3rd POV


Nightmare and Dream were battling at the moment. How did this happen? Well… Dream was having a day off for the day because the other two Star Sanses were off in different AUs doing other important stuff. Which had caused Dream to be alone for the day. He was taking a calming walk around his home AU, DreamTale but suddenly he had bumped into Nightmare along the way. 


Dream didn’t really wish to fight at the moment but Nightmare had already made a move, launching a sharp tentacle at Dream which he quickly dodged. The both of them had been fighting for about 20 minutes already. Dream was tired and didn’t want to keep fighting. He got slower and slower by each move he did. This had ended up with Nightmare winning the fight easily.


Dream collapses on the ground, exhausted from the sudden fight. “Well, well, well look who won this time, huh Dream?~” Nightmare taunted as he crouched down to look at his tired brother. Dream was too weak to say a word. He slowly closed his eyes, falling unconscious, not thinking about the consequence this would bring. 


As Dream started regaining his consciousness, he felt his wrists and ankles restrained. He jolted his eyes open as he looked around to figure out where he was and why he was tied up. It was a dark room with only a light shining on him. He saw that he was laying down on a table with his arms restrained above his head, he was currently in an ‘I’ position. Some of the layers of his clothing were off. 


He didn’t see anyone around but maybe that was a good thing in his case. He hesitated to say anything but he started to say something anyway. “H-hello..?” He waited for any response. “Why hello, brother.” A voice replied as Dream quickly faced where the voice came from. He saw his gooey brother, Nightmare standing a few feet away from his side. 


“Nightmare, why am I here?! Was this you?!” Dream shouted as Nightmare chuckled. “Well to answer your questions, you’re here to answer an interrogation regarding you and yes this was indeed me who did ‘this’ to you.” Dream was confused when Nightmare mentioned an interrogation. “W-what interrogation?” Dream managed to say as Nightmare grinned at him. “I’m just gonna ask you one, simple question.” 


Nightmare said as he walked closer to Dream. “What is your ‘Star Sanses’ big plan to stop us from corrupting and torturing AUs?” Nightmare said as he slammed his hands on the table. Dream shivered at Nightmare’s movement. “W-we don’t have any plans, I s-swear!” 


Nightmare raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure about that?” Dream nodded his head rapidly. Nightmare sighed disappointedly. “This is your last chance to speak the truth or else.” Nightmare threatened. “Please I-I’m telling the truth! We n-never planned anything!” Dream yelled. It was true what Dream was saying, Ink, Blue and himself never really discussed about finally putting an end to the Bad Sanses. They only worried about current and future fights and battles.


Nightmare shook his head slowly at Dream. “Tsk, tsk, tsk can’t believe you would lie to me like that brother.” Nightmare raised his tentacles as they pointed at Dream. “W-what are y-you gonna do to me?!” Nightmare grinned wider as he looked at Dream straight in the eye sockets. 


“You’ll see~” Nightmare’s tentacles shot down at Dream as Dream shut his eyes tightly, preparing himself for impact. But what he felt was not what he was expecting. Dream felt Nightmare’s tentacles roaming around his stomach and ribs. A smile crept on Dream’s face. The tentacle then started wiggling in between Dream’s ribs. 


Dream started wiggling and squirming in his restraints trying to escape from Nightmare’s tentacles. “Nihihihihihihightmareee hehehehahahaha!” Dream’s giggles slowly turned into laughter. “So tell me when you give up to tell me that secret plan, will ya or else this will just continue for the whole day.” Dream shook his head, bubbling out laughter. 


“Wehehehehe dohohohohohon’t haveee ohohohohohonneeee!” Dream laughed as he pulled on his restraints but Nightmare ignored his protests and kept tickling him. He then moved his tentacles to Dream’s belly which made Dream’s laughter get higher. “NIHIHIHIHIHIGHTMARE N-NOHOHOHOHOT THEREHEHEHEHEHE!” Nightmare smirked. “Why? Is the dream boy really ticklish here?~” 


Dream blushed as teasing made all of this worse. He laughed more, not being able to answer Nightmare’s question. An hour passed and this tickle torture was still going on. “Ok if you’re not gonna spill it then I’m gonna have to higher up the intensity of this.” Nightmare said as he tentacle shot up to Dream’s armpits. 


They swirled around in the crevice of his armpits. Dream’s wailed with laughter. Nightmare knew all of Dream’s weak spots and his armpits were the most ticklish spot he had. Dream couldn’t even say any words to protest as he was too caught up in the tickling and his laughter. Then it began, Nightmare’s teasing. “Can’t Dream the Guardian of positivity handle a little tickling?~” 


Dream just blushed at this as he desperately wanted to hide his face. Nightmare used his hands and wiggled his fingers in between Dream’s ribs which only made Dream scream with laughter. Even if Dream could barely take all of this tickling, he missed spending time with his brother, even if this was just an interrogation. “Tickle tickle Dreamy~” Dream thrashed even more. “NOHOHOHOHOHO MOHOHOHORE TEAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHASINGGGG!” Dream barely said in his laughter. 


“It’s just teasing, can’t you take it?~” Nightmare said as he tickled a bit faster. Soon Dream’s laughter turned silent which caused Nightmare to slow down. Eventually Dream calmed down and he was only giggling. Nightmare stopped as he looked at his panting and giggling brother. “I-I hope yohohou know… that we didn’t actuahahally have a plan….” Dream said as he had his eyes closed, focusing on his breathing. 


“Oh I know.” Nightmare chuckled as Dream shot his eyes open. “WHAT?!” Nightmare grinned. “I know you guys wouldn’t plan the ‘end’ of all of this.” Dream looked at Nightmare dead in the sockets. “THEN WHY DID YOU DO THIS!” Dream howled at Nightmare. Nightmare started untying Dream. “Well cause I… I kinda wanted to spent time with you, you know..?” Dream sat up and looked at his dear brother with a big bright smile. 


“I didn’t know you felt that way brother! Why didn’t you just say so?” Nightmare looked to the side. “That would have been embarrassing.” Then Nightmare looked at Dream with a smirk. “Plus I wanted an excuse to tickle you again.” 


Dream gasped playfully. “Why you!” Dream then pounced on Nightmare and started tickling him. “Whahahait!” Nightmare said before they got into a tickle fight. After a few minutes they stopped and looked at each other. 


Dream smiled again as he hugged his brother tightly. “I missed you.” Nightmare smiled softly and hugged back. “I missed you too.” Nightmare’s goo ran off his body and he turned into his passive form. The two brothers were reunited again.
