Light and Dark

One day...

Four days later~

"Come one Bluey keep trying!" Dust yelled, laughing as she missed again and again.

"Would you stop being such a dick!" She panted back.

"Nope!" He laughed. "Come on this is your fifth session and you still can't hit me!" She scratched his arm with a bone and he stopped. "Wow, you actually-" He was thrown onto his back as Blue leapt at him with a blue bone. She panted and smiled in victory as she held the bone to his throat. Dust grinned. "Got me now have you?" He rested his head on his arms. "I'm comfortable, how about you?" Blue looked down. She was practically sitting on his lap, her hand lightly holding down his shoulder, the other holding the bone. She moved the bone away from his throat and frowned at him.

"Why are you such a teasing asshole?" She asked. He raised an eyebrow.

"Haven't heard that one before. But I notice you haven't moved." She smirked.

"Maybe I want to be a teasing asshole for once."

"Oh? And how are you gonna do tha-?" She kissed him. It was only brief, but it was enough to make him freeze from shock. She giggled and ran off, leaving him to sit up and stare blankly after her.

Killer adjusted Dream's bow again and she shot, making a bullseye. He'd been colder since Error had come. Keeping his distance and only calling her Dream hesitantly.

"Keep your hands steady when you shoot," He ordered impassively. Dream fought back tears as she shot, her hands shaking so much she missed.

"Why does this hurt so much?"  She wondered. "I don't know him that well." She lowered the bow. "But I wish I did..."

"Dream!" Killer appeared behind her and she started.

"W-What?" She asked, turning around. He frowned.

"You're crying," He said. She touched her face.

"O-Oh, I didn't notice." She put her bow and arrow away. "I-I think that's enough shooting for tonight. We have to get moving again tomorrow." She walked away and climbed into her sleeping bag, still holding back tears.

Blue appeared into the clearing they were camping in, giggling, and ran into Ink, who was looking worriedly at Dream.

"What's going on Ink?" Blue asked.

"Dream's falling into the trap again," Ink answered.

"With Killer?" Ink nodded. Blue frowned. "Surely she won't fall for that again."

"We'll leave it for now but we'll have to watch her." Blue nodded. Ink looked at her.

"What about you? What had you giggling just now?" She asked. Blue giggled again.

"I kissed Dust." Ink's mouth fell open.

"You did what?"

"I wanted to see what he'd do!"

"And what did he do?"

"Freeze up." Ink giggled with Blue.

"Oh, I know the expression you're talking about!" Blue looked at her slyly.

"Why? Because you've kissed Error before?" Ink froze. "Oh my god, I'm right aren't I?!"

"No," Ink mumbled. Blue laughed.

"Hey Inky." Error walked over to them. "What happened to the Queen?" He looked back, an amused smile on his face. "And Dust for that matter." Ink took a deep breath and pulled him into the forest, leaving a smirking Blue behind. "What are you doing?" She stopped and turned him around to face her.
