Caged (Nightmare X OC)

Peace

"Within this treaty between the Guardian of Positivity, Dream, and the King of Negativity, Nightmare, peace shall be enforced. The King will no longer, harm or kill anyone from another AU or spread unnecessary negative emotion to those who shouldn't need it. The Guardian will no longer hunt or harm Nightmare and his followers or spread any unnecessary positive emotion to those who shouldn't need it. The balance shall be protected by these two brothers, peace restored to the Multiverse once and for all. Likewise if a new threat is to rise, Nightmare and Dream, along with Ink and Error will rise together to defend it." Sidney concluded the reading of the peace treaty that the brothers had finally finished five minutes prior. A murmur rose once more in the crowd as Nightmare smiled at her, proud. Nightmare wasn't the only one. Dream was in tears with Blue trying to comfort the guy and Ink looking on in confusion. "i have to work with error? don't get me wrong, we made peace, but we certainly don't like each other."
"As the Creator, it's your duty. As it is Error's as the Destroyer. You both keep that balance, you both have to protect it." She emphasized. "ok, ok yeesh.."

Classic had let Sidney and Nightmare go after that, but not without the guard, a guy by the name of Mafia. This, she could tell, was his first time in Nightmare's castle. "It's good to be home." She sighed. "it is. you can do as you please, mafia sans. this place was created purely out of my magic. everything can be replaced." Nightmare told their guest. "oh- i should drop the barrier around my castle." Nightmare recalled, snapping his phalanges. "The one that keeps everyone but you, Error, and whoever is traveling with either of you?" Nightmare nodded. "that very one. i have nothing to hide. all prisoners i had here were moved to the omega timeline. dream can visit when he wants, the boys can visit when they want, people can-"
"Don't you dare finish that." Sidney pointed a finger down at him. "i'm just saying. many may want revenge after-" She covered his mouth to make him stop talking about it. "Over. My. Dead. Body." She wasn't going to let that happen so easily. If anyone knew better, they'd know that there WAS people who loved the King. If they took him away, they were no better.

Sidney was going to make dinner, but Horror seemed to have beat her to it. "Boys... you're here.. Nightmare's gonna be so excited!" Dust chuckled. "where is the boss, m'lady?"
"Mafia is watching him like a hawk. I was just coming to cook, but seems I'll be tasting Horror's amazing cooking. Nightmare has told me a lot about your culinary skill!" She praised. Horror blinked. "really..?" She nodded. "Where is everyone else anyway?"
"error and killer are in the living room with the humans. i'm supposed to be horror's 'help' but, he don't like help." Dust replied. "Will you guys be staying?" They both looked at her with serious expressions. "nightmare may have not been the best guy, but this was the only place that felt like home."
"we wanna share it with the people we care about. most of us really don't have a place to go back to. and horror's au eats people to survive." They made very good points. "Well then. Welcome back home, gentlemen. I'll go collect everyone. Don't forget Mafia is here too." Horror nodded as he dished the plates and Sidney left.

Nightmare was very happy indeed to have the boys back. Mafia... wasn't. He was uneasy now that the gang was back together. Plus their numbers increased with all the humans. Nightmare and the boys talked about old times, telling their lovers about the good times had at this place. Sidney smiled. This was Nightmare's element. He was not tense and nervous like before. He was loose and relaxed. She loved that. The only one that really looked out of place was Mafia. "You got any stories you'd like to share with the class?" Sidney offered. Mafia froze, being put on the spot like that. "i... guess i gotta few.."
"Well go on man, we're all curious!" Taylor encouraged. "well there was this time i..." Success.
