  1. And now? There's no tree now to make him stay in one place. He could always grab dream and run now. There's no way anyone is going to pin him down.

    Nightmare now tries to find places to be alone at and has to change spots as blue keeps trying to find and "spend time with nightmare"

      1. He's going to make like 3 emergency run bags.

        Dream will probably try to get nightmare to socialize with the others and Nightmare will hate every second

          1. Dream: come on nightmare! It's just blue ink and red! *has pulled nightmare along with him*
            Nightmare: *SURE JUST THREE STRANGERS, GREAT* .........
            Blue: Hi, it's nice to get to talk to you!
            Nightmare: *two seconds from shortcuting* ......... hey.

                      1. Nightmare has no idea why they are moving around colored bits..... he's just reading the instructions and ... well the stars kinda had house rules and nightmare doesn't understand why. He's trying to speak as little as possible but the board game just isn't making sense to him

                          1. Nightmare never got to play these kinds of games past ones he and dream made up at their tree. Which was basically tag with additions.

                            He has no idea why the rules are so complicated but he needs to know the rules so he can't be accused of anything.

                              1. And he has no idea how. He's so suspicious of it that he keeps rereading the rules.

                                Red, blue, Ink, and Dream had no guilt for letting nightmare win.

                                1. Nightmare probably wouldn't show it outward but he would be so proud and Dream can feel that emotion clearly

                                  1. Dream is very very happy for his brother. He read a book for helping ..... basically how to help traumatized kids. It said something about building self esteem through tiny victories.

                                    Nightmare hasn't really had any .... good social not-dream encounters and even if ink keeps asking him to paint ....it's not... bad.....

                                      1. ..... let's hope nightmare would not get his hands on that book.

                                        Nightmare still doesn't try to initate the hangouts but Dream keeps pulling him to them.

                                        1. Poor little introvert, I can relate to being dragged into meetings with people XD

                                          1. Dream knows positive interaction is good for his little brother! And Nightmare is too shy to ever initiate it.

                                            So dream has to gently push nightmare to spend time with the others, with Dream there as a comforting presence. Nightmare will still try to stick completely near Dream, but at least he's less terrified when ending up alone with them. He's wary still but..... he seems to be opening up if Dream is there to make Nightmare feel like they can't touch him. After all, no one hurts him if Dream is there.

                                            1. Exactly, Dream is older and different but he's still the only steady constant in Nightmare's life

                                              1. It's disorienting how similar and different dream is. How that's his dream but doesn't act like his dream. How he isn't the same size and there are rooms now. How Nightmare is expected to use a bed but he's never slept in one. How he's used to having a kid dream to sleep with but that's no longer. How dream still has these tasks and chores even if it's for different people (even if dream doesn't realize nm would see it this way). How different a building is, ones he's rarely ever entered for long, than the grassy hills near their mother.

                                                Dream is ....still dream but Nightmare can't help but see the differences. It's a big change and Nightmare isn't prepared for most of it

                                                  1. Nightmare has never had anyone to talk his feelings to and that's not changing anytime. He's always burdened his feelings and he always had put dream before himself

                                                                                              Comment Actions

Nightmare has learned that Dream will swoop in and save him if he screams in fear enough and like hell he's not going to use that. He doesn't want to inconvenience Dream but this new time is very confusing and he just wants to rely on Dream a bit

                                                                                                Comment Actions

                                                                                                  Comment Actions

                                                                                                    Comment Actions

                                                                                                      Comment Actions

                                                                                                        Comment Actions

                                                                                                          Comment Actions

                                                                                                            Comment Actions

                                                                                                              Comment Actions

                                                                                                                Comment Actions

                                                                                                                  Comment Actions

                                                                                                                    Comment Actions

                                                                                                                        It's hard for most of the skeletons to know that a magic attack is more trusted and a preferred company than they are. (Mostly blue)

                                                                                                                        Comment Actions

                                                                                                                                Comment Actions

                                                                                                                                    Comment Actions

Dream just tries not to think about it.

                                                                                                                                        Comment Actions

                                                                                                                                          Comment Actions

                                                                                                                                            Comment Actions

                                                                                                                                                Comment Actions

                                                                                                                                                    Dream being very disturbed if he sees nightmare reading to the apple. And then learning the apple houses the adult corrupted personality. And Nightmare is talking to them. Like it was his friend. (Which in Canon dreamtqle... nightmare did hear a voice talk to him very close to the apple event)

                                                                                                                                                    Comment Actions

                                                                                                                                                      Comment Actions

                                                                                                                                                        ...... oh how the mighty have fallen

But he needs to at least show preference to the little purple skeleton that is basically his guardian now.

                                                                                                                                                            Comment Actions

                                                                                                                                                              Comment Actions

Mare behaves only to not get in Bag Timeout. Nightmare is really the only one that can sense and understand him. Mare refuses to even attempt to try and see if dream can sense him.

                                                                                                                                                                The grumpy apple just kinda simmers from how awful this is. At least night will shine the apple some and try to be the best guardian the kid can be.

                                                                                                                                                                Comment Actions

                                                                                                                                                                  Comment Actions

Mare doesn't like being treated somewhat like an invalid or pet

                                                                                                                                                                    Comment Actions

Night likes to tuck the blanket around the apple all cozy. The apple isn't too big for him to tuck blankets like dream is. The apple just radiates annoyance and irritation. Especially when night pats the apple and tell it good night.

                                                                                                                                                                            Comment Actions

Mare getting Jealous of that other apple. Mare should be the only apple Night is around. .... also that thing will rot eventually, better to just have Mare.

What else was nightmare gonna talk to? Books? Nah, at least talking to the things he was guarding made it seem less like a burden to guard the apples

Exactly, he needed a confidant and apples were there for him and always seemed to have life in them uwu
