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

Chapter 11

Recap:

Horror suddenly did the unexpected. He somehow summoned a single bone attack, causing the doctor to sprawl backwards. He'd been hit in the shoulder, and began cursing and glaring at Horror. 

Recap End:

Dust's eye sockets widened slightly in shock, them admiration.

'He hurt him,' he thought obviously, still too dizzy and headache-y to think properly.

The doctor gasped, before calling one of his monsters over. The monster heals the doctor, and the doctor began to stomp towards Horror.

Dust suddenly became frantic.

"N-no, don't hurt him!" Dust pleaded desperately, his eye sockets wide and full of fear.

The doctor ignored Dust's begging, stopping in front of Horror. He began cursing the skeleton under his breath. But what was most scary, was that the doctor had grabbed the same rib he pulled from earlier. He began pulling it harshly, until there was an ear-splitting crack. The doctor pulled off the broken rib, quickly holding and tying a gag over Horror's mouth. The screams were barely muffled, as bone marrow seeped out of the wound.

"STOP!-" Dust screamed in protest, tears falling at seeing Horror hurt, his soul hurting terribly.

Horror was panting in pain, out of breath, and terrified. The doctor grabbed another rib, pulling on it, until it too, broke off. My screams. More pain.

"STOP, STOP, PLEASE," Dust begged, sobbing harshly, shaking violently. His only thought was to get the doctor to stop hurting Horror, so he summoned an attack without thinking, landing it in the doctor's left leg.

The doctor screeched in pain. He then slammed his fist on the syringe he held from earlier. He approached Dust, forcefully jabbing it into his neck with a painful cracking sound, draining all Dust's strength and magic.

Dust gasped breathlessly, sagging shakily, letting out a breathy sigh, shaking slightly, but not much, too drained to even do that.

The doctor did the same to Horror, before continuing with his rib extraction. By the end, Horror had three broken or missing ribs. The rest were badly abused by pulling.

Dust was slumping more, barely conscious, but completely unable to fall asleep. His sluggish mind figured that it was probably something in the injection that was keeping him awake, so as to prolong suffering.

The doctor was finally satisfied with his first test, and so he directed his monsters over towards the skeletons. They knocked them out quickly, remuzzling and chaining the two up in a small cell together.

<Timeskip brought to you by sum fuzzy collab partners on a quest to justify Horror x Dust>

Dust was the first to regain consciousness, not surprisingly, seeing the treatment that Horror had undergone before he had even arrived.

When he opened his sockets, he saw Horror, and his breath caught horribly.

'I caused this. This is my fault. I got us caught.'

Horror had his eyes tightly shut, and his arms weakly covering his ribs. Even though the shirt gave a small cover to them, Dust could see Horror's broken ribs bleeding through. The small one was also shivering, from either fear or cold.

Dust slowly shuffled towards Horror, his movements mostly restrained by the chains he was wearing. He didn't feel as tired as before, and he figured that he had enough magic to try and heal the other, at least a little.

Dust breathed out softly, shifting his hand over Horror's damaged ribs, doing his best not to cause any further pain as he started healing the other. When he drew his hand away, Horror's ribs had at least stopped bleeding, but Dust didn't have enough magic to do anything more.

Horror weakly opened his eyes during Dust's attempt at healing the wounds, and now how just stared blankly at the wall. He looked in Dust's eyes, tears welling up.

Horror attempted to tell Dust something, but no words were understood. The gag did it's job well. Horror simply couldn't bear the pain, everything hurt. But Horror's ribs were what hurt the most. They hurt more painfully than anything that he'd ever felt in his entire life.

Dust immediately poured more magic into the other's wounds when he saw how much pain Horror was going through, not caring when he got lightheaded, just wanting to ease Horror's pain a little.

"I'm sorry," Dust whispered, tears trickling down his cheekbones. "I'm so, so sorry."

Horror slowly lifted his hand, putting it up to Dust's face. Horror's fingers wiped away the tears, and left dark puffy marks where tears had once been.

Horror then placed his hand on Dust's, lowering it and stopping the healing process. He could clearly see the pain in Dust's eyes, and he didn't like it one bit.

Dust's breath hitched slightly, and his eye lights turned sad.

"Horror... Please, let me heal you..." he whispered pleadingly, fresh tears replacing the ones that Horror had wiped away. "I don't want you to be in pain... Please, I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm so weak, I'm sorry for getting us caught, I'm so....so sorry"

Dust broke off into soft, muffled sobs, his soul hurting terribly.

'I'm sorry...'

Horror shook his head, conditioning towards the gag. He needed it removed after all. He had something he had to say, something he had to do. And now was the time.

Dust nodded shakily, still crying softly, feeling more guilty as he reached up, removing the gag carefully. When he managed to do so, he looked down ashamedly, ready for the other to tell him how stupid and worthless he was.

Horror took a few shakes breaths, looking at Dust. He placed his chained, bruised, broken hands on his friend's cheeks, looking nervously, yet lovingly deep into the other's eyes. 

And then, he kissed Dust.
