A second chance(Lust sans was Angel Dust au)

Chapter 9: Feeling like a spider

It was dark, and lonely. Killer wasn't around Nightmare hadn't been in the castle for a while. It was so quiet in the castle, Lust didn't know what to think about all this then the door swung open "You have a lot of explaining to do princess." The dark and angry voice of a king, he's heard it before "What did Violet tell you." Nightmare snapped his fingers the candles that lit the room were lit once more. He walked over to the bed "Nothing of substance except...Violet did say you forced yourself into dangerous situations, before you should have. You always took care of them didn't you princess, they were your top priority." Lust shrinks back under the covers "Protecting them, providing for them, making sure they'd never have to be whores to survive." He approached the bed further "You became a massive slut so they didn't have to."

Lust glared "What's your point by saying all of this you bitch." "My point is...I don't want you to feel like that again princess, nor will I ever want anything to happen to you. Which is why, from now on if we're together I won't play off your feelings, but first I need to to answer me another question."

Lust took a glance at Nightmare "Angel Dust." He froze "What did you just-," Nightmare sighed "So the name does mean something to you, I was informed that you had visited Science sans multiple times about your soul. The odd flakes of Determination the fact that you were able to push yourself to a breaking point and make yourself stronger...it's fascinating to me, you have barely any LV and yet you have 2hp higher than an average sans." Lust looked down "That's not to say you don't have any LV, or EXP you do, and that much is clear to me." Nightmare sighed "But I need to know...do you remember anything from that life?" Lust shook his head "Only small things." Nightmare sighed "Of course well then."

Lust blinked "What?" "I might have to help you remember this past life of yours m-," Nightmare corrected himself "Princess."  "How would you even do that?" "Simple tell me Lust what do you remember from this life?" Lust thought for a moment "My past life...I was in a mob family, my sister and mother were there my brother and father hated me..." Lust looked at the floor "I remember a kill in the back of an alley, blood everywhere blood on my gloves and face my father and brother congratulated me but I wasn't proud of myself, I remember people I knew who got me into hardcore drugs..." Lust sighed "And then I remember one night I took it too far." Lust fidgeted with his gloves "But why do you want to-," Nightmare lifted Lust's chin by one tendril "Because I care about you...the name Valentino...that means something to you."

Lust grabbed the nearest pillow and hugged it tightly "Yes..." "are you willing to tell me what it means to you?" He shook his head "No." Nightmare sighed "Fine then princess, I'll find out myself." Lust looked at the floor then sunk back into his bed "Goodnight..."

Nightmare stood there for a while waiting for a response, knocking on a door to a castle of the god of death, Reaper, how perfect. "Yes?" Reaper gently opened the door to see Nightmare "Hi." "Oh it's you...enter I suppose just don't touch me." Nightmare laughed "My form is already dead you cannot kill me Reaper, but in any case." Nightmare sighed "I need to ask a favor, you have a friend that knows a lot of powerful magic correct?" Reaper slowly nodded "I do, he knows a lot about certain things except... he doesn't exactly well, care much about people, he's a sans sure but he's jaded." "His name." "Heh that's the thing he goes by a lot of different names but try...Desi, he answers to that one."

Reaper opened a portal to Desi's pocket dimension not knowing what to expect this skeleton had magic strong enough to open a brief portal to where Nightmare wished to go but how he would get back, he still had no idea. "Desi?" There was a crack of bones and one heart shaped eye looking down at Nightmare "Who enters my domain?" The skeleton looked at him observed him "Nightmare, king of negativi-" "Spare the theatrics will you? Honestly if I have one more guardian claim a crown I think I'll explode." Desi droned on. "You're here because of little Lusty correct?" "'Little Lusty'?" Desi groaned "Yes, your latest pet, your 'princess' as I've heard it said, I regret to inform you that my powers are not allowed to bring the living to hell." Desi explained "Who are you...really?"

A grin appeared in the darkness of the pocket  "Me~? Why I'm the whole reason Underlust is in existence." Desi laughed "Well not the whole reason, but I'm part of it." Suddenly he was right next to Nightmare with a different form "Sweet innocent little Nightmare, crushed by the bullying of wicked humans and monsters, all because Dream refused to stand up to them." Desi chuckled "I know a little too much about you and your situation right now Nightmare. You're trying to help Lust remember his past...I suggest you stop." Desi warned.

"Why?" There was a heavy wind in the pocket "Because if you don't stop and leave well enough alone, Someone will have to answer for all this, his soul was released he was dead but then sent into another body, one that would test him." Desi sighed "You want answers?" Nightmare nodded "More than anything." He sighed "Fine I'll tell you, you keep this all a secret form your 'princess'." Nightmare nodded "aye aye." Desi scoffed but began to explain.

"In his life he was apart of a massive mob family, his father was the patriarch, the one in charge of it all, his mother made sure they kept up appearances but as it turned out...appearances couldn't be kept up forever and eventually he had no choices anymore because of his life in the mob he couldn't escape his family, they were always there, watching his every move turning to vices, drugs alcohol anything to make his loneliness disappear, then all of a sudden he found a cure...but that didn't last, he went too far and got fucked up on a bottle of pills, dying of an overdose..." Desi sighed "Do you want the rest of the story." "Yes."

Desi groaned "Fine." He sighed heavily before continuing "His life led him to appear differently when he arrived in hell an effeminate spider bloody cloths and eight eyes, after years he landed a decent job...or so he thought, he ended up working for one of the most ruthless pimps in hell...Valentino, cruel and dangerous to all of his employees and business partners. He took advantage of A, Lust's naïveté and broke him. Desi sighed "Many many years had passed on, eventually A- Lust was able to get away from him but that didn't last long...until one day a battle had occurred, between the princess of hell, and the leader of the exterminators." Desi groaned "A sinner had ended up in heaven proving the princess right, the princess managed to save his soul, but alas heaven had no place for sluts. So he was brought to a trial and given a chance to prove his redemption worked..." Nightmare blinked "Lust was someone else..." Nightmare sighed. "Thank you Desi." "Yeah yeah now get the fuck out."
