Them and Dream loved each other once, though they would never admit it. They met in high school, starting off as simple crushes. Cliché, yeah, I know. That's still how it was between them for a while. They were both seniors when he finally asked them out. They of course said yes.

It had been like that for a while, constant dates and affection. But as their relationship went on, they seemed to have gotten sick of each other...

They started arguing about small things. It never got physical, just a bit... toxic.

They never thought much of it, thinking it was maybe a phase they were going through, but it lasted too long for comfort.

"It's nothing." Y/N would say in response to him asking what was wrong or if he asked what was happening between them. That was the answer every time, from either of them.

They weren't sure how to cope with what was going on and what they were feeling anymore.

Before, it was affection and love, but now it was just harmful words and confusion.

They would say something they didn't mean, and the other would explode.

Either they would ignore each other or try to talk it out, which would escalate into yet another argument. They would do this often, not realizing how bad they were hurting each other.

It got to the point where one of them would say "Whatever" and stormed out of the place somewhere else for a little while, leaving the other to their thoughts.

~༄~

The arguments that would ensue are often about something small, escalating into something larger and more important.

It was always something.

It never changed.

It was the same thing over and over again, and they both were growing sick and tired of it.
