"it's killing me, dre," punz spoke exasperatedly, shuffling his feet along the pavement.

"i don't know why you're so caught up about this," dream replied, furrowing his eyebrows at the older boy.

"i feel like shit," he said honestly.

"but why, though?" dream asked.

"i just feel like such a creep crushing on my straight friend," punz sighed, guiltily looking down at his feet.

"friends?" dream repeated with a raised eyebrow, "we've reached the friend level?"

"i'd like to think so," punz shrugged, not looking up from the floor, "that isn't the point though. it's just so wrong."

"just get over him then," dream suggested casually.

"i can't dream, it isn't that easy."

"why not?"

"it's the way he looks at me," punz groaned, growing more frustrated with himself every second, "it's so enticing."

"you have to get over it, punz," dream replied sternly. "i know it sucks but he doesn't like guys and that's all there is to it."

"i know," the older blond sighed, watching the rocks roll under his feet, "it's just like, killing me on the inside."

"in what way?" dream asked seriously, straightening up where he stood.

"not like that," punz assured, finally looking up at the other.

"are you sure?"

dream's protective attitude elicited a small laugh from punz as he replied, "yeah, i'm sure."

"no punz, i'm being deadly serious right now," dream spoke with no tint of humour. "if this is bad for your mental health then we need to stop hanging out with them."

"it's not, i swear," punz replied genuinely, dropping his voice to the same level of seriousness.

"if it starts making you feel genuinely depressed at any time, you have to promise you'll tell me," dream spoke with pleading eyes.

"i promise," punz smiled.

"promise what?" quackity chirped, both boys turning to see the ravenette walking up to them.

dream and punz shared a look, the older boy sighing before deciding it would be easier to be honest. "i like sapnap."

"yeah, we all like sapnap," quackity replied with an uninterested expression.

"no, i mean like more than platonically," punz admitted quietly, disgusted at himself.

"oh uh..." quackity trailed off, looking between the blondes, "you guys do know sapnap is-"
