A Second Chance {Nightmare x Reader}

~16~

A/N: I'm not dead, it's just high school's been a lot lately. I graduated and now I've started Uni, and I did my exams and just... a lot happened. I'm starting my second year soon :D

🖤

I sigh, aware that I've been avoiding my paperwork for... a long while. And yet, as I look down at the sleeping forms of (Y/N) and the boys, I can't bring myself to regret it.

I do regret letting them play Uno though...

Regardless, they're all sleeping comfortably without any.. bad dreams. As they should. I've found that I'm not seeking out their negativity as often anymore. ...I have other sources anyway. I don't need to bother them.

...Although recently, my sources have been dwindling. No doubt Dream has been spreading his influence while I've been here. I can do that myself though. ...I could even do it now so that I feel productive even while ignoring my paperwork.

I carefully extract myself from the pile of sleeping people on the floor and stretch a bit before opening a portal and heading out to one of the AUs that Dream hasn't managed to pry from my influence completely. I figure I can just nudge it back into place. I don't need the others for something as minor as this.

Thanks to the negativity covering my body, Ink and Swap can't damage me at all, and Dream is a coward who couldn't hurt a fly.

However, as I feel pain spreading through my spine, I realize that I was wrong. This is a trap and I walked right into it.

💫

"This'll work, right?" Dream asks softly, shaking as he stares at the body of his brother. "I- it'll work, right?"

Of course, it will.

It won't. But Dream doesn't need to know that. He just needs to do what I want.

I'm not sure whether to congratulate myself for getting him to change his stubborn ways so easily, or be disappointed in him. But I suppose it doesn't matter. I will finally get what I've been wanting for so long. And soon, neither of the twins will be in my way. This is almost too easy.
