Forever Yours

4. Feral Boys

Shit, shit, shit, Dream thought to himself. He was in the middle of making lunch when Quackity called him to break the news,

"We're coming early now to see you guys" he said excitedly through the phone. Dream really wanted to see them too, but he was hoping for more time alone with George before the rest of the boys came. Their beach trip yesterday felt so surreal.

"So when are you guys coming then?"

"Tonight! Isn't that sick? We were able to re-schedule our flights so hopefully we'll all be there around the same time after 6" Quackity sounded ecstatic.

"Wow, it's gonna be so cool to finally meet you guys" Dream breathed out. Will he still be able to have those soft precious moments now between him and George?

The pair talked for a little while longer, before hanging up and letting Sapnap and George in on the news.

"Oh my god what should we do?! Maybe a movie night at home? Show them around?" Sapnap rambled with a huge grin on his face. The other two went back and forth with him for a while on how they'll spend the first night with their best friends, but Dream had a furrow in his brow.

"You okay, Dream?" George asked, a hint of concern in his silky voice.

"Yeah yeah just excited 's all" He tried to give a reassuring smile, but George didn't seem convinced. Thankfully he dropped the subject anyways, phew.

They spent the majority of the afternoon setting up the spare rooms, while Sapnap went to get groceries. As Dream straightened out the pillow on one of the guest beds, a devilish smirk came across his face.

George noticed, "Dream what are you smiling abou-" He was quickly cut off when a soft pillow slammed right into his face, causing a slight burn of pain to emerge. Dream couldn't contain his laughter, a kettle-like wheeze escaped his mouth. George smiled fondly.

"You're gonna pay for that asshole" He said, picking up the pillow and chucking it at Dream's head. Dream jerked his arms up to cover his face just in time.

The pair went back and forth, tossing pillows at each other's faces and straight out whacking each other with them. Pillow feathers and light-hearted giggles filled the small bedroom. George went to grab a pillow that fell from his arms, before being halted by large hands around his stomach, pulling him back.

"Let me go Dream!" He protested, kicking and struggling to release himself from the taller man's grasp.

"Not until you say you love me" Dream pressured the older boy.

"Shut up I'm not gonna say that" George said. Dream could practically hear his blush in his tone.

"Guess you'll never escape me then"

George giggled as Dream began tickling his sides. God damn it, how'd he know I was ticklish? Bent over in laughter mixed with pain, the boy couldn't contain himself. He also couldn't help but notice the warm burn Dream's fingertips left on his clothed waist.

The struggle went on for about 30 seconds, before George couldn't take it anymore. "OKAY FINE!" He yelled, "I love you dream"

"I know you do" Dream smiled, letting go of the boy after giving him a small hug from behind. George's words tugged at his heart, and made his mind go foggy.

Dream knew he meant it platonically, but he couldn't stop replaying the short sentence in his head. It sounded so right falling from his lips, I love you dream I love you dream I love you dream.

"I love you too" George's breath hitched for a second, before relaxing. The words shot through his body like a bullet, leaving him weak.

The two cleaned up their mess and finished setting up the bedroom in absolute silence; a comfortable, sweet silence.
