I usually don't read this type of stuff, but I kept seeing everyone on tiktok talk abt the song "Heat Waves" (which is an amazing song btw). They were all saying how the fanfic was great, and i was interested. soon enough i fell in love with the story- lol.
Summary:
Dream has always held a gentle admiration for George, but when their nuanced friendship trickles into his sleeping mind, he awakens to a new world of conflicting emotions and longing. Lost in the midst of a heat wave, he continuously listens to a song that works itself in to the very core of his heartache. Floridian nights, unsent messages, spiraling infatuation, and terrible, terrible weather.
A breath of frustration escapes George's lips. "I don't do that."
"You do. It's okay," Dream says. He feels pinpricks of warmth building in his chest. The words rise up faster than he can temper, laced with soft honey, "you're so cute."
The call falls silent.
They heard it. The affection in the tone of his voice, different than usual, no trace of humor. The way it came from the hearth below his heart, glowing with secrecy and shame-for George, and George only. They had to have heard it.

George's trip to Florida wasn't supposed to be like this.
He was dizzy, engulfed with nausea and splintering pain, and briefly, he realised that this wasn't jet lag, right before passing out cold on Dream's living room floor.
or
While their world is ending, two best friends realise how short and precious life is, and that it's okay to love. Oh, and there's one hell of a hurricane.

This story does include medical symptoms and diagnoses, and I tried to make it as accurate as possible through personal experience and research. Please don't use this fanfic in any way to self-diagnose things! If you're worried that something may be wrong with your health, then please see your doctor!
This story also includes a little on the topic/mention of cancer. I wrote this before Techno was sadly diagnosed with it, and I just wanted to say that this isn't meant to be a mock to cancer at all. It's a serious disease, and is not something to be joked about. Pray for Techno!!
Edit (1/7/2022): Rest in peace, Techno <3.
