Chapter Text

"Dr...Dream?" Nightmare extended a hand towards his newly tiny twin, not quite believing what he was seeing.

An even tinier voice sounded out, wavering in fear "You... you know my name?... do... do you know my brother too? Nightmare?" Uh. Whats going on? What the hell was he meant to say to this tiny skeleton? Why was this Dream here? Where did his prisoner go? Did that stupid scien-

"Your... brother..." he mumbled out.

"Yes! Yes he's my brother! Do you know where he is? Can you help me find him?" Dream- no not Dream- this hallucination chirruped with a tiny smile but a large flood of excitement and enthusiasm. Nightmare had nothing to say. Nothing. This Dream wasn't real, right? Of course it was a possibility the potion did this but Sci wasn't that careless was he? Then again, emotions were pouring out of- well Dream. He never caught emotions from his hallucinations. This was real.

"Nightmare is gone." He sighed out dryly, not really able to think of a better way of putting it. Why he couldn't tell Dream about the apple incident and that everything was all his fault was beyond him. His soul just wouldn't let him. He watched the hope drain from Dream's wide golden eyelights before he pulled up a tiny gloved hand and rubbed them, trying not to cry.

"Yo-your lying! I'm- I'm finding Nighty myself!" He bolted, screaming Nightmares name, looking for his twin, who was stood right in front of him. Nightmare caught him round the ribs with a tentacle, wrapping it around Dream's mouth, still a little shocked at touching his little twin, confirming he was in fact real. Nightmare heard footsteps coming toward him. Shit.

"Nigh-"

"Princess! What are you doing not with Horror?"

"I heard- WHAT THE F- heck, heck. Whos that? Why are you harbouring a four year old? Did I have a child and not know or something?" he laughed a little at your joke. How the hell could you still make him laugh at a time like this.

"Y/n, this is Dream. I found him passed out alone under a felled tree. A bunch of villagers had cut it down for the magical apples it grew and took a purple skeleton called Nightmare with them." Dream's muffled wails sounded louder after he heard the story. "I'm going to see if I can help him by going to meet Sci. You take this." He passed the screaming child over to you and left. Great. He still withheld information. You put Dream down on the floor, him wailing the words "Nighty!" Pretty much constantly. You crouch down to his height and decide to talk to him, trying to stop his blubbering through distraction.

"Hey Dream! My names Y/n, I'm grumpypants over there's wife! Do you want to be my friend?" You hold a hand out to the child in a comforting way. He sniffles and withdraws a little, at least not screaming anymore.

"Y-Yeah..." Dream had to be brave in this dark place! He also had to be nice, and a friend wouldn't be bad here. He took your hand and gripped it tightly, clearly still scared.

"Yay! I love friends! Do you like chocolate? I made some cookies and all my friends get cookies!" Maybe bribery with sweets would work? It works with Killer.

"Wh-Whats that?" He sniffles, curiosity in his voice.

"It's really yummy! It's like a brown sort of sweet made of milk. C'mere, I'll take you to go get some!" You spread your arms wide, inviting the young skeleton into your arms. He quickly take the invitation, judging you're much nicer than that mean skeleton. You pick him up with a grunt and he grips your clothes tightly, burying his face into them. You promptly walk out of the dungeons, up the stairs and into the corridor.
