“Jealous of who? Of this guy? It's not like he's more interesting than me, or that you seem to have better discussions with him.”
Tears streamed down his cheeks, forcing him to wipe them away in a swift, angry gesture. He hated crying so much when he was angry... And he had no reason to be, Killer had the right to talk to whoever he wanted. And he'd be lying if he said he didn't like seeing him happy... Even if it was by talking to a stranger who could turn out to be dangerous at any moment.
Even if this stranger seemed better than him in so many ways that he almost wondered how he dared compare himself to him: he was prettier, more magnetic, he could so easily make Killer laugh and he seemed to be the kind of daring person that Killer liked so much.
No, he wasn't jealous. He wasn't jealous because he'd never be a match for him. A fight lost in advance was still a useless fight to make.
“You're wrong,” whispered Killer. “You're more interesting than you think, and more interesting than him too. You're stronger, more loyal and more adorable than he is. And there's something you've got that he'll never have, not even in his wildest dreams.”
“What,” Cross ventured.
Killer wiped away the last of the tears with his thumb, playing over the scar several times until the former guard blushed a deep, luminous purple. Proud of himself, he placed a kiss on his teeth, gentle and almost ephemeral if he wasn't sure that his lover would still feel it over the next few hours. Then he added in a velvety voice:
“My love.”
“Cheater.”
Despite his words, Cross kissed him again, warmth in his face and butterflies in his stomach. He'd been doomed ever since he'd fallen for that silly charmer. To his great delight.
Jealousy… As I mentioned, Cross can't hide his emotions, especially something like this 💜

They're so pretty, I love the design and just the pose. Like Horror holding Dust's arm so gently and it looks like he's going to kiss his wrist ٩꒰๑• ̫•๑꒱۶♡
It's too much like Horror is on Dust's lap and just awwww ♥(✿ฺ´∀`✿ฺ)ノ
There's too much love tension in them that I wouldn't be surprised to see them kissing right afterwards ˛˛ꉂ ೭(˵¯̴͒ꇴ¯̴͒˵)౨”
I'm glad you fell for them too, I totally get this cute and pleasant curse ( ᵒ̴̶̷̤̀ुωᵒ̴̶̷̤́ू )❤”
“No one could persuade the vindictive smithing god Hephaestus to return to Olympus and free his mother Hera, who had once abandoned him as a child for his ugliness, from his trap throne; until Dionysus, the god of festivity and insanity, came and intoxicated him...”

Poor Dream, it must be hard for him. They must all be afraid of losing Aim to Error, but only Dream is totally opposed to it ╥﹏╥
Then he can always see his son (and hit the Destroyer if anything bad happens to him) (`ω ´*)ノ
Aim is such a brave kid. I hope it gets better for all of them (ノ ̄ω ̄)ノ
I really love the way you write. Keep up the good work *ଯ( ॢᵕ꒶̮ᵕ)ॢഒ*♡
This is a continuation! Please see chapter one (by me) and the prologue by @egnidres here!
@zu-is-here, and Egnidres, here's the continuation!
-oOo-
"He did what?!"
The monster appeared inside Dream once more. Shattered lunged for Nightmare.
Killer had little time to grab one of the tentacles and hold him back, but somehow, he managed.
Nightmare stood perfectly still, not even flinching as Shattered's tentacles came centimeters from his face. He held his head high and stared the curse that consumed his brother dead in the eye.
Aim wasn't supposed to be watching. He was told to wait inside as the adults discussed the surprise meeting from Error outside. However, that didn't stop him from watching out an open window as quietly as he could. He felt bad that it caused his father to crack again. He hated seeing Shattered cover Dream in endless black goop. Aim himself had decided to accept the deal... as soon as he could find Error. Despite what his parents said, he wanted to get revenge on the assassin and destroy him, even if the destroyer took his life for it.
He was tired of being babysat. He was tired of being watched. He would no longer stand around and be treated like a child. He wasn't five anymore; he was thirteen. It was time he was treated as such.
"I told you to protect him! And you let Error, out of all people, find him?! How could you?!" Dream cried. Half his face was still Shattered, but both sides were still furious.
Nightmare's gaze contained irritation. He stood with his arms crossed, observing Dream. "I told him I would wait to discuss it with you," he inquired. "He should be back shortly for your decision."
"After my decision?!" Dream hissed, breaking free from Killer's grasp. "My decision is obvious! Absolutely not!"
"Don't write off Error's offer like that just because he's Error!" Nightmare cried. "He would do a much better job defending Aim than Killer ever could!"
Killer rolled his eyes. "Rude."
"He would murder my son!" Dream hissed. "Before or after the deal is done, you can't trust him, you're a fool for even conversing with him!"
Killer watched Nightmare's eyes flash blue. He backed up, pulling out his knives in defense. Usually, Killer would be all for a brawl, but something about Nightmare's blue eye unsettled him.
The blue eye terrified Aim. He had never seen it in his uncle before. Why was Dream so upset at Nightmare? Why was Nightmare getting upset? Was he not hearing everything that was said between the two?
"Dream, Ink is after Aim. Error is the only one who can solely protect him," Killer grimaced, disgusted to admit that he was powerless against the painter. "I... I think we should accept the deal."
