Okay hiii guys! This is just a silly little thing. I wanted to make smth silly for the idea Ancha and I were talking about regarding NA Reaper having a zap scar on his wrist from when he gets hit by Dust's warning zap!
I think Reaper simply... wouldn't treat it tbh. He has other things on his mind and his magic tends to hardy. Plus, the last thing he wants to do is request treatment for an injury given to him by one of Nightmare's Knights. That'd make things tense. So, he just keeps it to himself!
Geno sees it before anyone else, just because he gets to be around Reaper more often and. Well. Reaper has to rizz up Geno at sone point, so he'd probably catch sight one way or another. Another reason Geno gets obsessed w/ Dust's magic probably-
But Reaper doesn't show *Dust* until long after their toxic yaoi arc. He doesn't want Dust to feel bad about it, never really has reason to take off his gloves (he wears his clothes a lot even when relaxing w/ his beloveds because well. He doesn't want to risk them getting hurt.) So eventually post-everything Reaper decides to use it in a sly pick-up line. Y'know, to show he's being honest about it being there, but that he doesn't think it's a big deal.
(Note: It's not actually bright purple, more of a dull Grey, but here I needed some color to make it obvious lol-)
And Dust, I imagine, was being very serious about smth like 'Don't want to zap you.' Or smth because his magic was acting up and then Reaper drops that line and Dust has to grapple with 1) Dammit Reaper stop being so good at flirting. 2) WHAT. When did that???. He's got a blushing skull but his eyes are spelling crime lmao-
And then the bonus in the corner!! Dust does still feel bad about it. Reaper tells him not to. Reaper sees it as a sign of his fierce protectiveness + loyalty to his family. What's more admirable than that? (<- it made Reaper take proper notice of him and built the base for what would eventually become his crush.)
