TW: nothing really (if there's something, tell me in the comments!)


George's POV:

- Jebles! Let's drink water! It's really important to hydrate yourself because it prevents you from diseases.

I went to get a diminutive leaf from a plant and made it in a cup form, put water in it, got myself a glass of water as well, and got back to the couch. I drank mine and got his little tongue wet.

- See? It wasn't too scary as you had thought it would be!

I felt like a child for a moment, it was nice.

- Oh hi Alex! Where were you yesterday? - I sounded very enthusiastic.

- Oh I was dealing with some stupid shit. But it's my last day here, sadly.

- Oh that's alright. Let's go and have breakfast. I think Clay's down there and Nick is asleep.

- Okie.

We went down together and I almost fell because I'm very clumsy.

- Georgeee! Gimme a hug - said Clay.

- O-oh why?

- Can't I get a hug from my lovely boyfriend - said jokingly Clay.

Shit. Why did he have to remind me of this too, I have to tell him like I did the first time, but this time it's much worse - it affects Clay too. I guess I'll talk to Nick after lunch and get some advice. I have to prepare myself because I can't just do what I did the last time. Running away from the problems isn't optional here...

- Sure thing.

I hugged him. Honestly, I wanted this hug to last forever, Clay is a great hugger.

- I made yall some scrambled eggs, yeehaw - said Nick while approaching us.

- Shut up Texan boy. Anyways, we have to make a new video today because some of the viewers are starting to suspect something, yeah we streamed yesterday, but we haven't posted a manhunt in a while. I say we do it after breakfast. - suggested Clay.

And it happened. We finished the eggs (bussin), got on our PCs, and started recording. Despite Quackity participating as the 5th hunter, Dream won again, using only traps. I could say he is the smartest person I've ever known, that's why I love-

What. Was. I. Saying.

*6 hours have passed*

It's currently 6:01 pm. Clay and Alex had gone outside, only me and Nick were home. It was time. It was time for me to finally face my fears and tell him that I have feelings for Clay.

I got out of my room, feeling very anxious. My mind was repeatedly telling me to go back because it's not right. Honestly, shut the fuck up mind. Yesterday it was my first time ever been to a therapist and she told me to rule my mind, that I'm more powerful than just some connected cells.

Nick's room was on the other side of the apartment, so I was walking slowly, calculating every step I was taking.

This is the moment that I've been waiting for 3 years. I gently knocked on his door.

- Hey George, wassup.

He was editing a video we did before my vacation here.

- Oh sorry for disturbing you, I'll talk to you later - I said while rapidly closing the door out dread.

- No no George it's fine, I finished editing it a while ago and now it's rendering. What's up?

- Nick, I have been waiting to tell you this for a long time ago. - I started very unsurely.

- Sure buddy, tell me what's bothering you, take your time - he smiled.

- So, when I met Clay, everything seemed casual and not stressed at all. After talking and talking to him every single day, playing, having fun, I started feeling a bit different when I'm around him. He became my comfort person, just, something about him seems so.. I don't even know how to describe it. Clay is fascinating, lovely, intelligent, and he markedly wants our ''friendship'' to continue. I just don't know what to do Nick, I think I might be catching some feelings. When we came here there have been just butterflies in my stomach when I'm around him. But if I ever tell him, everything will be over, our friendship, career, channel... I just wanted to get this off my chest, sorry if I'm being a burden but can you advise me on what to do?

- Okay, there's a lot to unpack here. First of all, thank you for trusting me enough to tell me this information, I really appreciate it. Second of all, nothing would change if you and Clay get together. We would still be having our channels, would still make money, would still have a great relationship with each other. My suggestion is to wait 1-2 more days, then tell him. Pay attention to how he talks, how he acts, what he does, basically everything. Then you would know better how to proceed with the situation. There's a chance he might like you too, but you need to be prepared for both outcomes. Before you confess to him, tell me, please.

- Thank you, Nick. You are a great friend.

- Omg does this mean that actually dnf is real??? NO WAY WHEN YOU GUYS SLEEP TOGETHER IMMA FILM YA AND POST IT ON TWITTER WITH THE #dnf. - Nick joked.

- Hah we will see. No but seriously thanks for the talk, I feel so much better now.

- No problem buddy, when you want to talk to somebody I'm always here for you. Now gimme a hug!

- Okay.

We hugged each other and I went back to my room. I'll try to be as attentive to Clay's behavior as possible.

''Dear Diary,

today I finally told everything to Nick. He was supportive, told me some advice... I'm feeling ecstatic now, I have no idea why, haven't felt it in a long time... I guess the despair is gone for now. Anyways, after that Clay and Alex got home, we had dinner together and watched ''The Autopsy of Jane Doe'', now it's 11:23 pm and I'll go to bed in a bit :) - George.''
