Dream's pov

I sat in the waiting area nervously, my leg bouncing as I fidgeted with my phone in my hoodie pocket. They would be here any minute now. What if they don't like me in person? What if they get bored and wanna leave early? What if they aren't comfortable in my home? What if they're allergic to Patches?

I need to stop worrying about every single thing. I spent the whole week cleaning my house over and over again. I got way too much food, drinks, and snacks for us. I just want them to be comfortable and feel at home. I really hope they like my house. What if they don't like the food I got? Ugh, I need to calm down, it'll be okay, I'm sure it'll be okay...

"Dream?" Someone said causing me to look up since I never heard anyone call my name while I was in public. It was Sapnap, his backpack on and a suitcase next to him. I couldn't help but smile when I saw him.

"Hey, Sapnap." I said as I stood, grunting as he hugged me tightly. I hugged him back, both of us grinning like idiots.

"The flight got here early." He said and I nodded, looking at the time. George should be here soon.

"I was kinda worried you wouldn't show up." I admitted as we sat.

"Dream, I wouldn't leave you hanging like that." Sapnap assured with a knowing smile. "Gogy will be here soon."

"You should call him that when he gets here." I laughed.

"I will, we have lots of time to call each other any name we want. Do you want anything to drink? That smoothly place looks kinda good." Sapnap said, gesturing to the small shop nearby.

"Yeah, can I get a strawberry banana smoothie?" I asked him as he stood.

"Hell yeah, I'll be right back." He said, going over to the place. I watched him go, my leg anxiously bouncing again as I looked around, trying to spot any sign of George. I glanced at my phone every three seconds, seeing that his flight had landed.

He'll be here soon... George will be here really soon, hopefully. I'll finally get to see him...

"Dream." George said, standing in front of me with a huge grin. I instantly stood, my heart racing as I hugged him tightly. George didn't seem surprised, hugging me back happily. I pressing my face against his neck, he smelled like gummy bears and his shampoo.

"You didn't hug me like that." Sapnap said behind us causing me to pull away from George too soon to my liking.

"Sapnap!" George said in a mock surprised voice and rolled his eyes. Sapnap handed me my smoothie and punched George's arm. "Ouch."

"Let's get going, I've been up since 4 and I could really use a nap." Sapnap said, ruffling my hair. I rolled my eyes and nodded in agreement, blushing slightly when I realized that I had hugged George for a pretty long time. They gathered their things and we went to my car. I sipped my drink slowly, feeling like all of this was a dream.

The car ride was filled with all of us joke bickering about what song to play and me pointing things out to them.

"This is your room and this is your room." I said, showing George and Sapnap where they would be staying.

"You set it up just for us, how cute. I thought we would all share a bed though." Sapnap joked.

"I mean, I don't think any of the beds here are big enough for that." I laughed.

"I wanna see your room." Sapnap whined and I rolled my eyes, leading them to my room.

"Here it is, it's nothing special." I shrugged, as they walked in. George looked around curiously.

"Oh my god, Dream, you sleep with a stuffed animal?" Sapnap teased as he held the stuffed bear up. I completely forgot I left it on my bed until now. My cheeks burning. "Little Dreamie cuddles his stuffed bear, so cute." He teased.

"Sapnap, don't tease him about it, it's fine." George said, grabbing the bear from Sapnap and setting it back down where it should be. My cheeks burning in embarrassment. George jabbed Sapnap's side and nudged him.

"I'm just joking, Dream." Sapnap assured with a smile. "I like your room, it's cool. Your set up is awesome."

"Thanks... I can show you the rest of the house." I said, gesturing for them to follow me. I showed them the rest of the house, happy that they liked the place. I did go out and get some new decorations since it felt a little too empty when I was cleaning basically 24/7 this week.

"We should eat something. I'm starving." Sapnap said after the tour.

"Oh yeah, we could order some food or I can make you guys something." I said as I turned to them.

"You make us something!" Sapnap cheered.

"I'm good with anything." George smiled.

