3rd Person P.O.V.

George hummed to himself, typing away at his keyboard. He hit the enter key, leaning back in his chair with a sigh. He was just about done for the day, too tired to keep working.

George checked his phone, looking for the time. Before he got to that, however, his eye was drawn to a notification.

Discord
Dream
what's your favorite flower??
it's for a challenge
2 hrs ago

George tilted his head, swiping the notification open. He scanned through the message again, shrugging to himself.

George: Minecraft flower or real life??

He exited discord, finally getting to checking the time. It was 2:48 am... yikes. He stood up, stretching and yawning before walking a few feet over to his bed, letting his body collapse against the soft mattress.

And then his phone buzzed.

Dream: either is fine lol

George: Umm, I like lilies I guess?

Dream: alr thank you :)

George squinted at his screen, sighing. He was too tired to even think. Turning off his screen, George rolled over, pulling a blanket over himself before falling asleep.

A few days had passed since Dream's odd question, and it still hadn't come up in any streams or challenges. Honestly, George had almost completely forgotten about the question, moving on with his life as usual.

He was streaming with Quackity, laughing with the other boy about some dumb joke one of them had made. His phone buzzed, and George spared a glance at it, raising his eyebrows.

Discord
Dream
check ur door
just now

George tried not to show any different emotions on stream, waiting for Quackity to quiet down.

"Quackity!" He exclaimed, laughing.

"What!?"

"I'll be right back."

"Wha- NOOOOO GOGY DON'T LEAVE MEEEEE!" He screeched.

"I'll be right back!!" George repeated, chuckling. He muted himself, turning off his camera before getting up and going to his door.

He stretched as he walked, grabbing the doorknob casually. The door swung open, and there stood... a man?

"Hi, George." The man smiled. George's jaw dropped, eyes widening.

"Wha- I-" He shook his head. "Dream?"

"Who else would it be?"

"I- WHAT?!" George exclaimed, shaking his head. "No. No way. What?" Dream just laughed, and sure enough, it was his signature wheeze. "Oh my god..."

"Nice to finally m- ah!" Dream gasped, finding George's arms wrapped around him. Dream smiled, hugging the brunette back. "Nice to finally meet in person."

"Why- why are you here?" George wondered, pulling back. Dream shrugged, grinning.

"I wanted to see you!" He answered, shrugging. His eyes lit up in realization. "Oh! Wait, I have something for you!" George furrowed his eyebrows, tilting his head.

"You didn't have to get me anyth-"

"Shut up, I literally showed up at your house uninvited," he pointed out. "I hope they're not ruined. It was a long flight." Dream turned around, picking something up from behind his suitcase.

"Dream, what-?"

"Here!" Dream spun around, hands outstretched, holding a bouquet. "Sorry they're kinda crumpled..."

"Dream..." George stared at the bouquet. It was absolutely beautiful, and Dream had such a genuine grin on his face. "Lilies..."

"You said they were your favorite," he stated matter-of-factly.

"Yeah," George breathed. "Ah- yeah, no, this is great. Thank you." George accepted the bouquet, smiling. "But why did you take them on the plane with you? You know we have flower shops in England, right?"

"I..." Dream sighed, shaking his head. "I didn't think of that..." George laughed, grinning.

"Idiot." He took a step back. "Here, come in. I was just..." George paused, frowning. "Shit. Hold on, I gotta leave the stream." Dream wheezed as George went back to his stream, unmuting to apologize and say goodbye to Quackity and his stream. He logged off, sighing.

"Done?" Dream asked, eyebrows raised in amusement.

"Shut up. You didn't give me any warning that this was happening, so you don't get to say anything."

"Fair, fair." Dream raised his hands in surrender, smiling.

"So, um..." George paused. "You're here?"

"I am," Dream agreed. "With you."

"Right." George looked at the bouquet of lilies in his hand, smiling faintly. "These should go in water."

"Oh, yeah, absolutely." Dream nodded fervently.

"Come help me get a vase, then." Dream followed George into the kitchen, watching as he reached up on his tippy toes, grabbing a vase. "Fill this with water." George handed Dream the vase, pointing at the sink.

Dream set the vase of water on the counter, watching as George finished unwrapping the flowers, grabbing them by the stems and letting them fall into the vase.

"There." George took a step back, admiring their handiwork. "Very nice."

"They look good," Dream agreed. "I really hoped you would like them. I was all worried about what to get you..." George turned, tilting his head and frowning.

"Why?"

"Oh... well..." Dream shrugged, glancing to the side. "I dunno... I guess I wanted to impress you?" George raised his eyebrows, smirking.

"Is that so?"

"George... don't make me say it..." Dream whined, pouting.

"Say what?" George asked innocently.

"I- ugh." Dream pinched the bridge of his nose. "Would you like to go out with me?"

"...You sound like a high schooler trying to ask out his crush," George giggled. "But yes. I'll go out with you." Dream grinned, a bright, happy smile that had George laughing.

"Yes!" The blond exclaimed.

"Yeah?" George asked, matching Dream's volume. The taller man stepped closer, hesitantly placing his hands on George's waist.

"I'm so glad I came here," he murmured, gaze flickering to George's lips.

"I'm glad you came too," George whispered, shuffling in slightly to minimize the gap between them.

"This might be too soon... but can I kiss you?" Dream asked, biting his lip nervously. George smiled, nodding. They both leaned in, George's arms immediately going to wrap around Dream's neck. Their bodies pressed flush against each other, Dream and George held themselves in a long-awaited kiss.

"George..." Dream murmured, slightly out of breath after pulling away. They stared at each other with wonder in their eyes, tiny smiles tugging at their lips.

"Yeah, Dream?"

"I'm so glad I'm here. With you."

George smiled, nodding. "Yeah. Me too."
