Roommates - DreamNotFound

Two

London - May 21st, 10:43 AM

An hour passed as George and his father drove to the airport, shared by laughter and a long wanted chat between the two. His father had said many things George hadn't heard for years such as, "your mother and I love you" or "Take care of yourself" blah blah.

 As they pulled into the drop off zone of the Airport, George was stopped by his father placing a hand on his shoulder. "Son.. I just want you to know that I'm proud of you and I'm here if you need a mate" He said, his eyes being taken over by water. George couldn't resist giving a soft and genuine smile. 

"Thanks dad" he had said before being taken into a warm and slightly uncomfortable embrace as his father was very bulk while George was a very small framed man. As George went to get out of the passenger side door, he was once again stopped by his father. 

"Oh, one more thing" He had said before reaching behind into the back of the car, later drawing out a box with bold yellow writing on it. "Don't forget these" He said with a proud smirk written all over his lips. 

George had turned bright pink at the gift "Condoms...." His father giving him a wink before placing it into George's hand. 

"Alright, well off you go then" His father said before George had slammed his door in embarrassment. He quickly strutted to the boot of the car to grab out a very full luggage of clothes and essentials to bring with him on his flight. The boxes that were placed in the back seat were being shipped over in the next 2 weeks or so to his University so he had to pack as many things as he could. 

.

As George made his way to his terminal he couldn't help but wonder how different his life would be in Michigan. His thoughts were soon to be cut off as he received a text message from Wilbur

'Hey George, just wanted to check in and tell you to have a safe flight, text me when you land'

George gave a smile as he looked down at his phone, he was very grateful for Wilbur and everything he's done for George. He quickly responded with 'Will do, text you in a few' before placing his phone into his pocket and making his way over to hand his ticket in. 

Florida - May 12th - 8:04 AM

Dream's house was filled with laughter, cheers and the smell of party poppers lingering in the air. He did it, he actually did it. He was going to Michigan. When he told his Aunt and sister earlier on this morning, the house flooded with screams. He was surprised there hadn't been a noise complaint put in by the neighbours or something. 

"So proud of youuuuu!!" Dream's Aunt, Lily, said, bringing him into a very tight hug. Later followed by Drista joining in. Dream let out a wheeze type of laugh before actually wheezing, losing circulation to his air from being squeezed to death. 

"Oka-- Okay that's enou-- enOUgh" He said, forcing the two to drop him from their embrace. Dream placed his hands on his knees in a bent over position as the other two laughed at his 'weak' response. 

"Wow Clay... that's pretty pathetic" Drista said, chuckling under her breathe. Dream glanced up giving her a sharp look before a smirk grew on her face. "Sorry to break it to you" She said with a sassy undertone. She was quickly taken a back as Dream got up from his position, towering over his little sister in a dominating stance. Drista let out a small chuckle of 'oh shit' as she was met with a smirk saying 'you're fucked'. The two chased one another around the whole house for a few minutes before Drista calling in a defeat, resulting in Dream doing a victory dance around their kitchen. 

Drista laid on the dining floor with her arm over her forehead, glancing at Dream with a confused and disgusted look. "That is the worst dance I've even seen" She said. He stopped in his victory position and looked over to the drained 14 year old on the floor.

"Wanna go for round two?" He threatened. Drista in response gave a quick shake of her head, gesturing her zipping her lips together and throwing a key away. 

"Alright you two, settle down" Aunt Lily finally cut in as she made her way into the room with an envelope in her hand. Dream and Drista both noticed the white piece of paper and quickly crowded around their Aunt in awe. "Here, it's for you" She handed the paper to Dream. He looked down at the cursive black writing that was plastered on the front

 'To Clay Byrant, From the University of Michigan'

He quickly tore the envelope open, excitement running through his veins. He pulled out a piece of paper which read 'Dormitory papers'. Dream was stunned at how quickly the turn over was of him receiving an invitation to the university to now knowing when to move in. "That was quick" Lily said, peering over Dreams shoulder to see the same writing. 

Dream gave an "Mhm" in response before continuing down the page. It says various things such as fees for rooms, date to move in and how many roommates he would have.

"Oh, you only have one roommate, that's good" Lily said. "When I was in Uni, I had around 6 other girls in my dorm". Dream finished the paper and met eyes with his Sister and then his Aunt's.

"It says the move in date is the 22nd" He says with a husky voice. Drista's face dropped immediately at the words, her eyes beginning to water.

"Wow... That really is a quick turn around" His Aunt responds, her hand resting on Drista's shoulder. Dream nodded in response before looking back at his little sister who was on the verge of tears. 

He crouched down from his standing position and placed his hand on her other shoulder. "Hey, it's gonna be alright" He says with a small smile growing on his face. "I'll call you every day and I'll come to visit as much as I can". By now it was too late, tears were streaming down Drista's cheeks, her sobs soft and painful. 

"Promise?" She responds, looking into Dreams emerald green eyes with beautiful flecks of yellow. His lips being tugged into a bright smile.

He pulled Drista into a soft and meaningful embrace.

"I Promise"
