Video Call

A/N: I'm feeling depressed. time to spice things up

Dream had pulled out a plastic foldable chair and was sitting next to Sapnap. They were at Sapnap's computer desk. Sapnap was playing COD and Dream was kind of just there hanging out like a younger sibling did when their older sibling was playing. He didn't really want to be alone.

His conversation with George the day before had left him in a whirlwind of emotions and he'd went into his room to take a 'nap.' Sapnap didn't push to see what was going on. Dream probably should have done the same with George, but he couldn't help himself. Thankfully George didn't have any hard feelings and they still talked everyday, at least once on the phone as well.

"RIGGED!" Sapnap shouted, slamming a hand down on his desk. "That was bullcrap, I should've made that."

Dream couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Nope, that's it," Sapnap said bitterly exiting the game. "I should've made that, it's not funny, Dream. Stop laughing. This isn't a joke."

It only made Dream laugh harder.

"Stop laughing!" Sapnap exclaimed, but Dream's wheeze was terribly contagious. "It's not funny!"

"You're laughing!"

"Yeah, at you! Gosh, that's so annoying. What should I do now? I'm not going back on that game. It's rigged."

Dream calmed down. "I don't know," he said. "You're no better at minecraft so-"

Sapnap hit Dream's arm as Dream started laughing all over again. "I am not, you're so rude!" Sapnap protested. "Actually, what should I do?"

Dream slowly stopped laughing again. "I don't know, is anyone on right now?" he asked.

"Let's see," Sapnap replied, checking Discord. "That british child is streaming right now but I don't want to talk to him - ooo Gogy is on but it doesn't look like he's doing anything. Should I video call him?"

Dream tried to keep a straight face, but Sapnap wasn't even looking at him. "Sure," he replied. "Has George even seen me before?"

Sapnap shrugged. "I think he has, probably not in a while though," he replied. "It'll be funny to surprise him." He clicked on George and video called him.

Dream stared at him and Sapnap in the screen. He wasn't sure why his heart rate was increasing, but it almost felt like he was nervous to see George. Get over yourself, he's your friend. Stop over thinking it.

George answered. Dream and Sapnap were replaced by George. He was sitting at his desk like always, headphones on, in a simple grey sweatshirt. George looked at the screen and looked surprised for a second, then his face evened out.

Sapnap giggled. "Hi," he said. "You look surprised."

"Sorry, I just wasn't expecting to see Dream," George replied slyly, running one hand through his hair. "I don't know why I just didn't expect it even though you guys live together now."

"A good surprise?" Sapnap raised his eyebrows at George, who rolled his eyes, but his face had turned red.

"You're ridiculous," George said. "Hi, Dream, nice to see you."

Dream smiled. "Nice to see you, too," he said.

"Wow, you guys are so formal," Sapnap said. "Dream and I were bored so we figured we would video call just because."

"Actually," Dream said. "Sapnap was mad because he sucks at COD so he quit the game-" he started laughing as Sapnap slugged him in the shoulder.

"Stop saying that!" Sapnap snapped. "It was lag, okay? Rigged. Bull crap. I made that shot and the game is just stupid. Stop saying I'm bad, you're bad. You don't even play, you have no room to talk."