Before Dream could retaliate, Nightmare uttered the dreaded words himself. "I agree with Killer. I think we should."
"No," Dream twitched with irritation, trying to fight the curse and shove it back. Shattered fought, wanting to stay in control. It resulted in a half-and-half face on the positive. "I trusted my old friend, and he killed my husband. I will not make the same mistake with your old friend!"
Nightmare seemed just as angry. "Ink will never stop hunting Aim! Error is the only one who can defeat him! I know Error, and if there is anything that he hates more than anomalies, it's Ink! I know he's unreliable, but would you rather put him in Ink's hands or Error's?"
"Neither!" Dream grabbed Nightmare's shoulders and shoved him back, about to spring on him. "I'm going to protect my son-"
But tentacles intervened Shattered.
Aim watched in horror as the negative was also consumed with goop, retaliating at Shattered. Nightmare grabbed Shattered's tentacles with his own, his face melting at the positive. He hissed violently, his presence quenching Dream's as if it had been coupled up in a cage for many years.
When Dream saw the curse on Nightmare, his eyes widened in fright. The curse immediately left him as he stared at his brother. He started to cry. "W-Why didn't you tell me?"
The purple returned to Nightmare's eyes once more. He took a step back and looked at his own hands, terrified. The goop suddenly disappeared, and he was his normal self once more.
"I thought we were done with the secrets," Killer narrowed his eyes. "All of you! Not only did you keep all this from each other, but you kept it from Aim! He has the right to know! He could have the curse, too, for all you know! You guys kept the secret that you were still struggling. It only hurt the family! Look where it's brought us now!"
Aim's uncle glanced down at the ground. "I wanted to tell you that you weren't alone in your fight, brother," he sighed. "Just because you couldn't keep the curse inside didn't mean you had to ignore your son for seven years. But it would have only overwhelmed you. And right now, you seemed overwhelmed. Let me make this choice for Aim. I-"
Aim didn't hear anymore. He closed the window and sat on a nearby chair. Unlike his father, he had thought it over. There was nothing else that Aim wanted more; he wanted to kill Ink. He wanted to make them pay. If that meant teaming up with an evil killer and dying afterward, so be it.
It was reckless, but he removed his fear with his own power. Little did he know how dangerous that was.
Aim wandered over to the front door and stepped outside. Dream, Nightmare, and Killer seemed to have calmed down. They were all sitting down on the lime grass, conversing quietly. Dream perked his head up when he heard Aim's footsteps near. His eyes softened. "Aim, honey, we are almost done. Please go back inside-"
"I'm accepting Error's offer."
The three adults stared at him in shock. Nightmare and Killer looked relieved, but Dream was in denial. "No, you're not. You don't know what you're getting yourself into-"
"I'm not five anymore, Dad!" Aim cried. "I've heard enough to know what Error is capable of, and I don't care. I know Ink wants me for my power, and I know he will attack again. None of you can protect me, but Error can. Not only that, but Error will help me kill him to avenge my dad!"
"Revenge is not the answer," Nightmare commented. "I learned that the hard way."
"But you want him dead too, uncle," Aim interjected.
"Smart kid," Killer added. "He's right. We do want the painter dead." Killer put his knives away. "We don't really have a choice, either."
"Good job being the voice of reason," the negative smirked.
Killer smirked his iconic grin back. "I try."
"I can't allow it!" Dream shook his head, his eyes shaking. "Aim, I can't lose you too..."
"You can't protect me forever," Aim answered. "The best way to protect me is to accept this deal. And I'm going to."
"L-L-Look a-at that, a-a-anamonly #241 is a-already smar-rter than y-you a-all."
Despite only meeting him once, Aim memorized that voice by heart. He-along with the adults-turned around to see the destroyer staring at them. His arms were crossed and his robe blew in the wind. He glitched in and out of code, but his gaze remained steady.
"Leave," Dream hissed, standing up as his tentacles appeared again.,
"Looks l-l-like you d-don't have c-c-control o-over this s-situation any-ymore, Dre-SHattered," Error mocked. "The b-boy has d-decided, has h-he not?"
"No, he-"
"I have," Aim interjected. "I accept your offer, Destroyer-"
"E-E-Error works f-fine," Error rolled his eyes.
Nightmare walked over to where Dream hung his head low as tears streamed down his face. His uncle hugged the positive closely. "This is our only choice," he whispered slowly. "It's going to be okay..."
"I-I'm not k-kidnapping h-him, i-idiots!" Error hissed. "I-I will v-visit f-frequently to t-train h-him here. W-Why is t-t-that an is-ssue, Dream?"
Dream death-stared Error through his grief-stricken eyes. "I don't trust you..."
"Y-Y-You d-don't h-have a c-choice," The smile that appeared on the destroyer's face shook Aim's soul. He stretched his hand out to the boy. "Come, b-boy, we'll make h-h-history."
Aim stared at the hand. This was it. The moment he would start his path to revenge. The moment he would stop being treated like a child. The moment there would no longer be any secrets.
Aim accepted Error's hand, which made the destroyer glitch. Time warped around him as everything appeared white around him. His family faded as well as the setting around him.
It was the choice that marked his destiny.
He's perfect o((*^▽^*))o
