《Just A Secret (Dreamnotfound)》12
Advertisement
I had a feeling it was going to be a little weird to see George after our fight and our make up. I drive to his house and text him that I'm here, I wait a little bit and I see him run out with a bag full of presents.
"Can I put these in your trunk?"
"Yeah, just be careful with my stuff, some stuff in there is very fragile."
He moves my huge bag and put his right next to mine and hops into the passenger seat. I look at him.
"What?"
"I see that you're wearing a Santa hat,"
"I am." He smiles and scrunches his nose.
"It suits you."
I start to drive away and we start to make our way towards Sapnap's house. It starts to snow a tiny bit and George is just scrolling though twitter.
"Hey George, are we all good and stuff?"
"Yeah, we're all good. Why?"
"I just don't want to make Christmas awkward."
"It'll only be awkward if you make it awkward." I roll my eyes and he giggles a bit. We pick up Sapnap and he hops into the car.
"Sup bitches, Sapdaddy's here." Sapnap says hopping into the car. We all laugh.
"Sapnap I swear to god if you say that in front of my family I will slap you so hard."
"Bet." I turn around and glare at him. "Fine, I won't."
We drive for a while and then we arrive at my house, my parents decorated it with some Christmas lights and have a light show that would be turned on at night. I grab my stuff from the truck and so does George. Sapnap waited for us at the front door, and once I got there I knocked on the door.
Drista answers the door.
"Clay!" She says super happy and hops into my arms.
"Hey Drista, I missed you."
"I missed you so much!"
"Okay, okay. I know I missed you too."
"Mom and dad are very eager to see you." She walks into the house and we all walk in after her and I see my parents on the couch in the living room.

"Clay?" My mom says looking surprised looking at me.
"Yep, it's me."
"Wow, you look so much older." She stands up and gives me a hug.
"And you brought Nick and George with you too." She smiles at them and moves on from me to give Sapnap and George a hug.
"I'm so glad you brought them with you."
"They wanted to come and see you after a few years."
"Wow, you've all grown up so much!"
"Okay we get it mom, we're so old." I say rolling my eyes.
I see my dad look at all of us with a big smile across his face.
"I remember when you all played football in our front yard, and remember when Clay would always come in the house with mud all over his clothes."
"He always dive in the safe zone." Sapnap says laughing.
"He always had the need to dive." George laughs. I set down my bag of presents and we start to hand out presents to everyone. I had one to Drista and she starts to shake the boxes I hand to her, trying to figure out what's inside.
Then once everyone handed out their presents we all opened them. My parents enjoyed the new kitchen utensils I gave them, Drista gets excited that I got her some Airpods and hoodies from many different places, Sapnap got super excited about the shoes I got him, then George's gift. A bracelet that was blue, he looked at me confused and I lifted my shirt's sleeve to show a matching bracelet. He smiled at me and handed me his present, I opened it to see a wooded VHS tape that looks like it would go inside a walkman tape player.
I look on the back and see a Spotify code. I take out my phone and scan the code and see it was a whole playlist of our favorite songs. I smile and mouth "Thank you so much" to him and he mouths "You're welcome" back at me. After ripping a bunch of wrapping paper later, we all talk about our lives and how we've been since high school graduation. Drista tells me how school is and how she's honor role for some classes.

"Hey do you guys want a photo together?" My dad asks.
"Sure, let's do it." Sapnap says standing up. We all stand together, Sapnap on the left, George in the middle, and I'm on the right. We position ourselves and George places his hand on my back, but it trails down to my low back. My heart starts to race.
"Smile!" My mom says as she takes the photo on my phone. I smile and so does Sapnap and George. I look at the photos and smile. The crew is back together again.
"Hey guys, do you want to walk around the neighborhood? Get some memories back?" I ask George and Sapnap.
"Yeah that sounds like fun." Sapnap says smiling.
"Let's do it." George agrees
"We'll be back." I say as I head towards the door. I put on my coat and shoes and head outside; a small breeze came as I opened the door and I noticed that it was lightly snowing. I go outside and start to walk down the driveway and on the sidewalk. Sapnap and George were right behind me.
"Guys look," Sapnap points to a little pathway. "Want to head to the park?"
"I haven't seen it in years, let's do it." George says rushing to my side. We walk down the path and to the park, it was dark except the snow had some light that was being reflected. We made it to the park and it looked smaller since the last time I was there.
"Wow, it hasn't changed one bit," Sapnap says stunned. We walk to the park and everything was the same, same structure, same build, everything was the same. I go on the playground and climb over the tubes and go down some slides. George just shakes his head while Sapnap and I try to run up the slides without sliding down them.
"Come here George, I'll help you up the slides,"
"No, I don't wanna slip."
"You're so boring." I say trying to convince him to run up the slides.
"See George," Sapnap runs up the slides and grabs my hand and I pull him up. "Dream helped me up, and I'm perfectly fine."
"I know I'm going to slip and fall,"
"Fine," I slide down and walk towards him. I get close to him and look at Sapnap, he looks at me and raises an eyebrow. He looks down at his phone.
"Sorry guys, I have to take this call," He walks away and holds the phone to his ear. He looks at me and winks.
"I'm guessing his mom called him." George says starring at him.
"I bet," I look back at him. I start to tickle him.
"Dream!" He says getting squeamish. "Stop,"
"Make me." I say laughing.
I continue to tickle him, then he grabs onto my arms while mine are on his torso. We both laugh and he looks at me. His look, it's so mesmerizing, it always is.
"What?" He says confused.
"You just being you," I say softly.
He moves his body closer to mine, my heart starts to race. I move my hand to his cheek and his smiles melts into a wanting look. He starts to close the distance of our faces and I move my face closer to his, we close the distance.
We kissed.
His lips were soft and he didn't pull away and neither did I. It was a sweet kiss, and the snow falling around us, it was just perfect. He pulls away and his cheeks were a bit rosy, and started to become more red. We heard Sapnap come back and we let go of each other.
"Hey, what were you guys doing without me?"
"Oh nothing, just talking about what we did here as kids." I lied. I smiled awkwardly, and so did George.
"Okay weirdos, I think we should head back it's starting to get cold out here."
"It is, let's head back." George says starting to walk back. We were behind Sapnap and George moves his hand right next to mine and we hold hands the whole way back.
