:o how did you know i was thinking about this yesterday!!! okay okay so!

sapnap fell first and dream fell harder.

we have sapnap who’s been in love with dream for YEARS, pining away since they were teenagers over this guy he’s only seen the face of maybe twice, both times through a very shitty video call. but it doesn’t matter and as the years go by the feelings get a little worse and never go away, and sapnap is stuck pining

and then they move in together. and dream falls hard and dream falls FAST. he has the money and the means to so of course he starts taking care of sapnap (as if he hadn’t been before honestly but before it didn’t feel like this. before it was gifting his best friend, his longest friend, 30k just because he COULD and he wanted to show his appreciation of the friendship, but it’s different in person). he pays for sapnap’s food, for the house, for the bills, for minor things that sapnap mentions off-hand that then show up a week or so later. words get all tangled up in his mouth so this, buying sapnap stuff he wants or needs, is the best way for dream to try to express his feelings

dream goes so very overboard because it’s all new and fresh and strong, and sapnap’s love has just been this steady flow, a steady slow burn because he’s been pining almost half his life at this point
