Arin Stuttering For Nearly 10 Seconds After Dan Calls Him A Bottom

Contrary to popular belief, it's warm in Antarctica. At least that's what Dream would posit.

Of course, any sane person might call him out on his bluff and attribute the warmth to this more-than-decent shelter Jimmy's got them holed up in.

Or perhaps the hot cocoa he had after dinner has worked wonders to keep him toasty.

Or maybe whatever illness he's plagued with this time has him running hot.

Or it's–

"Uuuurrnnnghhh. Dreeeeaaam."

Dream looks away from his phone to glance at the person laying beside him in bed, or rather, this rickety cot that isn't nearly big enough for him and his long limbs, let alone two people. Not that he's complaining. "Georgieeee," he calls back to the figure beside him. "You bored?"

"No." George keeps his eyes trained on the tinny ceiling above their heads, thinking for a second, before pushing his bottom lip into a pout. "Kind of." Then he rolls on his side and sighs dramatically. "You're being really inconsiderate right now, Dream."

"Wait, why?" Dream laughs a bit, and it's only because he finds George's theatrics endearing (and admittedly, cute). He still genuinely cares about George's feelings, however, so his voice naturally softens when he asks, "What'd I do?"

George throws him a hard look, one that reads a lot meaner than the transgression he's about to point out: "I'm literally laying beside you in bed, and you're not even kissing me."

Heat blooms across Dream's entire face. "I– whuh– y-you're–" At his flustered stuttering, George's forced grimace easily slips into a satisfied grin. The fog of Dream's mind eventually clears and he spits, "I'm sick, George."

"So?"

"So what? You want me to kiss you and get you sick?"

"Maybe." Despite the casual response, Dream can tell how strongly George feels based on the speed of his reply. It makes Dream want to immediately give in, to fulfill whatever dumb desires George might have, though he pauses to give the idea more thought.

"Well, I'm not doing that," he finally concludes.

"Why not?" George bites back.

"Because I don't want to get you sick!"

George's eyes twinkle, clearly affected by the way Dream cares for him, the way Dream's voice softens again in genuine concern. But George masks it with another flourished sigh. "You're just full of excuses, aren’t you?"

Dream scoffs and rolls his eyes, though underneath his hard demeanor is a bundle of excitable energy, still shaken by how forward George is being. "This is an impossible situation. I would kiss you now, but then you'd get mad at me later for getting you sick."

It's the closest Dream has gotten to admitting that he actually wants to kiss George—really, truly does—and it makes George melt a bit, makes him shrink into the nook of his own arm when he looks up into Dream's eyes. "No," he denies, softly now.

The cogs in Dream's brain spin a tad slower at the sudden change in George's behavior. Dream looks over George's figure for a beat longer before he lowers his phone and throws his arm under his head, angling himself so that he can keep George in his vision. "I don't even think we should be laying this close right now," he says, defenses weakening.

"Right, but we have been, so there's no use in you not kissing me if I'm probably already sick," George murmurs.

Dream snickers. "Your logic is soundproof." His face scrunches up. "Er... I mean, foolproof."

George laughs, loud in the current quiet of the room. "Soundproof," he mocks, voice as small and warm as he is physically.

Dream chuckles with him before carefully resting a warm hand above George's hip. Crazy, he thinks, that I can just do that now. His fingers play with the hem of George's hoodie, the oversized Dream merch that Dream is as addicted to seeing George wear nearly as much as George is addicted to wearing it. "You wish this place was soundproof," Dream jokes after the long stretch of silence.

George looks so content in this moment that he nearly forgets to respond. "...What's that supposed to be mean?"

"Oh, suddenly you have no idea?"

"No...?" George says, playing dumb. It might seem legitimate enough if his mouth weren't drawn in a cheeky grin.

They lay there for a while, comfortably still and staring at each other, until George's arm snakes forward and over Dream's side. Dream thinks it's a nice start to a night-long cuddling session, but then he's jolted by George's hand smacking and grasping his asscheek.

Blushing wildly, Dream elbows his arm away. "What are you–! Come here." As quickly as he can recover, Dream pounces on George, rolling the man onto his back and holding him close. They both dissolve into hiccupy laughter as Dream attacks his neck with loud, sloppy smooches.

"Eugh, stop!" George giggles. He barely tries to bat Dream away, face twisted in his widest smile all day. Dream is relentless in burrowing his face in the narrowing space of George's neck. "Stop, you're tickling me!" George happily shrieks. His shoulders are by his ears by the time he can spit out, "You're gonna get me sick!"

Laughing, Dream pulls away. "You're such an idiot," he says, before George reaches up to hold his face between his hands, kiss the tip of his nose, then pull him in for a direct kiss on the mouth.

They both have stars in their eyes when they break away. "I don't care," George says, breathless.

And they kiss again, and again, and again, in all the quiet spaces of this corner of the world and throughout the long travels home, up until George inevitably finds himself feeling a bit under the weather—and Dream still kisses him then, too, because he doesn't care either, and also because he cares so, so much.

He kisses George as much as he can, wherever and whenever. Each time, Dream feels incredibly warm, swimming in that same special energy he felt in the heart of Antarctica.

