With that, Ink had left. He told the two, Dream and Swap that he'd be in Outtertale for a bit. Wanted to draw and look at the stars there.
Leaving the two where they were before.

"Tsk.."

Swap looked to Dream as Dream began walking. It didn't seemed like he knew where, but he was heading towards waterfall it seemed.

"HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

Swap followed Dream.
He was still worried that his friend wasn't doing okay., so he asked;

"ARE YOU OKAY, DREAM?"

The two kept walking, silent for a moment. They passed temmie village, passed the shop, but stopped walking when they were near a pond.
Dream looked to Swap finally. His eyes glowed with a bright yellow look as Swap stared back.

"I'm.. I'm alright. Thanks, Swap."

"O-OH, DO NOT MENTION IT, MWEH HEH HEH!!"

Swap replied back, laughing a bit., but soon stopped as he saw Dream looking into the water. He noticed the reflection of the two and glanced to Dream.

"I just-.."
"He seems like he just doesn't care. Yeah, he is the protector of the multiverse but yet he doesn't seem to put much effort into helping us!?"

Dream flopped to the ground, sitting on the grass, still looking at the water of his reflection. Then Swap sat with him, staring.

...

"YOU ARE RIGHT. ."
"I MEAN. . WE DO PRETTY GOOD ON OUR OWN, CORRECT?"

Dream looked at Swap.

"I suppose., hehe."

They both smiled, so Swap continued.

"YEAH, AND I MEAN, HE IS NOT EVEN WITH US HALF THE TIME. ."
"WE KICK ASS PRETTY SWELL, NO?"

"Hahaheh, yeaah, you're right once again, Swap. Haha!"

Dream nudged Swap. Swap soon then began to blush and stare at Dream. He's been meaning to tell Dream something for a couple weeks.
Swap has had a bit of a crush on Dream for about a month now, he just didn't know when to tell him..

Just when Swap was about to confess, Dream opened his mouth.

"I-.. oh, were you going to say something?"

Dream asked, noticing Swap also opened his mouth. But Swap shook his head quickly, still blushing like crazy.

"Well, I think we're pretty cool together. Don't you think?"

Dream smiled looking at Swap. Swap never been hit harder, he always admired how Dream was so kind and wanted to help others. He just had to say it.

"DREAM!"

He got up, looking pretty stiff as he closed his eyes hard shut. His light blue blush covering his entire face.
Swap decided to not tell Dream about his feelings for him.

"I THINK. ."

Dream got up.
Smiling.

"I THINK WE ALONE SHOULD WORK AS A TEAM! NO INK!"

"What?"
He stopped smiling.

Swap opened one of his eyes, looking to see Dream was staring back at him. Dream seemed to be a bit confused..

"I JUST, WELL YOU SAID IT YOURSELF. WE ARE COOL TOGETHER. YOU'RE COOL, I'M COOL, WE DON'T REALLY NEED INK."

"Swap.."

"AND THINK ABOUT IT, WE'RE REALLY GOOD TOGETHER, YEAH?!"

Dream grabbed Swaps shoulders. Swap opened both his eyes now. It seemed Dream wasn't really liking what Swap was saying.

"We..-"
"We need Ink, okay?"
"I know he sucks a lot, he forgets a lot. He kind of lies here and there and kind of stinks but..."

Swap stared at Dream. What is he talking about?

"He's a good guy, you know?"

Dream still had his hands on Swaps shoulders. He seemed to forget that as he continued to talk.

"And like, he's funny and he sometimes listens and.. and his pupils..."
"They're always changing, isn't that kind of cool?!"

'MY PUPILS CHANGE TOO, SOMETIMES. .'

Swap thought to himself, though still nodded to Dream as Dreams grip on Swap tightened.

"Ah, I mean, I guess we should be a bit nicer to Ink. Don't you think?"

In that moment. Swap noticed something in Dreams face. Dream seemed.. different. He was... smiling very grand, and his blush. It wasn't just natural anymore, it seemed to get brighter than before.

Oh.

He likes Ink.
