                He woke up to a void.

  Dream saw himself and Nightmare having fun under their used-to-be mother, the tree that is.

The tree sacrificed its life and created Dream and Nightmare to keep a balance around the multiverse.

They were both playing around until someone called Dream to play with them instead, to distract him so they can hurt his brother, he had no idea of it but the course said yes.

His brother however was dumbfounded but decided to play by himself.

Villagers started to come around him and tease him, saying how Dream was better then him. How he was a threat to the Village.

Nightmare couldn't take it anymore, he couldn't take the bullying, pain, and suffering anymore. The smaller decided to take one of the golden apples from the tree to show how we could be good too.

He opened his mouth to take a bite of the apple, once he did a strong force took him. His body broke making his bones turn into goop.

The power was too much for him, it started to overtake his bones.

The moment his eye light moved to look at the Villagers, they started to run. Running as fast as they can.

    But they weren't fast enough

Nightmares tentacles raised and stabbed the Citizens. Left and right, wherever they came.

Dream ran up to his brother to ask what happened and saw the monster in front of him. His legs started to shudder.

Is that his brother? Is that Nightmare?

" Brother please listen! "
His used-to-be brother turned around and said.

" You're brother is gone. " He smirked devilishly. As he moved his tentacle towards Dream, he had dogged it.

Dream looked at the bottom of the tree to see a black apple, it looked bitten. Two and two put together he realized what happened to his brother.

The taller ran over to the tree and quickly grabbed a Gold apple. He took a bite of it and then all of a sudden summoned a staff.

He was going to save his brother no matter what.

But then poor Dream was turned into stone by his own brother.

For 500 years.

...

After all that time Dreams-Best Friend Neil. A purple cat found his friend that turned into stone. The cat could hear his cries for help even though he wasn't moving.

Neil saved the skeleton and from that day taught him things that he didn't get to learn.

Like how to use his staff, or what some words meant. Neil became a father figure for Dream and helped him on his journey to get his brother back.

If it was possible they were willing to do it.

A bright light appeared when Dream opened his eyes.

Looking around he noticed he was in the hospital. On a soft and comfortable blue and white bed.

' What happened? ' He thought as three doctors came in the room to check his blood pressure, and asked him a couple of questions.

One of them was if his head hurt. It honestly did but he couldn't remember what had happened. Another one was if he felt light? No, he left fine other than his skull hurting.

While touching his head he didn't feel the Blue ribbon his little friend had got him... Scared he turned to see a small white dresser that had his crown and ribbon on it.

He sighed as the doctors said that some visitors wanted to see him.

Asking if it was ok Dream said yes and turned to the door to see a White and Black skeleton holding a box of chocolate and flowers.

Cross...

He sat next to the bed and slowly handed Dream the blossoms saying.

" I'm glad you're ok, you were hit in the head by Killer while trying to tell him to stop hurting AUs and people. " He smiled nervously.

" D-dont worry tho! Ink got him and is chasing him around at the moment."

The smaller skeleton smiled warmly hugging Cross.

" Thank you for being so kind Cross " He pulled away opening the box and deciding to try one of the cold, and delicious chocolates.

Purple filled the others face as he gave his crush a small " No problem ", and watched as the other enjoyed the treats.

' Maybe it the right time to tell him. No! What! He just woke up and got hit in the head!.............. Maybe I should tell him...'

Cross made his decision and called his crush's name. Dream dropped the Box of sweets luckily not making any fall on the bed as Cross grabbed his hand.

They were both looking into each other's eye lights.
He was going to say it!

" I love you Dream. "

"W-what! " He needed to make sure he heard that correctly.

" I. Love. You. Dream "

" What..." Tears, yellow tears streamed from Dream's eye sockets.

" Cross I know you don't love me. You only do because of my aura. "

Dreams aura in the past had got Nightmare into trouble, the people of the village wanted Dream to play with them all the time also to use him for his happy aura. His aura can make people fall in love with him, in a good but also very toxic way.

He appreciated what Cross does for him, he really did but...he wouldn't let someone get hurt again.

Two hands cupped his face, making him look in the other's purple eye lights.

" Dream I respect your decision but I know you're saying that because you don't want to hurt me. I wanted to help you so much to the point where I have fallen in love with you. It's not your aura, I promise it's not. I genuinely love you. I adore you Dream. I admire you so so so much. So please, let me love you Dream? "

Cross was filled with determination. The other always cared for other people, but who cared for him? Yes, he had friends but who loved him? No one.

More yellow tears went down his bones. He moved over to the taller cheek bone and gave it a light kiss.

" I will think about it. "
