Sushi

"What are we having for dinner?” Sapnap asked.

“I don’t know, I didn’t really plan anything,” Dream replied.

“I have an idea,” I said as I looked up from my phone.

“What's your idea George?” Dream asked.

“We order sushi,” I said to them both.

“I’m down!” Sapnap said rather loudly.

“Okay,” Dream pulled out his phone. “Where do I get it from?”

“It doesn’t matter,” Sapnap told him.

Dream ordered the sushi and then slid his phone back into his pocket. "It should be here in about ten minutes," Dream said.

"What do we do while we wait?" I asked.

"We could cuddle" Dream joked.

"All three of us?" I questioned.

"No, just me and you," he smiled.

"Y'all are weird, I'm going to go call Karl," Sapnap said before walking away from us and going back to his room.

"Were you being serious?" I asked.

"Do you want me to be?" He tilted his head to the side.

"I mean you were the one snuggled up to me last night," I said, a small smile appearing on my face.

"And you didn't push me off idiot," he said back.

"Admit it, you have a crush on me," I joked.
A small blush appeared on Dreams face, he didn't say anything. He just stood there looking at me.

“Uh did you bring your chopsticks, the ones that we got matching?” He asked, breaking the silence.

“I did, I think I put them in my carry-on. Why?” I responded.

“Do you wanna use them tonight?” He asked, a small smile on his lips.

“Sure,” I said back. I left him standing there and went to my room to dig through my bags.
I found them in my carry-on just like I had thought. I closed the bag and walked out of my room carefully closing the door behind me. Dream was sitting on the couch holding onto a pillow with his phone in his hands.

“Are you staring at me George?” He asked.
“You are such an idiot,” I said back.

“So you were,” he laughed.

“I just got here, how could I have been staring,” I said.

“I honestly thought you were standing there for way longer,” he admitted.

I sat next to him on the couch and we sat in comfortable silence again. He was scrolling through Twitter looking at all of the things people were saying about his face reveal. I could tell by his face that he was a little upset by the reaction.

“You alright Dream?” I asked.

“Yeah, I’m okay,” he said back. I saw a muscle in his jaw twitch before he turned his head away from me.

“If you're okay, why aren't you looking at me?” I questioned.

“Because if I look at you I might cry and that’s stupid,” he said.

“Hey, you saw me cry last night,” I said, trying to lighten the mood.

He turned around, he had tears in his eyes but nothing was falling. His nose started to turn red but there was still nothing falling out of his eyes.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked after what felt like ten minutes of silence.

“Did I make the wrong decision?” He asked me.

“N-no no you didn’t Dream,” I said.

“Then why are people saying all of that crap?” He asked.

I put my hand on his shoulder and he leaned into the touch. “Because not everyone likes you but that’s okay,” I said.

“It normally doesn’t affect me,” Dream said as a single tear slid down his cheek.

“I know it doesn’t, but it is and it’s okay,” I told him in a calm voice.

Dream got a message on his phone saying the food got delivered so I got up and walked outside the gate to go get it.

“Sapnap the food is here!” Dream yelled across the house.

He walked into the living room and sat on the couch. I put the bag on the coffee table and started pulling things out of it. There were multiple boxes of sushi and smaller containers with lids that had soy sauce and other sauces in them.

“So what should I try first?” Dream asked us both.

"Start with that one," Sapnap pointed to a California roll and Dream attempted to pick it up with his chopsticks.

He picked it up and then dropped it on the table. I tried to hold down my laugh but failed.

"Hey don't laugh at me, I'm trying okay." Dream said, sounding annoyed.

I grabbed a piece for myself and ate it before Dream tried to eat another piece, this one ended up rolling on the floor.

“Do you need help?” I asked.

“No, I’m gonna get this,” he said back.

He actually picked the next piece up but only bit it in half, I shook my head. "You didn't eat it right," I told him.

"How are you supposed to eat it?" He asked, his voice sounding a little annoyed.

I picked a piece up with my chopsticks and without thinking I shoved the whole thing in his mouth. "Like that," I responded, making sure he didn't choke on it.

He swallowed, "that was really good," he said.

"See, I told you that you would like it," Sapnap laughed out.

Dream picked up another piece and ate the whole thing. I smiled because he did it right.
"I think you should try this one next," I said, pointing at my favorite.

Dream picked it up and put it in his mouth, "that's really good." He said, smiling.

Sapnap and I kept pointing to ones we thought he would like and he kept trying them, telling us which ones he liked and which ones he didn't. He would make this face when he didn't like it and I found it oddly funny.

Dream continued to sometimes drop them considering he still didn't really have the hang of holding the chopsticks correctly.

"Dream, you need to hold them right or the sushi will just fall apart," Sapnap told him as he showed him the correct way to hold them.

"Okay, I think I got it now. Thank you," he said as he picked another one up and put it in his mouth.
