Murderous Desire {Dust x Reader}

Relaxed Smoking

~(Y/N)'s POV~

I chuckled and smiled, walking to stand beside him. He tensed slightly, sucking in a small breath. He must've been anxious or something , so I didn't rush him at all. He glanced over, an uneasy look on his face. "Dust, it's fine, okay? I'm not mad or anything. Just here to give you that kiss you so desperately wanted." His cheeks turned a light shade of purple, and a smile tugged on his mouth. He glanced at the door before leaning close and pressing his teeth to my lips.

I smiled softly, his breath smelled like smoke. And he was so clearly shy about this. It really was adorable. We stayed like that before he pulled back, bright purple this time. He was definitely smiling, even if it was flustered and shy. I snorted and rolled my eyes, leaning against his arm. "You're really cute, you know that?" "W-Whatever man..." I laughed, looking over at him quizzically. "Did you just call your lover 'man'? Does that mean I start calling you 'homie' or something?"

He pouted, his blush not dying down anytime soon. "Shut up, (Y/N)...or I'll bite you or something..." I snorted, nudging his side. "Maybe I'm into that, cutie~" He sputtered nonsense, batting me away with his hand. I could only keep laughing- what a dork! It took a while to calm my laughter, but by then, Dust was just staring at me with a cute little smile. I could feel myself flush, chuckling awkwardly. "Like what you see or something, Dust?"

~Dust's POV~

As my teeth connected with their lips, my whole Soul felt like it was exploding- but in a good way? Like it was full and warm and it was honestly really fucking weird. I still couldn't get over the fact I was dating a human...humans disgusted me, all of them. And here I was, kissing one. Dating one. It was...weird. I'm sure Boss might get it, with the whole "empath" thing or whatever, but I wanted to talk about announcing our relationship with (Y/N) first...Ugh, why are emotions so gross and messy and complicated??

I pulled back to look at them, and I was immediately getting nervous again. They were so...so hot. So pretty and handsome and it just...wow. Their skin was breathtaking, their hair was so soft looking...and those eyes. I felt like they saw right through me. Like no matter what lie or front I would put up, they would immediately figure out it was true. And it was...weird. On one end, I felt like they would make talking about shit easier. On the other? They would be a fucking terrifying enemy to have.

Still...I couldn't help but smile. They weren't my enemy, they were my partner. And that was nice. They suddenly snorted and rolled their eyes, smirking. They leaned against my arm, the warmth from their body immediately comforting me. "You're really cute, you know that?" I felt my Soul skip a beat- I liked when they complimented me. "W-Whatever man..." And then they laughed. Not in a mocking, teasing way but...but in a really nice way? I can't really explain it. But it sounded like heaven to my non-existent ears.

"Did you just call your lover 'man'? Does that mean I start calling you 'homie' or something?" An unintentional pout formed on my face, my skull still hot and probably super damn purple. "Shut up, (Y/N)...or I'll bite you or something..." They snorted and nudged me softly. "Maybe I'm into that, cutie~" I tried to come up with another smart-ass remark, but ended up stuttering too much. Of course, the idea of them enjoying something like that came to mind so I panicked! They laughed again, smiling brightly as they did.

I could really only stare at them. Admire them. They really were the most attractive human I'd ever seen. More appealing than any monster I'd ever seen either. There was just something about them that was irresistible to me. They caught me staring after a while, and damn, I didn't even regret it. Their cheeks darkened a shade in blush, and it was probably one of the cutest things I'd ever fucking seen. They chuckled a little, finally speaking up, "Like what you see or something, Dust?"

~(Y/N)'s POV~

He put his cigarette out in the ashtray and left the bug in it, his hands going to his pockets. He turned away from me, almost mumbling. "No shit, (Y/N)..." I flushed more, turning away from him as well. I couldn't tell if this was an awkward silence or a comfortable, gay silence, so I pretty much stayed quiet. I felt an arm go around my shoulders, which only could've been Dust. I moved closer to him so I could lean against him again, taking up the warmth from the pile of bones.

He leaned his skull on mine, mumbling again. "Thanks...for being so patient with me...I know I'm not exactly the most level-headed or mature but...it means a lot..." I let out a small breath in amusement. "It's worth it." That was all that needed to be said, it seemed. We just stayed there and watched the world get blanketed by darkness, night taking a hold of the universe and not letting go. It was peaceful. It was calm. It was relaxed...until Papyrus kicked the door open and stepped outside.

Dust quickly moved his arm back and shoved his hand in his pocket, going rigid. I just stood straight and glanced over. Papyrus was smiling, seeming to be in a very good mood. "HUMAN! MY BEDROOM IS OFFICIALLY SAFE FOR YOUR FLESHY BODY TO SLEEP IN!" I chuckled good-naturedly and smiled, giving him a thumbs up. "Thanks Papyrus...where are you going to sleep?" "WITH SANS IN HIS ROOM, OF COURSE! HE'S ALREADY ASLEEP, SO I'M TAKING THE LIBERTY OF CLEANING THAT DISGUSTING MESS WHILE HE CANNOT STOP ME!"

"Where...am I sleeping?" Dust's voice was quiet, and slightly shaky. I could tell he was worried about Cross and I sharing Papyrus's bed. Well, I could assume, at least. "WITH (Y/N) MOST LIKELY! CROSS HAS ALREADY CLAIMED THE COUCH." The small, nearly inaudible sigh of relief was all I needed to know my assumption was right. "Yeah, you can bunk with me," I said, as chill as possible. He nodded and tried his best to remain calm and collected, even if a small smile twitched onto his face.

We were soon back into the warmth of Sans and Papyrus's house, greeted immediately to Cross in his boxers laying on the couch. He waved from his laying down position. "Night you two, see you in the morning." Dust nodded and started walking up to Papyrus's room, as the taller skeleton had already stalked into Sans's. "Uh, hey (Y/N)? Can I actually talk to you real quick?" Dust flinched, but didn't stop walking until he was in Papyrus's room, where he promptly shut the door.

I sighed quietly and nodded. "Sure thing, man," I said, sitting on the arm of the couch. "What's up?" "Well uh...I'm honestly kinda worried...about Killer? He's not back yet and...and you know..." He fumbled with his hands, his face showing clear worry. I patted his shoulder, trying to give him a reassuring smile. "Then wait for him, Cross. If he's not back by, like...two, come get one of us to go with you to look for him. Or maybe shoot him a text?" "I did, he didn't answer...it's been like twenty minutes..."

"Text him again. After that, call him. I'm sure he's alright, Cross. You all seem pretty strong and badass." "Heh, thanks, dude...sorry for keeping you here- I just know Dust would've given some stupid asshole response or something, so you were, like, the only other choice-" We shared a chuckle, saying goodnight one last time before I could finally get to Papyrus's room. Immediately after the door was closed, Dust wrapped me in a big hug. "What did he say?" "He's worried about Killer, Dust...he wasn't hitting on me or anything."

He relaxed a little, but didn't let go. "Dust?" "I wanna cuddle...can we..?" I chuckled and nodded, telling him he needed to let me go first. I pulled my shirt off, deciding to keep my shorts. I had already taken my shoes off at the door (because that's just common respect), so I was already pretty good for bed. Dust stared at my chest, apologizing when he got caught. He took his jacket off with some hesitation, his shirt following. After a few awkward moments of us laying on our sides, facing each other, he pulled me closer to him, his skull on my chest. I held him close, and our cuddling commenced.

Yes, a somewhat-normal writing schedule! And a very fluffy chapter owo
