Ehhh.. Yeah, I've been gone for a little while.

Chapter start

Error stared at Trivial, who was currently on his lap playing with some sort of a bear plushie that Nightmare got him the other day.

He was concerned, to say the least.

He may not know a lot about kids, but the fact that Trivial could already walk, but not talk, just seemed off to him.

The concerns started when Cross asked him, if Trivial had said his first word. When Error answered that no, Cross began to explain that kids usually learn to talk first, then walk.

There also exists the fact that Trivial is usually around Cross and Killer, so him not catching at least one word to repeat was weird.

Trivial doesn't have any trouble with understanding what everyone says to him, even with Error's glitchy voice.

He suddenly tensed up when Trivial looked at him, and started to reach with his one free hand towards Error's face.

He relaxed when Trivial just gave him a slight pat on the cheek.

"WAWAHA!" Trivial shouted and he started giggling.

Error just smiled and shook his head in humor at that.

"What are you up to?"

Error jumped at the sudden voice, but relaxed a little when he realized that it was just Dust with Horror beside him.

"NoTHing REallY." He answered truthfully, yet again looking at Trivial who seemed amazed by how these two appeared so suddenly.

Horror took a few steps forward, and stopped when being in front of Error. Error just raised his brow at him, and Horror just reached with both of his forward.

Error just blinked a few times when Trivial did the same towards Horror.

Error laid down on his bed leaving Trivial on his lap, and Horror took that as a permission to take him, so he swiftly scooped Trivial in his arms.

Error closed his eyes trying to maybe fall asleep but he opened them again after he suddenly felt some weight on top of him.

He saw Dust, who seemed to decide to cuddle with Error.

Dust hid his face in Error's chest and tightly wrapped his arms around him.

Error just rolled his eyes and hugged Dust back.

Not counting Trivial's babbling from time to time, or Horror's giggles, everything was quiet.

"Are you... Alright?" Came Dust's voice as he tilted his head to look at Error. The question also caught Horror's attention, so he looked at them.

Error blinked a couple of times before answering "i'M fiNe."

Then, Error sweat dropped at the look he got from Dust.

"Error..." Horror whispered making Error look at him with raised brows "I-I... I know that... You do-don't want any-one to worry, but... Heh... It's not working."

Error's eyes widened at this. Horror almost never used full sentences.

"Horror is right." Dust said as he sit up beside Error "Don't try to lie to us, it's not going to work."

Error looked once at Dust, and one at Horror. Finally, he sighed and opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

"BABAH~!" Trivial suddenly spoke up making Error eyes snap towards him.

"weLL, YoU sEE-"

"HEY ERROR!"

The three skeletons flinched at the sudden, cheerful voice that echoed through the hallways.

Error immediately recognized the voice.

-------------------------------------------------

"Mind telling us, just what are you doing here?" Nightmare asked, one of his hands covering the left side of his face, where was supposed to be his ear, briefly in pain.

"WELL, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE ERROR HAS LAST VISITED, SO I STARTED TO GET WORRIED!" All Error could do was stare at the little, blue skeleton, who was standing in the living room in Nightmare's castle.

"uUHhh... YeAh, I'Ve bEEn PRettY BUsY laTEly. sOrrY." Error said, scratching the back of his neck.

Blue just looked at Trivial who was still in Horror's arms.

"I CAN SEE THAT!"

Blue took a few steps towards both of them, but stopped when Horror just narrowed his eyes at him.

"I MEAN NO HARM, SCARY ME!" Error couldn't help but smirk at the nickname.

Horror just looked towards Error, who nodded at him. Horror gaze found itself on the floor, and he hesitantly reached Trivial towards Blue. The skeleton just squealed and quickly grabbed Trivial.

"AND WHAT'S YOUR NAME, TINY ME?"

"This is Trivial." Killer answered, having an arm wrapped around Cross, and also a smug look on his face.

Error looked at the two of them and he noticed that Cross had a frown on his face.

He started to wonder what these two were doing to get Cross in such a bad mood, and for Killer to seem so proud of himself.

"AND WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS, TRIVIAL?"

In that moment everyone looked at Error.

"WELL, THAT ANSWERS THAT!" Blue laughed at that, and then looked at Trivial with pure admiration in his eyes. "ERROR IS YOUR DADDY, I SUPPOSE?"

