jealous george, ambiguous relationships, bottom dream, getting together

He shuts the phone off, dropping it in his lap and turning to face Dream. “What the fuck?” “What? You’ve never seen Grindr before?” Dream asks, entirely too relaxed for George’s taste. “I mean- obviously I’ve heard of it but- Why do you have it?” “To make business connections,” Dream answers, completely stone faced, only cracking when George digs a finger between his ribs, pressing harder when he shies away. “Okay! Okay, Jesus. George. Come on.” “Have you been hooking up with guys?” he asks, blunt, and it feels like the air leaves the room. Dream seems entirely nonchalant when he says, “No, not yet I guess.” “Not yet?” Dream seems to finally notice his silence, and the way his body has gone stiff, because he turns on the couch to fully face him, expression draped in concern. “George? Is that okay? I figured- I figured it fit into our, like, agreement or whatever. But you can tell me if you want me to stop. I’ll delete it now. Shit, actually let me-”

or, dream and george aren't together- exclusively. so why does george care that dream might be seeing other guys?

office romance?? no way ??

this clip is how i would introduce dnf to someone who's never heard of them. i genuinely think it summarizes them.
