Soulmates

Constellations

I had walked out of my room without checking the time, phone and water bottle in hand. Sapnap had made it too cold for me to sleep. I put a hoodie on about ten minutes ago and that didn't help at all.

I made my way to the kitchen but then stopped when I saw a figure illuminated by the moonlight. I had guessed it was Dream based on the height. He was making food, I assumed ramen or mac and cheese since that was what filled most of the pantry.

He didn't have a shirt on either. When he said he had freckles he wasn't lying. His back was covered in them. His freckles almost looked like constellations, like the stars in the sky.
I didn't know how long it took before he realized I was standing there looking at him, "George?" He asked, his voice a lot quieter than normal.

"Yeah?" I questioned, I just couldn't stop looking at him. His eyes which I knew were green even though I couldn't see them.

"Why are you awake?" He asked.

"Sapnap made it too cold and now I can't sleep," I told him.

"Did you try turning it down?" He asked as he sat on the counter.

"I fear he would just turn it back, you know Sapnap likes it cold," I said as I leaned my head against the wall.

"You could sleep on the couch with Patches?" He questioned.

"I was honestly thinking about it," I laughed.

"Do you want to be alone?" He asked.

"Do you?" I repeated back, remembering what happened earlier on the couch.

"Not really, that's why I'm out here. It feels less alone," he said to me, a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Why? Because Patches is out here?" I asked.
"No uh," he paused almost like he was unsure if he should finish his sentence. "Your room and Sapnaps are really close to here and my room is pretty far away from yours," he looked down at the floor.

"Oh" I responded.

"Yeah, oh. It's stupid huh?" He laughed.

"I don't think it's stupid, I think it's normal," I said.

"Really?" He questioned.

I tapped the side of my water bottle, "Do you remember when I still lived in England and I would constantly ask you to facetime while I slept?"

"Yeah?" He sounded unsure.

"I made you do that because it made me feel less alone," he looked back up at me.

"Really?" He questioned.

"I honestly hated being alone, so I would call you and then I wouldn't be alone anymore," I started to walk to the fridge.

"I thought you said you liked being alone," Dream hopped off the counter and went back to his food that had been forgotten.

"I kinda lied, I didn't want you to have your ego inflated ya know" I laughed and then I pressed the water button on the fridge and my water bottle slowly started filling up. "You don't think I'm a liar now right?"

"I could never think that George," Dream's voice sounded so close. Almost too close.

"And I could never think that you crying over getting so much hate is stupid," I turned around and started to screw the cap back on my bottle.

Dreams face was very close to mine. I could almost count every single freckle under his eyes, the ones on his face were a lot more faint then the ones on his back. "No, that's pretty stupid George. I've been getting hate for years now."

"I know you have, but it's normal to cry," Dream leaned his back against the counter.
"Not for me,'" he looked back down at the floor.

"Hey now, I'm the one who's supposed to be bad at showing emotions," but for some reason when I was around him I felt like I could let my guard down. Let him see who I truly was.

"You still sleeping out here?" He asked, completely changing the subject.

"I was actually going to offer my floor off to you, but if you would rather sleep out here that's fine too," I smiled.

"Wow, your floor. Thanks George," he laughed.

"I'm not letting you sleep in my bed again. What if Sapnap came in and saw it?" I took a sip of my water.

I could tell Dream was thinking by the look on his face. I wondered what exactly he was thinking about. I just wanted to be around him constantly and I didn't know why. I don't know if I wanted to know why.

"I don't think Sapnap would care," he said in a low groggy voice. I could tell he was getting tired.

"He could get the wrong impression," I almost felt bad for saying that but I think he understood.

"I will gladly take your floor... or we could go watch a movie in my stream room," he said with a big smile on his face and what looked like attempted puppy eyes. Which seemed to be working, very well.

"But we both won't fit in that bed, it's a single." I told him.

"I could hold you," he said in his voice he used when he fake flirted with me on stream to make chat go crazy.

"Or you could eat your food and go to bed," I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep George," I honestly felt bad for him.
"Why not?" I asked.

"Because the second I'm alone I feel sad," he stopped himself from saying anything else.
"Well then I'll sit with you till you're done eating," I smiled at him again. I keep doing that and I don't understand why.

I sat on one of the stools at the island and waited for Dream to join me. I was honestly shocked we didn't wake Sapnap up.

Dream grabbed his food and sat next to me, he didn't say a word the entire time. We just sat in silence, I occasionally took sips of my water and stole glances at Dream so it wasn't completely weird.

He finished eating and put his bowl in the sink, one of us would do the dishes tomorrow. 
"Bed time?" I asked, breaking the comfortable silence.

"I'm sleeping on your floor, I'm going to grab my pillow and blanket. I'll see you in five," he left and I went into my room.

I sat on my bed and waited for him. He came in four minutes later with his pillow and blanket. He put the pillow down and then laid on my floor, covering himself with his blanket.

"Goodnight George, sleep well." Dream said before rolling on his side. I turned the lamp off and turned to face my wall.
