"Yeah sure, okay Dream."
"Just say it, George. Please." There was something so eager in Dream's voice that made George happy. George loved this helpless teasing, a little more than he knew he should've. The fans were starting to take notice of it too. The lingering gazes at George's monitor when Dream would join a call. The way George's face would flush red when Dream dragged out his name.
"No, I'm not." Dream huffed and kept doing whatever he was doing in the SMP today.
"You do though right?" There was something in his voice that made George's heart break. Did Dream really doubt George's love for him? The amounts of times he had sent it in texts and spent hours talking with him on the phone talking about everything thing and nothing.
But then it dawned on George. He had never really said it out loud to him. It had always been behind a screen and typed up. Never once had Dream ever heard it coming out of George's mouth.
"I'll be right back Dream." George sat up from the gaming chair. He needed some water, just to get out of this moment for a few seconds. He hated showing his feelings to the world, he was a private person and Dream knew this. So why was he urging him on? Especially when it didn't sound like playful stream banter.
"Right, okay, I'll entertain the stream while you're gone." His voice sounded bland, upset.
"I'll only be a minute," George confirmed. Walking out of the room. Not realizing he had bumped the desk changing the angle of his camera.
Revealing the large bisexual flag hanging on his other wall.
"George!" It was too late. George couldn't hear how he yelled for him to come back. It was too late. The clips have probably already been made and Dream knew that there were going to be videos uploaded on youtube in less than five minutes.
"Shit, shit, shit." Dream muttered, having not known about his best friend. And if Dream didn't know then he knew that George wouldn't want the fans to know just yet. Dream tried calling George, hoping that maybe just maybe there was a chance it wasn't sitting on his desk and was in his jean pocket. But he knew that wasn't true when he heard George's ringtone echo into Dream's headphones from Discord.
"Shit, George. God, you are so clumsy."
"Hey, guys I'm back -of fuck-" George hurriedly ran to fix his camera. But it was too late, he knew that.
Those thirty seconds George was gone felt like hours to Dream. Knowing that something so large was revealed about George made Dream's heart wrench.
"Guys I gotta end the stream. I'll explain everything tomorrow." Within seconds Dream saw the 'Stream has ended' on his other monitor. Dream had caught a glimpse of George's teary eyes before it ended. Thus leaving the two in the silent voice call alone.
"Fuck, Dream what am I going to do?" Dream wasn't going to treat this like a big deal. Even though it was he would have to act calm and reserved for George. Not like he felt like crying because his friend is hurt and screaming for joy because he found out that the boy he liked was bi. He had to act calm. For his best friend.
"It's okay, George. I promise everything will be fine." Dream wanted to hug him. To pull him close and reassure him but there was an ocean between the two. This wouldn't be happening for a while.
"They know. You know. God this isn't how I wanted you to find out." Dream felt like crying. He hurt so badly for George. "The fans are different, it doesn't matter as much if they know or not but you. You're my best friend and you had to find out this way."
"George." He said his name and George gave a little hum in response. "Everything is fine. I'm so happy that you are bi. I am so proud of you."
"I'm glad." He said, Dream could almost hear his smile.
"You deserve the world, George. You are so perfect. You're you. I know it would've been so much better if you had been able to do this on your own terms. I understand that I've been there. But now you don't have to worry about it. They know, it's over with."
"I guess. At least now I won't have to make a coming-out video. But this feels so much more humiliating."
"I know George. I know. My coming out seems so much better than that compared to this." George laughed, remembering the way Dream had gotten high and accidentally talked about an old boyfriend of his on stream.
"No yours was worse. But at least your comfortable with yourself enough you handled it well."
"George you know that's a lie. I was on call with you all night that night and I bawled like a baby."
"Well, you still acted a lot stronger than I am."
"George being strong doesn't matter right now. This is a huge aspect of your life. You are allowed to be upset, I'm just trying to make you feel better about it."
"Always helping me see the bright side of things."
"That's my job." Dream said proudly. There was a few seconds of comfortable silence before George spoke.
"Hey Dream."
"Yeah?" Dream's voice was soft and warm. He was always so patient.
"I love you. I love you so much." George said, his voice low as if there were still thousands of people watching.
"I love you so much too, George. More than you can even imagine." This made George's eyebrow raise. He was intrigued.
"Is that so Dream?"
"Yeah," George Spoke next.
"I know that I've never said it aloud dream, I'm sorry for that. But never doubt how much you mean to me. How happy you make me. I don't just love you Dream, I'm in love with you." Dream's breath hitched, this was one of the many times that George yearned to see Dream's face.
"I'm in love with you too."
#GeorgesAccidentalComingOutVideo and #GeorgesGaynessWasFound were some of the few hashtags trending on Twitter for days after that. The fans were feeding off of it.
But they were completely unaware of the things that happened after George's stream.
How two best friends confessed their love for each other over a discord call.
One of them not even knowing what the other looked like.
But that didn't stop him. He knew he loved him.
George knew he loved Dream.
