            "Clay, I am muted now. I left Sapnap to mess around. Do you want to tell me what is going on or do you just want me to leave you alone?" George asked.

 Clay thought about what his response should be but all he could think about was the donation. George was just trying to be nice right? He wasn't trying to make me do a face reveal or tell him the secret? 

"Could you stay, please," Clay asked nervously. Clay could feel his breath coming back to him but he was still not fully ready to unmute. "Of course Clay. I will stay with you as long as you need," George said softly, "Deep breaths and count backward from 100."

 Clay could hear George's voice, but it wasn't really processing. "Ok, I will start 100, 99..." George said. "98, 97, 96, 96, 96, ummmm 95," Clay started.

 "Good good. Do you think you will be ready to play or do you want Sapnap and me to carry on," George asked. Clay's breathing was getting better but it still wasn't great. "I might be able to join in a couple of minutes but you should carry on without me for a couple of minutes," Clay responded.

                  A couple of minutes later... "Hi, I'm back sorry about that," Dream said. "That's ok Dream we were just about to go to the nether," Sapnap said happily. The chat was worried, but also happy that Dream was back. *Time Skip...* "YESSSS ok guys we beat the ender dragon and I think I am going to end the stream here. Bye," Dream said sweetly, "I love you guys!"

                      "Bye," Sapnap and George said almost in unison. Dream clicked the button to end the stream, and he raided Tommy. Finally, the mask could partially come off and he could be himself a small bit more. "So... I thought that went well," Clay said hoping to avoid his anxiety attack. "Yeah, but are you ok," Sapnap asked. Sapnap asking made Clay remember that donation again. His breathing began to shorten, but he couldn't let Sap worry about him, it just wasn't fair to put that pain on him. "SnapMap I am totally fine, I just had to deal with something," Clay replied unsteadily. "Ok... also please stop calling me that," Sapnap said with sarcastic anger. Clay didn't play it off well but he thought Sapnap was smart enough to tell Clay didn't want to talk about it. "Ok I have to go," Clay said, logging off the VC.

                                  Clay sunk down in his chair and sighed. Why did someone say that? Do they know? How do they know? "There is no way they know about who I am. Right Patches," Clay asked his cat that was trying to climb onto his lap. The small cat began to curl up in his lap. She was so cute and her soft purring slowly started to put Clay to sleep. Clay was almost asleep when all of a sudden his phone went off.

*<3 Georgie <3 wants to Facetime* Clay slowly moved Patches into her cat bed and ran to grab the small piece of stick tack he used to block the camera. He answered the FaceTime

                                           "Hey Georgie," Clay said quietly. "Dream, can you talk to me now, or do you just want to talk about work like we were planning too," George asked softly as if saying it any louder would hurt Clay. Clay's head was in another place though. All he could think about was the donation and having George see his face. He needed someone else to know.

                 "So George your birthday is coming up and I was wondering..." Clay started. "Yeah Clay..." George said inquisitively. "Ummm how would you feel about ummm," he said nervously. "Clay it's ok you can tell me just take a deep breath," George said quietly. Clay took a deep breath and started over. "George your birthday is coming up and I was wondering... If you maybe wanted to come to visit me in Florida. I could buy you a plane ticket and you could stay in the hotel down the street," Clay said quickly. Clay started to shake and was getting a little nervous because George wasn't responding. Did George not want to see him? Did George not want to see him? Oh my god, George didn't want to see him? 

                 "I would LOVE to come to visit you. Clay I-I can't believe it," George responded happily. Oh my god, George did want to see him. He really wanted to meet him! "Ok, I will buy the ticket right now!" Clay exclaimed. Clay opened up the American Airlines website and pulled up a first-class ticket from the UK to Florida. He was so excited that George was coming to see him but also really nervous. Why the fuck did he do this? This was a spur of the moment decision but it would be worth it when he saw George's face in person for the first time. 

               "Ok, I bought the plane ticket!" Clay exclaimed. "Hehehheheeh I am so excited! Oh Clay I have to go Cat wants food," George said. "Bye George. I love you," Clay said. "Bye Clay," George said waving goodbye. "Geeeorrge say I love you back," Clay whined. "Bye Clay," George said while hanging up.

                  Clay felt a sharp pain in his chest area. Fuck I need to take my binder off. I literally can't feel my chest. Clay started to pull his binder off and felt a sudden relief on his chest. "What am I going to do when George is here," he said to himself. I can't wear my binder for more than like 7 hours. I am so fucking screwed. Clay sighed and climbed onto the ground to lay next to Patches. As Patches purred, Clay/Dream fell into a fitful sleep.
