4,000 Miles ~ Dnf (IN PROGRESS)

Chapter 2

Dream woke up to a loud buzzing on his phone.

He lifts his head from its spot buried in the pillow and lowly unlocked his phone answering the call.

"Hello? DREAM ARE YOU ALIVE???"

Dream was still confused, and it didn't help that it was only 8am.

"What the hell are you on about George? Of course I'm alive?"

Slowly last night events poured over him, remembering everything that had happened he sighed in relief. Hearing Georges voice again really made him believe what bad had told him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did i wake you? My bad, the little baby needs all 12 hours of sleep..."

Dream chuckled at the thought of a tiny 5,6 George attempting to stand him up like this in person, it wouldn't go as smoothly before the boy would be tossed off the top floor balcony of his apartment :]

"George, we both know very well i don't sleep 12 hours... I guess I am too busy thinking about you- YOU GUYS, like you know the smp, got to uh, got to plan the lore..."

There was a moment of silence, before George spoke.

"Oh I uhm- didn't mean to intrude your dreams, Dream..." You could practically hear him smiling at the comment, unsure of the honesty.

This caught Dream off guard, usually when he would flirt with George it would be immediately shut down, but this time it was as if he was almost encouraging it.

It seemed George could read his mind because after a few moments of confirmed he was flirting... interesting.

"What? I'm sorry George I zoned out. Why are you calling?" He cringed, hoping that he would believe that because if he didn't he had no response.

"Mhm. Well I called to tell you something!"

Dream said nothing waiting for George to say whatever it was he was going to say.

"IM COMING TO FLORIDA!"

Dreams heart sank, in a good and bad way.

"W-what? why?"

"Well to see you idiot! Bad and Sap are coming too, I hope you don't mind, I told them we should ask first, but they said if you said no we would stay at a hotel."

Dream thought for a moment, he had never me George in real life. And with no warning a huge smile spread across his face.

"GEORGE! OF COURSE ITS OKAY! I cant wait, when are you guys coming??"

There was a moment of silence, and it worried dream. Was it a prank? He thought to himself.

"Well, we were hoping maybe, if you don't already have plans we could come for Christmas...?"

Dream checked the date on his phone, the second of December.

"Yeah! I would love that!!" Suddenly a wave of panic came over him.

George has never seen my face. What if he doesn't like what i look like? What if he doesn't like me anymore? What if he doesn't like me at all in person?

"But uhm George, I think I need a minute if you don't mind?" he didn't even wait for a response and ran strait to the bathroom, making sure to hang up this time.

TW:Anxiety

He put his hand on the edge of the sink, leaning forward into it to support himself. He slowly looked up into the mirror at himself.

George isn't going to like me anymore. He must have such high expectations. I cant live up to what he must think I am, I cant even imagine him seeing me right now. Slowly tears began to fall down his face

Okay okay okay, bad. Not good. Call Bad.

"Please please please" he pleaded with himself, reaching into his pocket to pullout his phone, finding it empty and glancing around the room in search for it, spotting it placed on the small shelf a few feet away from him.

His breath got faster, and he couldn't control it anymore, he slowly walked to the shelf supporting himself with the wall.

"Bad- Bad. Dream said, a wave of relief pouring over him as someone on the other line answered the call, he seemed to hear the panic in Dreams voice because he caught onto the situation quickly.

"Dream what's going on??" Dreams breaths were just starting to slow down before he heard the voice on the other line and glanced towards his phone. he called George.

"George? I- I'm sorry-"

George realized what was happening, he didn't know Dream had anxiety, but he knew people with it.

"Dream, its fine, just breath okay? Then we talk."

Dream continued a simple breathing pattern until his breathing had steadied completely.

"Dream...What happened?" he said, sounding genuine, his voice flooded with concern for his friend.

"I just got scared George- I'm sorry I meant to call bad..."

"Its okay Dream. Its gonna be okay. I'm here" These words rung through Dreams head, unable to escape. He's here. he let out a small chuckle, thank you George. Thank you. he thought, but couldn't get the words out.

"Well now you know..." Dream forced a faint smile, even though he knew George couldn't see him

"I'm glad I do Dream. You mean so much to me. Like, more than you will ever know. Do you... do you want me to come sooner?"

The words hit Dream. He still wants to come...? After that, he still wants to be near the man?

"Y-yes" he managed to force out, his voice still quite shaky.

"Is uhm... Is next week okay?"

Dream let out a smile. A genuine one this time.

"Yes George, that would be wonderful, and uhm, thank y-you."

For the rest of the night the words ran through his head 'You mean so much to me' I really do mean something to him...
