If love isn't a game then why are we here? (badboybalo x dream)

"Cmon Dream!"
"No Zak"

Bad's POV
It was noon already and Skeppy hadn't come back yet, Sapnap had gone back to sleep and not to mention we haven't even heard from Dream for the past eighteen hours.

Oh my Goodness i needed to make up with Dream. Or make out- No! Make up with Dream.

Honestly i don't know why i was having these thoughts, especially since i'd been ignoring Dream since the last thing happened. Anyway, the point is that i need to resolve whatever was happening between me and him and i wasn't going to delay it any longer, i just needed to find my phone first.

After a couple minutes of frantic searching i found it down the side of the couch, to the side of one of the cushions. That happens a lot so i wasn't really surprised to find it there.

I opened my chat with Clay and regret filled my mind as i saw his pleads for me to come back from yesterday, i'd made him and the others so concerned for me and i was honestly so guilty, they shouldn't have to feel that way.

I gulped down all my fears and started typing to him.

'Hey Clay.. i'm sorry for what happened the other day, i wasn't thinking and i shouldn't have done that, i know. I get it if you don't want to stay friends anymore, that's completely your decision and i support whatever you choose, just know that i'll always love you'

I reread my paragraph at least a thousand times before sighing and deleting it all, that was too suss. Especially the whole i'll always love you. He didn't fee the same way so there's no point in trying to make him feel sorry for me.

'Hey Clay, i'm sorry about the other day, i hope you can forgive me'

It was a lot shorter but it got my point across and didn't come across as me being desperate so i chose to go with this one. I hit send and put my phone down, sighing again and forking a hand through my hair. This was too much stress on me at the moment, what with having Skeppy here and-

Oh my goodness, Skeppy hasn't come back yet.

That's what i was thinking of in the first place! I needed to find Skeppy, he was probably lost knowing him. I needed to text him and find out where he was.

Then i heard my phone ping.

'Of course i can forgive you! I should be the one apologising to you. Oh, Zak's here too, thought i should let you know'

Well that cleared up both of my problems, Zak was safe and Clay forgave me. I couldn't be happier but at the same time absolutely terrified. He might only be saying that because there was someone staying with me but who knows.

'Am i allowed to come over? It's okay if you don't want me to.'
'Hey of course man, no hard feelings :)'

I smiled down at my phone and hugged it to my chest, he gave me a smiley face! That and i could come over to his house.

'Thanks!'
'No problem dude'

I was halfway out of my door before i realised.

Dream's POV
I got one final text from Darryl that made me start laughing, he could be so adorably stupid sometimes.

'Uh. If you don't mind me asking, what is your address?'

I forgot that i hadn't given him my address before so i sent him it and placed my phone back down so i could continue my conversation with Zak. It was only a couple minutes before we heard a knock on the door, simultaneously standing up to answer it.

I beat him to the door and swung it open to reveal a slightly red Darryl, his cheeks being the reddest part about him, it did seem pretty cold outside still.

But-

Did Bad just leave Sapnap alone at his house?

"Uh Bad? Where's Nick?"
"Who's Ni- Oh my Goodness! I left him at my house!"

Zak must've overheard this because he instantly burst into a fit of giggles, Bad turning even redder if that was even possible and covering his face with his hands, quite obviously flustered. Zak needed to stop tormenting the poor guy.

"Hey don't worry about it, i'll text him to come over and we can all hang around here for a bit."

He nodded and i told him to go sit on a couch whilst i got him something. I ran up the stairs and to one of the cupboards in the bathroom, fixing it up and making sure it was ready before bringing it down to him.

I presented him with a bright green hot water bottle and he gratefully took it from me with a smile quickly spreading across his face, that made me feel warm inside. Just seeing him smile was enough to make me smile too. God i was too cheesy. It was true though, him being happy just sparked something inside of me.

I just wanted to stare at him for the entire rest of the day but he looked away once he noticed me staring, pretty sure i could see him blushing though.

I was like ninety percent sure that he had feelings for me just like Skeppy had said before. I wanted to test this theory but i didn't know how to other than revealing my feelings to him and i only wanted to do that as a last resort.

Either way i needed to figure something out so i just sat down and thought about what i could do.

I could always try to kiss him and see how he reacts. Hopefully that wouldn't be a do-over of last time. Or i could ask him why he kissed me in the first place. And the final option was to confess my feelings.

I think that asking him why he did what he did was the best way to go honestly, so that i did.

"Hey Bad?"
"Yeah?"
"Why'd you kiss me?"
