"Hi, chat!"

| twitchuser: ang my beloved
| twitchuser: you disappeared like
Dream did 😐

"I know, I know," Angelica chuckled. "I disappeared for a few. But now I am back! You're welcome."

Angelica was sitting on Dream's lap. It wasn't her option, but Dream was clingier than usual. It's been almost two weeks since they started dating, and the more comfortable they got with each other, the more they started to show way too much affection. They usually have their usual late night car rides or where they simply go outside to lay down in the grass and see the sky, just the simple ones from before, and even started new ones like, baking at 4 am.

Dream loved living with Angelica. She liked living with him. It was good before their huge fight, but now, they were thankful that they knew how the other lived because, to be honest, they would annoy each other by stupid crap they would pull.

| twitchuser: are we on our
hating Dream arc? 😩
| Quackity ✅: Ang my beloved 🤲🏼❤️

"Hi, Quackity," Angelica smiled, feeling Dream's breath in the back of her neck, alerting her that he was sleeping since he would've already been bothering her. "Quackity, we need to play that one game you've been wanting to play."

| Quackity ✅: Really? 🥺
| twitchuser: HI QUACKITY
| twitchuser: hi quackity :)

"Yes, really," Angelica chuckled. "Just tell me when so I can clear my schedule... This whole entire week we have time off so during this week."

| twitchuser: Quackity and Ang? 😩
| twitchuser donated $25: Ang
how do you deal with your mental health?

"I used to not know how to deal with it despite having gone to therapy," Angelica explained, rubbing her thumb against one of her tattoos to get rid of the ink Dream had put on her. "I was always... In bed when things got worse and I believed no one was there for me or with me for support. But, as days went by, months, I mean, I met a good person who has supported me through it all. If I didn't get out of bed, they'd read me a book or something I'd like. They wouldn't pressure me or anything. If you are with a person, or people, and they are there and you start changing, just remember that the person didn't completely change you. You started changing for yourself with their support. You get what I mean?"

| twitchuser: Ang is in her
inspired arc 😔
| twitchuser: marry me ❤️
| twitchuser: TALK ABOUT
MENTAL HEALTH BEING
ROMANTICIZED

"Mental health shouldn't even be romanticized in the first place," Angelica scoffed. "I get you want a character dealing with hardships about mental health and such, but it's not going to be magically healed when they meet a person they start having a relationship with. It's going to be there. One thing people need to remember is that depression, or being depressed, isn't cool and isn't going away in a snap. Yes, you may feel happy some days, but depression is still there. Remember that depression can impact someone's life. Yes, a depressed person can become successful, but just because they have money doesn't mean they still don't have their days. They do. I think in general, how media depicts mental health is not even right majority of the time."

| twitchuser: question, are u and
dream friends now?

"Am I friends with Dream?" Angelica hummed and bit back the smile threatening to stretch on her lips before shaking her head. "Nope. We aren't friends. Wait... Hold on. George is calling me."

Angelica answered her phone and put the speaker so everyone will be able to hear.

"Ang, when are you going to stream with me?" George asked in a loud tone, a scoff later escaping his lips. "I told you we needed to stream today, like, last week."

"Today?" Angelica questioned, eyeing the date. "George, I don't know if you realized but it's later on. It's 3 am."

George stayed quiet. "Pretend like I didn't call you for that... Anyway, what are you doing?"

"Just chilling with chat," Angelica answered. "I'm going to play a bit of Minecraft, though. I'm bored. I need to sort my schedule because I have to stream with you, I have a stream that Karl planned, Corpse invited me to his lobby, Rae invited me to play something with her but she hasn't told me, and then I promised Quackity so long ago that I was going to play with him."

"Wow, you're so popular," George said. "Is that the reason why you haven't paid attention to me?"

"George, you're so clingy," Angelica teased, laughter escaping her lips, feeling Dream's arms tighten around her torso. "I fucking synched my sleeping schedule with yours so I could stay up with you."

"Well, I didn't tell you to do so."

"Yes, you did!" Angelica argued back. "You begged me to stay up with you and we went to sleep at the same time, woke up at the same time, and again, and again."

George stayed silent again before giggling under his breath, "That's true, but, but that was because I missed you."

"Everyone clip that," Angelica quickly let out. "Everyone clip it!"

| twitchuser: GOT IT
| twitchuser: GEORGE 😭😭
| twitchuser: that was cute

"Don't clip it."

"George, it's my chat. They're going to listen to me... Wait, hold on. George entertain my chat with your British accent."

Angelica had already muted before she could answer to George's, "What? What should I say?" She made sure to make fun of him and hear what he would come up with, snickering when she heard his awkward voice.

Turning around, Angelica came face to face with Dream who had just woken up.  He tiredly rubbed his eyes and smiled up at her. He glanced at his phone and looked at her. "So you made me get out of out bed to sit here just so you could stream comfortably?"

"Yes," Angelica smiled innocently.

"You could've told me instead of just dragging me," Dream chuckled, kissing her forehead before sighing. "Alright, continue arguing with George. Wake me up when we're going to bed."

"Okay," Angelica nodded, turning around so he could squeeze her against his chest. He rested his forehead against the back of her neck and automatically fell asleep. Angelica snorted and put on her headphones, heading George.

"Yeah, Angelica is very clingy. She's a very bad influence, you guys."

"What the-?" Angelica unmuted. "You liar! Stop feeding my chat with lies."

"I'm only saying the truth and just truth."

"Mhmm," Angelica rolled her eyes at her friend's words. "Go eat shit."

"Angelica!"

"Oh, shut up."
