    Summary

    Ink is comfortable, and Dream is warm, his head on their chest as if listening to their soul-beat.
    Of course, there's nothing there. Ink can't help but fear that Dream has noticed the same thing.

    Before they can think better of it, they ask, their voice soft in an attempt to mask their anxiety.
    "Does it bother you? That I'm just... empty. No soul-beat, or aura, nothing. Like a corpse, if I just stopped talking."

    Dream exhales softly, then nuzzles closer, his face pressed against the soft shirt that covers their empty ribcage. His arms tighten around them, protective in a way that makes Ink feel more alive.

    "Ink," he says softly, "would it be weird to say that you feel peaceful?"

    -

    (Ink feels self-conscious about their soullessness, especially because Dream can read anyone's emotions except theirs. How can Dream feel nothing from them, and still believe that Ink is real?
    Dream doesn't see a problem, though. He's perpetually overwhelmed by everyone else's auras, and really can't imagine anything better than a peaceful undead friend to cuddle with.)

    Summary

    A skeleton lay curled up in the empty space. Uncaring sketches surround him, looking anywhere but at him.
    The skeleton imagines, any moment now, that one of them might move. That they might approach his tiny, shivering form. Look at him, and not through him. Reach out and touch him.

    -

    Ink is curled up in a white void again, this time by choice. It still hurts, and they are back to quietly pretending it doesn't. They hope that this time, their silence will be enough not to annoy him. So maybe he won't leave or toss them out.

    Error sits by their side on an old, flattened beanbag, static humming around him, watching Undernovela through an interdimensional window. The sounds, and the knowledge that he is there with them, helps Ink get through the time in this empty space without crying.

    They will not let themself hope for love, they tell themself, though they know they won't ever be able to stop hoping.

    -

    (Ink waits, dreaming of receiving affection for the first time in their life. No one notices. Error tolerates them.
    Angst with a probably-hopeful ending...?)

    Summary

    "You-- you could make me feel worse," Ink gasps, barely able to speak through their panicked sobs.
    Still, they look directly into Nightmare's eyelight, attempting to promise him something worthwhile.
    "Dark blue for sadness," Ink tells him, "and purple for fear. It-- it would hurt, and you could do whatever you wanted with that."

    It's obvious that they're just trying to get out of this. But he knows what those colors do to Ink. They're not lying.

    Dream will interrupt them soon, anyway... Would it be more enjoyable than watching them bleed out?
    Nightmare takes the purple vial from its place. Ink's eyelights shine with hope as he opens the cap.

    He tilts the vial and starts to pour the liquid onto the ground.

    "NO--" Ink screams, their voice raw and broken. The scream turns to a gurgle as paint gushes from their mouth.
    Only a few droplets fall from the vial.
    Nightmare feels something at the sight. He holds on to the vial tightly in his hand.

    -

    (Nightmare captures Ink and decides to torture them. Surely, it will be fun to break Dream's annoying, soulless little pet.
    ...He doesn't enjoy it as much as he thought he would.)

    Summary

    If Dream could accept even the smallest sign of weakness in himself, he would know something has been wrong since he woke up this morning. Maybe even since he fell asleep too early the night before, but he'd never be so honest with himself.

    Somehow, he's still convinced he's fine today.

    He feels tired because he always works hard, that's normal. The nausea and dizziness must be a sign of a shift in the balance, one more reason to work harder today, and he's always warmer than any other skeleton. He can explain it all away, everything he's feeling is completely normal.

    -

    "...Yeah, no, we're going home," Ink says.
    "But I just got here," Dream protests. He can't show up just to leave after an hour or two, he'll disappoint everyone--
    "You're not even keeping your eye sockets open," they point out.

    His chest hurts like he might cry.

    "Okay," he whispers, quiet so only Ink hears.
    They make some excuse for him to leave. He tries not to listen too closely.

    -

    (Dream catches a normal cold. He feels horribly guilty and shameful and disgusting about it. Ink is there for him.)
