Tw: Overdose, implied rape

Nightmare slammed his books down, eyes wide, “Holy shit! Killer!”

Killer was nearby, and looked at Night, a little bewildered.

“I think I’ve figured it out!”

"You did?" Killer was obviously surprised, but fairly excited.

“I did! Oh god, this could be it! I just need to-“ and then Night’s face twisted in horror. “Nononono! Killer, I need you to tell him the truth and hurt him. If he hurts people, run, please!”

"No, n-no, please don't go!" Killer moved to hug Nightmare, wanting him to stay.

“I'm fighting I swear. Kills I love you so much… I promise I’ll come back, I won’t let him hurt you anymore, or Dust or Horror! I won’t!”

Killer nodded, "I l-love you too-"

“When he comes back-“ Night crumbled more and took deep breaths, “Kills, warn everyone you can!”

Killer nodded, "I-I will, I will Night-"

Night's hands shook and he stumbled away from Killer.

“I don’t want him to come back-“ he sobbed, sounding so defeated.

"I know- I know-" Killer wished he could comfort Night, but knew that it could lead to himself getting hurt, or worse.

“I love you,” Night whispered before his body went limp, head rolling back as his knees buckled underneath him

"I love you too-" Killer let out a sob before quickly going to find Horror and Dust.

Malevolence just lay on the ground. Night had certainly tired him out enough to give Killer time to get away.

Killer was more focused on finding and warning Horror and Dust that Malevolence had returned, so neither of them slipped up.

Horror and Dust were both upset but it only got worse when Malevolence finally got up.

“I’m going out! We’ll continue our discussion from before once I’m back!”

"Where are you going?" Killer obviously wanted to make sure it wasn't to bother Ink and Error.

“I’ve been gone for what, a week? Two? I want to see how the little birdy is doing,”

"Why don't you just leave them alone for a bit-"

“Because I can! I can bother them and I will!”

Killer swallowed a bit, knowing that saying what he was about to *again* was a risk, "Even if I was pregnant? You'd rather fuck around with them?!"

“We’ll I can’t fuck around with you anymore! That little dog has made it obvious!”

"Then just fucking *stop* for a minute," At that point, Killer was getting more pissed than anything, which tended to be dangerous with how strong he could be normally.

“No. You have NO right to tell me what to do!” Malevolence lashed his tentacle out and it landed right beside Killer's head. It would have killed Killer if it had been any closer.

Killer barely flinched, still pissed as he watched Malevolence go.

