ch.9 - He smiled.

Dream and George are sitting on the living room floor playing some random video games they found online. Laughing at each other killings for points.

A knock on the door led to it being automatically opened. A familiar boy came in. Karl. Of course. He walked in only to see dream and george laughing while sitting close to each other. "Oh hey Karl."  "Wassup karl?"

"GEORGE!" He yelled loudly causing both dream and george to re-look after already saying hello. "What?? Can you yell any louder? Damn." He focused back on the game. Huh. Much more sass? It fits him though. "George, you didn't tell me you got A ride from the park. i waited there for an hour!" George shrugged. "Sorry. i thought i did."   "Ugh George!" He came up to him and pulled the remote away. "Listen dammit!"   "Ugh. well now you have my attention! Speak."  "I don't think dream is a good friend for you. So you being here playing video games getting closer, isn't going to fix things!"   "Im literally sitting right here you ass." Dream pitched in. "Who said you can make decisions for me? You are A friend of mine, i can have be more that one you know. Plus dream has been a WAY better friend than you have been this whole week." Karl backed off. He scoffed. "Whatever. i'm gonna go bye." George starred at him as he walked away. No goodbye escaped through his mouth.

After the front door shut george turned to dream. "i'm really sorry about that. Again.."  "It's okay. Don't feel bad about it." He smiled. "Shall we get back to our game?"  "Sure!"

A few hours pass. George's parents wouldn't return until tomorrow. Dream ended up crashing for the night.

"Here," George said as he walked into the living room with a pillow and some blankets." "Ah thanks." He made a hum indicating a 'yes'. "And dream you're sure you don't wanna stay in my room?" "Yeah it's alright."

George smiled. "Hang on." "Wha-" He had already ran up the stairs.

Coming down about a few seconds later, he had a pillow and blankets in his hand as well. "if you are sleeping down here then so am i" Dream chuckled. "You sure?" "Definitely."

He set up his "bed" on the floor. His family's clock that hanged upon the wall struck 12.

"Well, what now dream? it's 12 AM and i'm not even close to being tired." "I feel bad." George sat up. "Why?" "Cuz i'm making you sleep on the floor while i'm on the nice couch." Alone. . . He laughed. "Would you like me to join you, you join me, or we stay?" George was kidding. Hm. i'd prefer not sitting in the hard floor tbh. "Come," he patted the couch. "Join me." Dream smiled. It was a pretty big couch, and it could definitely fit the two of them. "Wait seriously?" Wait was he kidding? Shit. Just keep going.. "Yeah. C'mon" "Well alright." He stood up and sat on the couch with dream.

The thing was though, george had recently just came out to his parents and karl. They're the only people that know. Three, and only three. But george was willing to tell a fourth if things were to happen. What would happen? I want to know. but i don't wanna ruin anything we have.

Dream doesn't really know his sexuality. Yeah he's dated girls and liked girls, but would George come in and seek something he's never done before? I'm quite comfortable around him, and i don't wanna ruin anything.

Facing opposite ways, the time ticked till morning.

Monday, April 3rd. "It was going to happen. And so something did."

George and dream drive off to school, meeting sapnap outside. He was smoking.

"Yo dude cut it out." You could hear the seriousness in dream's voice. "Ah come on man. You used to love these until George rolled around." At least he got his name right this time. "True, but i realized i shouldn't." George looked at dream. "Did you really?" He nodded. "Huh. okay." Great.

"The bells gonna ring, come on let's go." He said to george as well as pulling the cigarette from sapnap's hand. "You too." "Fine."

The three walked into school and completed their day.

As the last bell of the day rang, George, dream, and sapnap all walked outside to the field.

"Yo wanna okay some football?" Pitched sapnap. "Maybe. Oh did i ever mention to you guys that I play soccer?" George spoke. "Soccer?!" "mhm" Him and sapnap went back and forth.

"No," he chuckled. "You never did." George looked at dream in the eyes. Oh my god. Leading to a stare, sapnap broke it with his loud words. "So i play football, dream does lacrosse, and you do soccer. Heh we dominate." He laughed. "Duh" George added. "Shall we head back inside?" They nodded.

The three of them walked back into the building.

"Are we really about to do this?"

"Yeah. And it's going to be amazing."

"Okay.."

They entered the school building.
Lights off, monday night.
Possibilities scattered their minds.

"Oh this looks sick!"

"Shit I hear someone, let's go"

They ran out, and drove off.
Can't wait for tomorrow and the reactions.
He smiled.
