Countdown

Woof bark bark bork 22k beyork bark bork woof

---Horror's POV----

I laughed as Lust shivered in my arms.

"Stop laughing I'm actually freezing!" He whined as he desperately cuddled closer to me.

Even with his additional gloves, hat, scarf, and hoodie, he was clearly frozen. I sighed and rolled my eyes before slipping my hoodie off.

I shivered slightly as the cold air hit my bones, but I ignored it and wrapped my hoodie over Lust's shoulders. It was far to big and absolutely swamped him, but as soon as it was put on he stopped shivering.

"Better?" I asked.

He nodded and leaned against me. "Thanks..."

I hummed and hugged him closer. Now it was me hugging him for warmth instead of the other way round from a few minutes ago.

I glanced at the others to see they were in similar situations. We were all out in the courtyard, waiting to be let into the warmth of the school hallways and classrooms.

But if course the school has some dumb excuse about us not being able to go in until a specific time while they put salt grit outside round the field and all that shit.

So everyone was crowded outside, freezing their butts off. Including me and the others.

We were all here. Except for Nightmare, Cross and Killer. They were either ill, couldn't be asked to come to school, or just hadn't turned up yet. Error had his little artist with him, the two of them were currently cuddled up to each other just like Lust and I.

Suddenly a teacher came into view at the main entrance with some keys and immediately the courtyard erupted with noise and shouting, everyone pushing and shoving each other to get closer to the doors so that they could escape to the warmth of the corridors.

The guys and I hung back, picking the choice of being colder for a little longer over the option of being trampled to death by frantic students desperate to get warm.

Lust leant against me softly and I pulled him closer, loving the adorable squeak he let out. He looked up at me and I kissed him quickly on the nose, making his face flush purple.

Dust glanced at us and rolled his eyes before looking down at the small Blue skeleton that was cuddling up to his leg. Dust and Fell have been separately pulling the moves on little Blue for the past week, the two of them both trying to gain his affections.

Right now though, Fell was talking to that science nerd, the one I often see staring at us during Break and Lunch. The two of them were quite close at the moment and seemed to be discussing something.

I ignored them and looked over at the main entrance again to see that the crowd had thinned down and now only a few kids were trying to get inside.

"C'mon guys! The crowds thinned, let's go get warm!" I called before starting to walk over, pulling Lust with me.

The others quickly followed and we all walked into the warmth of the corridors together, sighing as the slight warmth hit us. Lust shivered and handed back my hoodie, which I gratefully put back on as we walked down to class.

We all walked in on time for once, not extremely late like usual. The teacher raised his eyebrow as we walked in but didn't comment on our apparent earliness.

We all day in our seats and waited for the bell to ring, signifying the official start to the school day. Which was in about two minutes now.

I glanced out the window and chuckled at the sight of all the perfect sappy kids that were scrambling through the gate, desperate to get into class before the bell went.

Our teacher was watching too, an amused smirk on his face. He's the sort of teacher that'll give you a detention for being a minute late or something. It's happened to me before, and it's annoying.

I looked down at the pencil in my hands boredly, subconsciously fiddling with it as I waited for class to start officially. Suddenly Dust -who was sat next to me- stood up and looked out at something through the window while laughing.

I was quick to look out the window and everyone else followed, looking out the window to see what Dust was laughing at.

I was rather surprised actually. I laughed at the sight of Nightmare, his brother, Cross and Killer all scrambling through the main gates and rushing to the school entrance, looking exactly like those kids desperate not to be late.

The teacher glanced at the clock and smirked. I glanced at it too. They're in our class, and they have forty seconds to make it in before the bell goes.

I could faintly hear Nightmare yelling through the glass of the double glazed window as he yanked the other three along with his tentacles. It was extremely funny to watch, but at the same time it was intense.

As soon as they rushed through the entrance and out of sight, we all snapped our attention to the clock and the door, counting down the seconds to see if they'd make it, or if they'd just burst in, seconds too late.

It was clear that Sir wanted them to be late, he had already got his detention slips out, ready to write down their names and the times they'd be spending detention with him.

As the clock got to ten seconds we all started counting down.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

"Seven!"

We could faintly hear the sound of loud running footsteps and yelling voices drawing closer.

"Six!"

"Five!"

Our chanting got louder as the second hand moved closer to the top of the clock. Sir didn't stop us, he seemed to be finding the whole thing rather amusing really.

"FOUR!"

"THREE!"

"TWO!!"

I guess those four should be expecting detention. What a shame.

"ONE!!!"

Just as the bell rang the door burst open and all for of them stumbled into the classroom, with Nightmare slamming into a desk and collapsing on the floor.

We all cheered and laughed. (At them making it in time or because Nightmare collapsed on the floor?)

"We are NOT late!" Nightmare called from the floor, not even bothering to get back up.

Sir chuckled and stood over him, looking down sceptically as Nightmare rolled over and got to his feet, panting slightly from the running.

"I must say, I feel honoured that you were so worried about getting to class in time." Sir said, a smirk evident in his face.

Nightmare laughed. "Don't you go thinking yourself special pops, I would have stayed at home all day if I had the choice. But Dreamys a goodie-goodie and would never miss school, or tolerate me staying so we had to run."

I glanced at Dream to see him glaring at Nightmare. And it wasn't because of the nickname, it was a proper glare. What happened between those two...?

Nightmare saw the glare and sighed quietly, an almost guilty look on his face. But that look was quickly wiped away as Cross grabbed his arm and dragged him to his seat, which just so happened to be next to Cross.

Killer walked over to his place and Dream went to his at the front of the class by Ink.

Class went pretty quickly from there.

---Time Skip----------------------------------

"What happened between you and Dream?" I asked, staring Nightmare down as he stood in the safety of the doorway, having not wanted to go out in the snow.

Of course Cross, being the hopelessly obsessed thing he is, was by Nightmare's side, not planning on going out in the snow either if Nightmare didn't go.

Nightmare glanced at Cross and sighed. "Dream told me about something he was planning to do and I ruined it for him."

I raised an 'eyebrow'. "Don't you do that all the time...?"

Nightmare laughed sadly. "Yeah, but this one was different..."

I eyed him and he smirked lazily. "I don't regret what I did one bit, but I'm still feeling a little bad."

"What did you do?" I asked curiously.

He simply waved me off and pulled Cross over to himself. "Don't worry about it, you go have a snowball fight with the others or something, we'll be fine."

Cross blushed and hugged him and I shrugged. "Suit yourself. Cya love birds!"

And with that I ran across the field to the others. They waved at me and I snickered at the sight of Killer and Dust making snow angels.

I was about to say something to Lust when I felt something cold hit the back of my head and explode. I whipped round and wiped the snow of the back of my skull.

I could see who'd thrown the snowball and they waved at me, a cocky smirk on their face.

Oh it's on.