“I’m leaving,” Malevolence opened a portal and stepped through

~~~~~

By the time Malevolence had come back, Killer had just decided to hide in his room, not wanting to look at Malevolence or anything with what he was doing.

Dust came running to him a while later.

“He took Error,” his voice cracked.

Killer sighed slightly from where he was curled up in bed, "Damn it-"

“Killer… he’s… he’s gonna really hurt him. He’s bragging downstairs… I don’t know what to do… it’s not just hitting him either, he’s gonna…”

Killer quickly stood up at that, "I'll see what I can do."

“Just umm… Errors old room isn’t soundproof… just a warning,” it was obvious Dust had heard something before he’d run to Killer.

Killer nodded, leaving his room to go confront Malevolence, even more pissed than earlier.

There was yelling the closer he’d get to Error’s room, alongside sobbing and threats. Malevolence, luckily, hadn’t seemed to have done anything yet.

Killer didn't seem to care, slamming the door open and looking straight at Malevolence.

Malevolence turned from Error and sighed. “I should have known you’d try to weasel your way into making a mess,”

"You're the one that started the mess. Leave him alone," Killer decided a smart thing to do was to summon a gaster blaster behind Malevolence, hopefully above Error.

Malevolence snarled.

“I’m not afraid to hurt you Killer, or your brat-“ he tensed up and sighed. “Okay so threatening the soul I apparently can’t do, but I WILL do what I need to to keep you out of the way,”

"Then let him go."

“No chance,” Malevolence sighed and left Errors side, wrapping Killer up in tentacles, squeezing tight enough to warn him

At that point, Killer set off the blaster, not caring much if he hurt himself in the process.

Malevolence, who had picked up Killer fully by then, stumbled and dropped Killer before catching him by his arm.

“Pesky little shit,” he hissed and began to march back down the hall

Killer tried to get away once he was let go, even with a fall, but it was obviously to no avail, and he instead tried to struggle against Malevolence's hold.

Malevolence grinned and kissed his head before throwing Killer into his room.

“I’ll have one of the other pests bring you food,” he said before slamming Killer’s door shut and locking it.

Killer didn't bother moving for a minute once the door was locked but ended up curling up.

It was obvious Malevolence left again, he didn’t pay Killer another thought

After quite a while, Killer decided to get up and tend to whatever injuries Malevolence had caused.

Malevolence had definitely caused a few although he left Killer’s abdomen and stomach untouched

Killer was glad about that, and afterward, curled up again, still on the floor, but in a different spot.

A few hours later there was a knock on the door and then it unlocked and a plate was slid in before it was locked again.

“He’s not letting us go in… but I brought you a book too… something to do,” Dust whispered

Killer nodded slightly, which Dust obviously couldn't hear or see, before letting out a soft sob.

“Is there anything else I can do for you?” Dust asked

"P-Painkillers..."

“I can get those,” and Dust did, coming back with them a little while later.

"Th-Thank you..."

“Of course,”

Killer managed to get himself over to the little pile of stuff, working on eating the food first.

At some point, Malevolence was heard in the hall but he never came too close to Killer's room

After eating, Killer pushed the plate more toward the door, taking the painkillers and the book to sit against the wall next to said door.

The hallway sounded busy, which mostly meant Horror and Dust were just walking around

Killer didn't mind them, their presence was just a little comforting, but he ended up opening the painkillers and dumping a few into his hand, which was too many for him.

No one outside knew that but they’d easily be alerted if he needed anything.

Killer decided to down what was in his hand, which wasn't a good idea, and closed the bottle before opening the book, hoping what he did would work how he wanted.

At some point Malevolence passed by the room, and by then, Killer could barely keep his eyes open, and Malevolence could sense that he wasn't holding up well after his overdose.

It caused Malevolence opened the door in a hurry

Killer was semi-responsive, though not as much as he should be. The souling was alright though, his body doing what it could to keep it alive.

Malevolence cursed and scooped Killer up, “Shit,”

The cause was easy to figure out, with the bottle of painKiller's on the floor next to him, and Killer couldn't really hold himself up in Malevolence's arms.

Malevolence stared at it and then at Killer, “Shit.”

He had no idea what to do

Of course, it was hard to know what to do, especially since Killer was the only person with enough medical knowledge to fix such a thing, and also the supplies...

Malevolence looked around for anything he might find to help solve this.

It wasn't hard to find a few notebooks, with a few different titles on the front, along with some medical supplies hidden in his nightstand. One of the notebooks was basically filled with all types of medications and what they did. The second page explained overdoses and how to fix them and gave a page number for what needed to be administered.

Malevolence flipped through all of that and then looked for what he needed to fix it.

