Murderer Of The Forest

10

"He seriously asked you out?"
Error asked.

"Mhm, we weren't that drunk, so I think it was a legit confession." Nightmare said not at all listening to the teachers daily lecture.

"Killer did talk about you a lot before we fully got to know you." Error whispered while writing notes down.

"Did he now?"

"Yea, that first night we met, after he walked you home, it was just non stop banter about you."

Nightmare was quiet. Careful to not get caught talking in class.

Taking a quick look out the window, Nightmare watched Killer across the hall in the other classroom sit at his desk with boredom evident by his posture, sit there and watched the teacher go on and on about whatever.

"It's like he's obsessed with you."
Error whispered after the teacher turned around.

"Is that a good or bad thing?"

"I don't know, both?"

Nightmare looked away from the window. The teacher was trying to make everything fun by doing a really weird dance.

Error and Nightmare sighed in sync as the bell indicating class was over rung.

"Ready to see your boyfriend?" Error teased standing up and stretching.

"Not my boyfriend yet. We need to go on our 'school' date first." Nightmare said throwing his bags strap over his shoulder and walked out of classroom with Error close behind.

"Well, Yea, sure." Error said doing his best to avoid any contact with the student who passed by them.

The two walked across the hall and waited for Killer to exit his classroom.

"What do we call him than?" Error asked rocking on his heels.
"Future husband?"

Error never got an answer.

Killer walked out of his classroom and grinned widely at the sight of Nightmare. Killer wrapped an arm around Nightmare and just continued walking asking random questions.

Error just stood there not bothering to follow the two. It was Thursday, the dance was tomorrow, Friday.
Who knew what would happen when it came to those two.

"Ew, future couple are so weird." Error said turning around but shrieked wildly as he came face to face with Ink.
"Ink I swear! Learn how to give people space, my goodness!"

Ink shrugged and took a step back.
"You're going to the Halloween thingy, right? Actually never mind we're apart of the student council, we have to go.. Whoops, hah, silly me of course you're going." Ink said, his eyes changing every few seconds.

"You traumatize me.. and I don't think I want to go to that stupid party again this year.."

Ink stared blankly at Error for a moment before regain his usual smiling, cocky, and forgetful self.

"I can assure you, we've got the police involved this time. I think. Can't remember. There shouldn't be any deaths this year, Ruru."

Error subconsciously hugged himself.
"You can't just say stuff like that. Last year twenty student had their arms and legs cut off and were dragged to the schools field. Their arms were moved together to spell the words 'happy Halloween.' And some kids were spilt in half and restitched horribly back together than they were tied with ribbons to each classrooms door like decoration! And let's not forget the murderer ripped out random freshmen's bones and make more decorations with them!"

That was last year, the years before were much more.. graphic.

"If this whole idea scares you-."

"It does not scare me!"

"Ah- if this whole idea worry's you, than you can just hang around me the whole time. I won't let anyone touch you." Ink said holding up his thumb determined to help Error feel better.

"Oh wow. I feel so better." Error said glaring at Ink. Sarcasm laced his voice.

"You're welcome."

"You're an idiot, Ink."

Error scoffed and turned. It didn't matter if Error went to class early, he could wait til it started he really did not care at all.

"Eh, wait!" Ink shouted following Error through the halls. "Your staying after school for the council meeting?" Ink said glancing at his scarf.

"It's not like I have a choice.. I never do you stupid bitch." Error said coughing slightly. The weathers change was starting to get to him.

"Oh yea! Sorry Ru, I forgot." Ink said finally being able to walk next to Error at the same speed.

As the two walked in pure silence Ink stared at Error without a word.

"..Stop. Now. Don't you have something better to do. Why don't you go draw some cringed cartoons."

"There not cartoons, Ruru."

"Stop calling me that."

"How bout no."

".."

"..Are you going to the council meeting today?"

"..kill me."

"No?"

".."

"Are you going to the Halloween party?"

"I think you just made me want to disappear for the third time today."

"Pff- I like you. You're funny."

"Aha, wow, I feel so loved.. Shoot me."
