I would like to say this is NOT my story. The original is from the app ao3 (the authors username is tbhyourelame). Some people don't have access to ap3, or can't use it, so i'm putting the story here. here's more of their social media's: ao3: tbhyourelame twitter: tbhyourelame1 discord: tbhyourelame#6938 tumblr: heyrherestilinski 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. -- inspired by the song "heat waves" by glass animals
