~|~

"Happy birthday Nightmare, I love you." Nightmare smiles pulling his brother closer.
"I love you too Dream, Happy birthday."

Dream watches the stars above them, twinkling far away. Providing a small amount of light. The apple tree covers his view of some of the stars but he didn't complain.

"You won't leave me right?" Dream asked without warning. He didn't want to tell his brother but he felt as if something bad was going to happen soon. This was their calm before the storm, but he couldn't explain it.

"Stars Dream, why would you ever think of such a thing.. of course I won't."

"Can you promise me?" Dream asks tears filling his sockets that go unnoticed by Nightmare.
~~~
"I promise Dream." Nightmare says looking at the tree stump in his abandoned au.

Today was their birthday and they were spending it away from each other again. Nightmare was sure Dream could feel it, the ache of being away from each other. They were always supposed to stay to guard the tree never being that far apart from each other.

Nightmare felt guilt, which is why he returned for today at least.

Coming to his old AU always brought up other feelings as well, like anger towards their mother, towards the villagers, and towards himself.

He never admitted it to anyone not even his team but he didn't want to fight his brother anymore, he wanted to wrap his arms around him and apologize for everything he's done. But admittedly he was afraid of what would happen if he did, would Dream even want to stop fighting? Does Dream hate him like he hates himself?

He brushes his hand against the stump but something startles him, he quickly takes his hand off the tree and turns around quickly. He was shocked to see who stood before him, his defense went down.

"Hello, Brother." Dream stood a few feet away from him, his positivity wasn't as strong and he seemed almost sad.

"Hi, Nightmare." It was quiet between the two and somewhat awkward, it made Nightmare feel even worse. It was all his fault.

"I'll leave." Nightmare said after a moment, he turned around and made a portal.

He was about to go through when there was a hand on his shoulder, knowing whose it was he almost cried.

"Wait Nightmare.." Hesitantly he closes the portal and turns towards Dream.

"Yes?" He was always good at hiding his emotions, even as a child.

"Why..." He starts, seemingly testing out the water.
"Why are you here?"
"I always come here." He quietly admits.

"You do?" Dream asks in a hopeful manner.
"Yes, only on special occasions."

"Well... you don't have to leave. If you want I can go." Dream suggests. Nightmare thinks for a moment, debating his options.

"You can stay. I am going to stay too." He says before sitting down against the stump much like how they used to.

Dream stood standing for a second before sitting down right next to him. After a few moments of silence, Nightmare heard a sniffle. Dream wasn't like him, he didn't know how to hide his emotions.

"Are you alright?" He asks without turning towards him.

"Sorry." He whimpered.
"Don't apologize."

"I just..thought you..hated me, hated mom, our childhood." Nightmare felt his words pierce his soul and the tears he'd been holding onto spilled.

"..I could never hate you." He says quietly his voice too was broken.

Dream shifts and Nightmare turns to see only to find Dream sitting on his knees facing him. Dream had golden tears running down his face, despite the corruption Nightmare's tears were purple.

"why? Why try to hurt me? Kill positivity?" Dream asks his voice breaking more each second. Nightmare swallows the lump in his throat and looks away from Dream.

"The world must be balanced. An equal amount of positivity and negativity, I have to bring about negativity. However, it is never us that attacks first."

"Ink.." Dream quietly mumbles, and Nightmare nods with a hum.

"So you've..been doing your job and we've been.. oh, stars.. I'm so sorry.." Dream covers his mouth and his chest shakes as he starts to cry.

Nightmare hesitated but before his body told him he shouldn't he went for it. Nightmare pulls Dream into a hug.

"Do not be sorry. It is my fault. All of this..is my fault." Dream wraps his arms around his brother not caring about covering up his sobs anymore.

They both hold each other and cry, finally freeing 500 years worth of pain.

They had a lot of work to do.
