Asylum [Dust X Horror] (Collab with me and BlueTechLunatic34)

Chapter 5

Recall

Horror nodded, smiling his calm, yet murderous smile.

"Yes. I like having you around. So let's go find that doctor. I'm going to kill him. He's the one who tried to...rape me. But first, I need him to undrug me. C'mon Dust. Let's do this." Horror smiled, standing up. His eye glowed the gleaming red that Dust admired so much, and Horror looked off into the darkness.

Recall End

Dust growled lowly, standing up as well, not taking his gaze off of Horror's eyelight, finding the sight hypnotic and strangely gorgeous.

"We'll make sure he dies the most painful death, then," Dust assured sweetly, a dark undertone to his voice.

'I'm going to tear off his arms. Maybe boil him alive while I'm at it.'

Horror nodded, smiling. Then, he reached out Dust, as if offering him a way to get up.

"Once this doctor undrugs me, things will be alot easier. I'll be able to use magic. And then, I'll be able to find the keyholder, get this muzzle off, and somehow escape." Horror suggested, giving Dust a sudden questioning look.

"Um. Do you have any BONES to pick with anyone here?" Horror asked, chuckling at his own joke, yet still being serious about the question.

Dust laughed softly at the pun, taking Horror's hand.

"Only the assholes who hurt you," he muttered protectively, his expression going darker than it already was.

"I have quite the bone to pick with them, I must say. They're all going to die horrible deaths."

Horror looked directly into Dust's eyes, as if Horror could see into Dust's soul. And Horror shook his head, chuckling.

"Why are you so hateful of them? I mean, I hate them too. I'm going to kill them. But still. We've only just met, and yet you care this much. Not that I'm judging, I do too. But why?" Horror pondered, waiting for Dust to take his hand.

Dust laughed uneasily, taking Horror's hand, standing up, rubbing the back of his neck anxiously.

"...I dunno why I care so much...But I do. I... I really care about you and... It's... Haha... Kinda scary....Emotions are... Hard," Dust whispered, his thoughts broken, his eyelights downcast as he tried to articulate what he was thinking.

Horror nodded calmly, understanding partially.

"When I first met you, I was immediately interested in you. You weren't scared of me, didn't want to do STUFF to me, and you didn't see me as terrifyingly insane. So I was satisfied by you. And as you followed me, you grew on me. So I ended up trusting you." Horror calmly ranted. "That's kinda how it is for the both of us, right?"

Dust smiled, almost shyly, his soul fluttering slightly from Horror's words.

"Right," he said softly, squeezing the other's hand gently.

'He's right. It's mutual trust. Just that, nothing more. Nothing more, not love-'

He cut his thoughts off, jolting slightly, his eyes going wide.

'It's not... No... No, I can't...'

Dust started shaking lightly at the thought of love, his soul throbbing.

'No...'

Horror nodded, seeing a dark blush form on Dust' s skull.

"Or not? Or we both secretly are lovers, on a quest to conquer evil?" Horror asked chuckling. Horror liked seeing Dust blush, so this was a hilarious opportunity.
