Troubled pasts (a Horrorlust story)

The plan

Lusts POV
I slowly opened my eyes, I expected horrors arms to be wrapped around me, but as I looked around, horror wasn't there. I felt sad, I didn't want to remember a time when I wasn't snuggling with him "don't worry babe, we're gonna set you free" I whispered to myself, hoping that he would somehow hear me. I heard someone walk down the stairs "MoRnIn'" error muttered as he sat next to me on the sofa with a cup of coffee "WaNt SoMe?" I shook my head "TcH, MoRe FoR mE"

"Is ThErE aNyWhErE eLsE wE cAn GeT eViDeNcE?" We began to think, until I had another flashback.

I saw error, fighting ink again, but then I saw all of the other dancers, including myself. They all stood around awkwardly, until I tried to intervene in the fight, but then error dragged me out the building.

"HeY...lUsT...hElLoOoOo? LuSt!" I was snapped out of my thoughts by error "huh-what?!" "WhAt'S uP?" "You all went to the place I used to work, right" he nodded "YeP, tHe PiNk NeSt, HaVeN't BeEn ThErE iN a WhIlE. WhY?" "Maybe we could get more info there, if you went there then horrors most likely gone there as well" "Oh...ThAt'S aCtUAlLy A gOoD iDeA, i'Ll Go AnD dO tHaT wHiLe YoU sEaRcH tHe CoMpUtEr" "why not I go, since I know people there" error crossed his arms, I quickly remembered why "oh...yeah" "I'm SuRpRiSeD yOu FoRgOt"

Errors POV
I teleported to the pink nest, it looked exactly the same as how I remembered it, however it was the early morning, so it didn't look very open, but I saw what I assumed was one of the workers outside, he looked like he was searching through his keys to find the right one, I approached them, they were clearly confused about why someone was here this early "um hello. Can I help you? I'm dr-" he squeaked as I held him against the wall, his keys dropped onto the floor, he tried to scream but I covered his mouth.

"YoU dOn'T kNoW mE, bUt I nEeD sOmEtHiNg FrOm In ThErE" he quickly looked around for someone to help, but the town was empty "I'm GoNnA rEmOvE mY hAnD nOw, ArE yOu GoNnA bE QuIeT?" He nodded rapidly, I removed my hand from his mouth, the only sounds he made were quiet whimpering "um...W-what do you want from me?!" He said while closing his eyes, the way he shivered in fear was amusing to me.

"JuSt YoUr SeCuRiTy FoOtAgE" he was still terrified, but slightly confused "um...W-why?" "Do YoU nEeD tO kNoW?!" I raised my voice he started to sweat "eek! N-no, okay I'll get it, how much d-do you need?" "AlL oF iT" "a-all of it?" I glared at him "ah! O-okay, c-come in"

He pulled out some keys and shakily unlocked the door. I chuckled as I saw him run towards the camera monitor, occasionally stumbling and tripping over his own feet and wincing in pain.

"O-okay here we are" after he logged in I shoved him out the way and downloaded all the footage into a usb I had on my keychain "h-hey! You can't just steal a-all the footage, we need that!" he glared at me while puffing out his cheeks, he tried to look intimidating, but he looked somewhat adorable.

I almost felt bad for him after he shrunk as I towered over him, but I was having too much fun to care about that "I wIlL dO wHaTeVeR i WaNt, AnD yOu WoNt sToP mE, gOt It?!" He covered his eyes and cowered in fear on the floor, he was almost in tears "o-okay fine! Take what you want, j-just please don't h-hurt me!"

After it finished downloading, I took the usb and approached the now panicking skeleton "ThAt'S aLl I nEeDeD, tHaNkS" I patted his shivering head and teleported back to my house.

Third person POV
After error returned home, lust was still trying to find something that would help. "AnYtHiNg?" Lust shook his head with disappointment. "What about you?" Error held the usb "YeP" he said while looking smug "what's in it?" "Oh NoThInG, jUsT tHe CaMeRa FoOtAgE fRoM tHe EnTiRe ClUb EvEr SiNcE iT oPeNeD" lust gasped "that's amazing! How did you get it?" Error tried to think of a lie, he knew that lust wouldn't probably be happy if he found out that error threatened one of his old friends.

"UmMm, I...a-AsKeD pOlItLeY" error flashed a shaky grin, lust wasn't at all convinced by errors lie, "you stole it didn't you?" Error nodded.

