This is when the crisis starts

|| Dream's Temporal Home ||

- So, why this house is filled with hundreds of books?- Nightmare asked staring at the piles of the mentioned items - My brother isn't the re- ...- he sighed sadly - He wasn't the reading type.- he hugged himself - I seem to forgot that my cheerful little brother is no longer here...- he mumbled, receiving a pity look from Blue.

The blue scarfed put a hand on the goopy skeleton's shoulder, doing a small comforting squeeze - Don't worry, Night.- he smiled tenderly - Dream will always love you, no matter if he behaves like a small child with a happy smile or as an emotionless person.-

- That's the problem, Blue. Was he really happy? Those smiles that he always gave me... Were they real? Or were they forced like mines? At this point I don't know... I don't even know if I am going to ever see his smile again.- Blue hugged the taller skeleton, noticing that he started to change from his corrupted form to his normal form, his eyesockets had purple tears going down - I miss his old self, the one that made everything shine, the one that made my day way better just by being there... The one I always thought I was protecting when I was bullied...- he sobbed - They destroyed him... They stomped on him and shattered every single piece of his soul, they killed his former self...- Blue made the hug more intense.

- Night, Night. Remember, he is still here, even if he doesn't show it; he is your brother and he will always love you.- he sighed sadly - You couldn't have known what happened to him, I didn't even know about it until Dream told me.- he broke the hug and stared at the king's purple pupils, grabbing gently his face - Believe me, Dream adores and loves you more than anything else.- Nightmare smiled slightly, his eyesockets still showing a couple of tears.

The purple eyed cleaned his tears with his sleeve, sighing, then he looked back at the books - ... You still didn't answered me what's with the books.- he mumbled.

Blue giggled softly, then he remembered what would cause if he tells him and started to get a little worried - Emm... We-well... Is a l-little c-complicated to expl-

- Is for my brother, isn't it?- Blue looked more nervous but finally nodded - ... What are you teaching him?- the blue eyed turned more nervous.

- ... D-daily... Life stuff and how to read...-

- ...-

- ...-

Nightmare opened his mouth to say something but he was interrupted by his twin's scream - Stop! Please! Let me go!- he ran towards the golden eyed's room, slamming the door open and seeing his brother trashing and fighting against someone on his dreams (Killer left 2 minutes ago).

The purple clothed grabbed his brother in a protective hug, whispering soothing things and rubbing his arms, that seemed to calm down the dreamer, which stopped fighting and curled into the arms that were holding him. Blue sighed in relief, he was nearly having an attack for the intense scream that the smaller did.

- Nighty?- Dream mumbled in his dreams.

- I am here, little brother.- the smaller curled up more.

- Is okay if I don't use my cloak today? They damaged it and I don't want them to do it again.- he mumbled, he was still asleep and apparently dreaming with his time back on Dreamtale. Nightmare, however, didn't remember this conversation, his brother never asked to not use his cloak and certainly, he never told him that the villagers damaged it in any way.

- ... Is okay... But, how did they damage it? I don't see any hole or similar.- he replied.

- With a horrible game. They choked me with it, meanwhile they were slamming things inside me.- Nightmare started to tremble after hearing that, Blue covered his mouth with both hands, tears starting to fall from his eyesockets - When they finished, there was this disgusting liquid thing that is white and sticky, they used my cloak to clean that liquid from their bodies and my down parts.- the purple eyed started to cry again, shaking more and the blue scarfed's tears fell down without control.
