treehouse

chapter 1.

"bye, everyone!" I said as I pressed the red button that stated 'end stream'. This moment always had a weird feeling. The moment where the call would lay silent for a bit and I would just sit there in peace and try to think about what had happened. I loved these moments. These moments when the only sound I could hear was dream typing or when he'd laugh to himself. It was truly a moment of peace.

This was shortly interrupted by the sound of Sapnap joining the call. He spoke to us about an idea he had for a video. But I could hardly concentrate on his words as my mind was somewhere else in this moment.

"George?" Dream quickly spoke. I all of a sudden came back to reality and carried on the conversation with Sapnap and Dream. It had been half an hour later and now we were discussing the Dream SMP and how crazy these past couple of months had been. Sapnap eventually left to go join Karl's stream but I decided to not join them tonight. It was already really late and I was drained from the stream today.

"George, are you okay" dream said in a very tired voice. He was always the person who realized when I wasn't speaking much and knew something was off.

"Yeah, I'm just tired, ill probably be heading off soon anyway" I replied to Dream.

"Today's stream was fun" he spoke. I replied in agreement. The stream was fun but so was anytime I was with dream. It was a weird sort of friendship. Id never had a friend I was this close with before, I felt like I could tell him anything. He gave me a warm type of comfort anytime I heard his voice or saw his name pop up. Whenever I wasn't speaking to him he is still always in the back of my mind. Sometimes I just want everyone else to go away. Except him.

I suddenly went back deep into thought and before I could think about what I was saying I blurted out the words, "You're not gonna leave me are you?" why did I ask that. why would I say that. God, I sound so pathetic.

"No, of course not why would you even ask that?" he replied with slight concern in his tone.

"I'm not sure, I'm just scared I guess" Why am I so stupid. He's going to think I'm so strange. "scared of what?" he asked with even more concern in his tone. How do I answer that? So many different answers flew around my mind.

"of losing you" I replied suddenly. shit. I am stupid.

"That's cute but you don't need to be scared, I would never leave you," he replied. The call fell silent. I didn't know how to reply. I've always been so bad in these situations. I never know how to reply or even what to think. I don't deserve a friend like Dream. He really does amaze me and I don't want to ruin this or even scare him away.

It was now 4 am and I finally decided it was time to go to sleep. After hours of talking to Dream about the most randomness topics he had said his goodbyes and left the call around ten minutes ago and since then id just been sat in my chair listening to spotify. I closed spotify after having Treehouse on loop for ten minutes and turned off my computer. I stumbled into my bathroom in a sleepily manner and picked up my toothbrush. While I was brushing my teeth with the minty flavour stinging my mouth, my phone lit up with a notification.

It was a text from Dream.

the words on the phone read as "goodnight, sleep well :)". I couldn't help but smile at how cute he can be. I quickly picked up the phone and typed out the reply

"goodnight to you too I guess (:" I pressed the power off button and the phone screen went black.

As I was about to drift off to sleep I couldn't help but think about the lyrics of that one song.

Why can't everyone just go away?

Expect you

You can stay.
