Troubled pasts (a Horrorlust story)

The lawyer

Third person POV
It was only a few days until horrors trial, lust had been visiting him nearly every day, making sure he was okay, thankfully horror could walk without any help now.

Lust was currently on his way to collect horror, who was scheduled to be discharged from the hospital today, but as he navigated the hospital to his room, there were whispers and mumbling amongst the other people, some of them were staring at him, were they talking about lust? Was horror okay? Lust picked up the pace, listening to his heels click as he walked.

After a long walk around the maze that was the hospital, he finally reached horrors room, but as he got closer, he felt a bad feeling in his stomach, like something was wrong, he walked in and was surprised to find an empty bed, after double checking that he was definitely in the right room, he ran to a nearby nurse.

"E-excuse me" "oh, can I help you?" "Yeah, h-have you seen Horror Axe?" "Him? I think he was discharged an hour ago, are you a friend?" "I'm his boyfriend, did you know who took him?" "Aww that's so cute" lust started to blush at her compliment "but I think he was taken by some policemen"

Lusts face dropped, his mouth changed into a frown "are you okay sir?" she asked, concerned for lust "...n-no, my boyfriends been arrested" he started to tear up "hey, hey it's alright, calm down" she spoke calmly while gently rubbing lusts shoulder. "What am I gonna do, his trial is in a few days and I don't know what to do, I barely have any evidence" the nurse scratched her head "unfortunately I'm not the kind of person who's helpful in these situations, but if you're in need of a lawyer" she moved her hand around in her pocket before handing lust a business card.

"Give them a call, ask for mtt" she wiped away his tears and walked away.

Lusts POV
Mtt. I heard that name before, I used to watch his performances, I idolised him, I was confused about why he was also a lawyer, but I didn't have any other options.

After walking all the way back to errors house, he greeted me as I walked inside. "HeY lUsT...wHeRe'S hOrRoR?" "He's been taken to prison" errors eyes widened "Oh ShIt, ThAt MuSt MeAn ThAt HiS tRiAl Is SoOn" "in a few days" I corrected him "thankfully one of the nurses gave me a business card for a lawyer" error scoffed and rolled his eyes "WeLl I pErSoNaLlY tHiNk I'm A gReAt LaWyEr" error mumbled jokingly, I giggled in response "error I don't think either of us would be good lawyers" error rolled his eyes "FiNe, WhO's ThIs LaWyEr?"

I handed error the card "....MtT? HoWs He GoNnA hElP? uNlEsS hE tRiEs To SeDuCe ThE jUdGe Or SoMeThInG" I shrugged my shoulders while error typed in the number.

"HeLlO? Hi....I'd LiKe To HiRe A lAwYeR...yEs MtT...In tHrEe SeCoNdS?...sUrE." He hung up the call. "YoU mIgHt WaNnA mOvE" "what? Why-"

Suddenly the door was kicked open, I moved at the last second, the room was flooded with pink mist, there was an approaching silhouette, slowly and gracefully stepping into the house, as the smoke cleared I looked at his outfit, he was dressed in a black metallic, shiny and sparkly suit, his hair was also jet black and all combed to one side, with bright pink highlights all over it, his outfit was complete with some bright pink stilettos and some black shades. He chuckled deeply.

"Did someone call for a lawyer? Have no fear darlings, because mettaton is here!" He took off his glasses and struck a glamorous pose in the doorway, he had very feminine makeup, along with long fluttering eyelashes and bright pink lipstick.

His grand entrance was interrupted when error approached him with an annoyed look on his face "YeS, bUt I dIdN't CaLl FoR mY fRoNt dOoR tO bE kIcKeD oPeN!" Mettaton ignored errors complaint.

"Oooohhh myyyy, your voice is sooooo sexy~" error blushed like crazy at mettatons sudden compliment "we need your help" he turned towards me "first of all, big fan, second, our friend is being put on trial for crimes he committed in the past" "like what?" "Weeeell....theft, murder, mass genocide, man slaughter, cannibalism and...I think that's it?" Mettaton looked like he was about to throw up "...I-I should hope so" "AlSo HiS tRiAl Is In A fEw DaYs" "is there any way you can help?"