*1 week later*

Horrors POV
I sat in the bed, occasionally glancing at my soul monitor, watching the line going up and down, waiting for something interesting to happen, for lust to see me, for anyone to see me "I wonder how lust is coping with this?" I asked myself.

My thoughts were interrupted when I saw a nurse walk into the room "horror? Someone would like to see you" she asked calmly "alright" I expected lust to walk in and hug me, but instead I saw someone I hadn't seen in years.

"HeLlO oLd FrIeNd" I gasped as error stood near me, my body was filled with questions "...error?" He walked next to me and leaned on my bed "HeH, tHe OnE aNd OnLy" I was almost in tears "I...I-I don't know what to say?" "WeLl, MaYbE yOu CoUlD sAy 'HeLlO'" he responded smugly, I brought him in for a hug, the error signs around him started to glitch and multiply as I held him tightly "L̢̩̖̬͍̮̒̂̊̾͗͘͜͠E̙̳̫͓̣̾̉͒̽͝Ṫ̛̛̖̺̝̪̩̭̼͖͂̊̉̈̆̾͟ ̢̲̳̦̽́͋͠G͖͍̒͡Ȏ̧̩̝̦͉̗̜̘̙́͗́̒̒́̐͞ ̘̙̣́͋̑Ò̘̹́̔͟F̧̼̱̥̜̖͕̯̀̓̂̀̀̀͝͠ ̧̛̲̫̣̬͕̖̥̯̽̒̈́̀̊̾̚͠M̗̥̤̯͍̜͎̖̽̄̋̓̒̽͛͜͝͝Ę͚͙͕̤̦̠̤́́̇̃͒́̀͗̕͜!̧͈͉͕͂͒̔̀̄ͅ"͕̠̯̼̌̃̍͘ I quickly removed my grip from him "heh, whoops, should've remembered your anti-hugs policy" I spoke with sarcasm and chuckled as he re-adjusted his clothes "FoR tHe LaSt TiMe It'S cAlLeD hApHePhObIa!"

After I stopped laughing, he sat on the end of my bed "So...HoW hAvE yOu BeEn SiNcE...y'KnOw...ThE fAmIly" "well considering that since then I've nearly died several times, had sex twice, been tortured with a shock collar and have been put on death row, I'm doing great" I replied sarcastically "YoU'rE nOt SaD aBoUt It?...AnD mOrE iMpOrTaNtLy, YoU hAd SeX?!"

I cackled at his overreaction, I nodded "obviously I am sad because I'm gonna die, but I knew I was gonna get caught eventually, I just didn't think I'd be leaving anyone behind. And yes I did have sex...how's lust doing?"

"He DiDn'T tAkE iT wElL, hE's DeSpErAtElY tRyInG tO fInD a WaY tO gEt YoU rElEaSeD" I nodded in response, I was saddened by this, after all he's been through, now he's gonna loose me, but I was also lifted by the fact that lust was willing to do nearly anything to get me out of here "AlSo, DuRiNg YoUr TrIaL i'M gOnNa NeEd YoU tO aCt DuMb" his request took me off guard "what?" "JuSt AcT sTuPiD...oR iN yOuR cAsE, nOrMaL" I glared at him "fuck you! You weren't exactly the brains of the group back then either!"

"LoOk, HoNeStLy I dOn'T tHiNk ThIs Is GoNnA wOrK, bUt At LeAsT tRy, LuSt WiLl PrObAbLy Be In HyStErIcS fOr ThE rEsT oF hIs LiFe If YoU dIe...PlEaSe" I sighed "ugh, fine I'll try, but I can't make any promises" "ThAnKs"

Third person POV
As lust looked at the footage in the club, he felt a huge wave of nostalgia, as he switched to different cameras, looking at old footage, he saw himself, socialising with his friends, having fun, smiling, dancing, occasionally winking at fell, when he looked at himself kissing blue, he felt tears escape his eyes, but not tears of sadness, it was happy tears, observing the happiness blue felt from lusts affection, and seeing everyone continuing to have fun and perform, even after lust left was heartwarming to him.

After some searching, he found the day he was looking for, the day lust got raped by error, he saw error and ink punching and kicking each other, and then he saw the other gang members, all horror did was stand there and not do anything. "Ugh this isn't enough!" Lust whined as he rested his head in his hands.

"C'mon lust, you've gotta keep going, you have to save horror."
