☽ SLOW DANCING IN THE DARK- Joji ☾
He hasn't looked my way yet, he was walking down the hall admiring the people at their lockers.
"DREAM!" Sapnap yells as he slams his locker closed. I hide myself in my hood as my cheeks start to glow red from embarrasment.
I was not ready to confront him. He was so beautiful.
"Sapnap!!" I hear his voice and the slap of their hands come together as they "dab eachother up" (ew). His voice was deeper than before, and I dont think i can handle to look at this boy anymore. I might melt. Was I really falling for my best friend i havent seen in years?
-flashback-
"Mom, can I be honest with you about something. Somethings been on in my mind for a while and i've been scared to come clean with you about it."
"Georgie-poo you know im always here for you, what is it?"
I cringe at the nickname.
"Well, I think I like.. men." I stumble on my words as i fiddle with my hoodie string, avoiding eye contact.
She gives me a look that i can see even though im not facing her. Her lip drops down and she places her hand on her heart as her other hand is placed on my shoulder from across the table. I look up as she's giving me loving eyes.
"There's nothing to be worried about George, I love you no matter what, and you know that."
I smile so wide my cheeks were about to fall off. I immedietly get up and hug my mom with the most passion.
-flashback ends-
I feel a larger hand grab my hood and I head Sapnap chuckle slightly. The hand that grabbed my hood gently pulled it down, my fluffy hair falling with the hood, only to reveal my bright red face. It felt like little demons were infesting the inside of my face and just using it as punching bags, making my whole face beat red.
The tall blonde gasps at his sight.
DREAM POV:
I could've swarn i saw him this morning at his driveway, but how? I thought he had moved away for good? Is this all a dream? it has to be. no way.
All the distant memories are now floating back into my head, as I remember even the smallest of good moments.
God i missed this boy so much.

GEORGE POV:
I gently look up into into his eyes. Just by the way he was looking at me, I could tell his feelings were true about missing me.
Hes so beautiful.
Just as I was about to speak I felt a tight grip around my back as I was pulled into a warm and tight embrace by the man himself. I feel his tight grip on the back of my black puffer jacket. I return the embrace slowly after and wrap my hands around his back, my head just about making it over his tall shoulder as he beant down to reach me.
"Oh my god this can't be real right now" He says as he pulls me back and has a wide smile on his face, just like the one i had when i came out to my mom.
He was so cute, and his smile was so contagious, causing me to smile back. I let out a small laugh as i admired him once more.
"George I cant believe you're here! I never thought we would meet ever again..Why- how-" I could tell he had a lot of questions, but not enough time as the bell rang. Dream glanced down at me as i started to pick my bag off the floor.
"Well, I'm here, and I- um you look great, Dream." George said, obviously flustered. I tried to walk away in a rush to hide my face, but i felt the same hand grasp me.
"Wait- George. Fuck class, I wanna talk to you, I miss you, and we just have so much to catch up on!" His eyes lit up like never seen before. I've never seen someone this excited to see me.
"Dream- I miss you too but, can we catch up later? Like, at lunch?" The huge smile plastered onto Dream's sharp face slowly faded, but he agreed, and we both carried onto class.
DREAM POV:
He doesn't seem that excited to see me. Did I do something wrong? I head over to Sapnap, as he conversates with our other friends, Karl and Quackity. I can practically hear karls laugh from across the hall.
I walk up to the group with my grip on my backpack straps on my shoulders and my lips pressed together.
"Hey guys" I say in a less excited tone than before
"Dream! Where's George? Not a class skipper huh." Sapnap says as he fluffs his hair.
"Well I want to talk to him, i mean its been so long, but he wanted to go to class and catch up later so I'll respect that" The thin line that was his lips formed a smile.
"Hey.. Don't let this get you down, he definetly misses you, I can tell by the way he looks at you and hid his face when first looking at you. I mean c'mon, his face was bright red. He's probaby just in shock, I mean he also hated it here, just give it some time. Besides, you're also neighbors right? so what's stopping you from going over later?" Sapnap says as he places his warm hand on my shoulder and his eyebrows show sympathy.
"Well, he wants to meet at lunch."
The 3 look at eachother and smile, "I think George likes you".
