---Dust's POV----

The house was completely silent. No one said anything. We just at there quietly, doing nothing.

Horror and Lust were curled up on one of the sofas together, half asleep as they hugged each other weakly.

Error and Ink were muttering quietly to each other, talking about something I couldn't hear, and didn't really care about. It was either some lovey stuff of just something about their kids or X.

Killer was awake, glancing at his little mystery friend, who was curled up in a ball on the opposite side of the sofa to him, asleep. We practically had to drag them here, that's how badly they didn't want to come. Especially Killer's friend. He had a whole fit about it. But he's here now, so that's good. He clearly didn't want to be here, but he didn't seem to want to leave Killer.

I sighed, going to say something when suddenly there was a knock at the door.

Instantly we all reacted.

I stood up, summoning a bone attack by my side. Ink and Error broke of their whispering session, staring at the door. Killer sat up straighter, holding his breath. Error's kids looked over. And Horror, Lust and Killers friend simply stayed asleep.

"What do we do?!" I hissed, looking at Error.

"Don't answer it of course!" He whisper-shouted back at me.

Another knock rang out, this time more strong and powerful. "Open up you lazy shits!"

We all froze immediately, that voice sounding so familiar.

Ignoring Error's hissed protests I walked forwards and over to the door, gripping onto the handle tightly.

"Dust don't you dare!"

I opened the door, blinking in surprise as I saw who was outside. "N-Nightmare?"

"Took you long enough." He muttered, pushing past me so that he could walk into the living room.

I went to shut the door after him as he walked through, but suddenly it was shoved back open, slamming me into the wall as Cross pushed through as well. "C-Cross?! What are you two doing here?"

Nightmare laughed, pulling Cross over to one of the empty sofas which he then sat down on, pulling Cross onto his lap. "There's like eight more of us."

"Wha--" I didn't get to finish my sentence as the door was slammed into me again. I groaned, falling to the floor as I watched Nightmare and Cross' five kids walk in, barely giving me a second glance.

Seeing all of them, I immediately grew hopeful, praying who I thought might walk though the door would actually do it.

"Dust!"

I scrambled to my feet, grabbing onto Blue as he walked through the door before hugging him tightly to my chest. "Oh Blue...I missed you so much!"

Blue blushed, giggling and hugging back as I peppered his face with kisses. "I-I missed you too!"

A sudden force barrelling into my side signified Sprinkle ramming me down in a hug, happy to see me again. "Hai Dad!"

I laughed, leaning down to pick him up in my arms. "Heya Sprinkle, what are you doing here?"

I glanced over at Nightmare and Cross for my answer.

"X came." Was Nightmare's only response as he nuzzled Cross softly.

"He chased you out?!"

Nightmare nodded wordlessly, his attention shifting to Horror and Lust as their kid suddenly jumped on them and splayed out over them.

"Wh-Wha--?!" Horror let out a startled yelp, jolting awake suddenly.

Their kid giggled, hugging both of them.

As soon as Horror realised that the thing that had jumped on him was his kid, he hugged back, laughing. "Oh Desire! Heya!"

Lust, who was mumbling sleepy nonsense, hugged back, but I don't think he really knew what was happening other than someone he knew was on him and Horror was hugging them so he was going to as well.

I felt Blue drag me over to the last sofa with no one on it and I collapsed on it, immediately hugging my smol and my child.

I glanced over at Killer as he smirked at me, rolling my eyes and sticking his tongue out. I stuck my tongue out in response, snickering.

"Congratulations, you two haven't matured one bit over fifteen years." Nightmare grunted, making the rest of us laugh quietly.

"Let them have their moment Nighty..." Cross mumbled, closing his eyes as he snuggled closer to his goopy octopus.

As soon as Cross said those words Killer's friend seemed to have a heart attack of some sort.

He had been sat up -having woke up a few minutes ago- and was looking at the wall dully, facing the opposite way as Nightmare and Cross. But as soon as Cross said that he whipped around so fast that I thought he'd been shot or something. He stared dead at Nightmare, his eyes narrowed.

Nightmare blinked, glancing over at him. "Uhh..." He glanced at me and I shrugged. Nightmare glanced at him and suddenly narrowed his eye, his tentacles twitching.

Cross just sat innocently in between the two of them, not really sure what he'd done or said to trigger the two of them glaring at each other. "Umm...Nighty?"

Nightmare seemed to snap out of his trance-like phase and immediately looked down at Cross, kissing his cheek. "Hm?"

Cross blushed, snuggling up to his chest. "Nothing..."

Nightmare snickered, cuddling him as he glanced over at Killer's friend.

He was still staring at Nightmare like he was a skeleton covered in black slime with four tenta-- oh...wait--

Error decided to break the awkward tension with a rather obvious fake cough. "Well then...what now. As you can see, we weren't really expecting guests."

I snorted, kissing the top of Blue's skull. "This place would be just as much of a mess if we knew Blue and the others were coming and you know it."

Error rolled his eyes, pulling Ink closer go him. "True, I was just trying to break the thick tension in this room."

"Yeah...the tension is so thick that Cross could probably cut through it with one of his knives." I joked, earning a snicker out of Cross.

"I could try, but it would be a bit of a disappointing thing to watch."

"Yeah, true. It would be a bit depressing."

"Life is depressing." Killer muttered, making me nod in acknowledgment.

Error went to say something, but then suddenly we froze as a set of quick knocks rang out at the door.

I narrowed my eyes, looking over at Nightmare. "Who else did you bring?!"

"No one!" He hissed, looking at the door as his tentacles curled around Cross and his kids slightly.

We all went silent, flinching as another set of knocks rang out. They were quick and purposeful, seeming rather frantic.

"Dust don't--"

I was already up on my feet, walking over to the door. Whoever was out there didn't seem to have any malicious intent...I think.

The knocks rang out one more time and I opened the door, immediately freezing as I saw who it was.

"You?!"

The cloaked cop stumbled past me and into the living room, looking over all of us.

Ink stood up, blinking. "R-Reaper?"

Reaper looked at Ink, panting softly. It looked like he'd just ran a marathon to get here. "I-I need your help."

"What is it?"

"It's Geno. He's been framed."
