As George ran inside like a little kid, Dream had no choice but to run after him before he lost the small boy in the arcade.
Once Dream stepped inside the building he was met with a dimly lit space and brightly colored light shining from all the games. He had not gone there since he was just a little boy. And he was amazed at how much it had stayed the same. He used to go there after school with his dad on Thursday's. But once his dad moved out when he was about nine that all stopped, and it had always been a special place to Dream, but he hadn't gone since that day... well until George.
He had finally found George looking at the claw machines at the back of the building. His eyes lit up when he saw a small stuffed elephant right on top of all the others. It was a grey, blueish purple and had giant floppy ears that weighed down its head. George broke his stair when he felt Dream hug him from behind.
"Whatcha lookin at?" Dream said with his head nuzzled into the crook of the brunette shoulder.
"Nothin" George responded while turning around to face the taller boy. He immediately turned a flush red as he made eye contact. A smirk crept onto Dream's lips when he saw how flustered the boy below him had just gotten. George looked down trying to hind it but it was no use. Dream had already seen it and there was no use of hiding. Dream loved that he could do that to George.
"Let's go get tokens." George said, quickly speeding off. Weaving through all the people like it was so easy, for Dream it was a bit harder to do so.
"Alright, whatever you said." said Dream, still not being able to get the smile off his face.
George already made it to the counter where they held all of the prizes, with Dream still managing how to get through all the teenagers.
"Yes hello, can I please have 50 tokens." George said, giving a friendly smile to the short teenage girl in front of him. She had brown curly hair and many freckles scattered across her rosy cheeks.
The girl didn't even reply; she just bent down under the table to grab the tokens. George could tell she was tired by the annoyed look plastered against her face.
"Hey George did you get the tokens ye-" Dream was cut off by the girl standing back up with a cup of tokens in her hand, while sliding them over to George, she noticed Dream.
"Oh uh hi, can I help you." The girl's eyes lit up and suddenly had a bubbly personality. She was not expecting this tall man in front of her.
"Oh no that's ok I am actually here with him." Dream says as he puts his left arm over George, trying to give a signal to the women, but she was just not taking it. George smiles looking up at Dream, but he is still looking at the girl.
"Oh ok well I get off of my shift at six, if you want to maybe get a drink or something." Said the girl behind the counter. She was now twirling a strand of hair around her finger.
George just gave her an 'excuse me' kind of look. Dream just nervously giggled, clearly uncomfortable.
"Oh no I can't, sorry, I am here with someone." Dream tried to walk away after that but she stopped them both.
"Well I can just get your number and we can do it some other time." said the lady that was
clearly not getting the hint.
"Hey listen lady, he is clearly comfortable, and he already has a boyfriend so just back off." George said, soon releasing what he had just said.
"What."
"What." both the lady and Dream said at the same time. Dream was just as shocked as the girl.
George couldn't go back on what had already been done so he just had to go along with it.
"Yeah, that is what i said wasn't it. But thank you so much for your service." George said walking away with Dream still having his arm around him. George turned around once more and gave the girl standing in shock a wind grin and a little wave.
Dream was still trying to comprehend everything that just happened, he was interrupted with
George.
"Hey you ok, I am sorry about her, you must get that a lot." Said George looking up at Dream once more but with an apologetic look this time.
"Thank you so much for helping." Dream said after a long pause, just trying to be able to sort out his words.
"Yeah don't worry about it, you were clearly uncomfortable and she was just not taking the no. God, I hate people like that." George said while rolling his eyes.
"Same." was all Dream said.
They both shared a laugh as they walked around the arcade.
"So what game do you want to play first." Dream asks while looking around trying to find a good place to start.
"Oo oo oo" George said when he saw an empty air hockey table across the room. He pointed at it as he ran right to the table. "Ok ok wait for me." was all Dream said before he started running himself. Once they made it to the table, they put in two tokens each and a disc was dispensed on George's side.
They played for a good hour straight and Dream had won four games and George had won two. They decided to stop and play a different game, even though George was a sore loser he agreed to stop.
"What do you want to do next."
"I don't know but I need to go to the bathroom so i will be right back." George said while handing over the cup of tokens. As soon as George was out of sight, Dream went to a game he had been eyeing this entire time.
George noticed that there was a small line as he walked down the hallway leading up to the bathroom. It was about five or so people, but it shouldn't take long before he was able to go. Once George was out of the bathroom he began looking for Dream. He was nowhere to be found.
George suddenly felt two hands on his shoulders. He slightly jumped because he had no idea who this was. He turned around and was met with Dream. He quickly hid something behind his back and had a big smile on his face.
"Whatcha got there." George questioned trying to look behind his back, but that was just no use.
"I have been wanting to ask you something." Dream said as his voice got a bit more nervous.
His tone of voice also made George nervous just thinking about what the question could be.
There was a long pause before Dream finished his thoughts.
"Will you be my boyfriend."
