Arranged Marriage// dreamwastaken x reader

Chapter 34

I stared at the man that was captive for a while. He was pale with hair like the color of coal.

I slowly realized this man was the dead King George or I guess the alive one. I remember vaguely of what he looked like in the painting that Sapnap showed me. In that painting he was shown as a strong leader and now he was almost bone, I could barely even recognize him.

I looked over towards my husband and my heart broke a little for him. This was his best friend that he thought to be dead. He almost looked as pale as George, I think it was due to the sickness of knowing that while Dream tore down everything George did for the country he was alive and suffering

"H- How?" Dream asked, stumbling a little over his words.

"Let's just say that the Pigman had multiple of the totems and used one on him. I am sure he was just waiting to use him as a weapon, kind of like what I am doing now. But we made a deal and so now he is in my possession," Schlatt stated, "So if Dream doesn't take the bargain, I will gladly give him back to his previous owner."

Dream and George were looking at each other, attempting to speak without having to use words. I wonder if he was apologizing for all the suffering George had to go through.

"Take him back," Schlatt ordered.

"NO," Dream yelled. He was being separated from him once again.

Dream and I would no doubt be different and maybe that is what that devil wanted. That pig masked bitch wanted to severe the ties of everyone in the government and this sure as hell is one way. It will no doubt break the relationship of Dream and I, then breaking the alliance of the two countries.

Schlatt and Quackity left the room to give us some time to talk things over.

"Dream they are right you have to be the one to choose. I will not kill Tommy, he doesn't deserve that as much as I hate him."

His head shakes side to side.

"You are only saying that because now he is sorry. Bullshit (Y/n), that is what that is. He supposedly is sorry and you find a way to sympathize with it. You know what I will choose, George deserves to live way more than Tommy."

"This isn't just about them, it is about us. You tell me things like you love me, but when it really counts I don't think you do. You making me kill Tommy is something we won't be able to come back from and it isn't because he apologized. He is young and makes mistakes, I have made a hell of a ton, but he shouldn't have to pay for them by dying."

I hate myself for not being understanding. I hate myself for not making his choice any easier. But the truth is, I'm sick of being told what to do. Dream telling me I have to kill Tommy to save his friend, isn't something I can be content with.

"So what, I let George just die because I love you. Who says I don't love him more?"

My heart ached at the question.

"Dream. I can't promise you much and I can't promise I will be here forever, but I am here now. I will fight to get him back for you but I shouldn't have to sacrifice anything of mine in the process."

Dream stares back at me, his eyes straining with hurt. 

"Do you even love me?"

"Confession for confession."

He sighed as a silent form of agreeance. "I am willing for you to hate me for the rest of your life if it means the two of you both get to live. I am willing to lose the chance of being with you in the end just so his ending isn't in the hands of that man."

I nodded at his confession. It isn't a surprise, he has always been willing to sacrifice everyone's happiness for life. 

It was now time to answer his question.

"I don't know what love is. Everyone hurts me and uses me when it is convenient for them. It might be the most selfish thing I have ever said but choose me." My heart breaks at every word, "Please choose me."

He just stared at me, not saying a word. My heart hurt every second he didn't respond. In any second he would tell me what he was going to choose.
