My Villain [Dust Sans x Reader]

Chapter 21. ~Uh Oh.~

"Am I interrupting something?" Nightmare asked, his tendrils swaying irritably. Killer, Horror, Error, and Cross stood behind him.

"YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT LAYING A GOOPY HAND ON Y/N AND I WILL KILL YOU, YOU STUPID SHITBALL OF NEGATIVITY." Dust snarled, pulling me behind him.

Nightmare smirked and snapped his fingers. I let out a yelp was I was teleported to his side. He wrapped a tendril around my neck. "Oh, will you?" He sneered. "If you take another step, I'll snap your precious girlfriend's neck."

Dust froze.

Nightmare's grip on me was tight enough so I couldn't move or speak, but he wasn't really choking me. I tried to shake my head at Dust, pleading mentally that he'd understand.

You have to get Dream! I thought desperately.

He just stared at Nightmare, his eye flaring purple and yellow. His fists clenched. "What do you want with her?"

"Well, as a matter of fact, it's not her I want." Nightmare said, his tendril tightening around me.

"Then let her go."

Nightmare flicked a tentacle and then dropped me. Killer immediately rushed forward and held a knife to my neck as soon as I stood up. I let out a little squeak.

Dust inhaled sharply. "Then what do you want?"

Nightmare didn't respond. His gaze was fixed on me.

"If- If I go with you, will you let Dust g-go?" I stuttered as Killer pushed the blade against my throat, warning me to stay quiet.

"I already said. It's not you I want, darling." Nightmare grinned. "Alright, if you wanted to come, I could allow that."

"You're not taking her anywhere, you bastard." Dust growled.

"You can't do much to stop me." Nightmare flicked a tendril again. "Considering if you try, Killer will slit her throat and she'll be dead before you can blink."

Dust looked furious, but he didn't move. "Then what do you want? If you don't want her, do you want Dream? He's not here right now."

"I don't want my pathetic brother." Nightmare spat.

"THEN TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT!" Dust ran forward but stopped as his gaze flickered to me.

Nightmare chuckled. "I want you."

Dust paused. "What?"

"I want you, Dust. I want you back."

"Why in Asgore's kingdom would I ever work with SOMEONE LIKE YOU AGAIN?" Dust snarled, two sharp bones appearing in his hands. Killer pushed the blade against my neck again, drawing blood this time. I felt the metallic liquid drip down my neck, and I shivered.

"You left because I hurt Y/N." Nightmare said simply. "So, what if I said I'd leave her alone if you joined me again?"

"..." Dust looked at me, sighing when he saw the blood.

"It's a simple deal, Dust." Nightmare walked closer to him. "Join me, and your girlfriend can go frolic in the fields of friendship with Dream and his idiots." He looked like he had to force those words out of his mouth.

"...Would you really leave her alone?" Dust's voice was quiet.

Nightmare just nodded.

"No, Dust, you c-can't-" I tried to lunge forward, but Killer hauled me back. Blue strings wrapped around me, keeping me in place. "You can't Dust."

Dust's grip tightened around the bones. "How can I trust you?"

I struggled against the strings as Nightmare replied. "You can't. But I guarantee I will not harm her, nor will Cross, Killer, Horror, or Error."
