🌟Chapter 11 : Food Is Love🌙

Horror sighed as he finished washing the dishes. He looked up at the ceiling for a few seconds before he turned to the tray of food on the counter. That's for Dust. He hasn't come downstairs to have breakfast, he missed breakfast. Horror wondered if Dust missed breakfast on purpose or is he still asleep? It's either that. Horror walked to the tray of food, it's almost cold. He took the tray and then walked out of the kitchen, walking through the hallways in silence. Soon, he reached the stairs and went upstairs to the second floor. Most bedrooms are in the second floor.

He walked through the hall and soon reached Dust's bedroom. He stood in front of the door for a few minutes, then he took a step forward, knocking the door. Silence, Dust is not answering. Horror knocked again on the door and when that, too, went unaswered, he opened the door. He found Dust sitting on the chair, but he's burrying his face in his arms on the desk. Horror stood there for a few seconds before walking inside and went to the desk. Horror put the tray on the desk as he caressed Dust's back in an attempt to wake him up. Dust jolted slightly. He moved his head to turn and look at Horror with only one open socket. Maybe he does fell asleep like that.

"..missed... breakfast.." Horror told him. Horror always talks so slow and rarely say something longer than five words. Dust sit on the chair properly, stretching his arms. Dust looked at the tray with a bowl of soup. Dust stood up from the chair and walked to the bed and then landed on the soft bed, sighing heavily.

"'M not hungry.." Though muffled, Horror could still hear him and he's not very happy with what the smaller skeleton said.

"You... should eat.." Horror said, being patient with Dust. Dust rolled on the bed and gets himself under the blanket, covering his whole body entirely with the blanket. "No." Dust said. Horror walked to the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, "Eat... please..."

Dust didn't respond to that. Horror stared at him for a few seconds, before he leaned in, taking off the blanket and then wrapping his hand around Dust's waist and picked him up to his lap. Dust is now seated on Horror's lap. Dust leaned on Horror's chest as Horror wrapped his arms around Dust's smaller frame.

"What's... wrong?" Horror asked. Dust didn't reply for a few while, then he sighed again. Horror moved a bit near the desk as he pulled the tray of food closer. "The usual.." Dust responds. Horror took the spoon and take a spoonful of the food, "..i see.." he brought the spoonful to Dust's mouth, "...don' pay... them any... attention..."

Dust moved his hand to Horror's and pushed away the spoonful gently, groaning. "I don't want to eat, Horror..." Horror sighed heavily.

"...please..." Horror begged. Dust fell quiet for a few while.

"...Food will... distract you from... their whispers..." Horror brought the spoonful back to Dust's mouth, "you'll... feel better... promise..."

After a few moments of silence, Dust sighed and looked up at Horror, his eyes met with Horror's. He looked at the spoonful and then parted his teeth as Horror brought in his mouth as Dust ate it. Dust munched the food in his mouth slowly, hearing Horror purrs softly. Dust closed his sockets, every food that Horror made always tastes divine, even when it's a bit cold. Horror continued feeding Dust and soon he finishes the food. Horror put the spoon on the empty plate as he pressed his teeth on Dust's hooded skull.

Dust's pupils moved up to look at Horror for a moment, then he looked at the glass of water as he reached for it, drinking it until it's empty. Dust sighed, leaning back on Horror's chest after he put back the empty glass. Horror held him close and they stayed like that. Dust always loved it like this, Horror was always warm and being in his arms makes him feel warmer, safe and secure. Both loved each other, but the words never have been spoken out loud. Dust burried his face on Horror's chest, his sigh muffled.

"don't like it... when you don't... eat..." Horror spoked softly, holding Dust closer. Dust stayed silent, "should eat... even just a lil'..."

"I would rather eat snack than proper food." Dust stated, muffled but enough for Horror to hear. Horror nuzzles on Dust's hooded skull,

"...Snack's okay... but proper food... is healthier..."

"Do you do this to others, too?"

"...do.. what?"

"..hugging them, cuddling them, feeding them when they don't want to eat." Dust isn't sure why he asked that, but he wanted to know. Horror shakes his head slowly, resting his chin on Dust's skull.

"...only you.." Dust pets Horror's chest gently, earning a purr from Horror. Dust always love it to hear Horror purring when he pets Horror's chest, head and back. Horror also loved to be pet with Dust's small hands.

"Why me, out of all people?"

"Because..." Horror stopped, didn't say anything else, leaving Dust curious but also didn't say anything. Horror didn't know how to tell Dust that he did it because he cared about him and love him so much.

"...when you eat... i feel happy.."

"You feel happy?" Dust echoed. Horror nodded, didn't say anything else for s while.

"Food.. is love.." Dust looked up at Horror, letting out soft chuckle. Horror loved hearing that soft chuckle, like it's the best thing he ever heard.

"So, you're gonna give me some snacks soon or?" Dust asked. Horror looked at Dust and hummed softly, "since you've... eaten..." Horror stood up, still having Dust in his arms. "..i'll give you... any snacks that.. you want."

"Yay~" Dust chuckled. Dust used his magic to pick up the tray with empty plate and glass.

"If you eat... properly.." Horror pressed his teeth on Dust's forehead, "I will... be devoted.. to you..." Horror walked towards the door, "I'll do.. what you want me.. to do... to you.."

Now that made Dust blush. That made Dust out of words as he fell silent. All Dust really want Horror to do to him is to hug him, keep him safe and secure, cuddle him until he's asleep.. and kiss him. If Dust want all of that, then he should eat properly. Horror was always true to his words, when he said he will be devoted to Dust, then he will, as long as Dust eat properly. Dust doesn't know why he fell for the larger skeleton in the first place but that doesn't matter. Dust just want to stay close to Horror. Horror always knows what to make him feel better in his bad days.

They arrived at the kitchen, Dust moved the empty plate and glass in the sink. Horror put him down and that made Dust whine as he looked up at Horror, "gotta... wash the dishes..." Horror said as he walked to the sink. Dust walked to the nearest chair and sit down, waiting for Horror to finish washing the dishes.

"Hey, wanna go to the training room after this?" Horror finished, he walked to the fridge and opened it, nodding his head, "sure." Horror took out Dust's favorite snack and gave it to Dust, earning a soft thank you from the smaller. Dust opened the package and start to eat the chips. Horror and Dust walked out of the kitchen and walk down the hall. Dust shared his snack with Horror while walking and they soon finished it.

Horror took the empty package and crumbled it, then putting it inside Horror's pocket to throw it to the trash can if one passed by. Soon, they arrived at the training room as Dust opened the door only to be surprised with Killer and Cross on the ground, Killer is sitting on Cross' chest and they are pressing their foreheads together. They looked at Horror and Dust as soon as they walked in.

"Yo." Killer greeted the pair. Horror and Dust stayed silent for a couple of seconds before Dust's hand moved to his pocket and took out his phone, going to take a picture of the two. "Oh wait, wait!" Killer said so Dust waited before taking a picture of them. Killer moved to Cross' lap and pulled Cross to sit up, then he wrapped his arms around Cross' neck and glared at Cross to wrap his own arms around Killer's waist, so he shyly did. Dust laughed softly at that as he went closer to them and took a picture.

"Can't believe you guys did it in the training room instead of your own rooms." Dust commented. Killer shakes his head,

"Now, now, Dustbin. We didn't do anything like that here, okay?" Killer chuckled, "Anyways, send that picture to me."

"Kay, kay. Whatever you say, Killz." Dust chuckled.

"cute.. couple..." Horror commented. Dust nodded in agreement and chuckled softly. Maybe one day, Dust and Horror will be a cute couple like them, too. The four decided to train together.
