Misery Loves Company

Lil Fluff And Comfort

Short chapter

You nuzzle your face into Dream’s tunic, trying to calm down again having just calmed down from a brief panic attack, “if you can’t guess, i was in a really dark place after that and left multiple aus destroyed in the wake of my wrath” you explain, feeling their sadness, terror, and anger. “i calmed down only two centuries later, which was about two centuries ago and felt terrified at my own doing” you say, “the influence of LV was very strong but i somehow managed to overcome it”.

“i decided to turn my anger and pain into determination, i didn’t want others to feel how i did at all, even if it did strengthen me”, Dream begins to softly stroke your back and spine, “then i built this castle, in a very old but essential and original au. my and dream’s au, dreamtale”, you lean into Dream, feeling much better, “then i found you, my boys, the monsters i could trust because each of you have felt similar pain” you say softly.

A soft smile takes over your face as you lean into Dream, “as horriendous as my past is, i wouldn’t change much about it, because i would have never met you all nor would i have become the person i am today” you say and you can feel their surprise and affection, you feel like you’re in some kind of daze.

“as much as i threaten you all, i don’t know what i’d do if a single one of you got hurt in a way beyond repair. your happiness is all i’ve wanted for a good while now, but don’t you dare get cocky about it” you say, feeling a bit flustered. Dream chuckles, “just say it outright, nighty”, you didn’t know you could blush more but you do. “i love you guys, i guess” you grumble lowly.

“what did you say, nighty? i don’t think they heard” Dream teases and you growl, “they know what i said!!” you snap, pushing yourself out of Dream’s lap, purple lighting up your dark room. You look to the boys and are very surprised to see them crying.

“h-hey!! don’t cry!!! why are you guys crying?!”, you instantly panic, not being too good with properly dealing with emotions in a way that wasn’t bad or manipulative. Dream smiles at you but you instantly sense the sadness that the grin holds, “what happened to you was sad and wrong, they are expressing empathy for your pain, brother” he states and you freeze.

For you?

Cross is the first to speak, “may i hug you, nightmare?!” he inquires, rather loudly and your soul warms at his weird display of affection. You open your arms wordlessly turning your face away as you flush and Cross rushes into them, nearly knocking you back, the rest seem to join in, adding their own weight to the pile and sending as much soothing magic as they could to you.

Your soul felt so warm....

You felt loved...

You felt wanted...

You felt happy....
