Beauty might be simple.
Dust had seen... a lot, of alternative universes. There were ones where his kind starved, where monsters had wings or fishy tails. He's seen ones where roles seemed to be reversed, or interchanged.
But... out of everything, he never considered one where...
Bunnies?
Dust was staring at a field of flowers, where—If he was guessing somewhat correctly. These... bunnies, were... fighting?
On one side, had these extra round creatures that had similarities to the Stars. While the other ones held closer to the bad Sanses, such as himself...
Man, they sucked at fighting.
The... Ink, one? Was flipped over on his back, his tiny little stubby legs kicked effortlessly. The one that looked like Killer paused mid battle to start cleaning his paws. The Swap one was... either pushing, or nuzzling one that looked like Horror. And, these things were small. The size of kitten at best. Plus... they were so round? Why were they so round?
Either way, Dust scoffed. Apparently these things could talk, too, or atleast one of them—as the goofy Nightmare one was screeching.
"N-No, you fools! Get back into battle!" He yelled, his voice pip squeak. While the Dream one was trying to flip over Ink, failing miserably and flipping over himself. He made tiny distressed yips, before getting distracted by a butterfly, flipping on his feet again and following it while hopping.
Dust sighed, coming closer. He just needed to find wherever the fuck Killer went, his Killer. And they could go home.
The Nightmare one looked at him, and hissed. Instead of tendrils, it just had a lot of floppy ears. "A mortal! Retreat you buffoons!" He demanded, teleporting away before Dust could get a word out.
He groaned. "Killer!" He called out again, hoping he hadn't run off too far.
As he approached, the bunnies all started looking at him. Their little chattering went down, as they began to hop over to him, quite literally bouncing.
"...ugh." Was all he managed out, these things.. they were nuzzling him? Being oddly affectionate.
One, the Killer one, started nibbling on his shoe, causing him to try and kick it away. "Stop that..." He murmured, the bunny just bounced like a ball...
Weird.
Russeling came behind him, and he snapped over with a sharpened bone ready to defend himself—
Boop.
Dust was put face to face with Killer, who held a bunny that looked like... him.
"...You shouldn't sneak up on me." He lowered his weapon, as Killer chuckled a bit.
"Dust! Look, it's you!" He said in a teasing manner, shoving them into his arms.
"H-Hey!" Dust tried to drop it, but his arms tensed for a second...
It was just, so soft... like a marshmallow.
Killer giggled, before gasping, "THERE'S MINE!" He scooped up the bunny that looked like him, squshing it on his face.
"We're not keeping them." Dust declared as he finally set the Dust one down.
"Oh c'mon! Wouldn't be the first time we kidnapped something from an AU!~" Killer was now trying to hold Dust, and Horror bunny as well.
"No." Dust, the actual one, crossed his arms and gave a stern look.
Killer pouted, metaphorically jiggling them in his arms as he opened his jacket to stick them in.
"...Don't." Dust warned, as Killer cheered when he got them into it, zipping it up, their three little faces stuck out in front of his face.
"Yup, doing it."
Dust groaned. "...fine." He stuck his hands hands his pocket, looking away, down towards the star ones. The ink one was still stuck on his back, but fell asleep cuddling up to the Swap and Dream one...
It was almost cute.
He sighed. "Let's just get back... I swear if one of those things poop in the castle..." He muttered as he helped Killer pushed the bunnies to be more hidden.
"Heh, got it!"
And with that, they teleported home.
