GEORGE'S POV

Dream and I are dating. I can't believe this has happened so quickly. I never expected this to actually turn into something. I'm still worried about the other day when I passed out. That has never happened before, maybe it was just from stress or something. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, right?

It was Thursday, so that means Dream and I have been dating for four days. It has been the best four days of my life, even though nobody knows we are together yet. Karl asked me about it, and I just brushed him off. Dream says he doesn't want anybody to know yet because he wants us to be a secret for a little bit. I mean it's ok if he doesn't want to tell anybody, but I don't want to have a secret relationship for months and months, it gets exhausting. I know Dream isn't like that, but if that happens, then I don't know what I will do.

It was later in the day after all of our classes were done, and I went into the cafeteria to get some food. I walked into the line that had already started before I got in here and looked straight forward with my arms crossed. After a few minutes, I could hear a familiar giggle. I looked behind me and saw Karl holding hands with Sapnap. I sighed. I wish Dream would do that with me.

I waved over to Karl and said "Hey, Karl!" He immediately looked over and started walking towards me with Sapnap following. "Hey, George!" Karl smiled brightly and hugged me. I squeezed him and let go. "Where is Dream at?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "I don't know." I shrugged. "Are you ok, George?" Karl asked. I moved up a little bit in line. "Yeah, I'm ok." I smiled before turning around to choose what I wanted to eat.

I could hear another familiar voice close behind me and looked over my shoulder. Dream. We made quick eye contact and I gave him a small smile before grabbing my food order. I mumbled a quick 'Thank you' to the lady before walking away and sitting at a small table. I watched as Dream cut in line with Karl and Sapnap. I smiled and shook my head. Idiot. I watched as Karl and Sapnap walked to my table, hands intertwined. Dream was never going to go public like that with me. I looked away and opened my styrofoam box full of mac and cheese.

I don't know why I was overthinking so much, we have only been dating for 4 days. I remind myself. I opened the package of plastic silverware they gave me and pulled out the spork. I dug it into my mac and cheese and stuffed a bit in my mouth. Karl and Sapnap took the two seats across from me, which only left Dream to sit by me.

"What is it with you and mac and cheese?" Sapnap laughed. I looked up from the container still shoving another bite into my mouth. "Shut up, Sapnap." A noodle flew out of my mouth and landed on Sapnap's arm. Me and Karl both burst out laughing. "EW, George, what the fuck!" Sapnap yelled shaking his arm to get the noodle off, but it didn't come off. I laughed harder and covered my hand with my mouth.

"George!" Sapnap looked at me. "Get it the fuck off!" I held my hand out and grabbed the noodle off of his arm. He thought it was funny to wipe it onto Karl's hoodie. "Sapnap!" Karl whisper-yelled. "You are so disgusting." As Karl was wiping his hoodie sleeve onto Sapnap, I heard squeaky shoes getting closer to our table. I looked up and saw Dream. He was so handsome. His eyes were beautiful, and his freckles made his whole face light up.

I smiled at him, and he smiled back. As soon as he made it to our table, he sat in the open chair by me and set his tray down. "Hey." He spoke to everyone at the table. "Hi, Dream!" Karl waved. "Hey." Sapnap half smiled. I just sat there blushing. "H-Hi, Dream." His hand was crawling slowly up my thigh. I put my hand on top of his, stopping his moving hand before it could go any further.

"Someone is nervous." Sapnap teased. I just blushed and gave him the middle finger. "Shut the fuck up, Sapnap." I flung a cheesy noodle at him. I pushed Dream's hand off of my leg and continued eating.

Everybody but me was talking at our table while we ate. Today just isn't a good day. "What about you, George?" Sapnap asked. I looked up from my food with wide eyes. "Huh?" I mumbled. "I was thinking we could all take a friend trip and go to the mall in a little bit. What do you think?" Sapnap looked at me with questioning eyes. I thought for a moment.

"Uhm, sure." I smiled. "Why not." Sapnap silently cheered to himself and Karl was just looking at him with loving eyes. "What time?" I asked, closing my container of food. "How about 5?" Sapnap answered. I just nodded. "Sure." I got up to go throw my food in the garbage.  "I'm just going back to my room for a bit," I spoke to the group. Karl and Sapnap nodded, but Dream was just looking at me with wondering eyes. I just walked away before anybody could ask questions.

DREAM'S POV

George walked off without even looking at me. I wonder if I did anything to hurt him, or maybe the hand on his thigh was too much? I looked around the cafeteria for a bit before I told the rest of the group that I was going to go back up to my room.

As I was on the way up to my room I was thinking about all the things I might have done to make George upset. I walked down the hall to the dorm and opened the door. I could see George sitting on the couch looking at something on his phone. As I walked in the door he looked up and made eye contact for a second before looking back down at his phone.

I closed the door and walked over to the couch. I lifted his feet and sat down, laying them back down on my lap. "Hey," He looked up from his phone and smiled at me. "Are you ok, George?" He shut off his phone and sighed. "Yes, Dream, I'm ok." He took his feet off my lap and sat up.

"You would tell me if you weren't ok, right?" He just looked at me without answering. "I'm not ok, Dream." He spoke, getting off of the couch. He stood in front of me before speaking. "I don't know if I want to be a secret. I want us to be real, and I understand if you can't give that to me." He looked down and put his hands at his sides.

It took me 2 seconds before I grabbed the back of his thighs and pulled him onto my lap. He gasped and put his hands over my shoulders. "Dream-" I put one of my fingers to his lips to shush him.

"I want to give you everything, George." I smiled. "I only said that I wanted to be secret because I didn't know if you were ready for another relationship so soon." I laid one of my hands on his waist. "I will give you everything and anything you have ever dreamed of." I put my other hand on his back. "You are the only one I want to be with, George, and I want to make sure I'm not rushing you, or making you feel like you can't be with me." He smiled and put one of his hands in my hair.

"George, you are everything to me. If you want to be public, then we will go public, but you need to tell me if you aren't ok with something, I want you to tell me." He nodded in understanding. "Yes, Dream, I want to be public, I want everything with you." I put both of my hands firmly on his waist and dragged them up and down. "Me too, George." He leaned in and kissed me passionately. Both of his hands were now in my hair, and mine were roaming his body.

After a few seconds, both of us pulled away, breathless. "Your hair is messed up now." George giggled. I just shook my head. He tried to fix my hair for me but I stopped him. "Don't worry about it, George. Go get ready for the mall." He kissed my nose gently and got up. "I will be right back." He ran off to his room. I pulled out my phone and put on the camera to fix my hair.

After a few minutes, George came out of his room in a pair of baggy blue jeans and my hoodie.

"George, when did you take my hoodie?" I stood up from the couch and walked up to him. "Hmm, maybe two days ago?" He giggled. I put my hands on his waist and smiled. "It looks good on you." I looked him up and down. He flicked me on the forehead. "I know it does, nimrod" I hooked my hands on the back of his legs and lifted him up, so his they were around my waist.

"I might just give them to you to wear instead of you taking them." I watched as he blushed a dark shade of pink before he laid his head on my shoulder. I just laughed at him. "Hush." George pulled away from me and looked me in the eyes. "I'm so happy to be with you, Dream."  I smiled and put my nose up to his. "Me too, George, I am so happy." I leaned him and kissed him on the lips in a loving way. I set him down on the ground and grabbed his hand.

"Let's go to the mall."
