Till Dust Do Us Part - Dussic (Part One)

⚔ ~ 7 ~ ⚔

Classic had created a portal, sending them to the destination Dust had mentioned. He viewed the main area slowly, taking in the dark atmosphere. It was oddly welcoming to him, which wouldn't have been the case a couple days prior. Even so, he was aware how twisted he'd become. But the twisted nature offered something he hadn't felt before. Freedom. For the first time he felt alive. Like his life was his own to control. It was exhilarating and left him thrilled for the next kill. While he knew the more he slaughtered and leveled would taint him more, it was too hard to step away from. His soul yearned the rise in level. In power. He was overly power hungry.

"I have to go check with Nightmare, so you can either tag along or stay here. Either way doesn't really bother me..." Dust stopped speaking as he hopped out of the way, strings wrapping around Classic as he was lifted toward the ceiling. Both knew he could easily leave the hold at this rate, but he remained still. His smile was genuine as he relaxed in the strings hold, Dust glancing toward Error. "Let him go!"

"Not yet. Who is he and why bring someone to this castle?" Flattening his expression, Dust sighed before Classic broke out into laughter. He snickered before meeting Error's gaze.

"You and those star sanses are dumb, I swear. I change merely by level and no one recognizes me anymore!" Error widened his sockets before speaking in a threatening tone.

"Well... Sorry for being dumb, so specify who you are." Classic sighed as he opened his stat sheet, showing it to Error before he teleported from the strings hold. Reappearing beside Dust, he wrapped his arms around him before snuggling close. A brief color washed over the taller of the two as a firm hold kept Classic close. "Classic? As in, the original? What the hell happened?"

"I met Dust during another Genocide. To be honest, I was so tired of that shit. He opened my eyes to a better option, like leveling. We raided Underfell and then Underswap just to spite the Star Sanses." There was a laugh that rolled from Error as he rubbed his temples, his gaze shifting over Dust.

"I am not sure whether to be mad about your actions, or compliment you." 

"What do you mean?" Dust gave a confused expression while Classic ignored the conversation entirely. He let go before slipping away, wandering off without the other two noticing. 

"Classic!Sans, also known as the original is not someone to take lightly even before his level up. He could easily take you on, trust me. Not only did you corrupt him, but he's even more of a pain to handle. What if he'd joined the Star Sanses?"

"Error, that isn't possible, trust me. We share a special bond, not to mention he rarely leaves my side as it is. We're inseparable!" Error frowned as he tilted his head.

"Oh? Then want to explain where he left to?" Dusts sockets widened as he scanned the room, a groan leaving him.

"Shit! I hope he doesn't irritate Nightmare..." 

"Too late. This yours?" Turning, both Error and Dust noticed Classic sitting idle in Nightmare's tentacle. He was messing with a bone, jabbing it lightly into the goop. While it was irritating to Nightmare, he was just happy their wasn't force behind the swings. He was almost certain it would hurt. "Keep track of your stuff Dust, understood?" 

"Sorry boss... Really Classy?"

"I was bored and your conversation was irrelevant. Anyway Dust, got any food in this gloomy castle?" He remained silent for a moment as Nightmare faced Classic, his head tilted slightly.

"As in Classic? The original?" 

"Why is everyone so surprised? Like, sure... I was neutral once, but that gets old. So Nightmare, mind if I join?" Everyone gave questioning looks before Nightmare spoke carefully, as if scoping out the situation.

"Why join?"

"Why else other than to be with Dust. Personally don't care about your rivalry with the Star Sanses, but I refuse to go separate ways with My Dust." A lingering silence ensued before Nightmare hissed, the bone wedging further as Classic was released. He teleported once more by Dust, leaning into his embrace with a wide smirk. 

"I don't think it's bad to have another on our side Nightmare." Error's voice drew all gazes before Nightmare sighed heavily.

"Whatever. You can join, but Dust best keep you under control." Classic snickered as he stuck his tongue out, both him and Dust vanishing as a tentacle shot toward their position. Once gone, Nightmare groaned. "Why do I feel this place just got more annoying..."

"Probably cause we've another trickster in our ranks. Least he's strong." A nod was all Error received before both turned to head more into the castle. Neither were in the mood to reveal the truth, so they planned to ignore it. The other two were already aware of the potential ally, just mentally scarred from previous events. Cross was the only one left unaware and no one in particular felt the need to speak to him personally.

"Life just got so much more entertaining as well as bothersome..." Error walked beside Nightmare, chuckling lightly as the two entered the living room to find Cross sitting before the television. They sighed quietly, separating as Nightmare headed upstairs, leaving Error to head toward the kitchen.
