakfast.

"Hah, no. Make your own, piss boy." Sapnap quickly slid his egg on a ready plate, setting the pan back down. "Also finally. Took you what.. A week?"

Dream side-stepped in front of the stove to make his own breakfast, turning to Sapnap after cracking an egg into the pan. "Finally what?"

"You finally showered." Sapnap chuckled, shoving bits of egg into his mouth and cursing quietly as it burned his mouth.

Dream just scoffed and rolled his eyes. "You're no better dude. Also, if you could refrain from telling every person you meet about my showering schedule?"

"More like the lack thereof." Sapnap shoved the rest of his egg in his mouth and threw the plate it was on into the sink for Dream to wash later.

Once Dream had an adequate egg, Dream made himself some coffee to go along with it and started walking to his room when Sapnap spoke up.

"Hey also, if you could not make a ton of noise calling your boyfriend at 4 in the morning that'd be great." Sapnap laughed, and Dream laughed too, but something in the way he said it rubbed Dream the wrong way. Sent a weird chill up his spine. Nevertheless, Dream continued to his room, flopping down on his desk. Looking over it, he noticed the amount of trash there. He'd clean it eventually, but he had work to do today. Work. Like what? Answer some emails? Yeah he had to do that but that would only take so long. The more he thought about what he should do, the more he thought about what he wanted to do. He thought about maybe seeing if Sapnap wanted to go to the movies, or to the beach. It was starting to get a lot warmer, so the beach seemed like a great option before it was too hot. Yeah. Maybe they could do that.

Focus. Dream manually brought his attention to his computer screen. What was he doing? Oh right. Emails. Dream opened his email, spending a good five minutes scrolling before taking a deep breath and collapsing back into his chair. Man. This was gonna suck.

Hours of mindless typing and painfully joyful responses to emails later, Dream had finished what most of his work for the day was. As he chewed on the collar of his shirt, he looked over at the dirty plate and empty mug, picking both dishes up as well as a few cups he'd left over the past week or two. As he emerged from his room, his attention was brought to Sapnap, who was watching some documentary. Dream set his Dishes into the sink and walked over behind the couch.

"Whatcha watching?" Dream leant over the back of the couch, trying to get a closer look at the TV.

"Oh uh.. Some documentary. I zoned out and started scrolling on twitter. Patches came to say hi though." Sapnap motioned down to the sleeping cat next to him with a smile. Dream reached down and pet her before standing back up straight.

"Huh. Oh I wanted to ask you a few things." Dream walked around, flopping down on the opposite side of the couch.

"Okay." He turned off the TV so there wasn't any background noise. "Shoot."

"Well.. I was talking to George, and we were talking about maybe having him finally come over here from Britain."

Sapnap paused for a second, seeming to think about it. "Yeah. Sounds good. He could stay in the Guest bedroom, we could do some 'irl content' like Tommy did." He laughed a bit, using air quotes.

"That was my idea, maybe I'll show my face finally." Dream laughed a little, mostly meaning it as a joke, but maybe he would. "I think it'd be cool just to actually you know.. Meet him."

"Yeah I guess." Sapnap shrugged. "He might be British but other than that he's cool."

Dream laughed a bit at that. "Wanna call him? Make some plans?"

Sapnap nodded. "Sounds good to me."

Moments later, Dream was on his phone, dialing George up. "He's not streaming right?" Sapnap shook his head. After the phone rang a few times, the familiar British voice rang through the phone as Dream put it on speaker.

"Hey Dream, What's up? You get those emails done?" The two could hear George giggling through the phone.

"Yeah dad I got it. Sapnap's here too, we were talking and we wanted to see if you were still up for coming to Florida for a bit?" Dream held his phone tightly. He waited anxiously for any words from George.

"Yeah I'd be down."

Dream let out a sigh of relief, Sapnap looking at him weird for a moment.

"I could come over in July?"

It was mid may now, so there was plenty of time. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." Dream could feel himself smiling a bit more, excited for the upcoming trip. Over the next week or so, the three would plan out exact dates. George would be coming to Florida for a few weeks in July.

That was the plan.
