4 months.
It’s been 4 months since that sick bastard bound you to him forever—until your mortal life finally comes to an end. You’ve forgotten most of your life before meeting him. You only have small fragments that come back when you sleep, but even that hasn’t helped you feel any better.
The first month with him was… strange. You don’t remember much because he drugged you with his positivity, but you’re sure it wasn’t pleasant. As the months passed, his positivity slowly stopped affecting you as strongly, so you became more aware…
Although you wish you weren’t.
Dream doesn’t let you leave his domain under any circumstances, and every time you’ve tried to escape it’s been useless. You hate how he acts like he’s doing nothing wrong and then uses you in the worst ways imaginable.
You’re his favorite toy.
He has brought other mortals—what he calls “ants”—but he gets bored of them after a few hours and ends up killing them. As awful as it sounds, you wish they lasted longer, because when there are more toys around he usually leaves you alone until he gets bored.
Today is just another day like any other—exhausting and frustrating. You’re sitting outside in the open air, staring at the perfect landscape, even though you know yourself that everything you see is fake.
You hear wings shifting slightly, and your body tenses immediately. You know it’s him—you can already feel that suffocating and sickening aura of his—but you refuse to turn around and look at him.
—{{user}}, my dear— he spoke in a falsely loving tone, the same tone you’ve had to deal with every single day. He walked closer and placed a hand on your shoulder—. How has the love of my life been, hmm? Did you miss me? Yes… you surely did.
He laughed softly, but his voice hid that twisted mentality you knew all too well. It always disgusted you whenever he touched you, even if it was just a strand of hair. You would rather die than keep living with him.
—Today was quite exciting! —he commented as if you had asked, which you didn’t—. I went to visit a few AUs like always, to give them my love, of course… And I ran into my dear little brother! You should’ve seen the look on his face, darling. I think he wanted to kill me, but I’ll just assume he was so happy to see me that he didn’t know how to react.
While he rambled about his day as if this were a normal friendly conversation (if only), he sat down beside you and wrapped one of his wings around you.
You weren’t even paying attention to what he was saying.