"DAWAH~?"  Trivial just looked at him confused.

"Error is an overprotective daddy, if anything." Killer said, coming closer to Blue, finally letting go of Cross. "And Dust is an overprotective mommy."

Dust's head snapped towards Killer.

"Shut up." He hissed. Error did take notice of the slight purple blush on his face.

"Pffft- What? I'm just saying the truth here!" Killer started laughing at Dust's embarrassment. "Dusty is a good mommy!"

"Say that again, I dare you-"

"DUSTY IS A GOOD MOMMY~!"

"Okay. That's it, you're dead."

Killer screamed and quickly started to run in the direction of one of the halls in the castle. Dust not waisting any time immediately started to run after him.

There was a few seconds of silence.

"Well... That happened." Cross suddenly spoke up.

"OH! BEFORE I FORGET!" Blue looked at Error, still holding Trivial in his arms. "I WANTED TO HANG OUT WITH YOU, IF YOU DON'T MIND!"

"....HAnG oUt?"

"YEAH! TRIVIAL CAN JOIN US!" Error shivered at the last sentence.

"... I'm nOt SUre IF hE sHoulD LEaVe tHe CasTLe."

Killer wasn't wrong when he said that Error is overprotective. He can't possibly stand the thought of Trivial getting hurt.

"...WELL, HE SHOULD SEE MORE OF THE MULTIVERSE. BETTER SOONER THEN LATER IN THIS CASE!"

"...OKaY."

--------------------------------------------------

'I'm really starting to regret this...' Error though, while watching Trivial roam around the cliff of OuterTale. Of course, if anything were to happend, he will prevent it. But, paranoia is not one thing to mess with.

"HEY ERROR?" Error gaze snapped towards Blue who was standing beside him, looking at him concerned "ARE YOU OK?"

Error just looked once at Blue and once at Trivial, and his gaze finally stopped at the concerned skeleton.

"...nO."

Blue's brows furrowed, and he suddenly got a serious look on his face.

"WHAT HAPPENED?"

"It'S aBoUt TrIVial."

Blue looked towards Trivial for a few seconds, before his gaze turned yet again towards Error.

"... THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIM?"

"No!... It's JUst... I'M conCerNEd ThAt I'm NOt bEIng a REallY GooD DAd."

Blue just looked at him wide eyed.

"WHAT? WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?!"

Error could only sigh, avoiding Blue's gaze.

"I Am ERroR. ThE DeSTroyEr. i CouLd nEVer poSSibLy bE a GOoD PAreNt... I alrEAdy suCk aT tHIs SIncE I caN't GeT TrIviAl tO tALk."

Blue stared at him dumbfounded.

"YOU'RE CONCERNED THAT YOU'RE NOT MAKING A GOOD DAD.... BECAUSE TRIVIAL STILL DIDN'T LEARN HOW TO TALK?"

Gods, now that Error thinks about it, it really is a silly reason.

Blue sighed before speaking up "LISTEN ERROR. I MAY NOT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR SO LONG - just barely a few hours - BUT I CAN ALREADY TELL THAT TRIVIAL LOVES YOU! PRETTY SURE THAT JUST AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE HIM!"

"Bu-BUt I dOn'T-"

"Dawa~!"

Error gaze snapped towards Trivial, that suddenly found himself pulling at Error's pants as if to gain his attention.

"yeS? WhAt iS it?"

Error and Blue only looked at each other confused when Trivial started pointing at the three of them, and starting to open his mouth just to close it again as if trying to say something.

"D-da..." Trivial pointed at Error and then at himself.

Error looked at Blue, and he saw him looking at Trivial wide eyed also with stars in his eyes.

"Da-da... D-d-da... Da-da-daddy!"

Error's eyes widened and he scooped Trivial into his arms.

"WhAt- WhAT wAs tHAt?"

"DADDY! DADDY! DADDY!" Trivial broke into a fit of giggles.

Subconsciously, a wide smile grew on Error's face as he gave Trivial a pat on the head.

"GOod JoB."

"DAWWWW! THIS IS SOOO CUUUUTE~!" Blue suddenly screamed wiping an non existent tears from his eyes sockets.

Error could only laugh at that, and he hugged Trivial close to him. The child eagerly hugged his now daddy back, and you can hear Blue fan girling in the background.

And of course, someone just had to ruin the moment.

"BLUE! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?"
