|| Dream's Temporal Home ||

- So, why this house is filled with hundreds of books?- Nightmare asked staring at the piles of the mentioned items - My brother isn't the re- ...- he sighed sadly - He wasn't the reading type.- he hugged himself - I seem to forgot that my cheerful little brother is no longer here...- he mumbled, receiving a pity look from Blue.

The blue scarfed put a hand on the goopy skeleton's shoulder, doing a small comforting squeeze - Don't worry, Night.- he smiled tenderly - Dream will always love you, no matter if he behaves like a small child with a happy smile or as an emotionless person.-

- That's the problem, Blue. Was he really happy? Those smiles that he always gave me... Were they real? Or were they forced like mines? At this point I don't know... I don't even know if I am going to ever see his smile again.- Blue hugged the taller skeleton, noticing that he started to change from his corrupted form to his normal form, his eyesockets had purple tears going down - I miss his old self, the one that made everything shine, the one that made my day way better just by being there... The one I always thought I was protecting when I was bullied...- he sobbed - They destroyed him... They stomped on him and shattered every single piece of his soul, they killed his former self...- Blue made the hug more intense.

- Night, Night. Remember, he is still here, even if he doesn't show it; he is your brother and he will always love you.- he sighed sadly - You couldn't have known what happened to him, I didn't even know about it until Dream told me.- he broke the hug and stared at the king's purple pupils, grabbing gently his face - Believe me, Dream adores and loves you more than anything else.- Nightmare smiled slightly, his eyesockets still showing a couple of tears.

The purple eyed cleaned his tears with his sleeve, sighing, then he looked back at the books - ... You still didn't answered me what's with the books.- he mumbled.

Blue giggled softly, then he remembered what would cause if he tells him and started to get a little worried - Emm... We-well... Is a l-little c-complicated to expl-

- Is for my brother, isn't it?- Blue looked more nervous but finally nodded - ... What are you teaching him?- the blue eyed turned more nervous.

- ... D-daily... Life stuff and how to read...-

- ...-

- ...-

Nightmare opened his mouth to say something but he was interrupted by his twin's scream - Stop! Please! Let me go!- he ran towards the golden eyed's room, slamming the door open and seeing his brother trashing and fighting against someone on his dreams (Killer left 2 minutes ago).

The purple clothed grabbed his brother in a protective hug, whispering soothing things and rubbing his arms, that seemed to calm down the dreamer, which stopped fighting and curled into the arms that were holding him. Blue sighed in relief, he was nearly having an attack for the intense scream that the smaller did.

- Nighty?- Dream mumbled in his dreams.

- I am here, little brother.- the smaller curled up more.

- Is okay if I don't use my cloak today? They damaged it and I don't want them to do it again.- he mumbled, he was still asleep and apparently dreaming with his time back on Dreamtale. Nightmare, however, didn't remember this conversation, his brother never asked to not use his cloak and certainly, he never told him that the villagers damaged it in any way.

- ... Is okay... But, how did they damage it? I don't see any hole or similar.- he replied.

- With a horrible game. They choked me with it, meanwhile they were slamming things inside me.- Nightmare started to tremble after hearing that, Blue covered his mouth with both hands, tears starting to fall from his eyesockets - When they finished, there was this disgusting liquid thing that is white and sticky, they used my cloak to clean that liquid from their bodies and my down parts.- the purple eyed started to cry again, shaking more and the blue scarfed's tears fell down without control.

The cloak was something that Nightmare gave to Dream, it has a deep special meaning to them both, and the fact that the villagers not only abused both of them, they also tainted and destroyed something so special was something that made the king not sad, but furious and filled with more hatred that before. He changed from his normal form to his corrupted one, his tentacles twitching angrily.

The change from emotions made Dream wake up, being a little surprised at finding his brother hugging him so protectively and at the same time, seeing his friend crying his eyelights out - Night?- he mumbled rubbing one of his eyesockets, the aforementioned looked at him, his gaze softening.

- You okay there?- the smaller nodded.

- I feel that you are angry.- he touched the taller's face gently - Did I say something bad?- the goopy skeleton shook his head negatively.

- You didn't, little brother. I was remembering a bad time back in Dreamtale, everything is fine now.-

• A couple of hours later •

Dream was reading a book, his brother next to him and helping him pronounce the difficult words, meanwhile Blue cooked something for Dream and him along with some extra food for the Bad Guys that Nightmare is going to take to the manor.

The golden eyed learned new stuff and his vocabulary extended a little bit, he was quite happy even if he didn't show it. Minutes later, Nightmare announced that he needed to go back to his castle so he left, taking with him some bags of extra food for his team; Blue informed that he would go there some time later and stayed with Dream on his house.

After giving a last heat on the food, Blue took out the recently cooked rice, grabbed some extra ingredients and combined them to form two sushi rolls. He placed them on the refrigerator and waited an hour to take them out. Meanwhile, the taller started teaching the golden eyed how to grab the chopsticks to eat sushi with a mini tomato that he bought. Dream still hadn't done progress compared to the moment at the restaurant but he tried more times than before.

- Come on, you almost got it.- the blue eyed watched the golden crowned try for the umptenth time to grab the tomato with the chopsticks, the smaller finally managed to do it, now he had to eat it. When he did, Blue cheered too much excited that it made the dreamer feel a little excess of positivity.

- Too much.- Dream trembled.

- Sorry, Dreamy.- he clapped - Alright. Let's take a break, shall we? You have learned a lot and you went through a lot today, so we should just finish the dinner and go to sleep. Alright?- the smaller nodded trying to grab a second mini tomato. Blue checked the sushi, seeing that it was perfectly fine, he cut the rolls and placed them in two plates, he put them on the table in front of Dream and him, finally he sat next to the smaller - If you need help, tell me.- the golden eyed nodded trying to grab the sushi with the chopsticks.

He managed to grab 3 and eat them - I did it. Yay.- he said in his emotionless voice. Blue smiled at him proudly and gave him the thumbs up.

• Some weeks later •
▪︎Candytale - Copy #192722▪︎

- I was having a good day until your stupid face showed up.- Dream's face showed no emotion, but internally, he was enraged. Ink just smirked evily, summoning a sharp black bone.

- Sorry to ruin your day, Golden Whore.-

- The only whore between us, is you.- the Creator frowned at the insult. He charged towards the smaller, the latter dodged the attack with ease, creating a turquoise sword and slashing the Creator's leg.

Ink growled, creating two gaster blasters and firing them, Dream dodged them while jumping higher, then teleported above one of them using his sword to destroy it at the same time that he created a spear-like-arrow and threw it to the second blaster. He teleported away from the scene, the Creator made multiples lines of sharp bones towards the dreamer, the latter created a shield around him, internally growling at the blocked view by the bones.

The Creator jumped and threw a huge amount of paint, above the shield and the bones, then he turned it into acid, which broke the shield and burned the golden eyed skeleton.

Dream was containing the urge the scream his non-existent lungs out for the intense pain that the acid caused, but he resisted and made a small unnoticeable wince. His clothes were burned a lot, his bones started to crack and his skull was ready to ressemble Horror's one, so he teleported away and left the AU in a hurry.

▪︎Magetale▪︎

As soon as he arrived, he fell hard on the ground, his breathe has almost gone, he felt his skull start to break and his arms losing estructure, turning into dust slowly. Suddenly, he puked his own magic and started seeing black spots... Until he saw only black and passed out, his body turning to dust more quickly than before.

=======================

Curse you, Ink >:c

Sorry for the huge waiting and delay. I had other works on my Spanish account to deal with ;;w;;
