“Something tells me you didn’t come here just to talk to me…”
Dream hadn’t known about this AU - was it even an AU? - Until Blue gave him the coordinates and said to come by within half an hour. The place was a crushing black, and he could swear he saw something shifting... all around him...
The feathers on his wings rustled slightly, a sign he was suspicious. Blue was smiling, as per usual, but there was also something hidden underneath the façade that Dream couldn’t quite pinpoint.
“Well, maybe not, ahuhu~” Blue laughed, “But I think it wouldn’t quite send the right statement to tell you elsewhere…” He trailed off. “Continuing on, I’ve got an offer I’d like to propose to you.”
Blue violated Dream’s personal space, in fact actually grabbing Dream’s hip with one hand and trailing his finger alongside Dream’s jaw with the other. The physical contact felt weird and uncomfortable. “I know you don’t like to have prisoners tortured, but I have a feeling your twin needs a little discipline for all the times he’s caused chaos and refusal for answering questions… What say?”
What the fu… Frick?
“What? No!” Dream pushed Blue away from him, taking a step back. His wings snapped opened and his feathers further rustled. That was just sick what Blue was saying!
“Hehe… I also maybe forgot to mention I’ve already hired the professional torturers… From Underfell, too, ahuhu… So, tell me, Dream. Would you rather have your brother tortured, or have you endure the pain? Because I’m sure that after I’m through with either of you, you’ll never be the same… Pick, Dream. Pick for your pack.”
Dream’s fight-or-flight immediately kicked in. He took a step back and summoned a portal. Almost instantly, Blue was behind him, grabbing his wrists. He was pulled back until he could feel Blue’s ribcage against his back. Dream felt a strange, unsettling sort of magic invade him. For a second, just a strange feeling of emptiness and icy coldness, then-
Dream gasped. Air was all around him but he could not breathe. His magic felt blocked; nothing he summoned appeared. His wings burned away in a series of sparks and magic ashes; Dream fell to the floor, wheezing and struggling to breathe in. The temperature dropped down to below freezing. Pins-and-needles pain soon overwhelmed him, filling his entire being.
He couldn’t breathe.
He couldn’t breathe.
With a snap of Blue’s fingers, the magic had disappeared. Dream breathed in, his magic returning powerfully, his wings coming back completely solidified and glowing brightly.
“Ah, such a shame you didn’t pick the first option… Well, it’s going to be a long night for you, but, hehe… I’m going to enjoy every single moment of your pain."
