___________________________________It was the same thing for Nightmare ( passive), get beat up; lie to his brother; stay up and stargaze; sleep; eat and drink before the torture all happens again. He wanted to end it all... but he couldn't, he just... couldn't do it. He stayed strong, just for his crush. Yes, his crush is Dream but the thing is; they aren't related in any form or way. He had to stay strong for Dream but the pain, it drove him to do something that he will regret.
It was a normal day but, the villagers got swords and other weapons to kill him. Sensing something was off, Dream rushed to the tree and left the unfinished flower crowns behind. He wanted to know what was going on, wanting to know if Nightmare was okay. He blushed a golden hue but it wasn't visible. He arrived at the tree and stopped, pure horror made its way to his face. The villagers punched, kicked, spat, threw rocks and insulted his crush. He went to the poor gaurdian, trying to see if he was okay, despite the villagers trying to get him away from Nightmare. Nightmare saw this and used the bit of strength he had to teleport Dream to his side." P-please d-don't g-go." The words broke his SOUL in half, wanting to help him." Br-brother! H-hold s-still, l-le- aah!" Nightmare cut his sentence short, shrinking the positive gaurdian and held him under his chest. He protected Dream from the blows that came, but... he had one idea to really protect Dream. He made small calculations of when the right time was to put his plan in action, wanting to get this over with. After the last kick, Nightmare stuffed Dream in his mouth without noticing. Dream screamed and cried, his cries was not heard from the loud crowd. Nightmare pretended to put Dream in his pocket and stood up, grabbing one of the apples and ate it. He felt the power surging through him, begging him for more. So that's what he did, he ate all except one golden apple. He felt powerful, corruption fully taking over his body. Dream passed out, shock and fear enveloped his poor body. Nightmare went on a killing spree, killing all the villagers. He looked up at the last golden apple, sighing before getting a jar and put it in there. He didn't want his brother to die without positivity, he had to keep this apple. He remembered Dream and immediately lifted up his shirt to see a passed out Dream. He smiled before entering a portal, going through it and got ready to recruit team members.
It has been 500 years before the war started, Dream helped his boyfriend in battle against the naive. They tried to convince him that they wanted to help him." Dream! We can help you! Just- let is help you-" Outer got cut off." No, you are too naive to notice the balance. We are only doing our part by keeping it, not even I am that naive." Shivers crawled up their spine, even his gang!
They all lived happily ever after!
The End
