"IM READDDDY" george says as he goes down the steps, he looks over at the couch where dream is sitting, he realizes he's wearing a black shirt from the guest room closet and grey sweatpants, dream gets up and grabs his keys from the coffee table, "shall we?" he says as he opens the front door with a simple smile. george scoffs at his friend, "we shall." george says as he walks out the door dream is holding open for him.

as soon as they get in dream's car george notices a neon green cat sitting on dream's dashboard, right next to his bobble blob; "you put him in your car." george says clearly in awe, "oh yeah, he means a lot to me." dream says as he looks at George who's now burrying his face into his hands "you okay?" dream asks with a concerned look on his face, "i'm fine, i'm fine" george says as he lifts up his head from his hands, he's clearly blushing. dream ignores the pink across his friends face and backs out of the driveway with a soft smile.

"how long have you lived here?" dream asks as he turns down the volume to the radio a bit, george looks out the window in deep thought, "5 years, i came here when i was 20; i lived in the UK originally but left because of family issues." george says as he fiddles with his hands, dream takes note of george's behavior and moves away from the topic "so how'd you have the misfortune of meeting sapnap?" he jokes, this makes george giggle a bit. "i met him through karl; and i met karl through silly block game." george says with a content smile on his face, he loves his bestfriend. "oh that's cool! i met sapnap in middle school! wait, i thought you lived with sap for 8 years?" dream questions "the other 4 years was on and off, i was here and in the UK, i officially moved in when i was 20" george explains, "wait so you were coming over here since you were 16?" dream says in a confused tone. george looks out the window again, "i don't want to talk about it." he finally says. dream looks at his friend who's looking out the window with a sad expression on his face, dream then changes the topic again, "that's okay! you done owe me or anyone an explanation. do you have any boundaries? things i shouldn't and can do/say?" dream asks with a smile in his voice "uh, i'm okay with anything i guess? just ask before you do it." george tells dream, he sees the smirk plastered across dreams face and shakes his hands as he realizes what he said "NONO NOT LIKE THAT IM LIKE BORDERLINE ASEXUAL PLS DONT MAKE SEXUAL ADVANCES TOWARDS M-"dream squeezes george's cheeks together so his mouth makes an O shape, "i wasn't planning on it idiot." dream says with a reassuring smile.

george had settled for a baby blue tee with the words "blueberry milk" across it, there's a little cow behind the words, he's also wearing black joggers with baby blue crew socks and his signature white filas. "no skirt today?" dream asks as he gets out the car, there's a bit of silence after and dream realizes the impact of what he said "no wait i didn't mean it like that you can wear whatever you want it's totally okay i'm so sorry that sounded like i was trying to be a di-" george gets out of the car and looks over at dream, who had shut up once he made eye contact with him; "it's cold, now please stop talking you're killing the vibe." george says and lets go of his gaze soon after, "what? did you want to see me in a skirt again? is that why you asked?" george says clearly teasing dream "that's not at all what i was getting to.." dream says as his face glows red, george laughs it off as they both walk towards the target entrance.

"what are we here for?" george looks over at dream who's holding the stores door for him, "cat liter and cat food for patches, leaving them at your guy's for when we come over." dream says as he follows george inside.

"oh! i wanna buy her a kitty bed and a toy!!! can i...?!" george asks excitedly, dream looks over at george who's giving him puppy dog eyes, "yes, you can get her whatever you want as long as it isn't flowers, she's allergic to pollen." dream says after 5 seconds of looking at george. "she's such a babbbbie she's allerwgic to poweeeeen" george says as he looks at the cat toys, he eyes a mouse with sunflowers designed onto it "look. how ironic." george says as he picks up the mouse to show to dream "that's so funny" dream says with a small chuckle, george looks up at dream and realizes that dream covers his mouth whenever he laughs, "why are you doing that?" george says as pushed dream's hand away from his face "doing what?" dream says as he looks away from george's face who's literally 5 inches away from his "dont cover your face when you laugh idiot, your smile makes me smile." george says as he puts his attention to the cat beds next to the cat toys; dream stands there in shock, george... likes his... smile..? he likes his smile so much that it makes him smile?
"would she like this one? hello? earth to dream???"  dream snaps back out of it as he focuses on the hand that's being shaken infront of him, "oh uhm, yeah. we have one kinda like it at home." dream says as he directs his attention to the cat bed george is holding.

as soon as they get into the car george sighs "i'm tired.." he says with a yawn, "you woke up like? 6 hours ago? how are you tired?" dream says in an exaggerated tone, "less talking more driving home.." george say as he dozes off in the passengers seat, dream scoffs and pulls out of the parking spot "only because you asked." dream says as he puts on some slow jams.

george slowly wakes up to the car stopping suddenly,

The ways in which you talk to me, Have me wishin' I were gone; The ways that you say my name,
Have me runnin' on and on.
he hears before he opens his eyes to check out where they're stopped at, it's his driveway. "hey sleepy head. want me to carry you inside?" dream jokes. "shut up..." george says as he slowly unbuckles his seat belt "i can if you want, i'm strong" dream says as he flexes, george scoffs and gets out the car with the stuff he bought for patches in hand, "no thanks noodle boy."
