     "Good morning...Bro..." Dream said groggily.
     "Good morning...Did you sleep at all?" Dream shrugged, missing the bowl when he went to pour in some milk. Nightmare stood up, scooped Dream, and laid him on couch, setting a pillow under his head.
     "I'm fine, Nighty..!" Nightmare scowled.
     "Don't." Dream frowned, huffing at Nightmares stubbornness.
     "I'm gonna go visit, Ink-" He was pushed back onto the couch in a laying position.
     "No. You're gonna sleep-"
     "It's not your business what I do! You left me for five hundred years, why do you get to control my life?!"
      "Because I've lived long enough to know when someone is lying, or needs to sleep, Dream." The other rolled his eyes.
      "We only had a truce not two weeks ago. We're not even blood related."
     "Regardless, you're still my brother! You're still a guardian, and I have to watch out for you dumbass to make for all that time Nim neglected us!"
     "SHUT UP!"

Nightmare stepped back.
     "I'm tired of you, Dammit!"  
     ". . .Y'know what, leave if you want.." Dream turned and left, to hang up with Ink or Swap most likely. Nightmare walked up to his office, lighting a cigarette and thinking about what had happened. 'Dream hasn't been sleeping lately...He can't keep this up, guardian or not...' He set the burnt out cigarette on his ash tray, walked out the door. 'It's been weeks now...I don't know how much more he can-' BEEP, BEEP. 'The alarm? Someone entered I guess...Lucky for that dumb shit, it's disarmed.' He began his decent down the stairs, keeping quiet.
     "Alright, who e- . . ." A horrified expression lay plastered on Nightmares face, his pupil size decreasing quite a bit.

     "DREAM!" He ran over. I guess Dream could only take two-three weeks of not sleeping. Nightmare picked up Dream and carried him to his room, tucking him in and sitting nervously waiting for his brother to awaken from his much needed slumber. As two days passed, Nightmare became more worried for him, what if he died? What would Nightmare do? Would he be able to continue life? Or would he cut it short?
     "Ngh......Brother..?" Nightmare shot up.
     "Dream! Are you okay?"
     "Heh...you're worried about me! I'm okay...Just a lil sleepy..." He murmured, dozing off. Nightmare let out a sigh of relief, deciding to get Dream some water. "I haven't slept for too long, have I?"

The older fo the twins twiddled their thumbs.
      "Two days. That's how long you were out...if I may ask, why wouldn't you sleep..? Since we have these..Ugh..human forms, I can't sense your aura..." Dream paused.
     "Guilt...I felt so horrible for not helping you...you had a gruesome transformation, and it pains me that I could've helped...but I didn't..." Tears weld up in his eyes as he let a pained laugh escape him. "Some brother, huh?"
