It was dark that night. Clouds covered the stars and the moon was as black as could be.
A lone woman was walking up to the tree, a bundle in her arms as she stared up at the softly glowing gold and black apples.
"Guardians of this tree, please take care of my son." She breathed, voice raspy as she crouched to gently lower the bundle, nestling it in between two large roots.
She frowned as a tiny hand came out, reaching for her. "I'm sorry, little (Y/n), I'm too sick to care for you much longer. And I couldn't bear the thought of you seeing me turn to dust..."
She gently tucked your arm back into the blankets, leaving the note she'd written earlier tucked into them as well.
She caressed your forehead one last time before standing, a slight shake in her legs, and headed back down the hill.

Your soft little cries had alert a few birds, the small feathered avians fluttering down to chirp quietly at you. You shifted upon hearing footsteps, your cries getting louder. The birds all chirped along with you until a figure approached, and then they fluttered off.
"Dream!" The figure called, "Come look at this!"
You babbled and called for whoever was there, calming the moment they carefully scooped you up.
"What is it, Nightmare?" A second voice hit your ears, and as the blanket was shifted you blinked up at them.
Two skeletons like you, one sporting colors of day and light, the other sporting night and dark.
You grinned, reaching up to them with tiny grabby hands.
"Oh, they're so cute!" The light one cooed, beaming at your giggle as you were shifted to his arms.
"Hm? There's a note." The dark one slipped the folded parchment from the blankets, reading it over as his brother distracted you.
"Seems his mother wasn't able to care for him anymore, so she's entrusted him to us."
"Oh, that's so sad!" Dream frowned, "We'll just have to make sure we take extra good care of him!"
Nightmare chuckled. "Note said his name's (Y/n), guess we better head out and get the necessities if we're gonna take care of him."
"Right!" Dream exclaimed, handing you back over to Nightmare. "Let's not waste any more time!"

~le time skip~

"NiNi! Dre!" You yelled, running across the field as quickly as you small child legs would allow. In your hands and on your head were a plethora of flower crowns made of violet and yellow.
Nightmare glanced up from the book he was reading, smiling as you ran up to him and immediately dumped a few crowns on his head.
"Dream's in the cottage making tea." Nightmare chuckled, watching you run off with determination in each step, your little (color) cape flowing behind you.
You followed Dream's humming to the kitchen, pausing in the doorway to make sure he wouldn't drop anything if you startled him before running up and throwing the rest of the flower crowns in you hands onto his head.
"Ah! Oh (Y/n)! You startled me!" He gave you a smile, patting your head as he adjusted the crowns.
"You like em?"
"I think they're lovely. Now go sit with Nightmare, tea is almost done."
"Okay!"

(*Ahem* it is July 28th as I'm publishing this. 15 minutes into July 30th (so 12:15 am) I will turn 19!)