"Yeah, I can make you something... spaghetti?" I offered and both agreed as we made our way to the kitchen. Sapnap basically made all the food as I told him what to do while George watched. I snickered as Sapnap tried to jab me.

"Dream, you muffin head." Sapnap whined as I dodged him again.

"I'm a pvp god." I laughed, hopping around the kitchen as Sapnap tried to bop me with a wooden spoon.

"Sapnap, the noodles are overflowing!" George gasped as he rushed over to turn the heat down, Sapnap running back over. I followed close behind, all of us bursting into laughter. "You two are such children."

"No we're not." I pouted and George rolled his eyes. "You're just messing around."

"Just don't burn the food." He chuckled, ruffling my hair. I tilted my head, nuzzling against his palm happily. I could see Sapnap watch us from the corner of my eye but I was too busy as enjoying George's attention to care.

"Dream is like a puppy." Sapnap said, going over and ruffling my hair too. I felt myself blushing as I looked away from George.

"Whatever, Snapmap." I said causing him to snort.

"If you call me that again we're gonna have a problem, Dreamie." He warned, George giggling as he rolled his eyes.

"Hurry up and make the food, I'm hungry." George complained, Sapnap sticking his tongue out before going back to making food. I sat next to George and watched Sapnap cook for a bit before my eyes wandered back to George who was already smiling at me.

"What?" I asked. "Do I have something on my face?"

"No... I'm just... happy that we're all together." He said, lightly nudging me. I smiled and nodded as well, I was happy that we could see each other too.

"Hey, love birds, foods done." Sapnap said.

"Finally." George said and got up, getting me a bowl of food. We all sat at the table and ate.
~~~~~

"I'm gonna go nap." George mumbled, he was struggling to stay awake due to jet lag.

"Yeah, I think I'll have a nap too." Sapnap nodded, yawning into his sleeve.

"Wake us up in like an hour." George told me before they went to their rooms to nap. I watched them go and sighed softly. I'll clean up while they sleep.

Everything was going really well. Sapnap and George made this place feel like home... the house doesn't feel as empty as it used to. I'm around people who care about me. I'm not alone... I wonder how mom is... no, don't let her ruin the mood.

I shook my head and washed the dishes, setting them on the drying rack before throwing myself on the couch. Laying in my stomach as I got comfortable. I turned the tv on, making sure the volume was low as I turned on some random nature documentary. Patched hopped up next to me and laid down, purring as I gently scratched her head.

"Hey, Patches... do you like Sapnap and George?" I asked softly. She meowed softly, rubbing her cheek against my hand. I smiled, resting my head on my arm as I yawned softly, setting an alarm for an hour just to be safe.
~~~~~

"He looks so cute when he's asleep." Sapnap cooed as he poked my cheek. I huffed, pulling my hood over my face.

"You woke him up." George said, swatting Sapnap away.

"What time is it?" I mumbled, slowly sitting up and rubbing my eyes sleepily.

"It's 8pm." Sapnap said. I groaned, I slept for three hours. "You're hair is all fluffy. Your alarm went off but you turned your phone off and curled back up."

"We ordered pizza." George said, holding a plate in front of me. I took the plate, blinking slowly as I woke myself up a bit more.

"Thanks." I smiled, nibbling on the pizza. Sapnap sat on my left and George sat on my right, they had put a movie on at some point and we all watched.

I ended up eating half a slice before setting the plate on the coffee table and curly back up, leaning against Sapnap since he was the closest and the warmest thing near me. He didn't comment or seem to mind as I got myself comfortable. My eyes sliding shut as I fell asleep again.
~~~~~

"Dream, don't you want to protect your friends?" He asked with a crooked grin.

"They're safe with me... at my house." I said, sitting in the middle of what looked like a library.

"I can protect them when you can't, Dream... let me out, please." He purred, resting his hand on my shoulder. "You seem so tired. Let me help."

"I'm fine... really." I assured but I couldn't hold back the yawn.

"Lay down, take a rest, it'll be okay. You can trust me." He assured and I sighed, letting him lead me to a room with a bed. I climbed in, everything felt so warm and soft. "That's it. Sleep."
