Date night! Date night! Date night! Stars, I haven't had a date night since Blue died! It wouldn't be much, just a picnic in Outertale. I would've suggested Grillby's, but I know how he gets with grease, so picnic it was. I made some sandwiches for the both of us with a bottle of shampane, a bag of grapes, you know.. all that healthy, flirty bullshit. But it's what Blue wanted and happy Blue, happy life. I packed the blueberries and a bottle of ketchup in with every else before going to fetch a quilt. Blueberry was glowing, literally and figuratively, and I found myself blushing. He was so fucking cute and hot and- Calm down, Dust, of you'll die of adorableness overload. I snickered to myself, as I rolled up the quilt and fetched the basket. "Ya ready, Baby Blue?" OH STARS YES!!! I laughed at his reaction. "Then let's get going."

💔💔💔

Soon we were there and I was spreading out the quilt while Blue unpacked the basket. Ketchup Dust, really? "For emergencies only." What kind of emergencies? "The worst kind of emergencies." I replied, thinking of certain people. Outertale wasn't just our favorite place, after all. It was pretty much everyone's. Blue Blue continued unpacking. Sandwichs, grapes, blueberries, cubes of cheese, crackers, summer sausage, shampane- oh shampane! "Later Blue, can you even eat or drink?" Can Napstablook eat and drink? "Well yeah, but he was born a-" Blue popped a blueberry in his mouth. I gasped dramatically. "How dare you eat your own kind!" Blue looked startled and confused for a moment.. until he looked at the berries and started laughing. I joined him. "Y-you cannibal!!" But my kind tastes so good! Blueberry protested, making us laugh harder.

💔💔💔

We spent most of the date talking and eating. I popped open the shampane and poured some glasses. "Not to much you lightweight." I teased. We both know that YOU are the lightweight here." Blue shot back. "Ok, ok.. we are both lightweights. I get it." I chuckled. "We can leave the rest for Kustard or something." Kustard? "Nevermind, just a rambling crazy guy." I waved off, taking a sip. Soon enough I had a drunk ghost in my lap, with his arms around my neck, legs around my spine, and head on my chest. It was adorable.

💔💔💔

"Dust?" I was packing up while Blue clung to me like a koala. I turned to see my old pals Killer and Horror. Yay. "Sup, how's Nootmare's?" They were taken aback. We all were well aware that Nightmare HATED that nickname. They NEVER called him as such out of fear of being tortured. Me saying it so openly.. it was scary. "Uh.. not as fun with you gone." Horror couldn't see any difference, but there was something different about me. They could both feel it. "How are you?" Killer asked. "I'm good. I'm doing good. I'm stable." I replied. "Stable?" That's when it hit them. I wasn't talking to Phantom. "Hey.." Killer decided to see. "How's Phantom?" I laughed lightly, sounding almost sad. I'd let go of Phantom. Let him move on. Whether he actually did or not, I didn't know, but he hadn't come back since before my treatment. He may have truly just been my imagination. At least Blue wasn't. "He's gone. Dead. In a better place... I hope." They exchanged looks. "I gotta go.. but it was nice seeing ya, boys." I finished gathering my shit and left them there.

💔💔💔

I put everything away and walked Blue to his room. I couldn't be in there with him alone, but it WAS still his room. I untangled him from me and let him relax on his bed. "Goodnight, Blueberry~" I kissed the top of his skull. He mumbled incoherently, as I turned. "Love you too." I closed the door behind me. All in all, not to bad. I didn't run into Nightmare or Error, so I was good. I plopped on the couch with a tired yawn. Can't wait for what tomorrow brings.