Luckily, it wasn't hard to find. Everything was actually well labeled, and some syringes were in a little box for safekeeping.

Malevolence sighed in relief and moved to administer it to Killer.

It wasn't long after that Killer's breathing started to stabilize and get stronger, and he clenched his fists.

Malevolence sighed and hunched over.

“Damn it… stay down,” he hissed to himself.

Killer made a slight noise, starting to get more responsive.

Malevolence sat on the floor, holding his head

After a minute, Killer sat up... kind of. He wasn't exactly the most stable, with his magic now depleted, but he also didn't care.

Malevolence was arguing with himself, although it was actually with Night.

Killer ended up managing to dig through his nightstand, soon pulling out a bottle of magic boosters and squinting at the label.

“No…”

He looked at Nightmare/Malevolence, "Hmm...?"

“No… you can’t keep-“

“But I’m in control. You agreed to keep me in control if I let your three live their lives mostly fine. I let horror eat and dust sleep and you don’t fight me-“

“Hurting Error wasn’t part of the agreement-“ Night was breaking through with Malevolence.

Killer half listened, but went back to squinting at the label of the bottle he was holding, though slowly leaning to rest himself against the bed.

Eventually, Malevolence stood. “Are you better now, dear?”

Killer had started to shake a little, "I don't... r-remember... how many to t-take..."

He definitely needed the magic boosters, but he was struggling to see, or do anything other than lean against the bed.

“Let’s start with one while I read this okay? One to start and I’ll figure it out,”

Killer nodded, managing to open it and take one before offering Malevolence the bottle to look at.

Malevolence read it for how much and handed him whatever he still needed to take.

Killer took that too and let out a breath after.

Malevolence sighed.

“Don’t do that again or the dog will kill me,” he grumbled. “And not literally before you get fucking hopeful.”

"I w-won't... that fucking-" Killer suddenly gagged and moved to cover his mouth for a second. "S-Sucked..."

“Yea, that’s expected.”

Killer nodded before moving to lay on the ground, "J-Just gonna... stay here f-for a bit..."

“Sounds good dear,”

Killer nodded again, closing his eyes as he lay there.

Malevolence sighed. “If I let you wander, you can’t do shit or I will lock you up whenever I’m busy,”

Killer didn't respond, more tired than anything else after all that.

Malevolence scoffed and walked out of the room.

Killer didn't move for a few hours, which was probably a little concerning, but everything seemed alright with him otherwise.

Dust at some point has come to sit with him

For once, he was relatively peaceful, which was helped by his not quite being asleep, and didn't really notice Dust come in.

Dust just kinda sat at the foot of the bed.

After a while, Killer moved a bit, turning from his side to his back.

Dust stared at him and sighed, moving to help him onto the bed to be more comfortable

Killer quickly grabbed the front of his shirt to stop him, "Don't... d-don't..."

“Hey… hey what’s up?”

"I am n-not up... for being m-moved..."

“Okay. Do you wanna a pillow? Make you more comfortable?”

Killer nodded slightly.

Dust moved to pull down the pillow from his bed

Killer let him, lifting his head enough for the pillow to be tucked under.

Dust sighed and tucked it under before sitting next to him.

"Th-Thank you..."

“Of course…”

"I am... s-so tired... but I c-can't sleep..."

“That’s okay… I know…”

Killer nodded slightly, moving to rub at his face with his hands.

Dust just stayed beside him.

After a minute, he opened his eyes to stare up at the ceiling, still a little dazed.

Dust watched him quietly

Killer didn't say or really do anything, seeming lost in thought.

Dust didn’t mind, he felt safer here than he did in the halls.

"Maybe I should... k-keep looking over m-mental illnesses..." In his spare time, Killer liked to learn anything medical, and his recent thing had been mental illnesses and such, and ways to help treat them.

“I don’t know you’re good to be studying right now,”

"I'll c-close my eyes if I'm n-not... just... let m-me try..."

“Okay,”

"Grab me a... a book, p-please...?"

Dust moved to do just that.

Killer waited patiently, taking it once Dust offered it to him.

Dust sat beside him again once he did.

Killer opened the book to quietly look through it, pulling out a notebook from nearby to take notes in.

Dust still sat nearby.

Killer didn't seem to mind, preferring the company as he quickly read and wrote.

Eventually, Killer closed the book and his eyes.

Dust didn’t mind

Killer sighed softly afterward, "Maybe I should try to sleep..."

“Sleep if you want, I’m here and you’re safe

Killer nodded slightly, "Thank you again..."

“Of course,”

Killer set his book and notebook aside as he lay there, and after a while, he seemed to be asleep.

Dust smiled and pulled a blanket over him

Killer didn't seem to mind, surprisingly sound while he slept.

Dust smiled and sunk back to sleep where he sat too, almost guarding Killer

At some point Horror had walked in and fallen asleep near the door.

Killer woke up again a couple of hours later and glanced around.

Both were still asleep, and Killer didn't mind, picking up his book and notebook again to get back to it.

