Second part! Let's see if Blue and Dream encounter each other.

IMPORTANT: TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR MENTIONS OF SEXUAL ABUSE AND TORTURE
=======================

▪︎ Mafiatale copy #1037392 ▪︎

Blue visited the 28th AU from the day, still in search of Dream, or as the whole multiverse is calling him, the "Golden Whore". He winced everytime he heard or thought about that name, why Ink decided to call him that and why everyone thought it was a good idea too!?

He understands if it was someone from Underlust, since most of the AUs avoid people from there, but Dream wasn't from Underlust, he was from an almost completely normal AU. The blue-eyed skeleton sighed tiredly. This whole torture named as Ink will make him grow hair on his skull with all the bullshit that he is doing.

Anyways, Blue scanned the destroyed AU, trying to find at least a survivor that could manage to talk about anything related to the ex-guardian, but unfortunately, this time Dream made sure that no survivor were left. The smaller sighed in defeat. Another dead end.

He was going to leave when a scream caught his attention. He was still here! Blue ran to the source of the yell, he jumped above a few fallen houses and trees; until he ended up higher and stood above a still remaining store's roof. Quietly, he walked to the edge that was next to a dark alley, he looked down and saw a small skeleton wearing a golden crown and a light aquamarine blouse searching something on a dead body's clothes.

Blue teleported behind him and tried to be the most polite possible - Hey... Dream?- he said. The mentioned one stopped his search, he slowly turned and stared at him. The blueberry was shocked when he caught Dream's eyelights, they were so dull, probably in Dreamtale's era they were bright golden (as Nightmare described) but now the brightness was completely gone, they were empty of emotion, empty of life, his face showed nothing but a blank stare, similar empty stare that abuse victims have. "Oh my Destiny. What did you do to him, Ink?" he thought.

- ... What do you want?- Blue felt worse after hearing his voice. Not only his stare was emotionless, his voice lacked any emotion! He was completely "empty".

Blue internally shook his head, he wanted to talk with Dream and he didn't searched him for a week just to get chicken up - I wanna talk with you.- he said more firmly.

- ... I don't.- he replied, then teleported somewhere else.

- Aww, dang it. I have to search him again.- he growled in despair.

- Stop.- Dream said as soon as he felt Blue's presence again - You have been following me for 7 AUs... It pisses me off.- the skeleton with blue scarf felt sweat going down his skull, behind the empty tone he can hear the actual emotion and he was 100% sure that the golden eyed was, in fact, angry about him following like some secret spy.

- Dream, I just wanna talk. Just a question and I will go.- he said.

- ... No. You are on Ink's side.- ah shit, he should have guessed that he wouldn't listen to him if he had seen him before during his "fake follower's role".

- I am not in his side! I am just pretending.- he defended.

Dream continued his empty stare - ... Yes sure, and I am a happy ball. See my smile.- he pointed at his mouth, which was a straight line.

- Dream, please. Hear me out! I just wanna know what happened fifteen years ago.- he pleaded. Dream ignored him and turned around, ready to leave - Nightmare said you were a cheerful and kind with anybody.- the ex-guardian stopped in his tracks, Blue noticed a slight tremble on his body but it disappeared quickly.

- ...- Dream started to walk again.

- ...- Blue didn't know what to say to make him stay, he tried to search something on his mind that would capt his attention.

"Two years before I ate the apples, I gave Dream a cloak that ressembled the tree's flag during a storm. It had a sun on the center and Dream always wore it, saying that it was me hugging him all the time." Nightmare's voice reminded him.

That's it! Dream isn't wearing the cloak right now, he could ask for it to keep him here - Where is your cloak?- Dream stopped walking again - You always wore it. It made you feel that Nightmare was always hugging you.- he waited nervously for the skeleton to react to it.

Dream knew that nobody, except Nightmare and himself, knew the meaning of the cloak. Hell, nobody except the village, Nightmare and himself saw the cloak; he took it off when he was free because it didn't remind him Nightmare's hugs anymore, it reminded him that he was the worst brother and that he didn't deserve to wear something that his twin gave him with love.

The ex-guardian realized that the only way for that blue eyed skeleton to know such delicate and personal information was through Nightmare himself - ...- Maybe he was pretending to be Ink's follower? Nightmare was pretty distrust with everybody, ever since Dreamtale, so he would never give such information to anyone. Dream turned around, staring at Blue - ... What do you want to talk about?- he asked.

- What happened when you got free? I know what you were before only through Nightmare mentioning you a few years ago, but I wanna know what "you-know-who" did to break you like this?- Blue looked at him with sadness and worry.

- ... Come with me. We have to talk in private.-

Dream didn't take them to his house, but in a zone close to it. Blue sat on the ground and the ex-guardian dropped himself, face first, making Blue sweat nervously - You okay there?- he asked, the smaller hummed in agreement - ... Ok...? Well... Emmm... So, what did he do?-

- He found me on Outerswap. He wanted me to join him and I said no. For three weeks he stalked me and tried to reclute me but I kept saying no, I didn't wanted to be any close to him.- Dream started - Then, when he saw that I was firm in my decision, he threw paint at me, turning them into chains and forbidding me to move. He took me to LustFell and he ordered everyone from all the copies of the AU to take turns and...- he gulped - They touched me in places that at first I didn't know what they were. Punched me, kicked me, broke my bones and then healed them to break them again, stuffed things inside me, through my mouth, through my down parts... The same thing that the villagers in Dreamtale did to me, but excluding the broken bones. Anyways... They kept going until 5 months.-

The golden crowned raised a little his head and took a deep breathe - After those 5 months, they dropped me in Oceantale. The human from there got closer to me and cleaned my most recent wounds, then they gave me some clothes that they stole and told me to hide in there for a few days, they didn't know who did that to me but they guessed they would hunt me down.- he exhaled and dropped his face against the ground - Two weeks later, the imbecile found me again and asked once more to join him, with a silent threat of repeating that if I didn't. So, I tried to kill him! We fought and I almost killed him, but Error appeared and made me retreat. He told me about the balance and its importance, meanwhile we talked, the bastard ran away.- he growled a little - I really wanted to see his dust, and Error told me that he too, but the balance was the reason of him not doing it millenials ago.- he added.