Mettaton rubbed the back of his head "well...this isn't gonna be easy darlings, but I'll do my best" I wrapped my arms around him "thank you, thank you so much!" Mettaton hugged back and patted my head "no problem darlings."

Errors POV
"AlRiGhT hOw MuCh Do We HaVe To PaY?" Mettaton pulled away from lust and thought to himself "well...for something like this, and for hiring one of the most successful and gorgeous lawyers in the world, it costs a pretty penny darling, but..." he got closer to me "I'll be willing to do it aaaaaall for free, if I get something from you in return babes~" I shivered as he whispered in my ear "a-AnD wHaT wOuLd T-tHaT bE?" He looked into my eyes with a seductive grin.

"If I get a kiss from you~"

I turned into a flustered mess, I moved away and tried to calm down my blushing face "No No AbSoLuTlEy NoT!" Lust was laughing out loud "hahaha-aww c'mon error we need him" lust pleaded "yes you need me gorgeous, and I'm not gonna do it, unless you give me a kiss" he started stroking my jaw, weirdly I didn't glitch out "W-wAiT gEt OfF mE-" I froze after Mettaton cupped my cheeks with his hands and pulled me in for a kiss on the lips.

After he pulled away, lust started laughing, my face was bright blue "there, thank you for your delicious payment~" Mettaton giggled playfully, I snapped out of my trance "WhAt ThE- gEt OfF mE!" I shoved him off "alright alright. Now let's get to work"

Lusts POV
It was now the evening, and Mettaton had been working since he arrived, his eyes were practically glued to his paperwork and horrors computer, unless error was in the room, then he would just wink at him flirtatiously.

I found error on a balcony outside his room, smoking a cigarette, I stood next to him, trying to cover myself with my jacket because of the cold air.

"HeY"

"Hi, um...can I have one?" He raised an eyebrow at me "YoU sMoKe?" I nodded "yeah, back when I was at the pink nest I needed something to cope with fells abuse, now it's just a thing I like to do sometimes" he handed me a cigarette, he used the end of his to light mine, after we breathed out I saw the smoke from our mouths merge and form a love heart before fading away, errors cheeks had a faint shade of blue "W-WhAt ThE hElL?" "It's okay, i-it's my fault, whenever I smoke it d-does that...I'm sorry" I admitted "S'fInE" he muttered.

After a few minutes, occasionally watching the smoke fade away into the air, error attempted to start a conversation "So...HoW hAvE yOu BeEn...SiNcE wE lAsT sAw EaCh OtHeR pRoPeRlY?" I took another deep breath into my cigarette "not great....obviously you know I shot fell, and lost all my friends, was rapped several times, tried to kill myself, nearly burnt to death, and now the man I love is probably gonna die" "Um...So, NoT gReAt?" I nodded.

Soon, error noticed that I was cold, he took off his hoodie and gave it to me "HeRe" I grabbed it and wore it over my jacket, it was so smooth and warm "t-thanks" "No PrObLeM" "also...thank you...for helping me. I-I couldn't have done it without you" "TcH, iT's ThE lEaSt I cOuLd Do."

Error started chuckling "what's funny?" "Oh NoThInG, i JuSt NeVeR tHoUgHt ThAt AfTeR wHaT hApPeNeD bEtWeEn Us, We'D bE wOrKiNg ToGeThEr" I giggled quietly "heheh, me too"

As we looked around at the stars, a raindrop landed on my cigarette, extinguishing it, soon it started to rain faster "C'mOn, It'S gEtTiNg LaTe" error quickly dragged me inside and closed the doors.

"Wait, mettaton is working on the sofa, so where am I gonna sleep?" I asked, there were no spare rooms, or sleeping bags. "Oh....ShIt" error rested a hand on his chin as he tried to think of a solution, he clicked his fingers "I kNoW"

He began to use his strings to create a large wall and using it to separate the bed down the middle "Ta-Da! NoW pIcK a SiDe" I sat down on the left side of the bed and took off my boots and jacket, while error began to undress behind the other side "AlSo If YoU lOoK, i WiLl KiLl YoU" I chuckled at his exaggeration, but part of me thought that he wasn't kidding.

"NiGhT" error said while climbing into his side of the bed, as I rested my head into the pillow, after spending so many nights in box beds, I forgot how relaxing this felt, I fell asleep instantly.

Dreading the date of the trial.
