Chionophobia {Dream x Georgenotfound}

Chapter 2

Dream wakes up the next morning having entirely forgotten about every single plan he, George, and Sapnap had made the night before. He picks up his phone, it buzzes in his hands and he blinks slowly, yawning as he unlocks it. The bright white light of his phone screen causes him to squint as he navigates to the Discord app, opening it.

He sits up. "Fuck," he breathes, "I bought plane tickets last night." He quickly scrambles out of bed, phone in hand, and nearly falls on his ass as he stumbles into his kitchen. He checks the time- early, so he hadn't gotten much sleep- and grabs the landline off of its receiver. He messes up three times before it finally starts ringing, and he brings it to his ear.

"Mom?" He speaks, voice still groggy and rough.

"Clay? What's up kiddo, everything okay?" She sounds surprised, and he hears his sister in the background of the call. He smiles fondly.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm... going on a trip in about a week and a half. I was wondering if maybe you'd watch Patches while I'm away? I can drop her off the day I leave before I head to the airport. I don't think you'll have her for too long, but-"

"Of course. Don't worry about it, I got you. Where are you going, if I'm allowed to ask?" His mom interrupts his worrying, a smile present in her voice. "Something with Nick? Or a YouTube thing?"

Dream chuckles softly. "A thing with Nick. And George too, finally. We're going to Colorado, we figured it'd be a nice change of pace. Sap really wanted to go somewhere random, to be spontaneous, and I just wanted to see snow-"

"On a plane? You'll be flying, Clay?" His mother sounds vaguely worried. "Do you have any medicine or something to calm stress? You know how you get on planes, and I worry. I don't want you to be super panicked while going to meet your friends. I'm glad you'll be meeting George, though. Tell him my offer still stands. He's welcome to dinner any time."

"I know. I don't do well on planes, but I'm pretty positive I'll do just fine this time. I'll probably just take something and sleep through most of it. We've been planning this for so long- I'm not going to let a little bit of plane anxiety stop me. When have I ever been known to give up?" He smiles softly, then chuckles. "Are you sure you want another dinner guest? Remember what happened when we invited Sapnap? I'm pretty sure Patches is still scared of him." He laughs, and his mother does as well.

"Okay, Clay. Listen, you just drop her off before you head to the airport and we'll watch her for however long you'll be gone. Speaking of that, how long do you plan to be away?"

Dream bites his lip. "Two weeks, I think. That sounds about right." On the counter, his phone is buzzing like mad, and he can only assume it's Sapnap blowing him up so much. "Listen, I gotta go, but I'll text you details, yeah?"

"Of course. I love you!" She smiles, and once Dream responds with an "I love you, mom," of his own, she hangs up.

Grabbing his phone, Dream frowns. It was, in fact, Sapnap, but it was George too. Their Discord group chat, and he felt bad for ignoring it. Though he was speaking to his mother. He'd been mentioned several times, and there was lots of his name in all caps as he looked at the notifications. He could see that both George and Sapnap were already in a VC, and he wondered how long he'd been on the phone with his mother. It hadn't felt like that long, but-

His phone began buzzing in his hands once again. Dream snapped back into focus, seeing that it was a Discord call from George. He answers quickly.

"Hello?-"

"DREAM! Get in the VC, what the hell have you been doing? Did you just wake up or what? Come on!" George says, sounding a bit aggressive but chuckling at the end.
