Dream Destroys All of the Doors

God dammit, Dream.

Thank you Yumidorabase for this suggestion I hope you like it :) Remember to brush your teeth before you cross the road

Nightmare already knew this was going to be an eventful day. He let out a long sigh, groggily shifting onto his side and pulling the purple bed covers over himself, hiding from his brother that stood before him.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Dream chanted giddily, practically bouncing.

Nightmare didn't know why his brother was so energetic at five in the morning but he wasn't about to find out. He'd much rather remain in the comfort of his bed for another few hours. He let out a groan, further burying himself under the blanket.

"No." He mumbled tiredly.

Dream huffed, folding his arms and peering down at where his brother hid. 

"But it's morning!" Dream whined, stepping towards the guardian of negativity's window and peeking through.

The sun was just beginning to awake from it's slumber, painting the sky a pretty blend of yellow, pink and blue. Clouds of cotton candy were dotted around; they were large and looked fluffy- Dream wanted to eat them all up. Trees waved their branches gently in the calm breeze and the leaves twirled and danced happily to the song of birds. He loved sunrises. He gazed out of the window a little longer before abruptly turning around and approaching Nightmare.

"Night, wake up- I want to play."

"I want to sleep."

Dream mumbled something under his breath, leaning forwards and gently shaking his concealed brother.

"Please?"

Nightmare let out an exasperated breath. It's not that he didn't want to play with Dream, he just went to sleep late again and felt exhausted. He knew that if he told his brother why he didn't want to get up then he'd understand and let him rest- yet at the same time that would worry the guardian of positivity and he didn't want to do that. His eyes opened blearily in defeat.

"Fine." He gave in, voice muffled from underneath the bed cover. He wearily lifted up the blanket and tossed it to the side, sitting up and stretching his arms. He let out a long yawn before slumping against the backboard of the bed, staring at his grinning brother.

Dream opened his mouth to say something before properly taking a look at the other guardian. He had dark circles beneath his eye-sockets and his lilac eyes were more dull than usual. 

"Did you get enough sleep?" Dream asked, tilting his head slightly with a frown. Nightmare nodded and offered a small smile.

"Yeah, I had lots of sleep actually." He lied. "I'm just a lazybones."

Dream giggled, though he couldn't help but feel like there was something more to it. 

"What did you want to play?" Nightmare asked, breaking Dream out of his train of thought.

"Hide and seek tag!" He exclaimed, his golden-yellow eyes shifting to stars.

Nightmare chuckled quietly at the excitement radiating from his brother. 

"Okay- outside, right?"

Dream shook his head. "Inside!"

Nightmare faltered slightly, giving the guardian of positivity an uneasy yet playful glare.

"If you break any of our windows, I will-" He started before being rudely interrupted by a gloved hand covering his mouth.

"I promise not to shatter a single window!" Dream vowed.
