Dream's POV

"You seem to be behaving differently" I mutter.

"I don't mean to" y/n replies.

"Sorry" I mumble. What does it matter if she's acting strangely. She's probably just tired. It has been an exceptionally long day.

Corpse sits himself down in the seat across from the girl.

"Do you wanna do something? We could go over to mine to find something. Or.. I don't mind if you want to grab something from the store.. or... something" he speaks gently, taking her hand.

I glared daggers at the man, my gaze burning into the side of his face. My body had tensed at their contact. I sat rigidly, arms glued to my side.

"Should we go have a look? Around the shops I mean" she asked, uncertain.

Sapnap sat across from me, beside Corpse, y/n's phone in hand.

"What are we talking about here?" He leaned back, stretching dramatically.

"Should we go out to see if we can buy something that'll keep us busy?" Corpse turned to Sapnap, massaging Darling's hand.

"I mean... sure. I'm gonna die of boredom if we don't do something" Sap muttered. My gaze was still fixed on the hands that sat in the middle of the table, gripping onto each other.

I felt a weight ease itself onto my shoulder, I was broken from my moment of frustration as I peered down at y/n who had let her head rest against me.

"Dream? What do you wanna do?" She asked.

"Uh.. it- it doesn't really bother me" I smiled softly, occupying my hand with her hair again.

I watched as she unlatched her fingers from Corpse's grasp, stood up, and instead took my hand into her own.

We wander aimlessly through the countless isles of the dim, empty, peacefully quiet store.
Currently we were slowly sauntering down the entertainment isle, full of board games, card games, small pointless toys, etc.

Corpse had buried himself in a large hoodie, mask pulled lazily over his face. He roamed alongside me, as I was pulled behind y/n who was following behind Sapnap, her small, slothful steps seemed unfocused.

Although I wasn't fond of Corpse–because he tends to loot y/n of all her affection–, I didn't have anything against him–other than the fact that he tends to loot y/n of all her affection–.

In fact, he just seems to be a lonely soul, struggling with life, and he just happened to find y/n, befriend her, and–take advantage of her to make life more bearable–help them both by being lonely together.

I almost felt sorry for him. Almost.

Corpse's POV

'Why is Dream looking at me like that-? Did I do something?? Why am I getting the feeling that he really does not like me-' I glanced down at Dream and y/n's hands, their fingers interlaced, before side looking back up at him Dream to see his confusing glare tracked on the side of my face.

I looked back ahead of me immediately, not wanting to get awkwardly caught staring at Dream, even though he'd been staring at me for a while now already.

"Hey guys! You know that uno game?" Sapnap called out.

"Yeah?" Y/n replied.

"Mhm" Dream mumbled, turning his focus to the brunette that held a colourful pack of cards excitedly. I just nodded, to show my understanding.

"Well... this is uno flip!!" He gestures to the cards in his hand. "And I have no idea what that means but it looks fun" he added, shrugging.

I chuckled, listening to the pitter-pattering on the tin roof of the market. We continued to amble around, irregularly picking up the odd item thought to keep us busy.

By the time we'd all agreed on deciding to head home, we'd filled the bottom of the basket with a few board games and such.

Sapnap's POV

I flopped down in the wide, round barrel seat, which was–by the way–my new favourite piece of furniture in the entire condo.

I scanned over the newly purchased items that sat in the bag rested on my lap. I looked up as y/n shuffled up beside me. I moved over an inch so she could sit equally beside me.

"So. What are we doing first?" She asks.

"Hmmm... I say.. Monopoly?" I propose.

"Classic" Dream uttered.

"Shut up ass" I spat, rolling my eyes at his blasé scheme.

"Make me" he muttered.

"Woah, calm down Dream" I widened my eyes teasingly.

"Not like that, you idiot" he shook his head. The others and I simply laughed whilst y/n started unboxing the board game.
