Someone else's shoes [ Errormare ]

Quiet [10]

"...thank you,error" Nightmare stood and slowly leaned closer to error.
"...what are you doing?"Error glitched faintly,observing the dark god inch closer to him with a yellowed face.
"Uh..."
"I was going to ask if i..could hug you?"Nightmare queried with a teal face.
Error sighed raggedly and stretched his arms around nightmare in a rare hug.
Error had actually forgotten the last time he ever actually hugged someone.
It felt nice,though error felt off put by nightmares soft behavior.
"I'm going to go sleep on the couch,my hp needs to regain."error broke the warm hug and headed for the door.
Nightmare flicked a few tentacles,he appeared to want to continue hugging the glitch but didn't object.
"If your planning to fall asleep I don't recommend the couch,red sleeps there."nightmare chimed up,with an unseen plan that was quickly devised in his head.
"A mansion,and you don't have enough rooms."Error chuckled with a stat-icky glitch to it.
"Maybe if some of us shared rooms with one another maybe there would be enough rooms!"Nightmare stepped onto the balcony,shouting down at dust and red who were sitting in a patch of echo flowers.
"SHUT UP NIGHTMARE!"Dust shouted back in protest,a flustered red huddled in his lap.
Nightmare scoffed,coming back in to greet error laying face down on the carpet.
He looked half dead,which was accurate as his health bar was just under half.
"Uh...should I just.."nightmare knew how uncomfortable the floor got after long periods of laying on it,he wouldn't want to feel those aches much less error.
The negativity god slid his inky black jacket back on and carefully picked error up,careful not to rattle him too badly.
'I'll just leave him in here,I don't need to sleep yet anyways.'nightmare decided,slinking out of the shady bedroom and outside.
From there he was greeted by killer and horror who were arguing about whatever nonsense got them worked up.
Nightmare leaned against a wall of the mansion bordly,his mind wandering.
'I wonder what error thinks of me...am I just his boss or am I..a friend?'
'I just wish he would let me be his friend and a little bit more,'nightmare looked down at the grass with glazed eyes.
...
...
...
"Boss!!"Red came scrambling around the corner breathless,burns on his shoulder and face.
"The star sanses are attacking,they're demanding to find Error!"Red huffed.
Nightmares heart skipped a beat and he instantly gave orders,error was in no condition to be fighting.
"Gather everyone up and lead them out front to the battle,everyone except Error."Nightmare said hurriedly.
The red skeleton nodded and swiftly darted off to retrieve killer and horror.
Nightmare flicked his tentacles and teleported to the front of the house,he was instantly barraged with light arrows.
"Dammit Dream,let me speak!"nightmare snapped,shielding himself.
The arrows slowed to a stop and nightmare was greeted by the three star sanses.
"Your buddy Error destroyed the Dune tale Au,what more needs to be said?!"Dream was still armed with his arrows and he leaned offensively closer to the negativity god.
"That was me that destroyed Dune tale,there was an imbalance in the timelines so something had to be terminated."Nightmare gave ink and dream daring glares.
"You guys are making excuses,we heard the same exact thing from the glitch!"ink said finally,in a flash he pulled his paintbrush from his back and slashed gold paint across nightmares chest.
The dark skeleton stumbled backwards with a hiss of pain,the paint burned right through his jacket and ate at the newly healed fracture.
"That's it."Nightmare gave the three of them cold glares as Cross and Dust charged from behind him.
Dust jumped Blue and Red appeared to assist the hooded murderer,while Killer and Horror tackled Dream to the ground. "Until you TRY and see Errors opinions from his point of view,your not getting 5 miles close to him!"Nightmare shouted,he summoned quite a few jet black blasters and shot them,mostly focused on Ink.

-15 minutes later-

"Agh!"Nightmare held his hand on his shoulder as teal blood dripped from many burns.

Killer,Horror and Red were fainted in the ground bloody and bruised...Cross,Dust and Nightmare were the only ones standing and Dusts attacks were only getting slower and weaker as they went on. "Surrender Error and we'll let you leave with your souls intact."Ink said finally,the endless attacks paused momentarily. Nightmare smirked as teal blood trickled from the corner of his mouth,Dream was looking rough and Blue was almost fainted. "You'll have to dust me. first." Nightmare hissed with a glint in his eye. Ink sighed,nodding to Dream and sending a hand signal to Blue. Blue limped off into the distance while Dream suddenly began attacking Dust and Cross. Nightmare braced himself as Ink hurtled into him,though the impact wasn't as strong as Nightmare originally assumed and he threw the artist backwards.

Nightmare could hear bones cracking against the hard earth and ink grimaced in pain. "Dream,what the hell are you waiting for?!" Ink snapped,jumping to his feet awkwardly and holding his brush out defensively as nightmare attempted to attack him.

There was a moment of tension before a familiar voice shouted in the distance. Nightmare realized Dream had fled and his soul almost paused in his chest. 'Dream is looking for Error...they're going to dust him-' Nightmare snapped his head around to the voice,realizing it was Errors. The whole battle turned their attention to the balcony to see Error holding Dream by the throat over the edge. "I can play on the same level as you Ink...leave before i drop your little friend."Error tilted his head to give ink a cold glare as he slowly removed a finger from Dreams throat. Ink stammered,fear finally inching across the artists face. "We'll leave! Just...don't drop him!"

Error set Dream down though held onto his shirt firmly. "How about we make a deal instead...a bargain."Error tied a thick blue twine around Dreams wrists and knotted him the the balcony banister.

"What are you getting at glitch?"Ink and Dream locked eyes for a moment,sharing some expression that could mean multiple things. "Just you and i go to the anti-void for a chat,we need to discuss some things,my guys will hold Dream here so you don't pull any funny business. Ink crossed his arms in a thoughtful manner.

"If your holding Dream captive then ill hold..Nightmare hostage so you wont be tempted to do anything to him. That way it will be even." Ink demanded,flicking a small brush with grey paint at the kneeling god and chains wrapped around his chest. Error gave Nightmare a small nod,one that established an unsaid promise. Error would make sure nothing happened to Nightmare.
