Friend

My burning sensation
is peace to your brain.
-Jack Daniel's

George opened his eyes, a little red and dry from the lack of sleep, his head kept pounding as he was just laying on the bed, still half asleep, but eventually, he got out of bed because of his phone ringing on the other side of the room.
He picked up the phone and saw Sapnap's name on the screen as he was calling him, he then answered the call and put it on speaker while laying back on the bed with his phone on his bedside table.
"Hey George." he heard Sapnap's sleepy voice on the other side of the phone.
"Good morning Nick, how are you?" he asked, wondering why he couldn't hear Karl in the background.
"Last night Karl had a last minute flight Jimmy programmed for a video, he'll be back tomorrow." He said with a yawn.
"What about you? Did something bad happened with your girlfriend? It's unusual of her to come pick you up at mine and Karl's place" he asked, annoyed just by the thought of Claire's face.
"Oh yeah..." George said, letting out a yawn, "she just wanted to have sex... that's all."
He could hear Sapnap sigh through the phone, "You know I don't like you being used like that..."
George remained silent, he knew that continuing to say 'but I love her' wasn't going to fix shit.
Sapnap could feel George's sad gaze through the phone, so he decided to talk about something else.
"Anyways, I have a friend that is coming here all the way to Florida."
George internally thanked the blond for changing the topic, "Oh yeah you told me about it."
"Yeah, and since I wasn't expecting Karl to be away I was wondering if you wanted  to have a drink together with him. Just hanging around."

George smiled, "Okay! Sure, where?"
Sapnap chuckled as he could hear George's mood brighten through the phone, "I can come pick you up at 9 pm, Alex's coming too."
"Okay, see you tonight!" George answered, and then hung up after a little while.

For some reason he felt... excited. He wasn't the type to go out at night (except for his girlfriend), but meeting someone new sounded fun.
Claire wasn't going to come back home at least until tomorrow, so he had all the day to prepare himself and have fun.

It was going to be a chilly night, so George decided to wear a black t-shirt under a dark red sweater - at least that's what Sapnap said - with dark jeans and white Air Force.
He was looking through Instagram, when Sapnap's story popped up. It was with a blurry filter and the tag near the person on the driver's seat draw his attention.

He clicked on the name and it brought him to a public account. It almost had 11 thousands followers and there were 9 photos.

"So this is Nick's friend." George thought, looking through the photos. In the oldest one the blond was holding a cat stretching in his arms, he was with a girl looking similar to him, probably her sister. There was a photo where he was riding a motorbike, and another one next to a good-looking car, both looking fairly expensive. In the other photos he was at the beach next to a campfire with some friends. Next to it he was playing football, photos surely taken professionally due to the quality and the angles, muscles flexed as he passed the ball to a teammate. At a restaurant he sat on a chair holding a drink, and at the centre of the eight photos there was a cute photo of his cat. The two most recent photos were taken with a group of friends, which in one of them he recognised Sapnap and Karl.
He looked like the dreamy boy every girl wanted and George felt a bit jealous about it.
Just when he turned off his phone, it ringed displaying Sapnap's name on the screen.
"You there?" George asked after answering the call.
Instead of an answer, he heard the horn of the car outside his house, as well on Sapnap's side of the phone.
"Does that answer your question?" He asked, George giggled through the phone.
"I'm coming, gimme a second." and after that he ended the call, pocketing the phone as well as his wallet.
He picked the keys and after locking the front door he walked towards Sapnap's car.
He entered the backseat, where Quackity greeted him.
George returned the smile, when he noticed Sapnap's friend at the driver seat.
"George, this is Clay." Sapnap said, Dream gave a quick glance at George.
"Hey George." Dream said smiling slightly.
"Nice to meet you, Clay."
Dream was hot, his tanned skin was attractive and his voice charming, George wondered how many girls were in love with him, because they were probably many, surely boys thought the same.
George sighed, getting too much into his thoughts, he leaned next to Quackity, choosing with him which song to play.
