I Used to Know -DNF-

Chapter 28 - When We Celebrated

Song Recommendation - Water Fountain (Alec Benjamin)

I've been really into Alec Benjamin's music lately but I'll try to put in some variety 😅

We had been talking in our dorm when someone began banging on the door.

"Georgia! Dream! C'mon! We're celebrating Christmas, guys!" A voice screeched through the closed door. "Open up, guys!"

"Bloody hell, Wilbur." You sighed. You stood up and made your way to the shaking door. "You're gonna break down the bloody door."

"Good! Let's go!" Wilbur said as the door started opening. He grabbed your wrist and motioned for me to follow with a jerk of his head. 

He pulled us through the woods and to the dorm buildings near the Kappa Sigma house. He unlocked it with a key card he had somehow acquired, and we made our way to the fourth floor, where I was expecting a large party, but it wasn't like that at all.

Karl was talking about grades with Alex, Sapnap was talking to Punz about Punz's frat, this guy Sam was talking up a cheerleader named Niki.

Wilbur placed the bag he was cradling onto the table in front of him. Everyone gathered around, and he pulled out a pack of Christmas sugar cookies, some Christmas crackers he had ordered from England a few weeks prior, a package of plastic cups, two full cartons of eggnog, and a small rotisserie chicken with paper plates and plastic forks.

The nine of us crammed around the small coffee table and shared the chicken, poured the eggnog, took our cookies, and pulled the crackers.

Niki shoved Wilbur's cookie into his mouth, laughing at his stories about a place he had made up called L'Manburg. Sapnap and Alex shared a Christmas cracker, and Alex got a pair of toenail clippers, tossing the hat to Sap.

You and I shared a cracker, which broke in my favor, but I let you keep the paper crown and the little motto. I got a small map of the world with a pencil tied to it.

Where is that little map?

We stayed there well into the night, until people passed out propped up on pillows. I needed to leave early, but I had fallen asleep there, too. Thankfully you had woken up an hour or so before I had to leave.

You shook me awake -

________

Dream woke up to George shaking him awake.

"Augh!" Dream groaned.

The brunette put his phone close to the blonde's face, an unwelcome light shining onto Dream's features. The date was December 22 and it was 9:06 am, two hours after they had agreed to leave.

"Bro, I just woke up-"

"Babe, we need to leave!"

Dream pushed the phone away and pulled a pillow over his face, hugging it close to him. "Why?"

"Dream, my house is an hour farther from here than yours."

Dream threw the pillow aside and with his eyes still mostly closed, blindly grabbed at his boyfriend (he was over here somewhere...) and eventually pulled him close, turning the brunette around and making him collapse onto Dream's lap.

"What if we stayed here for another fifteen minutes?" The blond grumbled into the brunette's neck, planting a kiss on his collarbone.

"I'd love to, but if I go home with a boy and hickeys, my mum's gonna have questions, Clay."

"Mmmugh. Fine." Dream said groggily.

"Alright, let's get in the car, wake up, because you're driving."

"Fine. But I'm gonna give you so many kisses." Dream said, getting up and hugging the brunette from behind. For extra effect on the shorter boy, he simply whispered, "Georgie."

The boy under him shuddered and kissed the blonde's bicep, but pulled away and began bringing the luggage down to the student parking lot.

And so they started the seven hour drive into southern Melbourne, Florida.

A/N

So I've technically been using the wrong brunette (brunette is usually feminine, brunet is masculine) but I'm not changing every single chapter so perhaps I'll use brunet in the future, perhaps not (if I'm being honest I'll probably forget) so this is just me acknowledging that and I apologize for my grammar mistakes 😅

Anyway sorry this chapter is short, but I might post again later today. If it makes up for it, I put a little research into it :) (I shouldn't have chosen for them to live in a state I've never been to before, huge mistake on my part)

Happy New Year! Bye 2021!

Cya!
