George POV

“George wake up, you are going to make us late.” A voice spoke up, disturbing the nice and peaceful sleep that I had found myself in.
“Seriously George. We need to leave for the airport in an hour and you haven’t woken up, nor have you packed your bog.” Another voice chimed in, this one deeper and more monotone.

I continued to sleep. The two voices were basically just insects with the purpose of annoying me, and so I didn’t need to pay either of them any mind. But the insects didn’t leave, instead each of my arms were grabbed and I was yanked up. Damn it, the insects had woken me.

“What was that for?” I asked, still feeling sleepy despite the suddenness of being yanked upwards. “I was having quite a nice dream.”
“Was it about making us late?” I glared over at Techno who was just being plain old disrespectful and uncaring about me being tired.

“No, it was where I had the ability to fly.” I crossed my arms and looked away from him, listening to him muttering a ‘whatever’ before leaving the room. When he was gone I opened my eyes, looking over at Dream. “I don’t know why you let him live with us.” I stated.
“Because he is part of the Dream Team, just like you are.” Dream reminded me.

“He shouldn’t be.” I complained. “He always moves my stuff when he cleans. I put everything in a place I know and then he shifts it.”
“It’s called cleaning George.” Dream chuckled. “The three of us share a house and if we were all as messy as you I think we’d have a rat infestation. But maybe you British people like that.”

I spluttered at the insult, blush rising on my face as he grinned. “Now hurry up and shower and pack your bags.” He instructed, as though he was some kind of parent.
Before he had the chance to walk out the door I asked him. “Please can you make me breakfast?” I looked at him hopefully. For a moment he considered before nodding.

When I was alone I looked over at the suitcase in the corner of my room, which Dream had put in here two or three days ago. The blond also disclosed that he recently brought it and this was the first time it had been used. I thought it was sweet of him to do, and walked over to the drawer to just grab a handful of my clothes before dumping it into my suitcase.

After brushing my teeth I’d also dump a bag of my toiletries. Just to make it seem like I had put more effort in then I had, I slammed the lid shut. That seemed like enough work to do for now and it had only taken two minutes, so I didn’t see the rush my roommates insisted there was.

I collapsed onto my messy bed and grabbed my phone which I had had on charge since last night. While I was waiting for Dream to deliver my breakfast (he would definitely bring me breakfast in bed, I know him too well), I began looking over my phone. There were all sorts of posts on TikTok, X, and Instagram about the convention.

Lots of people were showing off their cosplays and I liked each and every one that I came across. Then there was a video of a girl holding a Georgenotfound hoodie and she said she was hoping I’d sign it. Just to get the comments riled up I maliciously posted a comment of ‘Bought a new marker just to sign yours’ along with a winky face.

“George.” I jumped as Techno came through the door, carrying a tray of food with him. His eyes narrowed as he saw me still on the bed. “Seriously? You haven’t moved since I left.”
“I packed my bag.” I responded, pointing over to the suitcase but after cocking a brow he didn’t say anything, instead just putting a tray on my lap.

“Make sure you shower before you go.” He added on. “Since you stink George.” I playfully rolled my eyes, knowing that despite the stink of sleep I was like a flower.
“Whatever you say Techno, you’re the boss.” I spoke, bowing to him as I did.

The pink haired man just snorted as he turned to walk out of the room. “I know I am.” I smiled warily at him. Despite how he could annoy me he was still one of my best friends, and I did move to the US to live with him and Dream.

When he was gone I sat myself up and put the tray of bacon and eggs on my lap. Whichever one of them had ended up making me breakfast managed to cook everything perfectly and I was just remembering how hungry I was.

Dream POV.

“Did you take George his breakfast?” I asked, glancing over my shoulder at Techno who appeared in the doorway.
“No Dream, I just sat in the hallway and ate it myself in less than two minutes.” He responded sarcastically with his iconic monotone voice. “Of course I gave it to him.”

“And is he packed?” Both of us already had suitcases and backpacks by the door. One was packed with clothes for the week or so we’d spend in California for the convention, the other had chargers, snacks, drinks, and books to read. George had packed nothing as of when I was in his room five minutes ago.

“His suitcase is closed but it looks like he just threw stuff in there. He was watching TikToks or somethin’ when I was in there.” I sighed, that was to be expected of him. “I told him that he stank and that he needed to have a shower.”
“Good.” I replied. “He does need a shower.”

Next to me on the counter were two more plates of bacon and eggs, one of which I handed to Techno as he sat himself down. He raised a brow at me at the fact I included bacon when he was associated with pigs, yet he still ate. “So we are going to have to be at the airport by 9:30.” He recounted. “Our flight leaves at 10:30 and will land at 4pm.”

“Correct.” I nodded, stabbing a piece of bacon and shoving it into my mouth. “Then we get an uber to the Layview Hotel, which is right across the road from the convention centre.” Techno nodded as we both continued to eat.

We went over the plan, listing everything that was meant to happen. When our plates had been cleared Techno took them to the sink to rinse them. “I’m going to go check on George.” I said, standing up with a small smile. “He’s probably still in bed.”
“You might need to carry him to the shower, otherwise he’ll stay watching TikToks for hours.”

I chuckled yet nodded in agreement, heading upstairs to get the brunette.
