The Speedrunner and the Builder {A Dream x Reader}

Chapter 7: The Truth

~Clay's POV~

"Because... Because I love-" I cut myself off when I noticed the call had ended, 'Shit, was it something I said? Why'd she leave the call?' I thought to myself, panicking slightly as I tried to get a hold of her, calling her a couple times and texting her.

Clay
Did I do something wrong?
I'm sorry if I hurt you or did anything wrong, just please talk to me.. 😔
Y/N?
Please talk to me..
Y/N please... 🥺
Y/N I'm sorry...

She wasn't receiving or reading any of my messages, I checked her Socials and she hadn't posted anything since the stream and the tag #Y/U/NWasTaken was already trending on Twitter, even though it had only been a few minutes since the stream, though another tag was working it's way up to the leader board on trending as well..

#CancelY/U/N

I looked at the tag and knew who had started it.. My jealous fangirls.. I let out a sigh and opened the tag, reading through the posts under it.

Who does @Y/U/N think they are? Blowing up and taking our Dream when she barely knew who he was? She doesn't deserve him.

That was just one of the better ones among the rest, I blocked most of the users but I knew I couldn't block all of them and that I couldn't go without addressing the matter, so I sent out a tweet;

Ok, so about @Y/U/N's stream and all the hate she's getting from what happened. No we are not a couple, so no she does not deserve to be canceled or harassed over it. Anyone who continues to hate on her for what happened will be blocked by me personally.

Within minutes the replies and notifications started rolling in and I still hadn't heard anything from Y/N.. I was starting to really worry about her when I got a Twitter notification that caught my eye;

Y/U/N has sent you a message!

I opened it and read the message.

Y/U/N
Hey, srry the call cut out, my phone died and I have it charging while I use my computer rn 😅

I let out a sigh of relief and quickly replied;

Dream
I'm just glad you're safe and that you're not ignoring me ^^

Y/U/N
Yeah, srry again about my phone dying, what were you trying to say on call?

I froze for a second but decided to just tell her the truth rather than lying to her.

Dream
I was trying to say "Because I love you." 😅😳

I waited for her to respond, a bit nervous about how she might react as the typing notification appeared at the bottom of my screen.

Y/U/N
Oh 😳 Well.. I love you too 👉👈

I stared at the message for a little while, not exactly processing it as my brain wanted to shut down. Eventually I regained my bearings and responded.

Dream
You do?

I was still a bit dumbfounded that this amazingly sweet and creative girl would actually love someone like me.

Y/U/N
I do 👉👈

Dream
So... Wanna maybe go out on an actual date sometime.? 😅😳

Y/U/N
I'd love that ❤

I smiled at the message and closed my phone as I layed back in bed, still in a bit of disbelief but happy that this was actually happening. I stared up at the sealing as I couldn't stop smiling. Of course we'd have to keep this on the down low until we were comfortable with telling our fans about our relationship, but I am still glad I get to call her mine.
