(When I say Chara in this one-shot, I mean Cross!Chara, who is a female to me, 'kay?)
Dream looked over at Chara, chewing on his bottom lip as he thought about what she had said. She was trying to set him up with a guy from school, something Dream wasn't so sure of. Dream kinda wanted to say yes, but there was something holding him back, or should I say someone. There was a huge part of him that was hoping someone else would ask him out, but that wasn’t happening anytime soon. You see, Dream had this massive crush on Chara's brother, which she doesn’t know about. And something that’d he'd never tell her about because one, it was her brother and two, well, there really wasn’t a two. Still though, he was her brother and she’d probably freak out if she knew her best friend was crushing on her brother.
Dream took a deep breath before giving her an answer. “I don’t know, Chara. This doesn’t seem like a good idea."
"It’s a great idea, Dream. He really likes you. I can tell,” She told him, trying to convince him to agree.
“He’s a nice guy, but he’s not my type,” Dream lied. He didn’t really have a type but like I said, he was still holding onto hope of him and Cross.
“Oh my god, you like someone!” Chara fangirled.
Dream felt the color drain from his face. Think a little more and she was sure to find out who he liked. “What? No, I don’t like anyone, I just want to focus more on my schoolwork and dating is a distraction."
"That is such a lie. C'mon, what’s his name?” She asked, grinning widely.
“How are you sure it’s a he?” Dream retorted only for her to give him one of her looks. “Okay it’s a he."
"Yeah, so what’s his name?” She asked.
Dream came up with a totally random name. If he gave her one it’d settle her curiosity for awhile. Until she started asking a thousand questions, so she could figure out a way to get you two together. But before you could speak another voice was heard. “What’s whose name?” He asked, making you turn your head to look at him as he passed by.
“None of your business, Cross.” Chara said, rolling her eyes at her brother’s presence.
“I wasn’t asking you. I was asking Dream.” He replied. “So what’s his name?"
Dream swallowed thickly, trying to find a way out of this situation, but thankfully Chara came to his aid. "You don’t have to answer that, Dream. Cross is just being an ass. Now go away, Cross."
Cross rolled his eyes at his bossy sister before going into the kitchen, keeping a close ear on the conversation. Chara waited until he was a good distance away before turning back to Dream. She was determined to get a name out of him and then she’d get the two together and be the best matchmaker there is. Dream, on the other hand, was trying to find some way to get out of this situation. His only ideas were, tell her he liked her brother or go out with the guy she was trying to set you up with. Yeah, he liked option two better.
"You know what? You’re right. A date wouldn’t be so bad,” Dream told her, hoping to direct her attention to planning this date.
Cross perked up at the word date, giving his full attention to Dream's conversation with his sister. Who the hell was Dream going on a date with? He didn’t like it, nope, not one bit. He saw his sister start squealing before running off to plan everything and tell him Dream had agreed to a date. When he saw that his sister was out of the room, he replaced her spot on the couch. Dream sighed and turned back around, giving a quiet yelp when he saw Cross in front of him.
