Nightmare and his baby gang

Chapter 13

"What were you thinking?! How could you possibly think that attacking a child was a good idea Ink!?" Dream screamed at his friend who couldn't care less since he was drawing a new AU and couldn't focus on two things at the same time.

"I finish it!" Ink exclaimed, raising his notebook. "Sorry, what did you say? I didn't listen"

Blue sighed as he looked at his lovers' little fight, or more likely Dream screaming at Ink for well, being Ink. Honestly, he was mad too, Ink attacked a child, a little child! He knew the creator was now sorry and only acted with the adrenaline of the fight but still.

"Noooooo! Dreamy, please! Give them back!"

When he saw Dream taking all of Ink's notebooks, Blue decided it was time for him to intervene. If he let them fight for some notebooks they will never speak about what happened today, and it was something they needed to do before taking any decision about Nightmare.

"Alright alright, I think we got enough fight for today, don't you think?"

Reluctantly Dream gave Ink's notebooks back and sited next to Blue so they could talk about what happened. Ink drank a bit of yellow and green and sited with his boyfriends all happy and smiling he got his notebooks back.

"Okay so does anyone know why Cross was a little kid?" Blue asked looking intensely at Ink as if the creator knew something.

"Why are you looking at me? It's not me this time!" Ink exclaimed looking at his scarf to see if it has anything about Cross turning into a kid.

"Are you sure? It wouldn't be the first time you forgot about something." Dream hesitantly suggested as he saw Ink looking in his scarf for answers.

"Nop! Not me! There is nothing in there" The creator exclaimed happily showing his scarf full of writing and doodling.

Blue sighed a little more at ease, he would have felt really bad if it was one of Ink's doing. He kissed his little artist on the top of the skull and started hugging him.

"Sorry Ink but seeing how unpredictable you can be, I needed to ask."

"That's okay! I should have thought about it first! It's a really good idea!"

"What...?" Dream and Blue barely said, too shocked to say anything else.

The two Star Sanses were looking at their lover dumbfounded. How in the world could it be a good idea? Now Cross was a kid and stuck in Nightmare's hideout, there was no way it could be good. Poor little kid was probably used to some negativity source or locked in the dungeon.
Ink seemed to notice their worries so he quickly sketched a little drawing representing them with little versions of the Bad Sanses, all the little characters looked happy and smiling. Dream and Blue looked at him unsure of what to say.

"If we can get them home we could free them from Nightmare's dark magic and teach them how to be good people!"

Dream tensed when his boyfriend said that. Every time he thought about his brother manipulating people and causing misfortune, the little guardian remembered that it was his fault Nightmare was trapped behind the negativity. Blue gave him a comforting smile while Ink, who noticed his sad face, was on his shoulders hugging him.

"Don't worry Dreamy! We'll get your brother back one day! I promised it to you after all!" Ink exclaimed huddling his head against the guardian's neck.

Even if it was fake, Ink's positive emotions made Dream feel a little better. With them, he could do anything and one day he will free Nighty from the darkness's influence. He just had to wait for the good moment and everything will be back to normal as it was before.
