《second best // dnf》7. Settling In

Advertisement

George gawped at the inside of the house and began showering me with compliments about it and I smiled at how polite he was being. He unzipped his coat, revealing the clothes he was wearing.

A black Dream hoodie. George was wearing my hoodie and was stood in my house.

Dream's Pov:

"Okay there is four bedrooms, one is mine, one I turned into a recording room so you guys can have the two guests rooms," I explained, "One has an en-suite and-"

"Dibs!" Sapnap called, "I want that room."

I chuckled and lead him up to the larger guest room (with the en-suite). He's come to my house before though, so he settled in easily. Then, I took George to his room, still helping him with his bags. I dumped them on the bed and then I was just about to leave the room, when George said,

"Dream?"

"Yeah?" I turned to face him and he was fiddling with the sleeves on the hoodie.

"Thanks for letting us come and visit, I've been waiting for this day for what seems like forever," he replied with a slight smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

I grinned and mentioned, "I was planning on having that movie night you wanted tonight."

That was when Sapnap burst through the bedroom door and yelled, "Oh my God! Movie night!"

George's Pov:

I didn't want to be that guy but... I miss Ezra. I know it's only been like two days and it sounds stupid but... never mind. I pulled my phone from my pocket to see he'd texted me. I smiled.

Hey George

I miss you already XD

Please call me as soon as you can xx

Say hello to Dream for me, I'm a fan (;

I called him.

"Hey Ezra!"

"George heyyy I miss you."

I pouted, "I miss you too, more than anything."

Dream's Pov:

I lingered outside the door. I was just leaving when I heard George call Ezra. The way they spoke to each other tightened the knot in my stomach.

The way George talked to him made me wince. I miss you more than anything. It was then, that I made a mental pledge to myself that I will make the next two weeks better than the eight stupid months he's been with stupid Ezra.

I was about to leave when I heard him say,

"I have to go now, yes i'll tell Dream! Okay, love you bye."

George poked his head out of the door and was startled by me standing right there. He raised his eyebrows, "How long have you been standing there?"

I swallowed, "I -um I just came."

"Okay," he shrugged and we headed downstairs where we found Sapnap rummaging through my kitchen cupboards.

I fake-cleared my throat and Sapnap's head snapped round.

"I- uh um I was just," he faltered.

I rolled my eyes and told them that we can go shopping for more food since Sapnap was a fussy eater.

We bundled outside and began walking to the grocery store. It was quite cold; I had a bobble hat, a scarf and a thick jacket on. Glancing at George, I sighed. He was shivering and had his arms wrapped around his torso to keep himself warm. So, I shrugged of my coat and thrust it into his arms. Obviously, like the polite guy that he is, George didn't accept it.

"Come on George you're literally shivering just take that coat, I'm not even that cold!"

Technically I wasn't lying. Yes I was cold without my jacket on but it wasn't unbearable. I helped him put on the coat and his hands got lost in the extra long sleeves. We both burst out laughing and Sapnap eyed us suspiciously.

"Dream! My hands are gone! I'm not wearing this. No! I look like an idiot!"

"Stop complaining! Just wear the coat!"

George let out an exaggerated sigh and agreed to wear the coat. We soon reached the store and he immediately gave it back to me and started babbling on about looking scruffy in a really big jacket.

I grabbed crisps and cookies and other snacks like that from the shelves and threw them into the trolley. Sapnap had armfuls off fruit gummies which I thought was weird, but I allowed him to put it in with the rest of the items we had.

I went over to George and asked, "Anything you want?"

He turned to face me and replied, "Oh no, I don't want anything."

"You know," I say, "I went out yesterday and bought a few bags of chocolate eclairs."

His eyes met mine and they lit up. I couldn't help myself from smiling at the funny look on his face.

"Wait are you serious?"

"Yes!" I laughed, "Why?"

"I don't remember telling you that I like them. I thought I only told Ezra. Did he tell you?"

I tried very hard not to roll my eyes at his comment and instead I snapped, "No, actually believe it or not I'm a good enough friend to know your favourite food."

George looked down at the floor, biting his nails.

I pierced my lips together and squeezed my eyes shut for a second.

"Sorry if I snapped, I didn't mean to..." I apologised, embarrassed by my behaviour.

He smiled half-heartily and assured my that it was fine and that he was a bit tired too. George wandered off to find Sapnap so we could pay and go home.

We were just about to check out when we walked through the confectionery isle again so I discreetly pulled down a bag of chocolate eclairs and dumped it in. I wanted to give them to George to say I'm sorry.

As soon as we left the store, I dug them out of a bag and handed the packet to him.

"Sorry," I mumbled.

"Thank you Dream," he replied with a smile, "Though you don't have anything to apologise for."

I grinned as he accepted the chocolate and he hugged me. Just a quick, little one. It was a 'thanks-for-buying-me-food-hug'. Anyways, who cares George hugged me.
