Dream A Little Dream

Chapter 3

Orange frowned as she walked home, carrying a bag full of snacks and rented movies for when Blue got home, which was usually only half an hour after her, unless either of them made a de-tour like today.

She couldn't stop thinking about the blonde boy who ran into her before, and how much he fit Blue's description of Yellow (during the many times he was brought up).

She knew she was meant to be mad at him for what happened last night, but she also knew how badly Blue wanted to meet him.

Should I have talked to him? Orange wondered, failing to notice the person walking next to her. Maybe he lives around here, he did seem to be in a rush though...

"Orange? Hey Orange?" the person next to her called, frowning when the artist didn't answer. "Second!"

Orange jumped at her real name being shouted by a... vaguely familiar voice. "Green?"

"Hey Orange," her friend from college greeted with a small wave. "Been forever,"

Orange blinked at the brunette she'd had a crush on back then, and threw her arms around him in a hug, Green just chuckled and hugged her back.

----------

"How have you been?" Orange asked a few minutes later.

"Good, you still doing art?" Green asked casually.

Orange nodded brightly. "I work at an art studio now!" she stated proudly.

"Wow, you could become famous someday," the brunette said in awe. "I just work at a music store."

Orange beamed, Green had always wanted to work surrounded by his favourite thing; he'd wanted to be a musician, but a music store wasn't that far off, at least in her opinion.

"Do you want to come over?" Orange asked. "We were going to have a movie night."

"'We'?" Green repeated, confused.

"Ah, my roommate couldn't sleep last night, so we were going to have a movie night," Orange explained, realising Blue likely wouldn't want her telling Green the truth.

"Who's your roommate?" Green asked.

"Do you remember Blue?" Orange asked in turn.

"Your roommate in college?" the artist nodded. "How could I forget? You two are living together now?"

Orange nodded again, unable to keep from smiling at his look of awe, again.

"Huh." Green hummed, then nodded back. "Sure, I'd love to come over."

Orange lit up excitedly and tried to keep from hugging him again, even if he didn't mind. "I got your favourite movie too." she said, holding her bag up.

The brunette raised an eyebrow, not having the heart to tell her his favourite movie changed in the few years since college.

Orange led him to an apartment building and up to the top floor.

"Last door on the left," Green laughed. "Same as your college dorm."

Orange grinned. "Blue's friends with the people who gave it to us, I still think it was intentional."

"Oh, hey Orange," Blue greeted as she approached the reunited friends. "And... is that Green?"

"Hey Blue, been a while," the brunette greeted, wondering if she was going to hug him as well.

Blue just nodded with a yawn.

"Um, we can do the movie night tomorrow if you're tired." Orange offered.

Blue waved her off. "It's alright,"

Orange just stared worriedly at her.

"If you wanna skip to spend time with your boyfriend though," Blue yawned again while Orange's face exploded and she started spluttering. "Could you open the door?"

Orange blinked, just realising she had yet to unlock the door, and scrambled to do so.

Blue rolled her eyes, while Green chuckled, muttering something about how some people never change, the dark haired girl unable to keep from agreeing.

"Sorry!" Orange cried as she got the door open and everyone went inside.

"Yeah..." Blue mumbled to herself, deciding not to force herself to stay awake. "Sorry Orange, but I'm going to bed."

Orange just waved her off. "Say hi to Yellow for me."

Blue just waved as she began toward her room, taking a minute to realise what Orange just said, whose hands were now clamped over her mouth.

"Yellow..." Green frowned at the two. "You know Yellow?!"

Orange and Blue looked at each other in confusion.

"I've never met him," Orange answered, frowning as the blonde from earlier came to mind. "Blue's known him forever though."

Blue was far too curious to tell Orange off like she normally would. "How do you know him?"

Green stared at the chef, maybe Blue was... "He's my roommate."

"What?!" Both girls shouted.

"Your roommate?!" Orange cried.

"Is he there now?" Blue demanded, exhaustion forgotten at the thought of finally getting to meet Yellow.

"Uh, no..." Green answered, sensing where this was going. "He's got work for another hour."

Blue's face fell.

"Can we go to your house anyway?" Orange asked, she never liked seeing Blue, or anyone for that matter, upset.

"Uh yeah, sure." Green agreed, wondering how he'd explain all this to Red.
