Redefining Expectations-Insomnia Sequel

Error's POV three weeks later

I slowly blink as I open my eyes, yawning. I see Paps sleepily walk past my doorway as he heads downstairs, probably to speak to the chefs to ask if he can cook again. He isn't used to being cooked for and this castle has a whole team, so it's something he hasn't adjusted to yet. He's been kicked out or rejected a few times depending on the staff on-shift while others have learned from his skills much like the librarians learning from his book making or sorting skills. I glance to my left, seeing the crown that appeared on my head after the blast...Dream's gift that he hasn't allowed me to take off. Especially now that he sent a small part of himself here who has been watching our every move...my every move. It feels a bit strange having him follow me around looking like a child or lost all those years that passed. He makes a few strange comments and reminds me to squeeze the doll whenever I'm upset. The crown shines with the bits of sunlight leaking through the window. Then I feel the bed dip beside me. I turn over, seeing the little version of him staring at me. His golden eyes are fixed on me, twinkling brightly. His gaze trails to where my hands rest, then back at me. His fingers twist and intertwine randomly as if he's playing with them nervously.

"Error....Did you sleep well?"He asks as usual, his voice softer than ever as if trying to avoid disturbing anything.

I smile at him wider. I have to admit that he is adorable even now. I nod, starting to sit up as I notice his cheeks turning yellow. He nervously glances away, seeming to consider something very carefully.

"What did you dream about?"He asks

Now it's my turn for my face to burn, knowing that I dreamed about him last night...Back with all of him and free from all this Fate and Destiny crap. He already knows the answer...He even looks sad for some reason as he sits in front of me.

"I bEt yOu kNoW tHe aNsWeR tO tHaT. WhY dO yOu lOoK uPsEt?"

"I'm not...Okay, maybe I am. I just know that won't happen for a while and it tells me that this place hasn't satisfied you."He says, crossing his arms with an adorable pout.

"ThiS pLaCe dOeSn'T hAvE yOu...aLl oF yOu, I meAn..."

He hums, glancing at me again.

"I see...I believe I still owe you something."He says, reaching for the doll of him.

"Hm?"

"Do you remember what you said before the prophecy forced us apart?"He asks

Then it clicks and I grin. We're finally  going to cuddle!

"YeS...I dO."

"And you're sure you can handle it? It won't cause you to crash?"

I nod and he hums, seeming to consider it.

"I hope you have fun then, Erry."He says

Huh?

He squeezes the doll but instead of saying "I love you" like it usually does, the eyes start flashing and then I hear a portal open. I drop through it, landing on a large desk. I glance around, amazed that I can actually see my surroundings. I can feel that the air is heavier in a way that only Fate's realm is. Usually I don't get to have my vision while I'm here...I'm the size of a crayon on this desk, it's gigantic...I see papers piled high on both side of me as the portal shuts. I glance up, seeing two dolls on a shelf. A doll of me and Nightmare except the one of me has flashing eyes like the one of Dream was...Then it stops flashing. I glance around at the large room, seeing that it had all the parts of a bedroom except a bed. I hear a door creak open and freeze up, seeing Dream walk in looking just like the tapestry Nightmare showed me on his phone. Huge wings flapping and an extra set of arms writing on a notepad it holds while another set of hands set aside his spear. He has four eyes now with the extra two stacked vertically above each other in line with his nose. Two seem focused on his notes, a third is shut and the fourth is fixed on me. The door quickly shuts behind him and he sighs.