The boys were both sleepy but the second there were footsteps outside, they woke themselves up.

Killer turned to look at the source of the footsteps.

Malevolence stood in the doorway.

“I’m here for medical equipment,” he hissed.

“Oh no! What did you do to poor Error,” Dust hissed

"That's a good question, so I know what equipment..." Killer moved to set his stuff aside and sit up.

“It’s nothing big, it’s more for me, he ripped off a tentacle and scratched my arms,”

“And well deserved.”

"Do you need stitches...?"

“No, but he might if he’s not fucking careful.”

Killer sighed and pointed to his closet, "Grab yourself some bandages..."

Malevolence nodded and sighed, “Oh, and I probably injured some part of Error, but he wouldn’t let me see-“

“Probably because of what you did! He just got married you asshole, you sent me to clean him up after the first time and all he wants is to be with his husband and kids,” Horror snapped

"All of you shut it..." Killer rubbed at the bridge of his nose. "He doesn't trust you with any of his injuries..."

“I know but you took too many fucking drugs to be of any help didn’t you?” He sighed.

"I can try, at least... I just don't know what kind of injury it is..."

“Well, neither do fucking I-“

“Maybe it's because you, I don’t know, force yourself on him you fucking dick!” Dust snarled.

"What did I just say...?" Killer sighed.

“Sorry Kills it’s just… I hate this.”

Killer looked back at Malevolence, "Do you want me to try and do an examination...?"

“Sure, knock yourself out.”

Killer nodded, using the bed to help himself stand up, though he was a little wobbly.

They would have quietly watched him, Dust moving to help him if needed

Killer did need help, likely to fall otherwise, but managed to get to the room Error was in with said assistance.

Error was curled in the corner of his room, dressed, fortunately, although very shabby. “Killer?”

"Hey... you hurt...?"

“Killer he… he…” he started to sob and started to drag himself towards Killer, not really moving his legs

"I know, I know..." Killer quickly moved to kneel next to Error so Error didn't have to move. "Where are you hurt...?"

Error looked up and then looked down. He didn’t want to say where. “It hurts…”

“No! Nonononono!”

"I can't help if I don't know..." Killer offered a comforting hand.

Error started to cry.

“No… no you can’t… you can’t see it,” he whispered. “Just take me out of here, please.”

"I want to... I really do... I'm so sorry..."

“I need to get home… I have a toddler, Pic… please…” he was shaking and there was a fracture visible on his leg but it was likely that wasn’t his only injury.

"I know- I know, but he'd probably kill all of us- including you..."

Ink suddenly opened the door and yelled, “Ruru!”

Error looked up, “Inky?”

“Gotcha!” Ink was suddenly grabbed by Malevolence.

When dinner was finished, Horror was instructed to bring a plate up to Killer, who was half asleep in bed, but looked up when Horror came in.

“Hi, Malevolence told me to bring you dinner… said I could eat up here too… he let me eat…”

"That's good..." Killer moved to sit up.

Horror nodded and handed Killer his plate of food

Killer took it to eat, "Th-Thank you..."

“Of course… he’s in a good mood right now.”

Killer nodded, "Good..."

“Yea…”

"Wish h-he was more often..." Killer ate quietly after that.

“I do too… I like being able to eat.”

Killer nodded, silently listening to Horror while he ate.

Horror was mostly silent while he ate, but he seemed content.

After a bit, Killer finished eating and set his plate aside.

Horror finished as well and stacked their plates

"He... also said we would sleep alright tonight..."

“Yessss!” Horror threw his hands up

Killer nodded a bit, "Hopefully my nightmares actually stay away..."

“I hope they do too.”

Killer nodded, moving to lie down.

Horror took the plates and went downstairs

At some point, Dust came to visit too

Killer was half asleep again but opened his eyes to look up at Dust.

Dust just sorta sat at the end of the bed, silently crying

"Is... something wrong...?"

“I don’t like when he’s nice, I hate it…” Dust whispered

"Why's that...?"

“Because he’s not Night!”

"But at least we get a break..."

“I know but it’s not… why does he get to be here and be nice when we could have Night back?”

"Because he's cruel... he wants us to struggle..."

“I just want Night back…” Dust whispered. He was tired and upset now

"We all do..."

Dust sighed and rubbed at his eyes. “Did I wake you up?”

Killer shook his head, "No... wasn't asleep yet..."

“Good… I’m sorry it’s just… you know how Night puts his hand on my head sometimes? He did that and it got to me…”

"It's ok... want to stay for a bit...?"

“Are you sure? He said you’re sick… shouldn’t you rest?”

"Doesn't mean you can't sit with me..."

“Okay…”

Killer pat a spot in the bed that was less at the foot.

Dust sat in that spot and smiled at Killer

Killer didn't smile, but it was basically impossible for him to, and he turned over so he could face Dust.

Dust yawned a bit, “I’m glad that I at least have you and Horror. I couldn’t get through this without you two.”

Killer nodded, "It'd be so much harder..."

“I think I would have died…”

Killer nodded, "With how much he seems to dislike you... ya..."

Dust sighed and closed his eyes tightly

"But you're alright... nothing should happen to you for a bit..."

“For now… but something bad had to happen to Ink for that…”

