sapnap feels all fired up as he makes his way up the stairs at the jacobs' house, glad that delilah and cynthia's cars weren't parked outside because the last thing he needs is for those poor women to see him stomping through their home.

they don't need anything else on their plate. they've already been through so much, sapnap doesn't want to become an inconvenience right in the middle of everything.

though that isn't enough to stop him on his journey. he feels riled and angry and hurt and his emotions are tearing him apart from the inside out. everything has fallen apart in such a short span of time and he can't keep beating around the bush like he has been.

sapnap might have spent a lot of the last few months questioning his worth, asking himself if he's an awful person, but he knows he deserves better than the treatment he is receiving.

with his parents' habit to put their work first and leave him behind, sapnap has had to teach himself about the importance of self-worth and he isn't about to let the boundaries he built himself crumble in the name of love.

he bursts into dream's room without knocking, hardly even feeling bad when the blond startles into a sitting position. it looked like he was just about to fall asleep, and sapnap wonders whether he is oversleeping or if he was about to pass out from exhaustion because he's been undersleeping. what other reasons are there for someone clocking out at 4pm?

sapnap has been undersleeping, and maybe the wired energy that's been building up as a result is half of the reason that he is here right now.

"what the fuck, sapnap?" dream curses, his angry tone hardly identifiable. sapnap looks at the older boy across the room and he can hardly recognise the person he fell in love with. "did you just let yourself in?"

"yes, i let myself in. is it so wrong for me to come to my boyfriend's house?" he questions, seething. his hands are shaking with energy and his face feels hot. "or are you just surprised because you didn't want to have sex today so why else would i be here?"

"what the fuck are you talking about?" dream asks. the blond gets out of bed. maybe it's unintentional, but sapnap hates how the blond gives himself the height advantage, immediately making the ravenette feel smaller than he is. some of the confidence he had worked up ebbs away but he tries not to show it.

"what is going on with you, dream? you don't answer any of my calls or text and the last three times we've seen each other in person all you've wanted is to fuck before finding some shitty excuse as to why you have to go, or why i need to leave. it's fucked up dream, i'm a person too," his voice rises as he points at his chest in emphasis.

he loves dream, more than he has ever loved anyone, but he hates the way that his boyfriend has been making him feel. every day, sapnap feels like less of a human and more of an object and it's painful. how can someone he loves treat him so shit?

"i've been busy, sapnap, that's no reason to break into my fucking house and come scream at me!" dream retorts. he says it in a way that makes it seem like sapnap is being dramatic, but the ravenette doesn't think he is. he thinks it is fair to be upset over this. "why can you not understand that maybe i need some space?"
