Summary: The best of both worlds- or not.

(Warning: This story contains mild swearing and cursed Genomare. Do not proceed if you value your sanity.)

Clear skies rested overhead. Not a single cloud or plane or flying creature (unless you count Death invisibly lurking in the background, seething in jealousy) dared mar it; Only the sun and its radiant brilliance laid claim to the space.

A soft smile played on Geno's jaws as he sat in front of his lover. A black picnic blanket was spread out beneath them, bearing all the necessities for their romantic outing: water, food (sandwiches and fruit slices for the Aftertale Sans and a nutrient-rich powder mixture for his partner), a bouquet of roses, and of course, the picnic basket they carried everything in.

"You know, it's been a while since we had a day to ourselves; just you and I." Geno murmured, gently tracing the edges of Nightmare's dark cyan trunk. "Usually, whenever we have a remotely quiet day, something always seems to get in the way- whether it be the boys or-"

An enraged howl echoed over the hilly landscape they'd made themselves home at, growing louder and louder until- Dream breached the horizon, rushing toward the duo at full speed with his weapon drawn.

"Get away from my brother!" He screeched. An arrow already zoomed through the air, freed from his bow, sailing right for Geno.

"Stars, damn!" The bloody glitch hissed, swiftly teleporting out of the way of the projectile before snatching Nightmare's pot off the ground while the dark tree lord rattled his branches in anger at their afternoon being ruined.

By his brother, no less. (Do the tree codes of brotherhood truly hold no weight anymore? Whatever happened to "Thou shan't interrupt thine brother when he's on a quest for bitches?")

"Give him back, you dirty brother stealer!" The Guardian of Positivity shouted after them.

Geno continued moving forward, not even looking back as he shouted a firm "NO!" and teleported him and Nightmare back to the safety of their castle. And away from his deranged, over-protective brother.
