Late Night Texts
my brain won’t shut up and it’s 6am so here u go, a little fic thing based off of this concept i posted literally 2 hours ago bc i have no chill
dream is overly exhausted and can’t sleep, so he texts someone who can help him
(lee!dream / ler!sapnap : 1.1k words)
Another toss, another turn, another grunt of frustration. No matter what he did, Dream couldn’t get himself to fall asleep. He was so exhausted yet had so much pent up energy that it wasn’t allowing him to fully relax. The blonde had tried everything; he had put on some netflix to try and distract himself, he scrolled through his twitter feed, he even tried some asmr - nothing was working.
Eventually he settled on playing some rain sounds on youtube, the 10 hour storm compilation lighting up the room every time there was a strike of lightning on the screen. Dream had also opted to turn on his galaxy light, turning over to star up at the dim purple and blue lights covering his ceiling.
He was sure that this would work. It had to work. He was in the comfiest bed he’d ever been in, had the most soothing sounds and sights going, and his eyes were so tired they burned. But much to his disappointment, it still wasn’t enough.
“What the fuck.” Dream let out a mumble as he turned to lay on his stomach, tears prickling at the corner of his eyes both from the frustration and how absolutely worn out he was. He picked up his phone once more, seeing that it was only 2AM.
Suddenly, a thought popped into his head that made him blush - he couldn’t, could he? Surely the other boy was asleep. He’d been traveling and socializing for days as well, if not weeks. There was no way he could bother him; this was a problem Dream had to solve for himself, he decided. But when another half hour went by of more tossing and turning, he decided to drop his pride and do it anyway.
“Can you do the thing?” He squinted at the bright screen, finger hovering over the send button for a moment before taking a deep breath and pressing down, hearing the whirl of the message going through.
He was met with instant regret, dropping his phone onto the mattress and cursing himself for texting his best friend in the middle of the night like some booty call. Dream buried his face into his pillow, face warm with embarrassment that he’d even asked for help at all.
His brain would’ve kept running with this narrative had he not heard a tiny knock on his door followed by the click of it opening and someone shuffling inside. Dream kept his head buried into the pillow as he felt the bed dip, followed by a warm body pressed up against his side.
“Hey Dreamie, you okay?” he heard the younger boys voice from behind him, Sapnap speaking incredibly soft and kind through the darkness. Dream shrugged in response, letting out a deeper breath as he turned his head the opposite way to face Sapnap.
“Just can’t sleep.” the blonde mumbled, feeling even more sheepish than before. The brunette gave him a sad smile and an understanding nod before reaching a hand out and gently moving a stray curl that had fallen over his right eye, letting out a huff of air through his nose when Sapnap’s hand grazed his cheek.
“Too tired to sleep, huh?” Sapnap questioned, getting a sleepy nod and a yawn from the taller boy in response. “I can help with that.”
Dream nodded once more, scooting himself even closer to Sapnap to feel the calming warmth that was radiating from him. He closed his eyes as he felt Sapnap run a hand under his shirt across his back, dragging the shirt up with him as his hand traced higher and higher. Eventually Sapnap tapped at the collar of his shirt and Dream understood immediately, leaning up on an elbow as he reached behind his head and grabbed the fabric, pulling it over his head and chucking it somewhere across the room. He felt goosebumps the minute Sapnap’s hand touched down to resume the tracing.
The younger boy giggled at that, loving when he was able to make Dream shiver from the lightest touches. Even through the dim purple and blue hues of the galaxy light Sapnap could tell the boy was blushing, a wobbly smile forming on his face as the fingers on his back traced up and down his spine slowly. Another shiver and suddenly a quiet giggle had fallen from Dream’s lips, followed by a few more with some squeaks mixed it.
It tickled. It definitely tickled, but Dream didn’t mind. He loved how Sapnap knew just how to make the tickles relaxing, not as unbearable as if he was tickling Dream to pieces. The swirls around his shoulder blades produced more goosebumps as Sapnap continued to skitter his fingers up to his shoulders, another little squeal escaping him when they reached up to play with the curls at the base of his neck. Sapnap let himself turn to the side, looking up at the lights as he listened to Dream’s little chirps and giggles. He yawned himself, finding the storm sounds to be incredibly soothing.
The brunette began cooing over Dream, giving him light praise about how well he’s been doing since the face reveal, and how proud of him he was that he had gone through with it knowing everything he’d face in backlash. Dream hummed in acknowledgement, whining when Sapnap continued to tell him how proud he was. The blonde’s tired mind didn’t know how to handle the praise, and he was left with no choice but to fling himself towards Sapnap, burying his face into the crook of his neck while the younger boy laughed quietly, pressing a kiss to the top of Dream’s head.
“It’s alright Dreamie, I’ll stop I promise. But I am just so proud of you, I wanted you to know that.” Another whine and a quick peck to Sapnap’s collarbone was Dream’s response to the praise, making Sapnap giggle again, this time at the tingling sensation.
After a few minutes, he felt Dream’s breathing even out, pulling back slightly to see that the older boy had in fact finally fallen asleep. Sapnap adjusted slightly to make himself more comfortable before resuming the tracing on Dream’s back, closing his eyes and allowing the sounds of the rain to slowly lull him into a deep sleep, not far behind Dream.

Hey, hello! I Purity Amira and I am really sorry for sending this, I just hope I’m not overstepping any boundaries as I’m about to ask for help which is very important right now. Our Sleepy cat requires urgent medical attention from the veterinarian. She is experiencing pain and I don’t have the money to take her to the vet to help her. so, I am asking for help from any well-wisher. Even if you can’t spare some money to help, reposting the link would be of great help. She helps me in taking care of my daughter since they are best friends and she is my only close relation with mom since my mom died last year 2021. If you would be interested to help, I have Pinned the post on my blog, please you can try reply to the ask privately as well because some people like getting creepy over this matter. We are alright, pray for us, please. ♥️🙏
