Personal problems

Hello, yes. I'm back lmao

Also, good news: I am gonna do a new book, it is a Driller book with a lot of random oneshots/drabbles/art/headcanons showing different Multiverses (Swap, NaJ, Empireverse, etc). Probably I'll publish it when I get the final chapters of this story and/or advance til chapter 7 or 8 from Lovesick.

That's all for the author's note. Let's get into the chapter :D
========================

|| Restaurant Lucy Wings Dark ||

After a couple of months later, Blue and Dream finally can go to other places without getting followed by a certain group, thanks to Nightmare telling them to stop stalking them. Is not like Dream actually cared though.

Our friendly duo went to a restaurant to eat something that Dream never tasted before: Sushi. When they received the plate, the smaller skeleton said it was a weird form to present the rice with extras, Blue stared at him with a few sweat drops going down his skull.

- It is not a presentation form, is a recipe. It has a special rice and some sea creatures.‐ he explained. Dream continued staring at the food until he nodded.

- Do we eat it with our hands? They took the knife and fork.-

- You... don't eat sushi... With a knife or fork.- the blue scarfed skeleton grabbed some sticks - You use this.- he showed the sticks. Dream looked for the mentioned items, he grabbed them and stabbed the sushi with it, causing more sweat to drop from Blue's skull and to people stare at the golden crowned like some weirdo.

The golden eyed ate it anyways, not caring about the stares. He was going to grab another one, but the blue eyed stopped him by grabbing his hand gently, he made him grab correctly the sticks and then showed him how to grab the sushi with them. Dream failed four times to grab it before he gave up and stabbed the sushi again (me when eating sushi).

After they finished the (awkward) dinner, they asked for a tiramisu as a dessert but to take home, Blue thought that Dream suffered enough humilliation of not knowing how to eat sushi (is not like Dream cared but Blue did).

Later in the day, they visited the supermarket under Blue's request. He planned to cook the food that doesn't have common items to eat (food that doesn't need a knife, fork or spoon) and teach Dream how to eat it, besides teaching him the items' name and how the stuff on his kitchen works.

They went to a small cafeteria to grab something sweet, then visited some libraries to buy books for Dream and make him learn new stuff. The smaller golden crowned remembered his time in Dreamtale where his brother would read him and help him read, but thanks to his lack of practice, it is a plain luck of him being able to read phone numbers and a couple of names written. After more than 500 years of not doing it.

At the end of the day, they had almost their hands full of books and food. Dream opened a portal to his home on Safety, getting followed by his blueish friend.

The house turned from almost empty to almost full in seconds. They left the books on the living room and the food on the kitchen; both ate the dessert which was tiramisu and later started organizing the food.

A couple of minutes later, Dream looked at the window, staring at it like trying to catch someone sneaking on it. He walked towards it and opened it - The katanas are better.- he said.