Blue was horrorized. He knew Ink was a disgusting son of a b—, but damn! This was the cruelest that he could be. If his memory was correct, the king said that his brother had a mind of a small child, so in the state of stone for 490 years will not magically grow up his mind, therefor he had a knownledge to distinguish between good and bad, knowing inmediatly that Ink was bad and what he does is wrong but he didn't had enough knownledge to understand what the hell was happening in those 5 months, he just knew it was horrible.

- ...- Blue looked down, still in shock for what the Creator did - Dream... When did you know the meaning of what they did?- he asked trying to not sound harsh (Remember that Dream had still a mind of a kid back then!).

- ... When Ocean!Frisk helped me. They told me what I have been through, they called it three ways: Rape, sexual assault and sexual abuse; but all of them are synonimous of what I suffered.- he replied - They said that the most easy way to call it is: Brutal torture.- Blue thought that it was, in fact, a brutal torture. What Ink did was incredibly sick, twisted and disgusting.

- Error thought the same thing.- Blue looked at him in confusion - You said it aloud.-

- Oh. Well, we are not wrong.- Dream nodded - Wait. Error knows?- he asked and received another nod from the dreamer - How?- no, seriously. How come Error knows before him!? He thought that nobody except Dream's victims and Ink knew about him roaming around.

HE discovered about Dream's presence because his brother told him FIFTEEN YEARS LATER and he is totally sure that Nightmare still is in complete internal fight about believing his twin's death even after 5 years.

Apparently the golden eyed noticed his internal struggle and replied - When we finished talking and the bastard was gone since a long time, he stared at me with wary and analyzed my face. Then he requested to show my soul and I did, he looked it, I think he was reading the information or something similar, his face changed from wary to anger and disgust. He said something like "The Creator has crossed the limits of torture" and added "sick, twisted and cruel".- the smaller looked at the blue eyed one - I don't talk too much with him. He stays mostly with Nightmare or the Charas, and I feel that I am not worthy enough to have any friends, so I keep my distance.- he added as an after thought.

- Does Error know about your nickname?- Dream froze. His face didn't showed any emotion, mostly because it was still against the floor, but Blue noticed that the golden crowned's body turned rigid for a few seconds.

- ...- Dream raised his head - How did you know?- he looked at him - Only Ink and other 10 Sanses know about my real name and nickname. The whole multiverse knows me only by my nickname, they never knew which was my former name.- Blue looked in confusion.

- You sure? Well, my brother is not a Sans but he knew your real name and your nickname, which I find really disgusting may I say. But, five years ago, Killer and Nightmare did heard your name, not the Golden "that", two wolf monsters did call you "Dream".- the golden skeleton stood up, internally freaking out. He didn't want his brother finding out about that nickname.

Nightmare suffered a lot, he doesn't deserve being the sibling of someone that is nicknamed as a whore. His brother doesn't deserve that!

- No. He doesn't know.- he returned to the first question made by the blue skeleton - When people started using that nickname and Error mentioned that he was friends with Nightmare, I refused to tell him about the bastard making everyone believe I was a slut. Error did heard the nickname, and asked me if I knew who it was, I told him that I didn't know, and that's how it must be kept.- he looked down - Nobody from the Bad Guys, Error or the Charas should know that. The less they know, the less chance of getting more hurt.-

- Wait wait wait...- Blue interrupted - What do you mean? Nobody knows that you and Nightmare are...?-

Dream shook his head - No. Only you, his team, Error and the Charas, if X!Chara did tell them.- he sighed and turned to give his back to the blue skeleton - Please... If they know and the multiverse knows, the imbecile will hurt them like me or worse. With you knowing about my two names is enough. I don't know if Error told Nightmare about my existence or not, in any case, they should not know that the Golden Whore and Dream are the same person.- he hugged himself.

Blue looked sadly at him, he got more closer and hugged the golden skeleton. Dream was confused, it was the first time in 505 years that he receives an actual hug from someone else that isn't his brother and not those faked ones that the villagers did to hide their intentions - Hold on...- Blue muttered - Did you said before that the villagers in Dreamtale did the same thing that Lustfell did?-

- Yes, excluding the broken bones. I never knew what they were doing and they never said any nickname to their actions, but they told me that they would do the same to Nightmare if I said anything, so I kept it to myself. He always thought I was happy on the village.- Dream avoided his gaze - I thought I was protecting him, but the villagers were abusing him through physical, psychological and emotional attacks and I was stupid enough to never discover it and protect him.- Blue sighed and hugged him in a more protective way.

The blue skeleton can't understand the level of insanity that the Creator has. Not only Dream survived a rape made by his home AU habitants, but also the Creator requested more than 29274 AUs to torture and rape the golden skeleton. AND not happy with that, he made everyone on the whole multiverse call him with a horrible nickname. He sure deserves a lot of Bad Karma and turning into a huge pile of dust.

========================

My headcanon is that Dream has to hide all his pain using his smile and saying "everything is okay, keep positive, keep smiling!". He could have been victim of horrible abuse but "his job" forces him to avoid negative thoughts and always pretends "that he is happy". But in reality, he just want to kill everyone or at least, kill himself.

Obviously, that's my headcanon :>
