what are you doing, Step Dream? (dream x reader)

[three] you

"You have to see this."

It was eleven PM. You were texting your friend and they'd sent you a Minecraft video. It was titled "Minecraft Speedrunner VS 2 Hunters" and it had a ton of views.

"His manhunts are like whole ass movies. This guy is 1000 IQ and his channel's exploding like crazy."

'Dream'. What a weird choice for a name.

Ah well. You "had" some time to kill. Maybe watching these could help you get back into Minecraft in time for Clay's stream.

It took you two seconds after tapping on the video to have to set your phone back down.

—————————

The next morning, you had binge-watched all of Dream's - no, Clay's - most popular videos. Not only did your step-brother have 2 million subscribers, but he had a cult of fans praising him for being a badass big-brain Minecraft god. Honestly, you could see why.

Witnessing 'Dream' made you feel closer to Clay and a LOT more intrigued about him.

You grinned. What would your buddy say if you told him the green smiley guy was your goddamn step-brother?

"Hey." Oh. You saw the man behind the smiley himself standing at your open doorway, holding a bowl out to you. "You want some?"

You slid out of bed and took the bowl. "Ice cream. Thanks, Dream."

Clay blinked. Whoops. You hadn't meant to call him that. You blamed the fact that it rhymed.

"Uh. I mean, thanks for the Cream, step-bro."

"No no no, it's fine," he dragged a hand through his hair. "I mean, I did invite you to my stream. I'm fine with you knowing, it's not a secret."

You were blushing. Why. "Rad, yeah, you did. Dumb me."

"You're not dumb! You would have known by next week."

"You know, my friend sent me one of your videos yesterday. That's how I found out." Cleam smirked at that. "Thanks for the heart attack, by the way."

"Sorry, ___, but that's on your friend, and that's hilarious."

"You're not allowed to say that. Not to one of the top 15% of people who watch your videos."

Clay burst into laughter, and yep. That was the laugh. You couldn't help but giggle. He seemed a little surreal to you. "You're awesome. Thanks for being cool about it."

"No, like I really like your vids. I didn't know you had like a billion IQ or whatever."

He wiped an eye, still smiling. "I do. I'm in the compilations."

"You know there are probably a bunch of girls in love with you, right? You should get a Minecraft girlfriend."

"Place a bed next to someone's bed, is that what you're saying?"

"Yeah so you can scream at them to sleep next to you. Oh wait no, that was George, not a girl. Fitting though. You two are cute. What did he send you that one time, by the way?"

"Secret. Also, I can't believe my own step-sis thinks I'm gay for GeorgeNotFound. I'm in those compilations too."

"Dumbass. I support you."

You both started laughing and he left a while after, back to his room to grind some more.

He was cute. Your ice cream was completely melted.
