Killer POV

I motioned for Epic, my friend, to come over to me and my friend, Outer. Epic hesitated for a moment, I knew he was an introvert so I didn't push him. He smiled at Outer.

"Hello." Epic says, waving a bit. Outer beams.

"Hiya! I'm OuterTale Sans! Call me Outer though, please! You must be a friend of Killer's?" Outer chirps, holding out his hand for Epic to shake. Epic gladly shakes his hand, smiling at Outer.

"Yes, I'm EpicTale Sans...uh, Epic for short. It's nice to meet you, Outer." Epic says.

"So, what brings you here, Epic? I thought you and oreo were staying back at your guys place?" I ask him, curious.

"Ah. Nah, Cross got invited to go to the movies by...um...Dream..." Epic says, glancing back to Dream, who was looking our way, but talking to Cross.

I could practically feel the tension between the two of them as Epic quickly turns back to us after just a split second of eye-contact with Dream. That's weird, not gonna lie, usually Dream smiles or something, but, he frowned at Epic.

Huh. I couldn't help but wonder what was going on between the two of them. I was generally curious about them both.

"So- Uh. You were brought along?" I ask Epic, trying to change the subject.

"Oh. Yeah. I was brought along with Cross. He offered to walk me here and you know...I can't say no to him."

"Hah, I know all about it~," I tease him. He glares playfully at me. Outer snickers.

"Oh my stars, you two seem to have known each other for a while, huh?" Outer asks, then yelps as Bird comes up from behind him, wrapping him in a hug. "Bird? What're you doing here?"

"Nothing, can I not just come and visit you? You weren't at home, I asked Saturn so I knew you had to be here." Bird explains to Outer who just smiles a bit.

"Righhhht, okay, stalker."

"STALKER!?" Bird jumps away from Outer. "I'm not a stalker! I just wanted to see you! Is there something wrong with that?"

"Nope~! This is Killer! I was telling you about him, right? The other day!" Outer says, motioning to me, I wave at Bird.

"Ah! It's great to finally meet you! I'm Outer's best friend, Bird~!" Bird says, with pride soaking his voice, he was happy to be Outer's number one friend.

 Epic POV 

Killer snickers, Outer gently pushes Bird. "Who said you were my best friend, huh?" Outer says, a clear smile on his face.

"Ohoho! I'm not your best friend in the whole world?" Bird asks Outer. Outer sighs, still smiling.

"Yeah, okay, fine, but we'll have a debate about this tomorrow. I might have a new best friend if you keep stalking me!"

"I'm not stalking you!"

I smile at them.

"Who's this?" Bird asks.

"I'm Epic," I tell him, smiling. Killer nods at me.

"He's my friend, and now Outer's friend too. I guess you can be a social butterfly, huh, Epic?" Killer asks me, joking around. I laugh a bit.

"Yeah, I guess so," I admit.

"Ha! You admit defeat!" Killer yells, jumping up in victory. I glare playfully at him.

"No! No, I don't! You just won a battle! This war is not over yet!" I tell him. He laughs a bit.

"Yeah, ok, fair enough."

Cross suddenly runs up to us, hugging me from behind. I jump slightly at his sudden touch.

"C-Cross?" I ask. He doesn't say anything just hugs me.

"I'll see you at home, okay, Epic? I'll be late, don't wait for me. We'll be going to the movies tonight with Ink too. Apparently Ink broke up with Error as of recently." He whispers to me. "Cya later, dude."

My face heats up intensely and I was suddenly burning up. "Y-Yup, cya, b-bruh!" I call after him, he runs back up to Dream and Ink. Ink didn't look like he had been heartbroken over breaking up with Error. I wondered where Error was.

They seemed so perfect for each other...It's sad to hear they broke up.

I turned back to them. They all said, "Oooh~"

"S-Shut up!" I snap at them all, Killer bursts out laughing, Outer beams at me and Bird just gives me this innocent look as if he hadn't done anything wrong.

"I don't like him," I say. "He's my best friend."

"You don't like him? So, you don't get flustered every time you're around him? You don't love him? You don't want to be with him all the time?" Killer asks me.

"N-No, I don't. I'm fine. Besides, he likes Dream..." I mutter. "He always has."

Killer frowns.

"Anyways, wanna go grab some coffee?" Bird offers, trying to change the topic. Killer nods.

"Yeah, let's do that." He says, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.
