Chapter start

"But that doesn't make any sense!"

"No, you're just too stupid to understand the logic in this."

Error was looking at Cross and Killer, trying to understand what these two were bittering about. They were currently in the kitchen, where Horror was clearly enjoying his meal, while also feeding the baby with a spoon. It was called cereal, for Error's information. Error still doesn't eat much honestly.

"But wha- it's... What- Where is the logic in this?!" Killer yelled and looked at Cross with wide eyes, gripping his skull. Just as Cross was about to respond, a tired and irritated voice cut him off.

"Could you two, just shut up for a moment?" Asked-... No, more like demanded Nightmare.

Error just looked at him with raised brow, a little bit of concern showing in his eyes. Nightmare seemed... Off. For some cursed reason.

Cross and Killer decided to stay quiet, as to not anger their boss who was clearly in a bad mood. Though surprisingly, Horror decided to speak up.

"You... O-okay..?"

Nightmare didn't even spared him a glance, as he walked past him, towards the fridge. Though oh thank God, he did respond.

"As okay as I can be."

That answer made Error even more worried. Surely, something had to happen to make him act like this. But the question is, what exactly? Error was used to Nightmare's constant lies, about him being fine, even though he wasn't. This was one of those times.

Killer and Cross teleported out of the room, informing the skeletons in the kitchen that they decided that they should ignore their boss for the rest of the day, as to not accidentally dump into him when he needed to let out his anger. And that happened before. Both of them learned to stay as far away as possible.

Horror was looking at Nightmare with concern, but decided not to do anything. He didn't want to risk his amr getting broken by angering him. The last time he did, he ended up with his left leg crushed-

Horror shivered at the memory.

Error on the other hand, was gonna confront Nightmare about it. He didn't care if Nightmare attacked him, he would dodge, and if Nightmare would manage to break his bones? Oh well. It's not he's not used to it.

**********************************

Error teleported outside of Nightmare's office and knocked three times. He knew Nightmare was in there, but Error decided to try and not anger the King.

"Come in." Error just furrowed his brows when he heard the tone of his voice.

Error opened the door and came inside locking it behind him. Nightmare was going through some papers on his desk, with a scowl on his face.

"What?" He spat out, and Error just took a step back, hearing that warning in his tone. Error actually consider turning back and forget all about this, but he realized that it was too late to back out now.

"I waNtEd To TAlk tO yOu." Nightmare jumped at hearing Error's voice. Well, he clearly didn't expect him to come here. He slowly put the papers down, and in a matter of seconds he was standing in front of Error.

"About?"

"WiLL yOU teLL ME WHaT haPPenD?" Nightmare shivered at the question, and turn his back to Error.

"I am in high belief that it doesn't concern you, does it?" Error just sighed, and ignoring the glitches that appeared he gripped Nightmare's shoulder.

"I dOn't kNOw. doEs iT?" Nightmare just looked at him with that bright cyan eye of his. In the dark room, his eye seemed to be the only source of the light.

Nightmare put his hand on the one resting on his shoulder. Error didn't really know what to do in this situation. He honestly expected for Nightmare to break his hand, and not to be so... Gentle.

Nightmares eye landed on the ground in wonder, but also to avoid Error's gaze.

"I'm just..." Oh woah. Error didn't expect for Nightmare's tone to turn so gentle either. Nightmare gaze snapped towards Error, and the glitchy skeleton eyes widened when he looked into Nightmare's eye. "Lost."

Nightmare turned his body towards Error, and he gripped both of his hands tightly. Error didn't dare to even move. More likely... He didn't want to.

"I don't understand why everyone thinks we are the bad guys. Responsible for every single bad thing that happens in the Multiverse. The Sanses are supposed to be the judges, but why are they judging us by rumors? By what their creator said..? Heh, and to think that I ate the apples to prove everyone that I'm a good person."

Error just looked at Nightmare with sympathy, feeling sorry for his sorrow. But he also felt angry. Not at Nightmare, but at the supposed to be 'good' Sanses. Oh God, it's been a while since he actually wanted and would most probably enjoy destroying an AU.

"It DOesN't mAttEr wHaT evErYOne eLsE THinkS. As lOnG aS yOu hAVe yOuR FAmiLy, thAt cAReS AbOut YoU, evEryTHing WIll bE oKay." Error lifted Nightmare's chin, so the other one could look him straight in the eyes.

Nightmare just stared at Error for a few seconds, before smiling.

"Huh, didn't think of it that way. Thank you, Error."

Error could only smile in return, before suddenly Nightmare's face found itself in Error's collarbone. Then he felt as tentacles began to wrap around him.

He tried to move away only for Nightmare's tentacles to wrap more tightly around him.

"Don't struggle. I want to fucking hug you."

Ahhh, there he was!

Error just chuckled lightly at that sentence. It seems like the King of Negativity was back.

Error wrapped his arms around Nightmare, and closed his eyes just enjoying the moment.

"AWAH~!"

Both skeletons jumped upon hearing that sound.

Nightmare's tentacles quickly let go of Error, and they both stepped away from one another.

Error eyes widened when he realized that Trivial was the one that made that sound. He quickly teleported in front of him and picked him up.

"TriViAl! YoU shOuLdn't rOAm arOUnd THe plAce lIkE thAt. It'S NoT saFe."

"WAHAH~!" Was the only answer he got in return. Error couldn't help but chuckle at that.

"He... Came here by himself?" Nightmare asked with slight disbelief in his voice.

"I knOw, RiGHt?"

"But uhh... The door was closed, wasn't it?" Nightmare asked and raised his brow at Error who just shrugged.

"Eh. fiGuRed thAt hE cAn TeLEpoRt, I gUeSS." Error answered and looked at Nightmare who was watching the kid with amusement. Then, he raised his hand and pet Trivial on the top of his head.

"Good job, Trivial."

"OHOH~!" Error couldn't stop the smile working his way up to his face.

Hey, he thinks he's doing a good job of taking care of the baby. With the help of the others, who knows? Maybe this whole 'family' could have at least one stable member!
