TW: Swearing, Attempted Murder, Violence, Mental Disorders
NIGHTMARE'S POV

I had broken into the JR Castle again, and after being here for 15 minutes, I noticed Dream was nowhere to be seen. Wandering the halls cautiously and avoiding guards, I went to his office, which was also empty.

The door was already open, so I only had to push it a little to get into his office. I found it weird he would leave it open, especially with such a low amount of people guarding it, but whatever.

I immediately started going through his things. I then realized how boring all his things are, so I just knocked shit off his desk and de-organized his folders in the cabinets against the wall.

After a good five minutes of this, I stood back and put my hands on my hips, proud of my chaotic mess. And then I heard the footsteps.

I quickly went and ducked under the desk as I saw Dream walking in. Shit. I probably should have thought about this more, like, how I was going to leave. Dream just sighed at the sight, clearly unfazed, leaving me very confused. Does someone else do this regularly?

Then he paused. I realized that he can sense my aura...I'm so fucked. I glance to the window behind the desk. If I moved quickly, I could jump, since it was also left open.

The problem being how high this room is...I would probably die jumping. I can't exactly fly like the bird-man can.

As I was weighing my options, I didn't realize how close he got- until we were face-to-face.

...fuck.
DREAM'S POV

I stared at Nightmare, he was hiding beneath the desk.

He looks terrified. He should be. I'm gonna kill him for this mess. And, well, causing all the negativity in the multiverse. "Did you do this?" I ask, not-so-softly.

"Well yeah but-" he quickly and nervously responds. He clearly wasn't expecting me to be back so soon.

I grab him and pick him up by the collar, pulling him out from beneath the desk. "I cannot believe you...your life on the line and you still pull a stunt like this? You're insane if you think I'll spare you."

"Oh but you see the only problem with that is-" He KICKS ME in my gut, (first of all, OW, how dare he) causing me to drop him and let him go. I quickly grab him again before he can run out the door.

NIGHTMARE'S POV

"I swear, Nightmare, I hate you so much." I heard Dream say after he grabbed me again, despite my attempt to escape.

"Aw, I love you too," I say sarcastically. Dream looks at me weird, and then remembers sarcasm exists.

Am I being sarcastic? I hardly know anymore. Back when we were younger, I used to have a crush on him...but now that we're here, I shouldn't anymore, right? After he's been trying to kill me for, what, 100 years?

Okay, MAYBE I still think he's attractive, but I'm obviously not interested in a relationship with him, considering he wants to kill me.

After that train of thought, I realized what I have in my pockets with me. Earlier I was searching through my old stuff and I started reading through my diary again to remember old times. I remember writing about Dream in there- if he gets that out of my pockets, I swear, I don't know what I'll do.

"What's this?" I hear him say, snapping out of my own thoughts and I look down, realizing the book had fallen out of my pockets. I jinxed myself.

"NO, DON'T READ THAT." Immediately after saying it I regret it- I sounded way too desperate. Fuck fuck fuck. I watch as he picks it up, leaving me suspended in the air with his positivity magic, and flips through.

"DREAM NO PLEASE THAT'S MINE- AND IT'S WAY BACK FROM-" I can only watch as he pauses, blushes, and stares, frozen on one page. "...You can have that back..." he whispers, his face lit up with golden blush. We may be human, but our magic courses through our veins, which is why when I began to blush responding to this it was purple. Our magic matched together, whether Dream thought negativity was an awful thing or not.

"U-uh...thanks?" I say, surprised by his sudden change in tone. I thought he would be angry if anything, but he's just...flustered.

"What you wrote back then...is it still true?" He asks softly, surprising me with how calm and soothing his voice could be. I was always used to him yelling or threatening me.

"Well...I-" I can't figure out how to respond and help my case. I don't want to lie to him, but I don't want to tell him I feel something, obviously. He blinks slowly and lifts the magic suspending me in the air, holding me so I don't fall on the ground, and then putting me down.

"You can go...for now...be safe." I was surprised by him letting me go. Does he like me back? Maybe he's been holding it down, trying to get rid of it all this time, which is why he acts so aggressively towards me even when he's not trying to kill me. Since he believes he has to get rid of me.

"Next time you won't be so lucky." He says and turns away. But I know I'll be just fine. I actually look forward to speaking to him again.
"Haha, I know. See you later, Dreamy." I say before turning away, leaving his office, and escaping the castle.

The moment I got home, Cross and Error swarmed me. "Where in the world have you been?!" Error asks in a panic. "Just taking a walk," I respond, like a liar. "And I think I met someone very..very...interesting."

ENDING

That's the end for now, folks! I hope you enjoyed my awful writing. As you can tell from the amount of words (1040), I really enjoyed writing this. Let me know if you want a part two and give me requests for other Dreamswap ships!
