Dream's POV a few days later

Ah yes, today is looking wonderful. Sun is shining, birds are chirping, and flowers are blooming. On days like these, everything seems to have the potential to go right. And yet here I am, struggling to keep things on track.

Bang bang bang!

"Nightmare you better come out right now!"I snap

For the past hour I have been trying to get my brother out of this room since he started to get cold feet. I could sense that his insecurities spiked at the worst time and have been trying to talk him out of it.

Never in my wildest dreams have I imagined that we'd be on good enough terms to attend his wedding. Yet here I am, the "Groom of Honor" or Maid of Honor and trying to get him out ten minutes away from his cue to go down the aisle!

I stop banging, getting an idea. All of my supportive or sweeter approaches have failed, so maybe hitting some nerves will get him out.

"Tch, never thought that I'd be related to a coward?"

"Excuse you?!"He snaps

"It's true. Out of all the things I thought I could be related to, a coward wasn't one. How much have faced head-on? Heck you have chaotic killers for children and don't even flinch yet a WEDDING has you running to hide with your tentacles between your legs? You've got to be kidding me, Nightmare. Or you're more of a moron than I knew Error was attracted to."I say

I could sense his anger through the door. Still, it remains locked shut. I lean against the wall beside it.

I'm so dead but he will thank me later.

"Honestly, Brother. Haven't you considered this? Where do you plan to go from here? Sit your own wedding out and hope for the best because a little voice in your head scared you? Come on, Nightmare. You can't be that much of a fool. You're the one who proposed to him, remember? You had this coming one way or another. What? Too scared to march down that aisle and face him as well as everyone for a few measly hours before having the rest of your future to enjoy? What would your sons think of you? What would Error think of you?"I tell him

He goes silent.

"Fine, I'll go let them know that you're too scared to actually put a ring on it."I say

"AM NOT!"He snaps

"Oh yeah? Prove it. Come with me and do it, I dare you."I chuckle

The door swings open and he is glaring me down, narrowing his eye at me as his tentacles swing wildly.

I'm so dead but it's worth it.

I offer my arm to him.

"Glad you came to your senses."I say

He takes my arm and frowns. I check the time and see that we have three minutes. I could hear music playing outside, where the ceremony is meant to be happening. I walk him outside and see dozens of chairs arranged and filled with friends that were able to attend. There were even some chairs marked for the voices that bother Error. Paps stands beside Error, who waits in his suit and fixing his glasses anxiously at the other end of the aisle. Paps is the Best Man obviously and Blue stands with papers ready, being the one that's going to officiate the marriage. 404 stands besides Paps as the only one that isn't in the gang that is standing on either side of the aisle meant to be the "groomsmen and bridesmaids" as they would be traditionally called in weddings. The only one not present at the moment is Horror.

Error's face turns a bright yellow and he smiles once seeing Nightmare. His anxious glitching dies down. I feel Nightmare tense up and squeeze his arm.

"Don't freeze up now, Brother. Prove that you're brave."I remind him through clenched teeth as I smile
