Dream had left his brother to deal with his own pain since Nightmare wanted to be alone. He had teleported to the roof of the Star Sanses' house and sat down, gazing out at the dawn sun. So carefully and slowly, it rose above the horizon of Epictale in the distance. Dream wondered if anyone knew how delicate and innocent his brother was. For once, Nightmare had apologized for everything he had done before Dream left. He needed to know he was loved more. But there was nothing Dream could do... His brother was completely evil now. Dream jumped as a teleporting noise sounded behind him. He turned around, taking out his wand and pointed it at the being. "Who goes there?" he asked.

Cross stared down at Dream sadly, sighing. "Hey, it's just me," he answered. "C-Cross?" Dream said, dropping his wand. "You're alive! I thought... Error killed you!" His voice was so soft and innocent, he wondered if he was falling for him. Cross just stared into his yellow and green eyes. Dream suddenly broke Cross' daydreaming and hugged him tighter than Cross thought he could hug anyone. "You're alive!" He shouted again. "Yeah..." Cross said in a low tone. "I am..." Dream held onto him for a long time, and Cross couldn't help but think that it was quite cute. Blah, Cross Chara said to him. Cross wanted to tell him to shut up, but he couldn't right now, it would be too embarrassing in front of Dream. He realized he hadn't hugged him back. He wrapped his arms around Dream and found himself rubbing his back. What was he doing? Dream was his enemy! He couldn't like him! Cross reached for Dream's soul but found nothing. Where was it? He had no soul?! "Cross... I'm sorry your AU got destroyed," Dream said out of nowhere. That did it. Cross was somehow loyal to Dream now. Serving royalty again. "At least I have you still..." Cross said, letting go of Dream and closing his eyes. "Me...?" Dream asked. "Sure..." He closed his eyes too, and Cross held his breath as they got closer. "DREAM! HELP!" Ink suddenly shouted from the front porch, breaking the moment. "PLEASE!" "Coming!" Dream shouted. "Sorry, Cross," he said, and just like that, he was gone. Cross stood and stared at the roof silently. Ooo, so close, Crossy! Cross Chara laughed. "I hate you."
