Troubled pasts (a Horrorlust story)

The trial

A/N before you read this chapter I just wanna say that I have absolutely no idea how laws and trials and courtrooms work, so I apologise in advance if there's something that's not realistically accurate.

Horrors POV
"Why am I here?" An officer approached my cell "because people like you deserve to be locked away for a long time" "yeah...I know" "also, you've got a visitor."

As soon as I heard the sound of heels running, I instantly knew it was lust, I grabbed the bars, trying to look around outside my cell, lust made eye contact with me and gasped "...hey horror" he said with pity as he leaned on the door "hey, you look so pretty" he giggled as purple blush spread across his cheeks, he was dressed in a dark purple velvet blazer with black lapels, a black shirt and skirt with a shiny blue belt. "Aww thanks."

"So...you're trials today huh?" I nodded, a sad atmosphere filled the room "I miss you" lust sounded like he was holding back tears "I miss you to" "but hopefully we can get you released" I looked down "yeah..." I knew it was a long shot, but I tried to show a little bit of optimism, mainly because lust was in the room.

"Hey...just in case...um this doesn't work out-I-I'm not saying it'll fail, just a precaution, can we share one last kiss?" He nodded as I placed my lips through the bars, he kissed back, with his face pressing up uncomfortably against the bars, after we pulled away, the warm fuzzy feeling I got every time we kissed, was gone.

And part of me didn't think it was coming back.

"Ahem!" The guard got our attention "he should go, the trial starts soon" "oh, wait!" I saw him squeeze a bag through the gaps in the bars and into my cell "it's just so you can look smart, bye" lust ran away, presumably to get ready, I emptied the back, there was a navy blue suit and black trousers, along with a white shirt, to match my normal outfit, I chuckled after I saw a dark red tie, covered with tiny adorable axes.

"Heh...I'm gonna miss this"

Third person POV
The judge was ready, the jury were waiting, the crowd was full, various conversations overlapped with one another as chatter filled the room. Mettaton, lust and error were all waiting for it to start, all they needed was horror.

"So, do you want us to do or say anything?" Lust whispered to mettaton, who was sitting at the table with all his documents, "darlings I have a plan, the trick is always have a good poker face. And don't worry, we've practiced this several times, I'm confident that you two can do this" Lust nodded and sat back down next to error.

"ArE yOu OkAy?" Lust shook his head, his breathing as shaky and his heartbeat increased "no, I feel like I'm gonna pass out" error started rubbing his shoulder "DoN't WoRrY, We'Re GoNnA bE fInE" error gently held lusts hand for reassurance.

Horror walked into the room and looked at lust from across the room, waving at him with a smile, while the rest of the crowd, apart from error, either stared in disgust or whispered to each other, after horror sat down, the trial had begun.

There was no turning back.

"Order! Order! We are gathered here in this courtroom to decide the fate of the defendant know as, Horror Axe. Speaking in horrors defence is international television star and professional lawyer, Mettaton." Mettaton stood up and struck a pose, before gracefully sitting back down, some of the audience applauded his introduction, "thank you for having me your honour and I must say, you look absolutely gorgeous~"

Error gently nudged lust with his elbow to get his attention "ToLd Ya He'D fLiRt WiTh ThE jUdGe" error whispered under his breath, causing lust to quietly giggle. "Why thank you mettaton, but flattery won't work" mettaton cursed under his breath.
