Faking the Fall (errorink)

A/n: yall I finished this, wrote chapter 14, 15, and started 16 in the past two days. I'm hyped. It's getting to the point where things get really good. A lot of this has been planned and there is a split off point in the next chapter in which I will be making a storyarch that changes during the flashback because my friend inspired me to. If y'all would like me to post it, either as a one shot or an actual book. Please tell me.

The week Eraser gained the simple emotion vials.

Nightmare curled up on the couch. Since Reboots party, the day he kissed the other, Reboot had been distancing himself from Nightmare.
"Nighty…" Dream put a hand on his brothers shoulder.
"Why does he still look at me like hes disturbed? It's been nearly a year. I keep apologizing. Why won't he forgive me?" Nightmare looked up at his younger twin who just leaned closer to his elder.
"I don't know. I don't know. I wish I did but I don't." Dream sighed.
"How can I fix this!? He's my best friend, my everything! How could I have let him hate me?" Nightmare pulled at the black goop on his skull. He had been in his aggressive form since the incident.
"I'll find a way to fix this Nighty. I promise." Dream whispers before leaving.
"He can't hate me… Reboot cant hate me. I can't lose him." Nightmare croaked

"Dream? What are you doing here?" Reboot was blocking off the door to his home.
"I'm here to speak with you about my brother." Dream spoke and pushed past Reboot.
"Dream! Wait!" Dream walked into the house to see Blue asleep on Dusts shoulder.
"Blue?" Dream turned back to face Reboot.
"Dont you dare wake him." Dust hissed and Reboot grabbed dreams arm.
"What the- never mind. Reboot you need to talk to Nightmare. Soon. Hes hurting." Dream grabbed Reboots arms tightly. Reboot winced and Dust went stiff.
"Dream let him go. We have to stay quiet." Dust hissed. It seems that Reboot knew what he was talking about.

Dream didn't learn for a few more months that they were in fact worried about waking Eraser who slept on the floor of Reboots room. When Dream asked why he slept on the floor Reboot explained that Eraser wasn't used to the bed and would move down to the floor the second they left the room.
Dream also learned that Dust had learned of Reboots feelings for Eraser when he playfully shoved the creator. He was met with the destroyers fist a few seconds later. Eraser had been asleep until he heard Reboot stumble and thought his friend was in danger.

"I'll speak with Nightmare and uh-" there was a loud noise upstairs, "if you give me a moment." Reboot pushed Dream out of the building.

"Boots?" Eraser mumbled rubbing his eyes. Reboot evinced noticing how his eyes where duller than before his nap.
"Racey. Here." Reboot raised a small test tube full of green paint. Eraser downed in before resting his head on the creators shoulder.
"Are you okay? I heard you wince." 
"I'm fine Racey."
"You sure?"
"If course. I'm gonna be out for a bit so be good for Blue and Dust?"
"I'm not a kid."
"Sure your not," Reboot laughed before rolling his eyes.

"He hates me!!" Nightmare screamed at the mirror.
"I don't… why did you ever believe I could hate you?" Reboot stood in the doorway, his eyes filled with sadness.
"Because I… I kissed you without permission right after you admitted you liked someone else. I was an incentive jerk." Nightmare didn't face him.
"Night… I dont hate you." Reboot rung his hands, before hanging his head. Nightmare stared at his friend for a silent moment before wrapping his arms around Reboot in a hug.
"Oh thank god," Nightmare whispered. "I don't think I could have lived with myself if you hated me." Nightmare whispered.
"I cant hate my best friend now can I?" Reboot make a small grin that nearly seemed forced.
"it's actually a very possible thing I worry about often." Nightmare scoffed rubbing the back of his skull. Reboot just rolled his eyes.
"Don't worry about me hating you ever again."

Man Reboot was in such trouble. Eraser had showed up at the same time Nightmare had and now the pair was having a glaring competition.
"Seriously?" Reboot pulled at Erasers sleeve but the destroyer shook him off.
"Back away from him Re." Nightmare hissed.
"Don't listen to him Boots." Eraser moved to block Nightmares view of Reboot.
"Oh come on guys!" Reboot whined trying to step in between the two hard heads.
"He almost-" Reboot quickly covered Nightmares mouth to stop him from telling Eraser what he almost did that first day of destruction.

"Reboot? What was that paint?" Dream gripped his twins arm as Eraser chugged the pale yellow. Before their friend had a moment to respond the skeleton next to them began to shake.
"Boots. What's going on?" Eraser was whimpering. That was definitely something Reboot had never seen Eraser do before.
"I don't know. It was just my prototype white paint mixed with yellow. You've had it before in smaller doses and it's never done this." Reboot was now holding the slowly collapsing destroyer.
"It… hurts…" Eraser whimpered as his magic began to move around the room in vicious waves of energy that kept trying to push the creator back. 
"Racey I'm here. Just take a deep breath." Reboot held onto the destroyer as best as he could but the once emotionless being's magic was still pushing him away. 

Dream noticed the darkness in Erasers magic first. He screamed first. He tried to save Reboot first. Nightmare noticed it next when he tried to approach and he felt a sudden burning sensation. Eraser realized it next and tried with all his might to push Reboot away.
The creator had realized it before the darkness began but he wouldn't budge.
 He held his friend as the destroyer screamed in pain and when the sudden burst of dark magic overtook his now exhausted senses, he didn't even try to fight the darkness. He watched, whilst rubbing the sobbing Erasers skull, as his vision grew dark and his bones began to steam. It hurt but he didnt care. He was the only one suffering and his well being didn't truly matter, did it?

A loud bang echoed through the air along with a soft cry of pain.

"Boots?"
"Reboot? oh god! What did you do to him you monster?!"
"Boots?"
"Back away from him. Cant you see this is your fault?"
"BOOTS!?" 
"Leave him alone Eraser."
"BOOTS WAKE UP!" Nightmare and Dream carried the unconscious Reboot away but Eraser stayed, screaming for the creator.

But no one came.
