Decades Between Us

[3] ponder

It'd been two days since clay had met george, he had began contemplating whether to ask george if he wanted to meet up maybe to feed the ducks or even for a coffee.

Clay and george had spoken almost constantly since they met, whether that was through playing minecraft together or even through texts. He'd grown rather fond of his company.

He gained the courage and began to message george

[Dream: Hey, was wondering if you wanted to feed the ducks in hyde park or even just go for a coffee xD]
[GeorgeNotFound: Sounds like a plan :] See you in hyde in 30?]
[Dream: Epic :D]

George practically jumped at the message, he never went to get changed so quick.

Before he knew it he was walking through the gates of hyde park; the male in the distance catching his eyes, clay.

"Hey!" Clay beamed, a smile across his face.
"Hi clay"
"Sorry for such a sudden message, was just feeling rather bored sat about indoors"
"it's not a problem, i notice you took my advice" george giggled noticing the bag in clays hands. it was a transparent bag so he could see the seed mix and sweet corn
"well after all, i don't want the ducks to be sick"
"good, i'm glad" george sat on the bench and began mixing the seeds with the sweet corn whilst clay followed his actions, doing the same.

They threw out the mix, watching the ducks swarm, some began honking at each other, the feistier ones like the geese attacked one another.

"arent you cold?" george looked over at dream who was wearing just a t-shirt, considering it to be late october george believed he should be more layered up in the clothing he was wearing
"not at all" clay smiled throwing out some more seed mix
"hm if you say so" george rolled his eyes playfully and got back to observing the ducks

"clay can i ask you something?"
"sure, whats bothering you"
"nick, does he dislike me?"
"honestly, yeah. He will warm up to you though i promise"
"he just seems so hostile towards me, the remarks he makes can be cruel"
"that's just nick, especially with people he doesn't know. i can assure you he's a softie though" clay chuckled, he put his hand into the pot realising he'd run out of mix, george gestured his pot with a smile and clay took some.
"i'll take your word for it"

"would you like to come back to my place?" clay gave a warm smile in georges direction
"sure" george stood and followed clay
"it's only temporary, it's an air bnb after all. so it isn't going to be brilliant"
"i'm sure it's fine, stop pissing your pants"
"i'm not! i'm simply just saying-"
"all i hear right now is you going peepee poo i'm such a little pissbaby"
"real mature george" clay chuckled playfully shoving the older man
"it's nice to let loose a little every now and then" george giggled wiping a happy tear from his eye

They arrived at clays airbnb, it was relatively small. a two bedroom, yet he'd used a bedroom for storage. it was incredibly modernised, clear marble with the kitchen having a black and white layout. The home was warm, george began to take his scarf and gloves off, clay gestured to take them and he did. Clay placed them on the counter then gestured to the living room.

"i've only known you a few days george but i can already tell we're meant to be the best of friends" clay smiled
"i feel that way too, i've not ever connected with somebody as i have with you"
"you're a good person george"
"there's just, something so familiar about you clay. i cant quite put my finger on it" george chuckled looking up from the leather sofa he was sat on
"a lot of people say that, maybe it's the fact that i stream?"
"no, not at all. it seems to be so much more than that"
"peculiar, i'm sure it's just coincidence"
"possibly"
"enough serious talk, i want to play some minecraft"
"well come on then, not much use saying so but still sitting on your fat arse" george smirked standing
"you're staring at my ass, jeez george we've only just met"
"you're such a dick"

The two spent the rest of their day playing various video games and laughing before eventually george left and went home, upon waking through his door he noticed his phone go off

[Sapnap: Are u with clay] 50 Minutes Ago
[Sapnap: Just leave clay alone, it's better for the both of you] 43 Minutes Ago
[Sapnap: He's being stupid, soon you'll realise i was right george. You're getting yourself involved in a dangerous game here] 30 Minutes ago
[Sapnap: This is ridiculous] Just now

George raised an eyebrow reading the messages, he never understood why people would send such messages without context. He shrugged it off and left them on read, he knew nick didn't like him as it was, he probably was just trying to scare him off.

He didn't quite understand what nicks issue was, jealousy? But that can't be right, clay had mentioned how nick and karl had been dating for a few years, so what was it?
Was nick purely just having ill intention, trying to keep Clay to himself?

Maybe nick was just spiteful after all.
George took clays word and could only hope that Nick would grow to him.