Killer nodded, "I know..."

“And I don’t want our safety to be at someone else’s hurt,”

"Neither do I..."

“I just hope we figure out how to get Night back,”

Killer nodded, closing his eyes.

Dust sighed and closed his eyes too. “Do you think night is conscious in there?”

Killer nodded, "He is..."

“Oh god,” Dust sat up then. He’d never realized that and it terrified him. “He’s conscious under there? He’s seen-“

"He has... that's the upsetting thing..."

“Killer… he’s seen so many horrible things… he’s seen what Malevolence has said-“ Dust shook his head. “And we still have no clue how to break him out?”

"Night isn't strong enough... he is if negativity is weak... but... Malevolence keeps it like this for that reason..."

“So we need to just… bite it down? And we can get him back?”

"We can try... but that also might not work... it might help, though..."

“It could help him… he’s also come back when he gets really upset, right?”

"He has..."

“We can help him, right? We know when he might do so…” Dust shrugged

"We can try... that's all I'll say..."

“Then I’m gonna try,” Dust knew it would probably get him hurt but he’d definitely do anything he could to get Night back. He faced the worst of the abuse and he’d keep facing it for Night.

"Just... be careful... please..."

“I will be… but I’ll start tomorrow,”

"Alright..."

Dust nodded and closed his eyes again

Killer was quiet, trying to fall back into that half-asleep state.

Dust would have felt bad if he wasn’t also half asleep.

Killer didn't mind, though ended up slipping into full sleep on accident after a bit. It wasn't as clear of nightmares as Malevolence had probably hoped it would be though.

At some point, Dust woke up from his own nightmare and just lay there instead of trying to sleep again.

It was harder for Killer, however, especially with his fever. He was exhausted, both physically and when it came to his magic, and while he couldn't stop the nightmares without mild help from Malevolence, he also couldn't wake up easily.

Dust noticed and stood. He knew he might get in trouble but for Killer, he’d take a beating, or worse. “Malevolence, sir? Killer’s having a nightmare and in his current state, sick and all-“

A tentacle hit right beside Dust’s head and Malevolence sighed as he headed upstairs. “I’ll aid him with that.”

Killer curled up tighter in his sleep, having ended up gripping the pillow. His corrupted magic and tears stained it, but he wouldn't have cared whether he was asleep or not.

Malevolence frowned slightly when he saw Killer and reached a hand out to calm Killer's nightmares.

It didn't work at first. His nightmare was actually fairly extensive, mostly about his own AU and him killing everyone there, but also about some of the AUS he'd helped destroy, mostly young faces that truly hadn't deserved it.

Malevolence sighed and closed his eyes, focusing on switching the dream towards moments on the couch with the house, when Error had made blankets for everyone, the moments with Night.

It seemed to help, Killer gradually relaxing, and his breathing getting more steady as it got better.

Malevolence smiled and pulled back. “There we go… Dust. Keep an eye on him,”

“If you leave, sir, he’ll have them again, we both know that,” Dust whispered.

Malevolence knew Dust was right. Dreams and nightmares were quick to switch, and there was no doubt that the nightmares would return if Malevolence left. So, he sighed and sat back down, gently touching Killer's head again.

Killer leaned into the touch a bit, even in his sleep.

Malevolence smiled and rubbed Killer's hand with his free one

Killer slept better than he had in a while with Malevolence there, and he was plenty grateful in the morning. Malevolence was half asleep by then, smiling at Killer

Killer opened his eyes a bit when he woke up, looking up at him, "Night...?"

“Hi, you had quite the night, my dear,” it was Malevolence but the look of love and care about him, and the very fact he wouldn’t usually do this, was more than good enough to confuse even Horror and Dust at times.

"You... stayed up for me...?"

“Of course… you need your rest when you’re sick, and if I can help with that, then I will,”

"You didn't have to..." Killer felt like he could cry again. "You should sleep..."

“I can sleep later,” Malevolence kissed Killer's hand, smiling so softly at him

"But you a-also need sleep..." Killer let out a soft hiccup as a tear managed to escape.

Malevolence reached to wipe at Killer's tears. “And I will, but I want to worry about you right now, dear,”

Killer let out a soft sob, "I've m-missed you, Night..."

“Well I’m right here, I’m here,”

"I-I have things t-to tell you... b-but I don't kn-know how much t-time w-we have..."

“Then tell me what you can, dear,” Malevolence whispered, rubbing Killer's hand.

"I l-love you..."

“I love you too,” Malevolence hummed. It didn’t sound exactly like when Noght usually said it but that could likely be brushed off as tired, at least if this was Night

Killer smiled weakly, tears still falling down his cheeks, and Malevolence just smiled back at Killer, rubbing his hand

"And... and I... I-I'm..." Killer definitely seemed a little nervous to say it. "P-Pregnant..."

Malevolence reeled back.

“What!?” He reached down and yanked up Killer's shirt to stare at the soul.

“No way!” He then laughed and stood, but immediately crumbled and began to cry. “Kills?”
