    Summary

    It couldn’t stop itself from inching closer, a moth to his flame, so easily walking into a possible trap. The bugs had always struck Fresh as stupid; witless beings unable to tell the moon from a light-bulb, killing themselves in pursuit of home. Was this how the moths felt? The thought came unbidden.

    Color awkwardly pet its back a few more times, mumbling to himself. “How didn’t I notice this.”

    ---

    or, Color realizes some very important facts about Fresh's diet, and the fact he's been unintentionally starving it.

    Summary

    Kind of angsty kind of gruesome, but I wanted content of Killer being real in their head about everything.

    Just in a real dark place. Not thinking straight. So detached yet so aware of everything. Just... broken.

    And then next thing they know, they're holding the lifeless body of their bunny in their arms.

    No one else is around. They hid themself away, not wanting to bother the others or hurt them. So it couldn't have been anyone else but them who did this.

    Summary

    That day had been one of those more hectic ones.

    Nightmare had appeared sitting at one of his tables with that one guy with no eye lights who always cried black tar a good thirty minutes before Ccino would have usually opened the doors to his cafe, just so nobody outside could miss their presence and rumors would spread. He had only left two hours after closing time.

    One hour after that, it was midnight already, and he’d only just finished cleaning up, shutting down all the machines, and closing the shop. All he had left to do was bring out the trash and check on the two strays he’d spotted out back recently. They hadn’t let him approach them quite yet, but they had started to feed from the food he left out for them on paper plates (when he could spare those) or cans. It was a small step, but a good one.

    Imagine his surprise when, as he went to dump two huge trash bags in the dumpster out back, he found the henchman who had accompanied the god that day asleep with their back against it and the two skittish strays cuddled up on their lap, purring up a storm.

    or, Ccino finds three strays out back and decides to do something about it

    Summary

    Stage Two wasn't the type to get insecure; that's what they told themselves. Stage One concerned himself enough with that crap for all of them combined. So, it goes without saying that, when they whispered: "You prefer spending time with the others, don't you?" in a voice so soft, uncertain, and quiet that Color almost missed it, they hadn't meant it as an admission of their weakness, but as a statement of fact.

    Stage Two knew that, among all of them, they were the most unpredictable, the least trustworthy, and the least capable of emoting. They were exactly what Chara and Nightmare had wanted them to be. A weapon ready to be wielded. A tool well attuned to all of their needs and desires. A clever little bastard with flexible morals and no real attachments, perfect to be kept as a pet.

    But Color wasn't either of them.

    He was soft and kind. He didn't need a weapon, a tool, a self-sufficient pet… he needed a friend. And Two wasn't built for friendship. They had none of One’s warmth, of Three’s vicious protectiveness, or of Four’s… whatever that guy had going for it.

    -

    or, Despite what they say, Killer's Stage Two is incredibly insecure

    Summary

    “Nightmare-“ the word cut through its panicked thoughts, and it locked onto Color with more clarity. It- it had to listen if it was about Nightmare.

    Was Color returning it? Was Color angry at it for its owners actions? Did he want to start its training now, disregard what Nightmare taught it?

    “-Killer brought you here, and you’re not… you’re not his anymore.”

    ---

    or, 5 times Color though Fresh was trained to act like an animal, and 1 time he actually understood that was just how it was.

    Summary

    Color still had that pinched look on his face, though. A moment later his hand slowed its motions. That was bad. [It was bad.]

    It pushed its head against his frozen palm, letting out a whine. It tried to look pathetic before remembering Color’s didn't like it whimpering. It- it couldn’t really do something else though, too deep in the act; if it changed now it would be obviously fake. Maybe this time it would actually work?

    Color’s face went blank for a soul-stopping moment, before he started petting its forehead again, “Sorry, sorry. Just lost in thought.”

    ---

    or, Color comforts a hungry and freaked out Fresh.

    Summary

    The King didn't even acknowledge his existence, continuing to work on his journal, apparently a new archive for a universe he didn't make any archives for yet, the pages half empty. Killer didn’t interrupt, making his way to the king’s desk before standing a few meters away, patiently waiting for the king to order him to talk, or to take a look at him to permit him to.

    He could wait, he always did.

    Summary

    “You wanna be my Valentine to crash Cross’ little date?” He grinned.

    Colour’s cheeks dusted with a rainbow blush as Killer’s words processed. “You wanna be my Valentine?”

    “Well, not like that. But if anyone asks, we can just say we're Valentines. Besides, it seems like they get perks at that little fair Cross is going to.” He waved his hand dismissively.

    “So this whole idea is just to crash Cross’ date?”

    “Yep.”

    Or, Killer learns about Valentine's day and that his friend is trying to celebrate it peacefully. Not on his watch, though!

    Summary

    “Hello my darling tool, did you miss me?” for as saccharine as Nightmare’s tone was, there was no genuine affection accompanying the demeaning pet name. His words were sharp and dangerous. They slashed Killer’s soul open, baring the longing he’d been repressing for the mistreatment he’d grown accustomed to over the years of servitude under the wannabe-King.

    Ever since Color gave him the courage to run away and reach for something nicer, he sometimes wondered if that attachment he had to his past and that he could never seem to shed was an indication that he’d made the wrong call. If he was as happy with the outcome of his first real decision in ages as he should have been, then wouldn’t he have been as free of doubts as he’d been back when working side by side with Chara? How did it make any sense that being brainwashed into being somebody’s perfect toy wasn’t a role he felt the need to reconsider, even seldom, but trying to be his own person was?

    Maybe that was a hint from the universe that he was only fit to be a deadly weapon in ruthless hands.

    -

    or, Killer is stuck between a painful but familiar past and a hopeful but uncertain future. What will he pick?

    Summary

    Color was peacefully resting on the couch, before he heard keys jingling from the front door. Immediately, he knew it was Delta, and paused his show to greet his roommate.

    Smiling as the door cracked open, he began to speak, "Hey, Delta! How was the-"

    He was swiftly cut short when someone was seen trailing close behind Delta.

    Delta brightened up at the sight of his roommate, but he seemed... off. He was smiling almost anxiously, pulling the figure behind him as if to cloak them from Color's view.

    "Hey Col! Uh, listen, I have someone I want you to meet!" He said nervously, silently begging for Color to not freak out.

    Color's smile dropped immediately.

    'Someone to meet'...?

    He wasn't expecting Delta to bring home a friend so quickly. But doubt began to cloud their mind.

    What if he left them for this new person? How will he survive?

    Summary

    He wasn’t in Nightmare’s castle, the cold stone walls of that place had been replaced by lively murals full of colors and joy a couple of days prior. And he wouldn’t find Killer standing between him and freedom this time around, guarding the exit like the loyal little dog that he was. The bastard was lying motionless and unresponsive in their enemy’s bed, just as powerless as he always claimed they all were.

    For once, there was nothing there to stop him.

    His phalanges closed around the brass knob of the front door; he could already taste the frigid night air and hear the bustling of the city. His freedom was within reach. And it all came crashing down on him as a tired voice spoke up behind him: “Leaving so soon?”. It didn’t sound harsh, nor was it phrased like an accusation or an order, but Dust froze in place nonetheless. Years of being beaten into submission were ingrained in his bones to the point that his body just wouldn’t respond to him, no matter how much he tried to force it to.

    -

    or, Freedom lies on the other side of the door. So why is Dust struggling to reach for it?
