Dream POV

"You— you're—"

"Yes, I am," Ethan takes a deep breath before continuing. "People often think we're dating because of our banter with each other. However, we're just really close friends. I have no interest in dating and I actually have a boyfriend." His voice grows quieter at the end.

"I had no idea," I breathe out slowly. "I didn't want to get too close to her since I might make you jealous."

"So you do like her!" Ethan shouts, his tone completely changing. In the discord, they can hear Y/N coming back. "Now's the time to make your move! Let me know if you have any questions! I can always tell you what she likes!"

"Did you guys talk about anything?" Y/N asks. I open my mouth is come up with some lie but of course, Ethan beats me to it.

"Yup! I told him that Techno still beat him and that I made a bet with Jeffery to see who would win! I gained $100 because of that!"

"Well that's nice," Y/N yawns. "I'm tired, I'll see you both in the morning."

"Bye! Love you!" Ethan calls as he leaves.

For a few seconds, it's just me and Y/N.

"Y/N?" I ask tentatively.

"Yeah?" she yawns again. "I'm going to take a nap for an hour or two."

"Okay, when you wake up can we work on your first video? I have an excellent idea."

"Yeah sure, thank you Dream."

"No problem. Sweet dreams!" I joke.

Her lovely laugh echoes through my headphones again.

"Thank you!"

The sound of her leaving the call signals silence for me once again. I turn off my computer and go into the kitchen to make a snack.

I check the time on the analog clock above the stove.

5:43

Why would she be sleeping at 5?
I guess I have a pretty messed up sleep schedule too.

I end up throwing some leftovers from the fridge into the microwave and heating them. While waiting, I mindlessly scroll on Twitter and see that my name is trending again.

I scroll through the tweets and see that many people keep retweeting the same one.

I crack a smile as I scroll through the rest of the replies. I notice that Y/N is following both my main and alt.

I probably should follow her too.

I quickly shoot her a dm.

Thought you were going to take a nap
