Lust (BTH)

After this, I might start writing some Drue instead, it has been a while since I have not.

It would be fluff; pretty sure it's going to delight some people.

Synopsis: "I do not think I really need to say that you are both 'excused' from your duties at Justice Reigns." The woman looked away, biting her lip. While she did look upset, at least she had the awareness and wits to not add anything lest it complicates the already messy situation they were in.

Wits, that her accomplice clearly did not possess.

"I suppose I don't need to spell to you how much in trouble you two are?" Dream's voice seemed to echo in the empty room, his arms crossed around his chest and eyes icy cold as he stared down at the two trembling cowards in front of him. "You really have some nerves to come report in my office that nothing is wrong while doing something as heinous as this behind my back."

Each of his words was laced with venom and the sharpness of his voice felt like each word was being stabbed into them. They could do nothing but nod.

He snapped his head upward with a loud and incredulous 'What?!' that had the woman giving him her best horrified expression. Before she could hope to stop him, he let out one of the most ridiculous and offensive sentences that Blue had ever heard being said to Dream under his nose.

"You can't do that!" Blue took back anything he said about this man being smart, all the preparation he witnessed has been the work of luck instead. "Making criminals pay for their actions is what you are aiming for, right? We only acted like you wanted us to!"

Blue visibly cringed at the hopeful eyes of the idiot who just uttered those words. Thinking that this could possibly please Dream in any way was not even a skill issue at this point, Blue was starting to wonder just how in the world he had gotten this job.

He turned to glance at Dream who was definitely having trouble restraining himself from doing something Blue would not like to witness. Such as a stab, to name a few.

"So, betraying my trust, ganging up on one criminal while letting the others get anything they wanted as long as said criminal was being tormented, letting others in our hold run free for a little while and causing trouble was what I wanted you to do?" Dream raised an eyebrow, his tone even more venomous somehow.

At least the former master of the dungeons realized his mistake as he looked down. Seeing that Dream was even more pissed now, his assistant seemed to have finally given up any kind of dignity or loyalty she had.

"I didn't want to do it!" she suddenly exclaimed, making the other snap his head toward her. "I did not want to, but he forced me to! He said he would get my husband jailed if I did not cooperate with him! Please, My Lord, you must believe me!"

"You bitch! You are speaking nonsense, you agreed to that from the beginning! You said you would do it because of--"

"You're the one lying!" Dream's non-existent patience was really starting to run thin.
