Error on short two

Again have no Idea for a title

A small skeleton sat in the corner of his room. he was crying and curled up tightly as he had just been left there after a beating. He didn't remember anything ffom before he came to this room. He didn't remember a before only after. He was terrified once he heard the door believing that they were back to hurt him. He curled up tighter but instead was very gently taken into familiar arms.

"Who did this?" They asked. The person holding him had taken care of him from the day he came to this room. They had helped him through horrible nightmares and his own mental instability.

"I-I don-" the small skeleton started bawling again it all hurt so much. The small skeleton was moved so he sat on the other monsters lap. He felt himself being hugged tightly but gently by the other skeleton. He slowly calmed down as he laid against his friend. The goop was surprisingly warm and soft. He had managed to calm down but he still had soft tears every so often.

"I'm going to check your memory it will feel like it's happening again but I promise you. You will be right here in my arms," The goopy monster said. The smaller only nodded as the memory were brought out. He didn't feel it but it still made him scared. He felt the grip around him tighten a bit and the other person's fists grab a hold of him. He yelled scared and curled back up. The tall skeleton who held him relaxed.

"I'm sorry for scaring you dear I just got angry," the taller said. The small skeleton only nodded and sniffled once. He was picked up and placed on his beanbag and the taller found bandages so he could treat the wounds. The taller one kissed the top of the smallers skull once he was done and then wrapped him in a fluffy blanket. The taller forced the smaller into a deep sleep before leaving and locking the door. Something he rarely did. He walked to the throne room. He called everyone in there and his gang walked in. He instantly wrapped his tentacles around killer and dust. Crushing their bones.

"That small skeleton you harmed was MY mate," Nightmare said as he slammed them against the stone floor repeatedly. He threw them against the wall. The others looked at him horrified as they hadn't expected for Nightmare to have a mate. Error had died and nightmare had been in a deep state of depression after he lost his first mate.

"Bullshit!" Dust yelled in his hurt state. Nightmare turned to him with a piercing glare.

"You couldn't move o-" Dust was cut off by a tentacle piercing his skull.

"Error didn't die after he lost his ability to destroy. He Lost his memories and changed to his real form. He is alive and still my mate. Next time anyone hurt him will I not hesitate to kill you," Nightmare said. He left his gang to take care of the dying skeletons. He walked to his mate and saw him still asleep but with a nightmare. Nightmare took out the smaller's soul and changed the nightmare to a memory of nightmare reading to the smaller. The soul was error's soul but without the chains and strings. It was damaged and broken but it was strong enough to hold itself together. Nightmare gently kissed the soul right on their mating mark. The smaller was brought up to his much bigger and taller mate. Nightmare had planned on waiting to tell the gang but now they knew. Nightmare held the still sleeping skeleton and carried him to the throne room. The small skeleton clutched the taller's jacket in his small fist. The gang looked at the small and hurt skeleton in nightmare's arms. They looked nothing like error had. Nightmare then pulled both of their souls out. There it was one both of their souls. the mate mark was on both of their souls. Nightmare's soul only had one mark indicating that the small skeleton was the only mate nightmare had. This was all the proof they needed.

"If anyone ever hurts him again will you wish i did to you what I did to dust and killer. If any of you ever hurt him will I not hesitate to kill you," Nightmare said as he pulled the souls away. His small mate was sleeping peacefully in his arms as he cradled them. The size difference was the same as the difference between an adult and a child. Cross walked up to them.

"Why is he so small?" Cross asked. nightmare sighed and held the smaller.

"Eons of malnourishment takes a toll on a body. I'm trying to get him to eat but it isn't as easy as it may seem. what is worse is that dream took away all of his positive emotions before he turned into this. My mate can't feel happiness nor get andy joy from eating," Nightmare explained as the smaller shifted. Nightmare took them back to the smaller's room. They would need to rest but he didn't let go of nightmare's jacket. Nightmare sighed as he laid against the beanbag and unzipped his jacket. He sipped it around his mate putting them both in it and making both of them feel a surprising amount of familiarity. Nightmare often did this with error back then. The comfort made nightmare fall asleep. Both woke around the next morning to the smell of breakfast. Nightmare freed his mate and carefully laid him back on the beanbag. Nightmare went to grab breakfast for him and his mate only to find two trays with breakfast. Nightmare grabbed both trays and sat them on the floor. He gently woke his mate who Nightmare hadn't realized were already awake. Both ate but Nightmare had to leave soon. They had to spread negativity. The tall skeleton knew that the smaller would be fine. The smaller was used to be alone for hours at a time. Plus he had a Nintendo switch with none violent games. Time passes and the smaller was alone. He never left his room not because he weren't allowed. He simply feared what was on the other side of the door. The small skeleton were playing when he heard yelling. Normally that wouldn't bother him but the voices were different they brought him memories he didn't realize he had and he didn't believe it was his own. He heard doors being opened and hid under his bed hoping that whatever was going on would pass by him. He weren't that lucky. His door was opened and he saw someone who looked like his protector. They looked eerily similar. They closed the door and looked around. The stranger bent down and looked straight at the small skeleton. The stranger sat down.

"Hi My name is dream. Are you hurt?" Dream asked. He seemed friendly but so had the skeleton that beat him the day before. The smaller staid in there.

"There is no need to be scared," Dream said as a sudden warmth washed over the smaller but he still refused the other as his aura brought horrible memories. It was warm but it felt horrible. It made him feel empty. It seemed like dream noticed and he slowly grabbed the other. The smaller freaked out and did his best to free himself from the skeleton but dream was stronger and forced the small skeleton to sleep. He tried to give the smaller a dream but he couldn't. Nightmare could feel his mate being in danger and left his gang mid battle. He went home and found a groupe of people in the council. He used his tentacle and held them all in a choking grip. He only let them survive as he saw dream leave the room which belonged to Nightmare's mate. What dream held was what infuriated Nightmare the most was how Dream held his precious mate.

"NIGHTMARE LET THEM GO!" Dream yelled. Nightmare only grew more furious as he saw his mate flich at the loud noise.

"Dream, Put him down and I won't kill you and the people in my tentacles," Nightmare said. Dream looked at nightmare then the small skeleton in his arms.

"Why can't he feel positivity? Why would you rob him of that?" Dream asked. Both could feel how stressed the smaller got.

"You did that to him. You took away his ability to feel," Nightmare said but Dream clearly didn't belive him.

"I only removed the positivity of one person," Nightmare felt the regret radiate off of Dream.

"Dream, put him down and I'll show you, " Nightmare said. Dream hesitated but did as told and Nightmare attacked. The council members were dropped into portals under them and dream was held tightly in nightmare's tentacle. Nightmare gently picked up his mate and held him in a very caring way. Nightmare held dreams neck but placed him by the small skeleton still being held.

"Heal him and give him back his emotions and I will tell you who he is," nightmare said. Dream knew better than to resist and did as told. He healed the smaller.

"Who did this?" Dream asked. Nightmare sighed but didn't answer. Dream finished and went to place a hand on the smaller's soul. He found a emotion block that he had made. It confused him but now it was gone. Dream was let go as nightmare hugged the smaller closer. Nightmare pulled out his soul showing the mate mark it held and did the same to his mate. Dream's eyes widened. His brother had a mate. Someone he could love and love back. Someone that would care for him and be cared for.

"I'm sorry brother," dream said. Nightmare opened a portal underneath dream and heard his gang enter and they were growling the entire way. Nigthmare walked back to see their bloody asses.

"Don't give me shit for leaving you. I just kicked dream out of here together with the idiots he brought,"
