My Best Nightmare?

Hard Times

Dream collapsed onto the floor, still crying...and just...still...
"He...what...I?.."
"Mom?"
Dream didn't even respond to Palette when he entered the room, just remaining still as he was even when the child walked up to him...
"Mom? Where did unca Blue go? What's this room- are you having another-"
"No-...No Palette no..."
"Oh...ok..."
"Blue's gone...I'm sorry baby... I-I'm so sorry..."
Collapsing onto the floor more, Dream began to uncontrollably ball, not being able to stop even as Palette began to freak out.
"Mom!? Mom what's wrong-?"
"I'm sorry- I-I-"
"Mom it's ok, mom? Mom!?"
"Palette?- What's wrong, why are you yelling for Mom!?"
Hearing the panicked voice of his husband, Dream slightly got himself together as the door swung open- When Ink saw the room they were in though he froze...
"Dream? What is this? What did I you do?.."
"I-I...I..."
The look Ink had was one of unthought fear, and scary thoughts of the imagination...of what could have happened...and probably did...
"Dream...don't tell me you actually took that baby..."
"Baby? What baby? Dad-?"
"Palette, sweetie...go to your room..."
"But-"
"Please Palette...please..."
Though clearly reluctant Palette still got up and walked to his room, after giving his Dad a hug. Once he was gone, Ink turned his attention back to Dream and sighed.
"Tell me what happened..."
"Ink-"
"Tell me what happened, Dream-"
"She deserved better... We could've-"
"No we couldn't have-"
"Ink we could've! We could have!"
"Dream!"
Dream stopped his frantic blabber after hearing Ink scream at him. Ink felt himself shaking angrily, so he took a few breaths and tried to calm down...which was rather hard considering everything. But some how Ink managed to, as he sat down next to Dream.
"Since there isn't a blood bath...I'm assuming you didn't fight to keep her-"
"I-I well-"
"Dream..."
"...No...no I didn't..."
"Why? I know you, you would've..."
"But I didn't... Because he- Nightmare...I saw him again..."
"What do you mean him again-?"
"Ink I saw him... Like I had wished to see him for so long..."
It took a few moments before Ink realized what that meant, and once he had he didn't know how to respond...
"Heh what? Speechless? Don't know what to say about that? Well I didn't either- and by the time I thought of something it was to late...they were gone..."
"But...but how?"
"You think I know?.. I don't... I wanna know though, very badly..."
"Don't do anything-"
"I won't- I won't...not again...not now..."
"For fuck sakes Dream!- You aren't going to do anything anytime!"
"Mrrg- But Ink-"
"But nothing!- Dream you have to hear yourself...understand why you can't actually think about doing this..."
With another whimper, Dream looked away from Ink...feeling ashamed about the thoughts he was having...knowing they were wrong but not being able to help but have them.
"I...I do...Ink I do- But I c-can't help it- Ink you have to understand why I can't!"
"I never said I didn't Dream...I just thought you'd be able to help yourself, and resist doing that, maybe even think about it first..."
"It's hard to with Nightmare-"
"Then don't think about it with Nightmare, think about it with Blue... You know him, he isn't stupid...do you honestly think that all this worry you have would've not rubbed off on him?"
"Ink..."
"You know it to...you do..."
With a sniffly sigh, Dream looked away from Ink...
"I do Ink, really...
... But you know I can't stop myself...I can't..."
...Blue was relaxing, still rather panicked after getting his now sleeping baby back... He couldn't even part with her to put her down in her crib, he was to concerned- to worried, thinking he could lose her again some how... Nightmare was busy getting him something to eat, since Blue was to worried to get up and get something for himself... This was slightly worrisome, Nightmare knowing how Blue can be...but also how he can sometimes calm down, but then agian they had never been through anything like this so Nightmare was unsure...which made him feel even worse...
Killer was in the kitchen with Nightmare, helping his still slightly traumatized Boss make something.
"Eh boss you know I can do this if you're-"
"It's fine...besides Blue likes...likes-"
"When you make him cookies-"
"Uh yeah- yeah that..."
Concerned, Killer stopped what he was doing to attempt and adress Nightmare again.
"Boss really, I think I can find a way to uh...make cookies..."
"When you say it like that I feel like jumping off a cliff... But no, I can do it regardless..."
"A-Anyways then, do you want me to do something else?~"
"...You say that like you've already thought of a 'something' else. So what would that be?"
"If you want, I could always go pay your dear brother a visit~ If you still don't think you've gotten your point across~"
"You dare assume that I of all people couldn't get a point across?"
"You know what I mean boss... How stubborn he can be even if you have made yourself more then clear... I can go cemment that point, only if you let me..."
Nightmare was going to say no, but that's when he stopped, and actually considered it... Even though Blue wouldn't be happy about it, Nightmare felt himself warming up to the idea.
"If you do, don't kill him...or hurt him... Blue would kill me if he found out you're going to do this, and would find something worse to do if you did kill him..."
"He won't, I'm not going to kill him... Just make sure he got the message~ And doesn't scare our kids again..."
"Hows Cross doing with that?"
"Not as bad as Blue, but bad... But that's why I was eager to do this...and asked if I could... I don't know if I would've been able to help myself if you said no..."
"I understand that, so don't betray my trust... I don't imagine that you will, but if you do I will find out..."
"I know boss, I know"
"Good now go on, since you were so eager to-"
"Yes boss"
Nightmare watched as Killer threw on his jacket and left...wondering if the choice he just made was the right one...
