Dream POV.

“God I’m exhausted.” George sighed, pushing past me as I opened the door of my bedroom before laying himself down on my bed. I tried to move around him, also feeling tired after a long day of answering questions and taking photos with all of my fans. I settled myself down one end of the bed, grabbing my charger and plugging in my phone.

“Do you think that Karl is back from the convention yet?” He asked me, immediately sitting himself back up and swivelling off of the bed.
“How should I know?” I questioned in response. “We only saw him during our panel and lunch, then he and Sapnap went wandering around.”

Without a word, disregarding the response that I had given him he stood up. “Maybe I should go and talk to him.” The brunette thought aloud. “He didn’t ask any questions at the panel earlier, maybe he was waiting so he could ask them one on one.”
“I think you’re overthinking this.” I scoffed.

“What is he overthinking?” Techno asked, appearing in the doorway. I looked up at him and rolled my eyes, signalling what George was doing.
“He’s going to talk to Karl, and we just got back." I explained.

"Seriously? You saw him a few hours ago." Techno reminded George. "He's goin' to think you're a stalker if you come talk to him again already."
"Last thing we need is some more allegations to come out." I muttered to myself, neither of the pair heard me as George and Techno faced off.

"I'm just going to be nice." George defended with a scoff. "Maybe you should try being nice sometime Techno." The pinkette's eyes narrowed.
"You mean like when I do all your chores at home?" He asked. "That kind of nice? With Dream treating you like a princess all the time and me allowing it?"

The two glared, reminding me of the fact that despite them both being older than me they were almost definitely petty children. But before I could step in as the responsible one George grumbled, rolling his eyes.

"You two are idiots." He stated. "I am actually grateful that my room isn't next to yours so I can get some space from your idiocy." He crossed his arms and headed out the door, out of respect to the hotel though he didn't slam it, instead just pressing it shut before disappearing down the hallway.

Techno and I exchanged a glance before the pinkette sighed. "Are we seriously going to let him continue to harass that poor rando?" Techno asked.
"It doesn't actually seem like that rando has any interest in George." I responded, keeping my gaze down as I continued to type.

"Seriously?" He cocked a brow, the sun caught his eye from an angle which made the red contacts glint maliciously. I nodded at him.
"Although they said they are just friends, I am confident that Karl and Sapnap like each other. Why else would they share a hotel room?"

Techno scoffed, rolling his eyes as well. It was clear he was thinking of me as some sort of hypocrite or idiot, so my own eyes narrowed. "What?" I asked.
"Well you always say 'me and George are just friends', just like they say they are just friends. Then you get annoyed when someone says anything different about you.”

I didn’t say anything since he, as usual, was correct about this sort of thing. The pinkette knew this and turned away. He didn’t say anything and instead decided to shift the conversation. “I was wanting to order some room service. Is there anything you are interested in?”

“No thank you.” I murmured, however I did spare a glance over at the menu to see what it was that they had to offer. Techno to his time to look over everything before standing up.
“Well, I won’t bother you any more. I’m gonna order something and then probably watch a movie.” He took a moment to stretch before walking out. “Have a good afternoon Dream.”

He walked out, leaving me alone. I adjusted my position so I was resting against the headboard and pulled my phone from my pocket, certain that I was finally getting some alone time. Usually I was always at risk of Techno or George barging in on me, since neither of them seemed to care about the rule of knocking on closed doors.

Whenever I had a moment alone and wasn’t focused on the thoughts of videos or business or making merch, I often found myself thinking about George. He had been a close friend of mine for years, just like Techno, yet I found myself attracted to George, not that I would ever admit my feelings out loud to him.

The brunette’s edits made up a large portion of my liked videos, on a separate alternate account of course. I just couldn’t help but admire the beautiful Brit. His soft pale skin, his fluffy brown hair, his piercing honey eyes. It was just adorable truth be told, usually being close enough to him was enough to indulge my imagination and bathe in his beauty, but not today.

I wished that he was as easily attached to me as he was to Karl, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. Instead all that he could focus on was his new neighbour, one that he was only going to be around for a week at most before disappearing back to Florida. That is unless Karl left earlier back wherever he came from.

Perhaps that is what had drawn George to him in the first place. He was a random boy who he would never see again, who he would be able to fuck before the week was over. If George was truly that desperate, which I doubted.

I sighed, continuing to scroll as my brows furrowed in frustration. The ideas which were just running in my imagination were annoying me. The idea that he would betray me for someone else, for someone who he didn’t know.

My head was against the wall separating my room from the two people we had just met, the brunette and the ravenette. It was silent in there. I had no knowledge as to what was going on with George and Karl, or if either of them were even there.

I simply decided it would be best if I forgot about this and went back to my videos.
