George had been looking forward to finally meeting his best friend Dream for months. He had streamed and chatted with him so many times, but never had he seen Dream in real life. The fact that Dream had not yet done a face reveal only made it more exciting for George. He always felt a little sad that he had no idea what his best friend looked like in real life, but he respected Dream's decision. And so now had all sorts of scenarios in his head about what Dream would look like and how their meeting would go.
Finally, after countless nightly game sessions and video calls, they had decided to meet in Dream's home state of Florida.
George had been travelling to Florida for hours and he couldn't wait to finally meet Dream. They had been best friends for 7 years and all George knew of Dream was his voice and the gameplay he streamed.
But George was mostly worried about what Dream would look like. Because George had no idea what he looked like. He was curious to see if Dream looked like what he had imagined.
When George finally arrived in Florida, he could not suppress his nerves. He was afraid he would not click with Dream like they did online. George's heart was racing as he walked out of the airport, his eyes scanning the crowd for his best friend, Dream. Then George saw a figure in the distance waving at him. It was Dream. George's heart leapt in his chest and he rushed to hug his friend. Dream's eyes sparkled and he hugged George tightly.
George could not believe his eyes when he saw Dream for the first time. Dream was even more handsome than he had imagined. His dark blonde hair and green eyes shone in the sunlight. George felt his heart rate go up and realised he felt more for Dream than just friendship.
They chatted excitedly as they made their way to Dream's car, eager to catch up in person. Dream took George to his house, where they would stay with Dream's cat Patches. George was impressed by Dream's house. It was spacious and modern, and it immediately felt like home.
When George entered Dream's house, he was welcomed by the friendly cat Patches, who immediately adopted him as his new best friend.
Over the next few days, George and Dream explored Florida together, visiting beaches and playing various video games. It felt like they had been together forever. George felt increasingly attracted to Dream. He couldn't take his eyes off him and he wanted to be with him all day long. But he was too scared to say anything. He didn't want to risk ruining their friendship.
One evening, while a violent storm was raging outside, Dream and George decided to watch a movie. Halfway through the film, George had become even more frightened by the storm. He had always hated thunderstorms and did not know how he would spend the night alone.
Fortunately, Dream had noticed that George was scared and had an idea. "Why don't you sleep with me this night?" he suggested. "We have plenty of room in my bed." George felt his heart beat faster at the idea. And was very happy with his proposal and gladly accepted it and went to Dream's room to sleep there. George felt his heart beat faster as Dream came to lie beside him and put his arm around him to reassure him.
When they were in bed, George got nervous.
"I don't want to ruin our friendship," George said, breaking the silence.
"What do you mean?" asked Dream, turning to him.
"I mean...I think I'm in love with you," George confessed, as his heart raced.
There was a pause before Dream bent towards him and pinned him against the bed and then pressed his lips to George's. The kiss was arousing and George felt his how heart started beating even faster. Then he realised that Dream felt the same way about him. From that moment on, George and Dream were more than just friends. They were in love.
That night, George fell asleep in Dream's arms. He had never felt as safe and secure as he did then.
Over the next few days, George and Dream's relationship blossomed. They could not keep their hands off each other and stole kisses and hugs whenever they could.
It took a while before George and Dream dared to tell the world, but when they did, they were showered with support and love from their fans who were overjoyed for them.
George and Dream could not be happier. They realised that their friendship and love was strong enough to overcome anything. They continued to stream and game together, but now as a couple.
Their friendship had grown into something more beautiful than they could have ever imagined.And every night, they fell asleep in each other's arms, grateful for the storm that brought them together.
