#Bad was very distressed when he found Sapnap's egg empty after he hatched

[pomellon]

When I mentioned Dream and Sapnap bonded when they were really young in the dtk+ dragon au, I mean that Dream woke up one night to the sound of Sapnap’s egg hatching, went to check on him, and found a little baby hatchling blinking up at him. The bond was instant, and Dream just picked lil baby Sap up and tucked him into his nest before curling up around him.

Sapnap literally imprinted on Dream.

Dragon imprints last for a couple of years and are there so hatchlings have an adult to run to and rely on in case of danger and to care for them. Obviously Bad was meant to be the dragon Sapnap imprinted on, but even tho he wasn’t he still of course was the one who took care of all of Sapnap’s needs. Sapnap would just fuzz and struggle if Dream wasn’t around and the moment he was set free to do as he pleased he would be toddling after Dream. The moment he got spooked he would dive under Dream’s baby fluff and he was generally pretty much attached to the older hatchling.

Dream didn’t at all mind, he’s just a couple of years older than Sapnap and was mostly just excited to have a new potential friend, taking his role as Sapnap’s “protector” very seriously. 

They practically did everything together, and twenty-something years later Sapnap is still following after Dream, and Dream will still curl up around him when they sleep <3
