Skinny Love (DreamNotFound)

TW's:
-Eating disorder

It was a while later and everyone was okay again. I ate more, George looked happier and Sapnap was glad everything was alright between us. I couldn't express how happy I was when George came out. I had a chance again! He liked boys, I liked boys and I liked him. Who knew. I wanted to go a step further and started flirting with him more. He always blushed slightly, I only didn't think he really liked me. I just liked to have a little hope.

Sapnap was planning on watching a film today and I had already made some plans. I was going to wrap my arm around him and flirt with him. I wanted to kiss his cheek again, but that went too far.

'Ooooh, I heard this film is beautiful,' I heard George say enthusiastically.

'Not as beautiful as you are,' I mumbled.

'What was that, Dream?' Sapnap asked smirking.

George blushed and looked flustered at ground. 'Thanks, Dream.'

'Thank you for giving me this cute and beautiful sight to look at.'

'Shut up,' he said hiding his flustered face.

'You two lovebirds, sit down. I'm starting the film.'

We already had dinner and Sapnap prepared some popcorn. I wasn't planning on eating it, but it was a nice idea. The film started five minutes later and George sat next to me. Sapnap knew of my plans, I only needed to find my courage.

When the film was halfway I decided to do it. I acted like I yawned a little and wrapped my arm around his shoulders. He smiled and blushed at the same time and before I knew he rested his hand on my leg. His thumb slowly rubbed over my knee. My stomach seemed to explode, butterflies swirled through my stomach like crazy. Was he feeling the same? Did he also have those butterflies?

I grabbed his hand with my other hands and our fingers entangled. Did he think this was weird? Did he like it? Did he just think it was friendly and not because I liked him? We held hands for the whole film and I didn't notice anything of the film anymore. I was constantly looking down at our hands locked. I was so in love. The film ended and our hands let go of each other.

'Uh-,' George started. 'I'm sorry,' he chuckled awkwardly.

'For what?'

'Uh- holding your hand, I didn't know if you wanted too.'

'I did, I'm glad to be on good terms with you again. I'm so happy to be friends again.'

'Same, I cried so hard every night,' George said staring at the ground.

'Same.'

He hugged me and held me tight. We broke the hug after ten seconds and looked at each other.

'You're eyes are so beautiful,' I whispered.

'No yours are.'

I felt myself leaning in a little. I could try again to kiss him right? Just once, if he didn't like it, he would probably tell me. I startled a little when I saw him leaning in too. I closed my eyes and tilted my head a little. I could almost feel his lips brush against mine, and then-

Sapnap sneezed...

'I'm so sorry,' he whispered. 'I uh-.'

'It's uh- fine, we weren't uh-,' I stuttered.

'We weren't kissing. I uh- just wanted to uh- HUG!'

'Same!' I said ashamed. I kind of believed him. Maybe he actually didn't want to kiss and was he just trying to hug me. He hugged me again and let go of me, his face was bright red. I knew mine was too and I walked away from him. Sapnap walked with me and started whispering.

'Dude, he wanted to kiss you.'

'No, he didn't, he was just trying to hug me.'

'He closed his eyes to kiss you.'

'No, he didn't. He was just trying to hug me, nothing more. Don't give me hope. He wanted to hug me.'

'I'm so sorry for sneezing.'

'You can't help it, just the wrong timing. I mean maybe it was the best timing. I would have made a fool of myself if I kissed him and he rejected me.'

'He wouldn't reject you.'

'He definitely would. He doesn't like me.'

Sapnap sighed. 'Bet.'
