I miss you - DNF

• waiting •

Clay's eyes slowly lifted, looking over to the other bed. Sapnap had decided to spend the night in their room, but the reason why was anybodies guess. Sapnap seemd to be scrolling Twitter on his phone. His expression was nervous, a little bit fearful. Perhaps this could be because George went missing last night. Clay sat up, looking at Sapnap as he did so.

"Nick, how are you doing?"

Sapnap looked up at Clay, wondering how he looked so nonchalant when his best friend and possible lover went missing. Nick sighed, looking down at his phone and continuing to scroll Twitter.

"Well Twitter is having a feild day with this"

Both went quiet, a rare occurrence for two Americans in their twenties. But suddenly, Sapnaps phone went off with a Discord notification. Clay laid back down and checked his phone, wondering what was happening on Twitter. Meanwhile, Nick was reading the message.

The simple message read "I can only send one message a day. I miss you" and Sapnap knew who it was without even looking at the username. It was from George.

Both were tired, but knew that they had to get up and act like normal people. They had to do something about the situation on Twitter.

They had to go live

"What's up guys welcome back I'm Sapnap and I am joined by Dream"

"Hello!"

They streamed for hours, ignoring the whole George situation which everyone was talking about in the chat. For some reason, the mods started a poll on whether George was dead or somehow still alive. People started polling, and then Nick said something that he probably shouldn't have for him and his friend's safety.

"Mods can you turn that into a bet? Two minutes and then I will reveal the answer."

The mods rushed to do so, letting the viewers pour in hundreds of thousands of channel points just so they could get new ones or lose the ones they had. Almost nobody thought that in any world George could be alive. Soon the timer came to a stop, and the answer was revealed.

"George is alive"

The chat exploded, and Dream rushed to put the chat on slow mode. Even then, chatters had figured out how to talk quicker. It was a pandemic among chatters, it was hard for them to go a day without their sweet british looking boy from England. If only he were here, able to do what his fans enjoyed.

Soon after the stream ended, they realized that they had yet to eat. It was risky, but they had to eat something. However, there was nothing to eat in their hotel room. Their fans only show their generosity through crochet hats, amazing art, and beautiful words. However, no food was given so they were left hungry for something, but they couldn't describe what.

Eventually they decides on Arby's. Nobody ever goes there because of how rancid it is. While walking, they talk to each other to an extent that some might classify as flirting. Clay talks about the past experiences, retelling what he told once on stream.

"I dont know if you remember but as a kid I would only eat half of the bread cause It was so disgusting"

Nick cringed, not wanted to think about that call where he proposed to Alex. That call was long, and it had taken up a lot of time where he could have spent it looking for Manga in the stores near his house.

They arrived and ordered, and Clay used his parents gift cards to pay for all of it. They sat down and waited for their food. It was surprisingly empty, despite everyone being there for the convention.

The food came out and they ate, gossiping about different creators and
