After his talks with both Dream and George, he knew that the two were gonna be weird with eachother no matter what, until they confessed to eachother. Sapnap didn't wanna be stuck in the middle of it all, and be the one to try and cover for them when things got awkward.

So, one late night, he got Karl and Quackity into a call and told them everything from start to finish. He didn't tell them every specific detail and specific, but did explain the situation the two boys were in. He knew that if he didn't do that, they would be left in the middle of some awkward situations without explanation.

Quackity and Karl had sworn to secrecy, and agreed to never tell one about the others feelings, no matter how tempting it was. And that leads us to where we are now.

"Um Sap?" said Dream clearing his throat "Actually, can you drive back?"

The brunette was shocked, he was never allowed to drive the blondes car, never.

He agreed and the two switched seats, the car still deathly silent. Dream pulled his earphones from his pocket and plugged them in, leaning against the window in the back. He needed some time to think.

Fairly certain that Dream couldn't hear them, Sapnap began to whisper to Quackity

"Bro what the actual fuck were you thinking??" he whispered to the boy on his right
"I'm sorry i don't know!! I'm so used to joking about it with you guys that i just, yeh"
"You could have played it off as a joke" chimed in Karl
"I just froze, by the time i properly thought about it, i think i was quiet for too long to play it off as a joke"

The two boys nodded in agreement. Sapnap knew he should be mad at Quackity, and continued to be so, but he couldn't help internally thank the boy. At least with the confidence that George likes him back, Dream might actually do something now.

__________ Dream pov _________

The blonde still sat in the back, staring out the window, music blasting through his ears. He wasn't sure why he was reacting like this, he was absolutely ecstatic at the thought of George feeling the same way as him.

A slight smirk creeped across his face as he thought about the brunettes arrival tomorrow, all his nerves having been replaced with excitement in a matter of minutes.

He had been planning to talk to George about his feelings, but after overhearing Sapnap and George's conversation, he thought he should wait. Just in case the thing that George needed to be honest about was negative. Now he knew what it was, and there was no stopping him.

His mind was racing with ways to tell George, knowing that no matter what he did, the response would be the one he wanted. It was because of this, that he knew he didn't have to act straight away.

He could tease him, mess with him, flirt with him - this time, knowing  for certain how it would make him feel.

His mind was working in absolutely evil ways, but he couldn't resist the temptation of it.

I mean, he had teased the brunette before, but could only imagine how he reacted on the other side of the phone. Now he didn't have to imagine it. He could see it in real life.

The four boys had made it home by now, all getting out the car in near silence as they walked in. Their arrival hadn't gone how they though it would at all, and now things were a little tense.

Quackity was staying painfully silent in case of a repeat of previous events, Sapnap and Karl awkwardly walked next to eachother whilst Dream paced ahead with his earphones in. It was all weird.

Dream immediately went into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water, ripping out his earphones as he did so. He was still acting in a mood and he really didn't know why - he was unbelievably happy.

"Alex, just go apologise to him" whispered Karl, gesturing to the blonde in the kitchen

Quackity glanced at Sapnap for approval before receiving a nod in response. Here goes nothing.

"Um hey Dream, i just wanted to um, just apologise for earlier. I didn't mean to tell you i just- it just slipped out. Sorry"
"What?" Dream asked as he slowly turned towards the boy
"I know saying sorry can't do much now, but i just don't want things to be awkward"

Dream didn't know what to do. His friend seemed so sincere, so apologetic, so scared. Dream didn't know why. He hadn't done anything bad, if anything Dream was thankful for what he did. He wanted to bounce around and hug the boy, but he had seemed moody for so long, he couldn't.

"Alex Alex Alex, it's all good" His light chuckle caught the three boys by surprise "I just needed a moment to process it"
"So, you're not mad?" Quackity was confused... to say the least.
"Mad?! How could i be mad???? George likes me"

Dream took a minute. Saying those words out loud felt, it felt amazing.

He walked over to a rather shocked looking Sapnap and pulled him into an unexpected bear hug-

"George likes me Sap" he whispered, voice slightly cracking
"Yes you nimrod, Gogy likes you" the brunette scoffed before returning the hug.

The two stayed for a moment, before remembering that Karl and Quackity were actually in the room. They turned around to them, laughing slightly.

They all agreed to not make this meet up about George and Dream, and got on with the plan they made previously.

The two received a house tour, though no one really paid attention to the rooms they were in, they mainly just walked around, joking with each other.

"Okay, sleeping arrangements" announced Sapnap, rubbing his hands together
"Quackity, you're down there" he continued, aggressively pointing to a small room at the end of the corridor "Karl your with me and George is wi-"

He stopped talking. They had planned this weeks in advance, so he didn't think. The other two were thinking the same thing, and were now all looking at Dream.

"Hey i can share with Dream and George can have that room" offered Quackity
"What?! Why are you all freaking out" Chuckled Dream, "Me and George like each other and he doesn't even know it. It's fine"

Sapnap was sceptical, "are you sure?"
"Sap, we don't hate each other, it will all be fine"

I mean yeh, that was the reason. Totally not the fact that if George and Dream shared a room Dream would get more time alone with the brunette. Nope. And definitely not because they could also possibly maybe cuddle. Not at all. That was totally not the reason.

"Alrighty, if you say so" shrugged Karl, shuffling past Sapnap into the room

"Alex, you want help unpacking?" offered Dream, now that Karl and Sapnap had left together

"Oh yeh sure, why not" nodded Quackity

The two walked into the room, only big enough for a single bed and a wardrobe, and began to unpack. Dream lay on the bed for most of the time, not actually helping whatsoever.

"When you want to stream, you will just have to use my set up" smiled Dream
"Sounds good, when are we gonna tell people we are together?" asked Quackity
"Probably when George gets here"

George gets here. George really was coming, and in less than 24 hours. The two were going to be together.

Dream smirked to himself. This was going to be good.
