Mind broken (Cross Over Fic)

🪡Stitched Mouth 🪡

The next day Henrik was watching over the two mindless villains, who were sitting in the corner of the room staring at the void. They looked as if they were waiting for directions to follow or mimic since they can only do what the other does. The other's had gone out to either find a way to fix them, or run errands for the house; all though, some wanted to keep Anti and Dream as puppets so they can't hurt anyone anymore. Henrik stared at the two before getting an idea, he opened a drawer near by and picked up a needle and thread "I think it's time you understand how JJ feels-" he said is he walked over to  Anti, who just barely looked at him without a single emotion shown, and xe stayed silent as Henrik stuck the needle through xes lips sewing them shut.

In the mindspace Anti was crying in pain from the needle pierced xes skin, Dream and the others did their best to comfort xem. Anti clang to Dream's orange prison shirt with hot tears running down xes cheeks. It hurt to cry, but the needle was more painful. Xe didn't trust anyone else but Dream, despite that they are the reason they're suck as mindless puppets.

Henrik finished sewing and cleaned up any blood from Anti's sewn mouth and the needle, he put the thread and needle away before Sam and Dark walked into the house. Henrik quickly put a black mask on Anti so they wouldn't see xes mouth “hello, you two seem to be home early. You left only ten minutes ago”

“Well everyone seemed to have everything under control so we didn’t think we needed to be there” Dark said as he noticed Anti’s mask “what's with the mask?”.

Henrik panicked “I didn’t even notice the mask” He said hesitantly.

“it wasn’t there when we left and you’ve been with them the whole time” Sam said knowing something is off. Dark walked over to Anti and pulled the mask down showing xes sewn mouth. The room stood silent, Henrik was scared he’d get in big trouble. He went to speak but was interrupted.

“You didn’t have to lie about giving Anti a proper punishment” Dark said looking at Henrik.

He was surprised “Wait, you're not mad?”

“why would I be mad that my enemy is being punished?” Dark said with a straight face.

“fair point”.

Sam walked over to Dream “what do we do with him?” he said, gesturing to Dream.

“not sure, I don’t know much of him” Dark said pondering what to do.

“He did commit multiple war crimes,” Sam said to persuade Dark.

“Hmm, he doesn’t look as dangerous as Anti, so I don’t see any reason to do anything to him,” Dark said looking at Dream, not believing Sam.

Meanwhile in the mindscape, Anti was curled up in a “corner” of the void, facing away from everyone else with Dream next to xem. Dream was comforting xem, but it didn’t change the fact that Anti couldn’t speak anymore. They tried removing the stitching but with no luck. They figured that anything that happens to them outside of the mindscape can not be changed inside the mindscape. Anti was in a lot of pain, from xes tears worsaing xes glitching, to the pain of xem just moving xes mouth, and that xe had no way of communicating. Xe did know sign language from JJ, but xe doesn’t know if anyone in the mindscape does. While Anti was thinking xe felt a warm hug, it was Dream who had hugged xem. Anti had forgotten how touch starved xe was and relaxed into the hug. Xe didn’t want Dream to let go of xem. Dream gently petted Anti’s head. Anti started to make a purring sound.

Dream was surprised by this since he was the only one who could hear xem “you can purr?” he whispered to xem. Anti nodded as xe hid xes face in Dream’s chest “I think it’s cute” he said, continuing to pet Anti.
