"She knows what DreamNotFound is?!" Dream shouted through Discord while laughing.

"I didn't even know that she knew what that is," George admitted, running a hand through his hair. He shook his head, laughing with Dream.

"I promise, you wouldn't be interrupting any bromance moments."

You shook your head. "I don't think so, guys. This is your trip, George."

Your brother shrugged. "If I go, I'm bringing everyone. I can't just leave you all here. It could be like a big vacation!"

A big vacation, with the whole family to the States? You didn't know about that. There was nothing for you in America. You were doing school, and working on finals, and way too busy to drop everything to travel across the country. Especially because you'd probably be spending most of your time sitting on your computer in a hotel room while George was out frolicking with Dream.

"Not to interrupt, but I did tweet that I would be streaming at noon." Dream's voice cut through. "And that's in about two minutes and I haven't even started OBS yet."

"Go stream!" George shouted. "I'll be muted. Send me a message when you want me to join you."

Dream said goodbye and George muted himself. He pulled up Twitch and began watching Dream's stream.

"Here's your laptop," George said, handing it to you. "It should be done in about ten minutes. Please don't get more viruses."

Sarcastically, you responded, "I'll try not to."

You stood up and headed back to your cave with your laptop and phone. A pink dust still covered your face. You weren't embarrassed, just a bit overwhelmed. Dream was just one of George's friends, just one of the boys. There was no reason to feel like this.

A notification buzzed on your phone. You hopped on your bed, getting swaddled in your duvet before opening it. It was just a Twitter notification from George, announcing that he'd be joining Dream on stream soon.

The last time you joined one of their streams, you regretted it. Maybe this time would be different.

You opened your laptop to Twitch and searched for Dream. He already had 70,000 viewers, and it was rising by the second.

He was finished with his introduction by the time you joined, explaining that it was another day of speedrunning (rip Dream's speedrun streams). He also said that George would be hanging out on call for a bit. The chat got excited and you rolled your eyes, watching them freak out.

"Alright, let's get started." He ran through a forest, but quickly restarted on a new seed, not even ten seconds after starting. "And we're already restarting. Good start to the stream."

You let the stream play as you did your homework. It was an essay for your finance class. You didn't enjoy finance, but it was required to get your degree. The hair on the back of your neck stood up when Dream spoke again.

"Guys, you'll never believe what I did." Dream paused for dramatic effect, drumming his hands on his desk. "I met GeorgeNotFound's sister."

Your face flushed bright red and your hands lifted off the keyboard as soon as he said the word 'sister.' You slapped your hand over your mouth, stifling a nervous chuckle, switching the tab to the stream and watching the chat erupt. Mostly, 'simp,' but a few genuine questions or inquiries.

"By met, I mean I spoke to her. On Discord. While George was fixing her computer."

This was when George joined the call again. "Dream," He said. You could hear that he was trying not to laugh. "You're not talking about my sister, are you?"

Absolutely, 100%, completely, not allowed. (Dream x Reader)Where stories live. Discover now
