Blue's head was pounding and it felt like there was a tight band going across his head. He was barely coherent, his vision still dark.

Writhing around for a moment told him that he was tied down on a chair. He squirmed for a moment longer before ceasing. His heart was slamming in his chest, he didn't know where he was, he didn't know who was around, and his memory was foggy.

Sobs threatened to come out of his throat but he managed to control himself.

Being tied to a chair, blindfolded, and gagged was terrifying. His throat was going dry and so was his mouth, although the drool slowly dripping down his chin told otherwise.

His drool was cold on his face and it made him want to freak out. He needed it off of his face right now or he was going to explode!

He started struggling again, attempting to kick his legs which he learned were also tied to the chair.

Was anyone there? His face flushed, god he must look like such an idiot! Some supervillain was snickering and smirking at him right now, he just knew it!

A quiet noise left his mouth, a very quiet, very muffled, "Please?"

Maybe the supervillain would take pity on him and allow him to see. Or maybe there was no supervillain and he was going to be left here to rot.

He didn't like the sound of either of those options.

It wasn't King Nightmare, that was for sure. Nightmare was all about screams and prison cells and pretending to allow people to escape. He was tied down to a chair and gagged, there was no way this could be Nightmare's work.

Who else could it be...

His mind whirled but his thoughts were still foggy. He shook his head, trying to see through the fog.

"Oh shit-!" A voice cried from far away and it echoed through the room he was in.

There were quick footsteps and they were getting louder, "Ink!" The voice shouted. It was closer, but it was being aimed away.

Blue didn't recognize the name "Ink."

"He's awake come quick!"

Blue squirmed as the person trailed their fingers across the gag before reaching behind his head and undoing it. They must've shoved the fabric into a pocket or something because Blue didn't hear anything hit the ground.

They then wiped the drool off of his chin with their sleeve, "Sorry about that..." they whispered to him quietly.

"We didn't mean to leave you here all by your lonesome, it must've been so scary for you!"

Blue recognized the voice that was speaking to him. But the name was lost to him at the moment.

"I uh-"

A finger was put to his lips, "Shhhhh, shh shh shh shh...You don't have to say anything. Here, let me get that for you."

Another person entered the room. They came over and ruffled Blue's hair. The original person quietly mumbled at the second to knock it off before lifting the blindfold off of his face.

His stomach dropped, "Dream?"

"Hey hey hey buddy! Sorry for leaving you all tied up like that."

Dream, known as Sunrise to the Superhero committee. He was a vigilante. He played by his own rules, therefore he was hated by the actual heroes yet adored by the public.

He had dark brown skin and blazing yellow eyes. His hair was black and it was currently in box braids. His black hair faded into a yellow and reached around his upper back.

Dream was also toned as fuck.

Maybe it was due to him constantly being on the run from the government and supervillains, or maybe it was due to him being an archery champion.

He was buff and could probably break Blue's spine in half if he wanted. But he wouldn't do that.

At least Blue hoped he wouldn't.

A second person was standing next to Dream, eyes fixated on Blue.

Blue assumed that this was Ink. They were tall, a few inches taller than Dream was, and were awfully lanky.

They had long, half-shaven, straight blond hair that reached just above their elbows. They had tan skin and a variety of tattoos. They had thin, slightly curved, heterochromatic eyes. One green, one brown.

"Oh my god," Ink said, "You're adorable."

Blood rushed up into Blue's cheeks, he couldn't help it. His eyes darted around the floor, trying to find a response.

"Haha, he is pretty cute, isn't he?"

"DREAM?!"

Dream laughed again, gently stroking Blue's hair. What was he, a dog? "Sorry B. Can't help it, you're handsome. And I have to make sure you know.

"Yes yes, thank you, you've both made that very clear." Blue hissed out. Despite his aggression, he leaned into Dream's hand. The touch was nice, and he couldn't get enough of it.

A jolt surged through him when Ink began to stroke his head. Gently pulling his fingers through his hair and cooing quietly. Words that Dream couldn't hear. Saying just how handsome and pretty he was. His cheeks flushed at the praise. They hadn't met before, and yet Ink was already enamored by him. He felt pride in that. He was quite the charmer. It was sorta his brand.

"Dream?" He asked a bit meeker than he intended.

"What's up?" Dream responded, cocking his head to the side. He had shifted, and was now just leaning against the chair Blue was situated on.

"What am I doing here? If you wanted to hang out, you can just text me. You have my number."

"Hahaaaaa uh yeah no. This isn't a hangout."

Ink grabbed Blue's cheeks, his face in a sly grin, "You're our pretty hostage!"

"Wha-"

"You won't be in actual danger don't worry! This," he gestured to the warehouse they were in, "is all for show. I'm not going to make you stay here. When the hero commission pays up, of course. Which they should do, very, very soon. Since Ink sent the ransom note, you'll be here for maybe a few days."

"I did what?"

A look of confusion and apprehension was shot between them."

"The ransom note? The one that you wrote and sent to the hero commission?"

Ink stared off into space and then slowly shook his head. Dream rubbed his forehead, "Oh my god."

"U-Uhm," A lip was pushed against Blue's lips by Dream who was hunched over his tied-down form.

"I will do it now I GUESS. I thought you already did it, Ink."

The other villain sat down on his knees beside Blue, shrugging in response. Dream rolled his eyes and walked into the darkness of the warehouse. He soon returned, dragging a chair behind him and a pen and paper in hand.

"Why are you writing an actual letter? What is this, 1912?" Ink asked incredulously, his finger tracing along Blue's vitiligo patterns. Goosebumps appearing on his skin. He wasn't uncomfortable though. Dream trusted Ink, and while some may curse out his trusting nature, Blue trusted him as well.

"Letters can't be tracked like emails or texts can, Ink. 'Sides," Dream draped himself over the chair, "It's a vibe."

"It is quite the vibe. I agree." Ink said, nodding along.

"What do I say...5000g? Is that enough to pay the bills for the next little bit Ink?"

"You think I'm worth 5000g???? How rude! Up it. Maybe like, 50000g."

Ink snickered at Blue, gently tucking a small bit of hair behind his ear. "God, you're fucking hilarious. I like you."

"I like me too." Blue grinned in response.

Dream found it less hilarious, as told by his face. His yellow eyes almost rolled back in his head.

"Alright, Julius Caesar. I'll up your fuckin' ransoms price." And with a few more quick pen strokes, Dream was finished. He folded the paper and slipped it into his back pocket. He then stood up once again and took a few steps over to Blue and Ink. He took his place at the side opposite Ink.

"Aren't you going to mail that?" Blue asked, no hint of sass in his voice. Just genuine curiosity.

"Oh I will, don't you worry. But first, I wanna dote on you."

"Yeah! You're totally adorable."

Heat rose in Blue's cheeks once again, pushing his knees together in an embrace. "I-Uhm- thank you?"

"It's only the truth hot stuff!" Ink chirped as Dream tilted Blue's head, pecking him on the lips. A gasp came from the other party, who grabbed Blue's face and looked him dead in his dark blue eyes.

"Can I kiss you too???"

Blue, who was still a little star-struck by Dream's short kiss, nodded and his lips were pressed against Ink's. He was getting a little stir-crazy, if he wasn't already sitting down he would've collapsed on the chair.

A lopsided grin appeared on his face as the two pressed their lips against his rosy cheeks.
