Bloom Later - Dreamnotnap

Chapter 5 - Posts From the Past

The sun is barely rising when Dream opens his eyes, he glances at the clock on his nightstand and sees that it's 6:23 in the morning.

"As good a time to get up as any," he mumbles, wiping any remaining sleepiness from his eyes.

After pulling off his comforter, he walks to his bathroom and while turning on the shower he thinks about what he should do today. 

"I'm not in the mood for a stream, maybe I should go outside or something."

Once he's finished, he steps onto the bathroom tile and wraps a towel around his waist. He decides to text his friend Alex and see if he wants to meet up for a lunch in a few hours, and he responds with a "sure".

Once he leaves the bathroom, he looks through his dresser. It's way too hot outside for sweats, so he chooses basketball shorts and a t-shirt. When he's dressed his stomach starts to grumble, prompting him to venture downstairs to see what he can eat.

Dream opens his fridge expecting at least a couple of eggs, but he finds nothing. Well, nothing except for a half-full ketchup bottle and a couple of almost empty bottles of Gatorade.

He also had some moldy cheese in the back of the fridge. Ew. He really should clean this place more, organize a few things here and there.

He should probably go grocery shopping, it's not like he has else to do. Then he walks to his car, grabbing his jacket, wallet, and keys on the way out his door.

Dream gets into his car and inserts the key, turning on the ignition. He puts his arm around the passenger seat, turning around to see behind him as he backs out of his driveway. 

He turns back around to face the road and drives to the Grocery store.

Once he's there, he parks and walks towards the entrance. He grabs a cart and makes his way down the aisles.

After grabbing everything he'll need for the next few days, Dream pays and makes his way to his car. The food all makes it into his trunk and he starts his drive home.

Once he's is home, Dream starts putting away the food like the responsible adult he is, oh yes, how very responsible and adult of him. Once he's done he leans his hips against the counter and pulls out his phone.

It's 12:17, almost time to meet Alex at the restaurant. Dream decides to go through his closet and dresser to find something a little nicer to wear. 

He settles on some black jeans and a loose t-shirt. A couple of rings later and he's ready to go see his pal for lunch.

Walking back downstairs, Dream sees Patches on the couch, so he walks over to pet her before grabbing his keys.

"Don't you worry, I'll be back soon,"  He tells her as she nuzzles into his hand before walking out the door.

Walking to the doors of the restaurant after getting out of his Uber, he sees Alex getting out of his car.

As soon as Dream notices him, Alex looks up. "Big Q" as his friends say, related to his full name "Alex Quackity". Quackity smiles as he locks his car and jogs over to where Dream is standing.

"Hey dude, long time since I last saw you," Quackity says as he engulfs Dream into a hug, "I missed you."

"Yeah me too, what was it, 7 months ago? 8? We need to find time to hang out more."

"Hell yea!"

Unwrapping from the hug, Quackity has to lean back and look almost straight up to meet Dreams' eyes. This strikes Dream as funny so he lets out a little chuckle.
