Sapnap's pov

"Fun fact about Sapnap? Umm.. he doesn't like to be touched" dream says quickly as he reads questions from his chat.

I scoff as if to say it's not true but the sad reality is, I hate it. It's so uncomfortable for me.

"He didn't get much touch as a child and now he hates it, shouts merry Christmas when you touch his shoulder.. it's funny, he says hugs make him feel uncomfortable cause he doesn't understand what they mean and what you're supposed to do whilst recieving one, he feels awkward when someone touches him cause he feels like he's supposed to know it means something or be able to do it back or some shit like that" Dream explains, rambling a little towards the end.

"I would love to say this ain't true but it is.. it's so uncomfortable for me so I'm quite nervous for when me and Karl meet up cause I know he's a very touchy guy and I'm trying to get used to it by having Dream like lean against me whilst watching shows and stuff" I say as I play on the smp with Dream.

"When we first ever met up and stuff, cause you go super shy, you never told me you didn't like to be touched to much. So I would put my arm around him lots and lean against him but he would shuffle away and at the time I just thought he didn't like me irl and only online and got really in my own head until he actually told me" Dream says and I feel my cheeks flush.

"I'm awkward okay, so unbelievably awkward. If you see me irl, you can come up and say hi but chances are I'll probably go all flustered and timid whilst talking. You can get a picture too, just ask and don't get too in to my personal space cause I will just awkwardly shuffle away" I say with a nervous laugh.

"Well.. you're going to meet Karl in what? Three days? You've got to tell him to lay off the touching" Dream says and I shrug.

"But that's how he shows affection.. what if he goes all awkward on me?" I ask and Dream sighs.

"You really are selfless" Dream says with a huff and I shrug.

"Well I'll approach the obstacles when it comes" I say with a soft smile and he groans.

"If your anxiety gets bad whilst you're there, text me.. umm.. I'll make sure to get your prescription when I take you to the airport so you have your medication" Dream says and I nod.

"I've got every possible way I know how to calm down memorized and at the ready incase I have a surprise panic attack.. hoping I don't have one on any of the streams cause they're face cam, all of them. We agreed so" I say softly and Dream hums.

"If you feel all shaky and you have any of your panic attack symptoms then go to the bathroom and call me okay, it doesn't matter what time it is.. if you need me, you call me" Dream says and I hum.

"I will, I promise" I say softly and he sighs softly.

"Good.." Dream says softly and then returns to answering questions.

<Three days later>

"Chat! He's here! Sapnap's here!" Karl exclaims, hugging one arm around me rather tightly and I smile, my cheeks heating up and feeling flustered.

Normally my first thought is to pull away but a part of me wants Karl to hold on just a little longer.

"Hi chat" I say softly, feeling Karl let go and turn towards the keyboard.
