   "Gotta have opposites, dark and light, light and dark in painting. It's like in life. Gotta have a little sadness once in a while so you know when the good times come." -Bob Ross

   

   No one's pov

   Horror and Nightmare walk through the portal in a hurry, under Nightmare's command. They walk into the meeting room of Nightmare's castle.
   Nightmare knows that it's still not over yet, and needed to get Horror out of that au before Shattered comes to find him.
   As much as Nightmare is in danger, everyone else is in more danger.

   "I assume the Stars are helping with the search?" Nightmare looks to Horror.
   "Yep. Weird story actually-" Horror gets cut off by Nightmare raising his hand for Horror to stop.
   "Not now. If you at least have Ink's phone number, then get Dream on the phone." he orders him. Horror's confused why Nightmare's in such a hurry, but it's better to just listen to him.

   "Fine, but I'd be nice if you'd explain why you were hanging out with the Stars so much later." Horror says while taking out his phone and calling the Stars.

   Ink pics up his phone from his pocket and sees that Horror is calling him.
   "Hello, which Horror are you again?" Ink asks, realizing that he forgot to specify which Horror this contact is for.
   "How many Horrors are you expecting calls from?" Dream asks unimpressed.
   "Found Nightmare." Horror says frankly.
   "What?! Seriously?!" Ink didn't expect that kind of a call coming from Horror.
   "What is it?" Dream asks Ink while holding onto Ink's arm.
   Nightmare can just barely hear Dream's voice from the other side of the call.
   "Horror found Nightmare." Ink tells him. Dream's heart nearly stops, being sleep deprived and frankly being a mess these past few days, Ink even had to be supervising Dream this whole time to make sure Dream wasn't doing anything reckless.

   "Where." Dream just about demands. Nightmare gets impatient with Horror and takes his phone.
   "Dream, we're at my castle." Nightmare says through the phone. Dream hears him that time and immediately teleports away.

   Dream's magic is drawn to Nightmare's aura, leading him to quickly find where Nightmare is in his castle and ends up teleporting right into Nightmare's meeting room.

   Nightmare and Dream stare at eachother for five seconds full of joy and long time waiting to be with eachother. The world falls to deafening silence in five seconds before the brothers hold eachother in their arms.
   They close their eyes to further enjoy each other's touch. Dream's head rests on Nightmare's shoulder facing away, as Nightmare leans down just enough to be at Dream's level and burying his face in Dream's neck.

   But never looking eachother in the eyes, in fear they would have to face the truth that they've avoided for so long. When the world is silent, and it feels like nothing else matters. It's dangerous to ever be this close and look at eachother in the eyes without completely loosing themselves.
   More than five seconds, and they both could end up doing something 'reckless'.

   Nightmare breaths in the sent from Dream's body. Pushing away the memory of the night he had with Shattered.

(Wasn't even that long ago... Time line wise)

   As much as they could spend eternity with eachother just like this. The job isn't done, and everyone is in danger until Shattered is dealt with.

   Nightmare pushes Dream away from his chest gently, and looks at him with a serious tone. Especially as he notices the rest of his team as well as the Stars enter the meeting room.

   "Shattered will be coming soon." Nightmare announces as he looks around the room. Dream latches onto Nightmare's arm, not even caring about everyone else in the room.
   Everyone's eyes on him, especially since Nightmare's team are wrapping their head around the fact that the skeleton in front of them is Nightmare.
   It's not that like he's changed that much, but the idea still seems so strange to them.

   "Any idea when he might come?" Blue gets straight to business.
   "Not exactly. But when he wakes up, he's not going to waist any time looking for me." Nightmare answers. Dream quietly listens to the meeting as he holds onto Nightmare's arm like a teddy bear.

    "So, Shattered is a version of Dream, but he's as strong as Nightmare?" Dust clarifies.
   "Yep! So most of our attacks are going to completely phase through him!" Ink says in a cheery voice.

   "Fuuck! That's so annoying!" Horror whines.
   "Look who's talking." Killer smirks.
   "Quit it! both of you." Nightmare growls at them before they start arguing.
   "Would Dream's blue arrows work?" Dust asks.
   "It's hard to tell considering that he's theoretically just as positive as he is negative." Ink explains.

   "And Shattered did something to my magic that prevents me from turning to my corrupt form. But, even if that doesn't work, I have an idea that could." Nightmare announces. Nightmare looks down at Dream with a soft expression, not wanting to stress his little brother.

   "Do you know if you can make a specific marble for me?" Nightmare asks him. Dream looks up at Nightmare and thinks.
   "I think so. What does it do?" Dream asks.
   "I'll tell you soon." Nightmare smiles softly to him. Nightmare's smile freaks out the rest of the bad guy sanses. That's not the type of expression that they're used to seeing on Nightmare.

   Nightmare discusses his plan with everyone in the meeting room. Where everyone will fight off Shattered and keep him in one place long enough for Nightmare to get close to him.
   So long as everything goes well, no one should get hurt.

   After everyone understands what their doing, Nightmare pulls Dream outside the meeting room to explain what he needs Dream to do.
   Dream follows Nightmare outside the room, being gently dragged by Nightmare's arm.

   As soon as the door closes behind them Nightmare turns around and holds Dream to his chest. Nightmare looks into Dream's eyes, watching as the golden magic shines and almost dances in his eyes, creating the faintest glow.

   Dream can't help but look into his eyes in return. Reaching his hand up and tracing his delicate finger along the scar on Nightmare's violet eye. The scar making his soft, sometimes even kind eye seem threatening, everyone sees the scar, and never the softness in his eye.
   Meanwhile his other turquoise eye is the one that the Multiverse remembers and fears.

   Dream never likes admitting that he sometimes enjoys the tough nature that Nightmare shows to the world. His self confidence in a room of people, like everyone is below his authority. The way he can make everyone fear and respect him as a king. But behind closed doors, he's soft and kind, quiet.

   Dream knows how moments like this go. They hold eachother, they get as close as possible and then they pull away.
   Dream realizes how close he is to Nightmare, just shy of being able to feel Nightmare's mouth against his, and tasting him.

   Dream trys to pull away from Nightmare, but before he got too far, Nightmare pulls him forward and smashes his mouth onto Dream's. Dream instantly kisses Nightmare back passionately, sliding his hand from Nightmare's cheek to the back of his head pulling him closer and deepening their kiss.

   Dream and Nightmare pull away and press their foreheads against eachother.
   Nightmare whispers to Dream, that makes Dream smile at his perfect words.

   "Always." Dream replies.

   Words that can never be said too loud. Words that are for Dream to know. And only Dream.
   Perfect words can never be shouted, or described.
   And never ever, can perfect words be repeated.

   Perfect words that go beyond 'I love you'.
