Dream POV

I open my eyes to the morning sunlight beaming on my face. Letting out a groan, I turn onto my side to face away.

Something shifts next to me and I gasp as Y/N wraps her arms around mine, curling against me.

Then I remember.

Last night.

We fell asleep together.

I smile as I brush her hair from her face and gently shake her shoulder.

"Y/N," I whisper in her ear. "Y/N."

"Whatttt," she mumbles, burying her face into my lap.

"Time to get up," I giggle as she lets out a soft groan.

"Noooo, too earlyyyyyy."

I don't know why this is so cute but I pick her up like I did the night before, carrying her away from the bed.

"Dream!" All of a sudden she's awake, grasping onto my shoulders tightly. "Hey stop, I'm awake!"

"That's what I thought," I set her down on my desk and she sits cross-legged on the surface with her arms folded. "Awwww don't be sad."

I flick her lip as she continues to pout at me.

"Come on, I'm making breakfast."

We head downstairs and find Sapnap sprawled out on the couch. If we hadn't moved last night, he would've surely kicked us off.

The blanket lies on the floor in a crumpled heap of folds with Sapnap stretched out, taking up three-fourths of the couch.

On leg dangles off the edge and his arm is draped over the back of the couch. His mouth is wide open as he snores loudly.

Y/N stifles a giggle as she tiptoes around him.

I notice one of the Nerf guns from our fight yesterday and smirk.

"Oh Dream don't do that—" Y/N says as I pick up the gun and aim it at Sapnap's head.

"This is payback," I smirk before firing an endless barrage of foam bullets at Sapnap.

He wakes up with a start before covering his face with both hands.

"DUDE WHAT THE FUCK?!" Y/N is laughing uncontrollably as I don't stop firing.

"STOP!" Sapnap lunges for the gun in my hands and yanks it away. "What is your problem?!"

"Payback," I smile as Y/N calms down. She leans against my side and grins. 

"I'll get your back for this," Sapnap threatens but he yawns and rubs his eyes. "Bro, what time is it?"

"10 am," I respond, glancing at the clock on the kitchen wall.

Sapnap sighs as he climbs off the couch.

"Then make breakfast I'm hungry."

I chuckle and watch as he stumbles upstairs to the bathroom.

"Does he always wake up late?" Y/N asks. She settles herself on the kitchen island with her legs crossed as I turn on the stove.

"Hmmm sometimes," I mix the pancake batter while Y/N cuts up some strawberries and blueberries. "You know, Sapnap is leaving in two days for North Carolina."

I put the bowl down and wrap my arms around her waist from behind.

"So we can spend more time alone," I whisper in her ear.

I feel her gently touch my cheek and wipe a streak of strawberry juice on it.

"Of course."

By the time Sapnap is back downstairs, the smell of bacon and eggs fills the house.

"Smells good," he plops himself in front of the island table as Y/N places the first plate of pancakes in front of him.

A 3 stack of golden brown pancakes is topped with a heap of strawberries and blueberries with drizzled syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar on top.

"Ooooh." Without cutting it, he stabs his fork through the middle and rips off a chunk of pancake. "Delicious."

I focus on not burning the second pancake as the middle bubbles slightly and I flip it. Once the pancake is done, I slide it onto the plate, completing the three stack and the last of our three plates.

Y/N is preoccupied with grabbing more forks and knives from the drawer so I use this opportunity to pour the remainder of the batter into the pan.

Carefully, I pour them into two small hearts and add some blueberries in the center. 

Y/N comes back just as I flip both of the hearts and place them on top of each of our stacks.

She looks down at the stacks and smiles back at me before dropping a handful of berries on each.

While she pours the syrup, I sneak up behind her and hug her again, leaning over her shoulder.

"Dream!" she laughs and I hear Sapnap laugh from behind us. "Don't do that."

"I wanna hug you," I nuzzle my face in her soft hair and tighten my grip on her slightly.

"I think he wants a little more than that," Sapnap says and I flush beet red once again.

"Oh I'm sure he does," Y/N pulls out of my grasp as she sets the pancakes on the table.

With a reluctant sigh, I join them. The pancakes are really sweet but I can't help but steal a glance at Y/N.

I slide my chair closer until my shoulder is touching hers.

Y/N looks at Sapnap across the table and I see them exchange a look.

"You should take her on a date Dream," Sapnap says suddenly. "And make it romantic."

"Are you saying I'm not romantic?" I fake gasp as
Y/N pushes my shoulder lightly.

"No, I'm just saying you tend to be lame," Sapnap jokes as I glare at him. He laughs and I don't notice my fingers tightening around one of the syrup-covered strawberries until it's hit him square in the face.

He stops laughing and looks at me with a shocked expression.

Y/N suddenly laughs and he throws a pinch of blueberries in her directions

"Shut up," he growls but his smile gives him away.

"Hey! No food fights!" I yell but just as I turn to Sapnap, I'm hit with a pancake square in the face.

The sticky syrup makes it stick to me momentarily before it slides down, leaving a gooey trail on my neck and shirt.

Y/N laughs at me, pointing her finger at the pancake which is folded in my lap.

I place my whole hand in the syrup and slather it across her cheek. Without warning, I lean forward to lick the syrup off her cheek, making a loud satisfied noise.

"EWWWWW!" Sapnap yells as he sprays a handful of berries at the two of us. "No making out!"

Y/N wipes the cheek I licked with her hand and rubs it against my shirt with a scoff.

I lean forward to grab another berry before flinging it at Sapnap who ducks and it hits the wall behind him. 

It sticks to the wall surprisingly, courtesy of the syrup.

Sapnap laughs as he ducks when another berry thrown by Y/N sails past.

He climbs onto his chair and stands up.

"FOOD FIGHT!" he yells.
