My one ray of sunshine

Blind and binds

Inks pov

I wake up and begin to stir. I'm only able to move my hands slightly before there is resistance. Lots of it. It wakes me up immediately, beginning to pull harder.
I look at my hands, seeing cloth binds wrapped around my wrists, connecting them to the bedframe. There are some around my ankles and chest too. In a frantic panic, I begin to look around the room. Everything seems in place, until I look to the side and up. There was a skeleton in black pants.  I know its a skeleton since I can see their ankles and hands, just no face.
There is a sigh and a gentle closing of a book. A small thump of the thick book being placed onto another surface, then someone standing. They make thier way over and sit beside me on the bed.

"Don't make me sedate you, again" Dream said coldly, placing a hand on my chest. It's a threat, not a comfort.  Those hands have the power to put me out again.
He watches me for a moment before nodding at my calmer behaviour. "Good," he praises gently, standing up. "You slept through diner and breakfast. I'm going to make lunch. Want the telly on?" he asked, turning it on before I can say anything. He puts on a Disney movie, knowing its a comfort for me.
"Is anyone else here?" I ask him, my voice a bit hoarse.

"Hm?" He asked taking a second before looking at me "Oh, no. Everyone left a few hours ago. Most when we bound you down. Sci was checking on you every few hours. I'll tell everyone youre awake," He said, a bit absentmindedly before leaving. 

It takes a moment before the first song to start, the girl singing about her day. Its loud and my head hurts. It feels like the noises are driving a pickaxe into my head. The bounds will be untied soon, and I will be able to do, well, anything.  The girl is done singing on the screen when Blue comes in the room.
He looks hesitant, like I'm a wild animal about to launch. He quickly shakes it and comes over to sit on the edge of the bed, facing me.
"Hey buddy," He smiled, taking my hand "You feeling okay?"

"Yeah.. Can you take these off?" I beg, pulling on the binds. His eyes widen and his mouth opens, beginning to speak. The door opens and Dream comes in with a bowl. He also sits beside me, more higher, in line with my torso. This prompts Blue to move to the other side of me, almost in line with Dream. It feels intimating.

"Open" Dream cooes, holding the spoon close to my mouth. I look at him, weirded out.
"Dream...I can do it. Just take off the binds"

"He was asking for the before you came in" Blue tells Dream, who just sighs and puts the bowl down.

"Baby boy, you're gonna be like this for a few days," He explained "We need you safe"
"I am safe," I yell
"No, you're not. We had to drag you back home yesterday.  That's not safe," he explained.

I begin to yell and pull on the binds. I'm mad, very mad. I have no words to argue, all my mind wants is out now. It feels overwhelming to be strapped down and in this room.
"Let me go!" I cry

"Should I call Pap?" Blue asked, not sure what else to do.
They begin to talk more frantically while tune them out. Something slips between my teeth and something shoots into the back of my throat. Nothing else I can do but swallow the liquid. Dream gently takes the syringe out of my mouth. It's a common way to give medication to babies and young children.

"It's a rescue med, Ink. It's gonna calm you down" Dream cooed, rubbing my head.
It works quick. Scarily quick. My body seems to be stuck in honey and it's like I'm about to fall asleep. I look at Dream, trying to speak, but all that comes out is a desperate groan.

"I know, babe. I know" he sighed and picked the bowl back up.
This is how we spend the day, me trying to move and talk, Blue rubbing my arm and Dream feeding me whatever was in that bowl.
I stare at the wall, hearing the spoon scape against the bowl one last time.
