Dullahan AU one shots!

How I Met My Body: Dream

Dream had curiosities. Just a few weeks ago, he walked in on Blue putting some anti-itching cream on his neck. But... His head was on he table! This freaked the guardian out and before he could scream, Blue blurted out,

"PLEASE DONT FREAK OUT!"

Dream was mortified to say the least.

"Uh... I'm not freaking out. Are you freaking out? Nah, just fascinated by the fact that your head is off of your body, um... How long have you been like this, exactly?"

"Uh... The first Genocide Reset, actually..."

That's when the face appeared on Blue's flame.

"Yeah. We learned to get used to each other."

Dream freaked out again. There was another person!?!

"Who!?!"

"Oh, this is Magnificent. My body."

Dream was stunned. His head and body were separate people? This was fascinating.

"Again, sorry for... Walking in on you... Just... Don't tell Ink, or..."

Before he could finish, Ink appeared out of nowhere, with a notepad and pen.

"I ALREADY WANNA KNOW! I mean, not everything, just the headless part."

Ink grabbed Blue's head and twirled around.

"I can't wait! TELL ME EVERYTHING!! START FROM WHEN YOU FIRST PANIC AND DONT LEAVE OUT ANY DETAILS!" 

Ink ran to the living room, with Blue and Magnificent, leaving Dream alone.

Now:

Ink was keeping Blue and Magnificent separated for the time being, doing tests and other things to them. Then came up with a theory.

"Hey, Dream? You know, you and Nightmare's bodies were made out of Blue's dust from the first Genocide Timeline, right?"

"Ink, where are you going with this?"

"I'm saying, maybe you and Nightmare can be Dullahan's too!"

"Yeah, right. Nightmare? Having the ability to take his head off? He'd be vulnerable in that state! And besides, in case you've forgotten, Nightmare is the worst."

They heard a knock on the door, and Dream went to get it.

"And that's not just jealousy talking. I'd say that to his face."

When Dream opened the door, there was Nightmare, standing in front of him.

"I have to tell you something."

"You're the worst."

Dream slammed the door and walked back to the couch. Dream suddenly felt a migraine.

"Hey, buddy, you ok? Need a bad pun to cheer you up?"

"Ink, not now."

Blue and Magnificent both felt bad for Dream.

"Why doesn't Dream take a bit of a nap?"

Ink thought long and hard, and finally confirmed it.

"Ok, see you when you wake up, Dream!"

Dream walked up to Blue's room, but tripped over his own feet and fell. When he reached up to rub his head, he couldn't feel it. His head was on the floor, next to the closet. Dream let out a loud scream. This startled Ink, Blue, and Magnificent. And Ink ran up to check on him.

"Dream!?! I'm comin' buddy!"

When Ink got there, he was in for a shock. He saw Dream's headless body, and his head near the closet.

"Dream... You're a... DULLAHAN!!"

Ink ran over to grab his head, and twirled around, laughing.

"MY THEORY WAS RIGHT! YOU AND NIGHTMARE ARE BOTH CREATED BY BLUE'S DUST, BLUE IS A DULLAHAN! AND NOW..."

Ink was laughing like a mad man, so much so he conducted an experiment. He ran out of the room with Dreams head and left his body locked in the room.

"INK! GET MY BODY OUT OF THE ROOM!"

"Dream. It's all in the timing."

Ink walked down and showed Blue Dream's new state.

"Woah! Dream! You ok?"

"Yeah, where's your body!"

"I can still feel my body, surprisingly..."

They heard another knock on the door. Dream groaned as Ink opened it, it was still Nightmare, but this time... His head was being held by one of his tentacles, and his body had a purple flame with a face on it.

"D-Dream? You're a Dullahan, too?"

Nightmare's body started to cry, and grabbed Dream's head and hugged it tightly.

"Uh... What is happening?"

"Dream! It's me! Your brother!"

Dream knew the voice, but wanted to keep his suspicions up.

"Wh-why don't you look happy to see me? I... I know I'm supposed to be dead, but... I'm here now. We can be brothers again!"

Dream looked at the head on the tentacle.

"Can you lift me up to your head?"

The body obeyed, letting the heads talk.

"Nightmare, what is this?"

"It's the past me. He was asleep, and now that I'm a Dullahan, he's my body, and he really wanted to see you! Let him have this!"

Ink sniffed the air.

"Hey, does anyone smell something burning?"

Just then, the locked bedroom door burned open, revealing an angry headless body. The body lunges towards Ink,  strangling him.

"Ooh, I see I'm not the only one who wants to strangle him."

Dream looked at the flame on Nightmare's body and smiled.

"oh, by the way, can you call me Twilight, brother? Since... I can't be Nightmare anymore?"

Dream sniffles and starts crying happily.

"Sure, brother."

Twilight took both of the heads and hugged them tightly. Twilight had his brother back! Finally!

Blue and Magnificent were left in daze, as they tried to stop Dream from strangling Ink.
