"After yesterday's video, my subscribers have gone up even more" Dream mentions. Sapnap scoffs, "Your subscribers have been going up drastically the past few months." Dream purses his lips, "Mm, true."
"What are you at now? Pull up that subscriber thing that is the live count or something" Sapnap suggests.
"Okay, let me go get my laptop" Dream replies, then leaves the living room.

He comes back shortly with the laptop in his hand. He opens it as he sits back down. Sapnap waits for him to pull it up before he asks again, "What is it?"
"988,905" Dream clicks his tongue. Sapnap chuckles, the corner of his lips tugging upwards, "Damn."

Dream smiles, "What?" Sapnap shakes his head in astonishment.
"It happened so fast" he answers. Dream lets out a tiny exhale, "Hey, remember what I said: you and George are coming with me. You're going to hit 1 million too one day. You're gonna be as big as me, we're a team."
"The Dream Team" Sapnap finishes for him. Dream nods in amusement.

"It's going up again" Sapnap mentions. Dream turns to watch as the numbers spike up, then slow down again.
"Should we call George?" Sapnap asks.
"You really think I'm going to hit one million today?" Dream questions in disbelief. Sapnap nods eagerly, "Of course you will, Dream."

Dream grins wholeheartedly at Sapnap.
"Okay, let's call George on discord. I wish we had like party poppers to celebrate" Dream notes, standing up and walking to the kitchen. Sapnap follows after him,
"It's okay, we have each other."

Dream sets up his laptop on the kitchen counter. He pulls up two windows: one is the YouTube Subscriber watch and the other is Discord for a call with George. Dream shoots George a message explaining what is going on, then waits a moment to call him. George answers and as soon as George turns on his facecam, Sapnap jokingly groans, "Ew." George scoffs, "Shut up."

Sapnap playfully rolls his eyes, "George, when are you going to listen to your fans and grow you hair out?" George rolls his eyes this time and shakes his head. He hums, "Uhm, never."

"Guys, shush" Dream pipes up.
"What number are you at?" George questions, changing the subject. Dream glances to the right side of his laptop screen.
"989,621. It keeps going up and down and sometimes it skyrockets" Dream answers. George nods his head and searches something on his computer. He pulls up the count himself, "I'm going to watch it too, so I'll see it when it happens. It'll be like I'm with you guys." Dream and Sapnap smile fondly.
"You are here" they speak in unison.

George laughs, "Okay, let's not start on this. I'm here no matter what." The other boys nod in agreement.
"So what do you want to talk about while we wait?" Sapnap asks, alternating looking at Dream and George. Dream hums, "Uh, video ideas, maybe?" Sapnap grimaces, "Ew, ask the fucking college major coder. He's basically certified."
"God, do you ever stop?" George jokes, rolling his eyes. All they do is bicker. "Oh, and speaking of that, when are you going to teach me how to code?" Sapnap questions.
"Soon!" George answers, "I swear."
"You better" Sapnap huffs.

"Of course, the youngest and oldest are fighting" Dream notes. Sapnap and George yell at Dream in return. After a few minutes of more bickering and discussing their jobs, the numbers start moving.
"Holy shit! Holy shit! It's going up!" Dream exclaims, pointing at the screen. Sapnap gasps, "Holy shit, that's fast."
"Dream, you're going to hit one million!" George exclaims, a grin from ear-to-ear forming on his face.

Sapnap places his hands on Dream's shoulder to stable himself. They all stare at the screens in front of them. The number climbs and climbs, rising and falling up and down, until it jumps past 1,000,000.

Sapnap and Dream bounce up and down, holding onto each other. They scream as loud as they can, along with George. His scream makes the microphone crack on Dream and Sapnap's end.
"You did it!" George cheers, clapping loudly. Dream squeezes Sapnap into a hug, then looks to George.
"I couldn't have done it without you guys" he admits earnestly. Sapnap squeezes him into another hug, and George gives one to the camera with his hand.

No, Sapnap has changed his mind. He wouldn't change this for anything. Having Karl's love and affection is nice and comforting, but it isn't realistic. Karl hasn't called in almost two years; he probably still has him blocked. Karl isn't coming back. Sapnap needs to move on, Karl probably already has. This has gone on for far too long.

Sapnap has Dream and George. What they have isn't filled with what if's and questions, or dreams about fake scenarios. They're real, Dream is holding him right now and George is on the screen talking to him.

Karl does neither now.

Sapnap feels like he can see clearly now. He can take the steps to move on.

He said it himself, it's okay. He has Dream and George.
