(Note: Killer and Blue Own a Cabin that they use to spar in, also this takes place the day after the last update.)

{ > Blue's Pov < }

I had just finished training with Killer, and honestly it was pretty hard to get my mind off of what happened between me and Dream earlier. But I didn't let that stop me anyways.

I accidentally gave Kills a pretty nasty scar during the FIGHT, so I took him to the Medical Room in the east hall.

For a Cabin, it had quite a lot of rooms and was also very vast in size. It was nice to have some space though. I eventually finished cleaning his wound, and as soon as I bandaged it, he seemed pretty eager to get his weapons.

It's probably nothing, I do tend to overthink sometimes. Ink sometimes tells me that I just don't give a shit about anyone, that I don't care about anyone enough.

Personally? Ink can kiss my ass. At least I have enough sympathy to at least ACT like I care about people. He's straightforward, but he's bitchy about it.

It's whatever, that's not what's going on right now. I should focus on the things I have going for me. Not everything has to be negative. Not even for Nightmare.

The amount of Sympathy he shows for me actually means a lot, and I can tell it's not fake. One thing that really only Dream and Nightmare know about me is my connection with the golden and black apples.

Dream and Nightmare are both able to see people's auras and feel their emotions. But with me, I can only sense them through my magic or when someone holds the apple. I can't see auras, but I can feel them.

The more negativity someone has, and the more positivity I have can influence how the person acts. I don't make people feel positive, nor do I make them feel negative.

I take their negative energy and basically "mix" it with my positivity. It creates a calming energy. Though if I use too much it could cause the person to fall asleep. If this happens, there is a possibility that it would give extreme night terrors or even random nausea.

Oh! And I can change the apples as well. I can turn them into a light blue color, and the affects of eating one would give the consumer a feeling of truthfulness and courage.

If too many were to be eaten, an appearance change would happen, and the consumer will turn into their soul color.
But that's enough about that.

We both left after I finished gathering my stuff. I went back to my base and he went back to his.

When I arrived home, I had realized Dream was still alone at our base. Apparently, Ink was staying another night with Nightmare. I shrugged it off as I glanced over at a sleeping Dream, absolutely passed out.

I blushed a bit as I put a blanket over him and headed to my room. I still couldn't shake off what had happened.

I changed and laid on my bed. I noticed a text I received from Error. Responding to him, I sighed and propped my head up.

A few minutes later, there was a quiet tapping sound coming from the door. "Come in, Dream," I said softly.

He slowly opened the door brought himself over to me. I pulled him next to me and allowed him to rest on my shoulder.
"Is everything alright, Dreamy?" I asked.

( > 3rd Person P0V < )

Dream blushed softly at the nickname he was given once more. He began to fidget with the cuffs of his sleeves.

"Not exactly. You know how I've been doing a little better since that..thing with Nightmare?" Dream says.

Blue nods and Dream keeps going. "Well, I keep getting these terrifying dreams and it's worrying me. I thought maybe coming in here with you would calm me down a bit," Dream admits with an awkward laugh.

Blue smiles and kisses Dream's forehead. "I'm sorry about the nightmares, but I truly hope I've helped!" Blue says in a bittersweet voice. He knew that Nightmare could've possibly been up to something, but he decided to push that aside.

Dream blushes an even deeper yellow this time as Blue intertwines his hand with Dream's. "..you really have. Thank you, darling," He says quietly before continuing on. "Um, is there anything I can do..?"

"I don't see why you'd need to do anything. I love you, I'm going to help you out either way," Blue says gently. "Though there is one thing.." He adds. Dream's head perks up a bit. "What is it?" Blue smiles. "I definitely wouldn't mind a kiss," he says.

Dream quietly laughs at the obvious hint, pulling himself closer to Blue. He kisses Blue as gently as possible while wrapping his arms around Blue's neck. Blue kisses back, overall ecstatic. They break the kiss and continue to conversate.

"Mm, I've got it," Blue says aloud. "Got what?" Dream asks politely. "Nothing, my love. Apologies, I was thinking out loud,"
Dream blushes once more.

After a couple hours of talking, they both eventually decided it was time for them to rest.

"Love?" Blue asks. "What is it?" Dream replies, curiously. "Why don't you just stay in my room tonight? Knowing Ink, he won't be back until it's at least 3 p.m." He says. "Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Are you sure that's okay with you?" Blue smiles. "Of course it would be,"

Dream and Blue cuddle with eachother for awhile before they both actually fell asleep.

. ? . ? . ? .

"They're so fucking naive, it hurts to look at,"

"Shut up and deal with it. You know why we came here,"

"I just don't see why it matters,"

"You BOTH should know why it fucking matters. I've explained a hundred fucking times,"

"Sorry sir."

"Apologies, Lord."

"Don't give even think about giving up. This is the only thing I'll ever ask you two for. But it appears like we're in a loop. Do you two follow?"

"Yes sir,"

"Of course, Lord,"

"Good. I want you two to be careful. They're not just mentally ill, nor are they just regular sanses. It's very complicated, but if Ink gives in, we're done for,"

"Lord, if I may ask.. why must we be the ones to fix this loophole? You know, if Ink is the one at fault. I mean no disrespect, sir!"

"I'm also curious about that. And how are we to help? Ink and Error are the ones who made this problem feasible, though Ink found out what he could do with all of these components. Worlds."

"Because he had no idea what he was in for. He didn't know. He had to raise two kids, keep his mentality at a stable rate, and take a care of an entire multiverse. That's a lot of stress, don't you think?"

"I apologize, but-"

"We still don't understand fully,"

"Ink is aware of the basics now. We just have to wait. If he spills ANYTHING, we're not going to be able to fix this. So you two have the information and skill needed to complete this operation. I may be ruthless at times, but I know that we can't just have the multiverse crashing,"

"Time.. we have nothing but time, right?"

"Correct."

"I've got it! Time.. time is our key component. We need to figure out.."

"Wait, wait, so you're saying-"

"He is."
