Rest (Ghost Au)

Chapter 30

"Long time no see, Dream."

"Hello, Sapnap."

"Hi, I'm Tubbo!"

Dream flinched as the young brunet spoke, "Excuse me for a moment," he told Sapnap before turning around and lifting the crystal ball to his face. "Tubbo, what the hell?" He half-yelled, half-whispered. 

"What? George said Sapnap was your friend or something?" Tubbo said.

"The thing is, Tubbo," Dream started. "You said Reapers are after you, yeah?"

"Uhuh."

"Reapers wear brown robes, right?"

A nod.

"Tell me what the man's wearing, please." Dream lifted the crystal ball tilting it to his left slightly so that Tubbo could see.

Tubbo stared at the black haired guy who had a confused look plastered on his face, a hand raised scratching his head. When he looked at what he was wearing he realized, "Oh, he's a Reaper. Yeah, I'll go now." Tubbo immediately hung up the crystal ball by covering it with a cloth.

Dream looked back at Sapnap, "Now, where were we?"

"Are we really just gonna ignore that?" Sapnap crossed his arms across his chest.

"Yes?" Dream said. 

Sapnap gave him a look. 

Dream sighed, "Heard you guys caught someone to bring to court today?" He started.

"Oh? Kinda surprised you know about that," Sapnap said, eyebrow raised. "Considering you rarely come here anymore."

Dream could feel the bitterness in Sapnap's voice radiating off of him. "Yeah, it'll be nice to catch up," he tried detering the conversation.

Sapnap couldn't help but smirk at this, "Well, we haven't seen each other for over a year now, I reckon it'll be nice," he said. "So what have you been up to, Dream?"

"Just hanging around the Human Realm," Dream answered. "Trying to make a stronger connection with my sister, watch her grow up and all that," he let a fond smile slip to his lips as he spoke.

"Oh, yeah, I remember your sister," Sapnap gave a little chuckle. "Doesn't like me very much, says I'm too 'Sapnap' whatever that means." He made air quotes with his fingers.

Dream laughed, "I remember that too, it was back when you'd hang around our house for continous amounts of times and she'd come into the living room, stare at you for a bit with a blank face, then immediately leave."

Sapnap furrowed his eyebrows, silently searching his brain for that certain memory, but nothing came to mind. "I don't," he said.

"W—what?"

"I said I don't," Sapnap repeated. "I don't remember that."

"How can you not? We'd always laugh whenever she does that," Dream said.

Sapnap hummed, "I don't know, maybe it's the fact that apart from how we died I don't really remember much?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.

Dream gulped, he hit a touchy subject. He remembered when he and Sapnap first saw each other in the Ghost Realm. That was one heck of a trip down memory lane. Sapnap told him about his situation back then—that's how Dream learned the full story of his death—apparently, when Sapnap woke up, he was on a mountain.

The mountain barely got any tourists, so he was alone. Unlike Dream, who has George, no one was there to help Sapnap remember. That's why Sapnap still has no clue why he's a ghost.
