Art not mine!

Dream's POV:
I'm at the base with Blue and Ink.
"Hey dream?" Blue suddenly asked. I look up, blinked once and then responded, "Yes, Blue?"
"Well, Ink told me what happened and that you went up against Error before Killer and him retreated, so why do you look untouched by Error? I only see knife marks on you."
I feel sweat dripping as he asks me this. I'm not sure why, it's not like it's a big deal or anything. Just because I touched Error and he didn't crash, then he blushed and ran away, doesn't mean anything... right? "Uh... Uhm. Well, The truth is...." I brace myself, I'm about to lie to Blue for no apparent reason. "Error was weak today. I don't what's up but he didn't seem like he was really in it. He was easy to drive off."
I lie. Blue seemed unsure for a second, but he is naive so he believed me. "Oh. Okay! Thanks for clearing that up, Dream!" He smiled, I felt a little bad, but not really. I went to my room. I was thinking about Error. How he flushed as I touched him instead of getting scared and crashing. 'Just from embarrassment..' I try to reason with myself. No reason he'd like me, we just met. No reason for me to like him either. I breathe out, however I feel my cheeks warming up. 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥٫ 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥٫ 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥. 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐡𝐨'𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐓𝐨𝐨 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮. Shattered speaks into my mind. To my dismay, he's back. Shattered words get to me, even though I know it's not true... I think. Golden tears stream down my eyes, my mood swinging. 'Shattered please...' I beg in my thoughts for him to not right now. 𝐌𝐲٫ 𝐬𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜. 𝐍𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐤٫ 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐄𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫٫ 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐞٫ 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮. I sob louder as I hear those words echo throughout my mind. I bang my head against the wall. Shattered is right. I don't deserve to live. Nobody wants me. But... people need me, right? My aura... people need my aura. 'But shattered... people need me.' 𝐍𝐨. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚٫ 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬. 𝐄𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥. 𝐍𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 'You're right. I should just disappear. Not even die. I don't deserve to die. I don't get to take the easy way out. I should run far away into an abandoned AU. No one will come looking for me.' I respond to shattered though my thoughts. I then realize I probably look crazy right now. I'm clutching my head with golden tears pouring out my eye sockets while grinning wildly. I hear a knock on the door. "Dream...?" Ink asks. "Everything okay?" He whispers. 𝐇𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞. 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐲𝐞𝐬. Shattered tells me. "Ah, of course, I'm fine Ink!" I use my best not-sobbing voice. "Oh alright..." I hear him walk away. 𝐒𝐞𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬? 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐬. Shattered taunts. I nod slowly, accepting his statements. I bang my head against the wall until I start bleeding. I'm laughing uncontrollably now. 𝐘𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐞, Shattered remarks. 𝐅𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧٫ 𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐚𝐝٫ 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭. 𝐆𝐨𝐝٫ 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐝. 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐬٫ 𝐡𝐮𝐡? Shattered snorts as his 'joke'. "DREAM!" Blue suddenly yells from outside the door. " Error and Dust are attacking DanceTale!" He screams urgently through the door. "Alright! Coming!"
I say, trying not to sound annoyed. I clean my wound up, it's still noticeable but I can make up an excuse that Blue will believe. I storm out the bathroom, pretending to have a sense of urgency. Then I realize Error will be there. I feel my cheeks heat up as I open up a portal to DanceTale. As I arrive there it's chaos. Blood stains the blue snow and everything is in ruins. The few monsters that are left are scurrying about in attempt to escape. Ink and blue are fighting off Dust and Error. I stay back, figuring they could handle themselves.

Error's POV: My strings are wrapped around the disgusting blue skeleton as I swing him about. Dust is fighting the hideous squid, he seems to be winning. I then look over, bored. Blue was decently strong but no match against me. I then see dream out of the corner of my eye. I feel blush creep onto my cheeks. This is my chance! To see Dr- To capture him and have him spill the Star Sanses plans. Yeah. I suddenly drop Blue, I hear him break at least 5 different bones. I pick dream up with my strings, I wrap some around his soul. This surprises him. He squeals and then looks up at me and starts sweating. I see a light shade of gold creep onto his cheeks. This makes me flush too. I shake the thought aside and yell to Dust. "Hey! I'm leaving with this one." He glared at me. "So I'm all on my own?" He growls. I shrug, "You don't have to stay, idiot." I hear Dream giggle. 'Cute...' I think to myself. Wait. No. It's not cute. I hear Ink and Blue shouting for me to give Dream back as I open up a portal to the anti-void.

935 words! Wow. If anyone is reading this I hope your enjoying. I promise things get more interesting. This is going rather along the same lines as other Insomnia stories, in the sense of Error catching Dream, but I'll switch up a few things soon! Anyways, bye <3!

P.S. Dream isn't just totally depressed. He's positive but the voices get to him. He's also got rapid mood switches, kinda like Ink!