All thanks to George, the man who always and forever kisses him back.

“Oh, my god, you look beautiful.”

“It’s Cher.”

can I get camping dnf ? <3

this blog will remain my greatest legacy after my descent into madness

camping dnf

— need you here to stay by quartzfia (teen | comp. | 5k)

the feral boys go on a camping trip, and when George and Dream are forced to share a tent, they're also forced to confront their growing feelings for one another.

— insufferable (except when you're not) by honkdaddyy (expl. | comp. | 5k)

Sapnap invites Dream to go camping. What Dream doesn't know is that his self-proclaimed enemy is tagging along as well.

— summer smokes, bright heavens by FraustiButBad (expl. | comp. | 15k)

Dream hates how Sapnap and Punz, his best friends and the most annoying (he doesn’t mean that) couple on this entire planet, have to drag him onto a camping trip.

— Kainokai by androm__eda (expl. | comp. | 15k)

Clay convinces George to go camping with him, Karl, Nick, and Alex, but it's not his fault all of the tents look the same, right? Plus, it's only for a couple of nights.

— Hold Me Close (I Don't Bite) by bluetaffyy (teen | comp. | 7k)

5 times Dream realizes he loves George, plus the one time George realizes it back :)

I'm sad because now that the new George-in-Florida Era has begun, my brain no longer enjoys older meet-up fics. I begin to read them and when I come to incorrect details I am thrown out of the story. Do you perhaps have recommendations for post-reveal meet-up fics that more closely follow the actual circumstances? I did love <i>nebula</i> by purestcinnamonroll

twitchcon fics here, and here are a few more biblically accurate meetup fics :)

diving in the deep end by sweetuhcreature

Dream shakes his head when he talks, shrugs his shoulders and raises his brows. He’s very expressive, in a silly, awkward sort of way, like he’s never been a person before, even in private. George loves it, and he loves it more than he thought he would that the entire world gets to experience this with him — their entire world...

They don’t get everything though, and George loves that more. Dream opens his mouth, then closes it, and George feels assured that nobody else will ever get a moment like this with him.

It's George's first night in Florida. He and Dream take a drive.

think it's meant to be (more than anything i can think of) by snakeinaboyband

“Isn’t that crazy?” George asks, “I just, like, left.”

“And now you’re here,” Dream smoothes fingers over the hand resting against his skin, “With me.”

“You are literally the one thing I’d give everything up for,” George says a bit too honestly at first, then tacks on for good measure, “Isn’t that dumb? You’re literally an idiot.”

are you with me? by thisisamistake

“If you get nervous, if you feel yourself panic if you feel anything that isn’t happy and safe and comfortable. You look at me, okay? I’ll be right there.”

Distantly they hear one of the Twitch staff sharply call George’s name.

All at once, Dream hears the echoes of the screaming crowd again.

He feels the panic rise in his throat again but George’s palms drop to grab his hands.

“Okay. Okay, I’ll look at you, I promise.”

“You’ve got this Dream, I believe in you.” George leans forward once more and presses a soft kiss to the corner of Dream’s mouth.

Dream's first public appearance after face revealing and it's not what he expected.

Things Learned in Little Time by armsofasunflwer

“I wanted to kiss you,” George says quietly, and it feels as if stars start to glimmer in his eyes.

Dream swallows thickly. “Wanted to?”

“When I first got here, filming the vlog. When I went to kiss you, it’s not because I thought it’d be funny. It’s because I actually really wanted to. At first I thought it was just the heat of the moment and a rush of emotions, but it hasn't calmed down since then.”

“What about now?”

“Well.” George smiles as he looks away for a millisecond. “I still really want to kiss you.”

Since George moved to Florida, things have finally started to feel normal, the way they were always supposed to. Except one thing. When he 'jokingly' tried to kiss Dream during the vlog.

He hears the rustle of fabric, of his friend getting out of bed. “George?” He asks, his tone ten times more urgent than before. “What do you need?” “‘M sick,” he mumbles, not even making an attempt to keep his eyes open anymore. “R’lly sick. Help me.”

“Shut up,” George says, again, as Dream scrolls. “You have a spreadsheet,” Dream says, redundantly. His eyes catch on the titles that fill the cells, the columns, the rows, the links.

Dream meets a sweet guy in the Twitchcon party who, funnily enough, is not very into social media and has no idea who he is.

On the sidelines, George goes fucking insane.

— Wheel of Fate Challenge - DNF Favorites and First Times

In this collection, we challenged ourselves to write tropes that we've never tried before or maybe just don't have a lot of experience with. We spun two wheels this time: one with these new-to-us tropes and another with some of our favorite tropes to write. Our fics had to include both of the tropes the Wheels of Fate chose for us. We hope you enjoy these stories. Leave a kudos and comment if you did!

“Can we just please know what flowers I can avoid so we can just move on?!” George cried, standing up and sticking his hands on his hips. Dream, who was in the middle of giving Sapnap a violent noogie, stopped instantly. Both of them looked at George, then each other, before peeling apart. “Oh, yeah. Totally.” Dream said. He snatched his phone out of Sapnap’s hand and nudged him away. “Okay, uh…Green flowers. Green flowers are the big red flag.”
