Chapter 19 : Crows island

Third person POV

Red and Dust left early to join Black and Blueberry. Error is carrying Ink on his back to set him in the water again.

Blueberry is hugging Dust, who strokes his skull, while Red pouts because Black hugs him... Well, he pouts, but he lets him do as he pleases.

Meanwhile, at the mansion, Killer, Horror, Dream and Nightmare ask Reaper if they have a way to leave.

Reaper who is hugging Geno from behind and covers them with his wings.

Nightmare POV

Reaper : Yeah, I have a way to bring you back to the island, but I will need time for it to be ready.

Killer : As long as we can go home.

Horror : I hope Plum is alright...

Killer : Gosh, you are an overprotective boyfriend... He is fine. And he has Farmer with him too.

Horror : Hm... Ok...

He leaves to continue being concerned about his Plum.

Killer sighs.

Dream : You could have been softer, Killer..

Killer : ...

Geno : He can't.

We turn to Geno.

Killer : I am going to check on everyone, while you give them a story time.

He leaves. He is upset ?

Dream : What do you mean ?

Geno : ... Killer suffers from dissociative identity disorder. His soul changes shape depending on said personality... Unfortunately for us, it is always the alter in command. Not the original Killer. The original is softer and kinder, the alter is... Frank, let's say. He is less compassionate. It was a blessing for his assassin work.

Nightmare : ... (So, was I with the "original" Killer ?) Does his soul look like an upside-down heart ?

Geno jolts.

Geno : Yes it does... Did you...

Nightmare : His soul took that form while I was with him.

Geno : ... ... Oh~

Nightmare : (I feel like I made a terrible mistake.)

Dream : What is wrong ?

Geno : Nothing, nothing. It just could be Killer has a sweet spot for Nightmare.

I blush.

Reaper : Really ?

Geno : I think. Dust and Horror know him better than me, but they never saw Killer, since Alter formed, from what I heard.

Dream : ...

I know that look. I know what those starry eyes mean. I fucked up. Dream grabbed me and ran off.

Dream : See you !

He runs as fast as possible, dragging me. We quickly get by the coast.

Dream : Dust !

He looks up from Blueberry. Black also looks at us.

Dust : Yeah ?

Dream : Can we ask you questions about Killer ?

I blush brightly and hide my face in my hands.

Dust : ... What ?

Dream explains to him while I hide my face in my hands. Dust listens quietly.
