"Everyone, quiet." The teacher told the class. Killer looked away from Dream to the adult. "We have a new student. Please respect their pronouns. They also only speak one language, and it isn't English."
A new student Killer hadn't noticed before stood up. "مرحبا" They mumbled. ("Hi.")
Killer's face lit up. "!مرحبا" ("Hi!") He greeted back. They looked surprised and smiled at him. Killer smiled back.
"هل تتكلم العربية" ("You speak Arabic?")
"بلى" ("Yeah.")
Both of them were excited to be the only two to understand each other. Everyone else was squinting with confusion. The teacher cleared his throat. "Uh, Killer, would you like to switch spots to help them keep up in class?"
"Sure!" Killer chirped.
Dream looked up. He was a little surprised and very jealous.
...
"Killer." Dream stopped him mid sentence.
"Yeah?" He looked away from the new student, who he learned was named Haroon.
"I get you're excited to meet someone else and all, but. . ."
Killer caught on. "Aww, are you jealous~?" He smirked.
"No! . . . Maybe."
Killer giggled. "We can hang out after school. Or, you could hold me while we're talking right now if you're that jealous."
Dream huffed. "I'm not-!"
"Alright then." He turned back to Haroon.
Dream sighed and left.
...
"Dreamy!" Killer hugged him. School was over.
"Hey, Kills!" He hugged back.
"Heh, you seem excited to see me."
"I mean, we've barely talked all day. . ."
"Aw, you're still jealous."
"Am not!" He huffed.
"It's cute~" Dream blushed, looking away. "Hehe! C'mon, let's go." He took his hand. Dream smiled. As they were walking to Dream's car, Killer talked about the new kid. "So, apparently, they're genderfluid. Their parents are bilingual, but they only know Arabic."
"Uh-huh. Nice." He sighed.
"What, not interested?" Killer asked, hugging his arm.
"Honestly? No, I'm not."
"Oh. Alright."
Dream sighed again. "It's nice you have a new friend, though. . ."
Killer smiled. "Yup." Dream smiled back. They were at the car. Killer leaned on him, hugging his arm.
"Are you going to get in the passenger side?"
Killer thought for a moment. "Hmm, can I drive?" He smiled.
"Alright," Dream shrugged. "Just don't drive recklessly."
"Okay~!" He got in the car after Dream gave him the keys. He readjusted the seat.
"God, you're short." Dream smirked.
"Shut up." He huffed.
Dream laughed. "Do you have your driver's license?"
