I know shh but I took a break.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By nightfall Ink had fallen asleep on the couch with the Tv on, leaving Dust to himself and his thoughts. Though it was nights like these that Dust had more bad thoughts then he did good, the thought of killing the creator in his sleep had gone through his mind more then once but it had spawned more questions then what it was worth. Tonight it was different question that left the slightly less crazed skeleton silent, Did he like the small rainbow colored creator? Dust had been pondering this question for a week or so and it was getting to the point that he need a second opinion on the matter. "Hey Paps?" Dust asks to see if he Brother was still there with him,  in which he got his answer when the floating head and hands of his brother came from beside him and looked at him with a questioning look as if ready to listen to Dust. 

"Do you think I'm in love?" he asks as if it was a casual thing to ask but he got his answer since his brother smiles at him and nods, though a thought shows up in his mind that makes him frown. He would need to get stronger to protect Ink if the human came back or if any others like Error wanted to kill them, But Ink doesn't want him to kill; so how could he get stronger? This caused Dust to fall into a loop of trying to find a answer to it all and in his loop Dust was missing the fact that the one who started this all was starting to shiver and roll in his sleep as if in a nightmare. It was the loud gasp that had Dust looking over at Creator who was shaking in a cold sweat, "You ok short stack?" Dust asks getting a glare from the smaller who still looked shook up from the dream.  Dust gets up from where he was sitting and walks over to Ink, "Hey?" he asks in such a gentle tone that it scared him slightly but he kept on "Why don't we go to Outertale and look at the stars?" he suggested to help the other.

Ink was silent for a moment before nodding and making a portal to the Au, letting Dust go first before going through and closing it behind him. The stars did help the creator a little bit but his nightmare still had a grasp on him and it worried, 'What if I can't really help Dust? what if he gets Worse?' he thinks as he sits down with Dust sitting a few inches away from him. Dust looked worriedly over at the creator and made a risky choice, "Hey Ink?" he asks to get the creators attention. "Yes Dust?" the creator asks looking over at Dust, "The stars are beautiful but there is something more stunnin-" Dust says but is cut off by the other "really Dust? a star pick up line?" Ink asks make Dust panic thinking he had done something wrong. Dusts eyes however widen as Ink leans over and closes off the space between them, closing his eyes Dust kissed back letting his worry melt away with the kiss. Ink pulled back looking into Dusts shocked eye lights "sorry but I had to get that out while I have the chance, I love you Dust" Ink says making Dust blush greatly and rub the back of his head, "Then I guess I don't have to worry about you rejecting me" He says before going to says something else but is stopped by footsteps that was very close to them.

"Aw how cute" A glitching voice mocks making both stand quickly and turn to face none other then Error himself, "Its so cute that its sickening" the destroyer says getting his strings ready for a fight. Ink got his brush and Dust summoned one of his sharp bones, both stood in a battle stance but all three stood waiting for who would make the first move. With a growl Error shot his strings out at both of them causing the two to move away from each other, Ink sent back a splash of paint as Dust sent a wave of bones which was evaded by Error. The fight kept up with Dust and Ink teaming up and fighting together making Error growl and forced the destroyer to try something else, the glitchy skeleton teleported out of sight leaving Dust and Ink to look around for him. Blue strings shot out of the dark and right at Ink from behind, Dust saw this and without a word pushed Ink out of the way of the blue strings becoming entangled as they wrapped around his neck, arms, and legs. Ink gets up eyes wide as he tries to help Dust only for the entangled skeleton to be harshly yanked away and to Error who was standing by a glitching portal, Error grins at Ink as Dust struggles in the strings next to him. "Now as much as I would love to stay and Destroy this mistake right in front of you, he's  got a meeting with Nightmare" Error says before turning around to leave through the glitching portal with Dust, with a growl of his own Ink sends red paint at the strings burning them on contact. 

This gave Dust the time he needed to bolt away from Error and to Ink who had opened up a portal of his own back to the doodle sphere, both dove through just barely escaping the destroyers strings. With a grunt Ink landed on Dust who had landed face down on the living room floor, "that was a close call" Dust mumbled through the floor "I agree, we gotta be more careful next time" Ink says just as a shadow covers them both making them look up and at the angry of Dream "careful indeed Ink, Care to Explain?" the positivity guardian growled slightly.
