Big Bad Wolf (Horrorberry Sequel)

Fiercely Sensitive

I jumped the steps and ran through the town and towards the woods. It was the the only place he could possibly feel safe in. With plenty of places to hide and be himself without being judged. I was ignored by the townsfolk seeing this as me up to my usual antics, but no. I'm a Skeleton on a mission. "HORROR!" I yelled out. This was familiar now.. almost nestolgic in some strange sense. The woods, the sense of urgency, the desperate need to not be alone. I want my mate. I want to help him through this. It hurts to know he's suffering somewhere out here. And it pisses me off that Papyrus was the cause of it. I'd raised that boy better than that. But then yet... I sighed heavily. "I let him get away with a lot as well... I guess I failed him in that respect. I turned him into a spoiled brat.." I kicked at the snow before focusing at the task at hand. I could sulk later, when Horror was safe and ok again! "HORROR, PLEASE COME OUT!!! HORROR!" I yelled out again, my worry no doubt reflected in my sockets.

Horror POV

I heard Blue's voice echo around the cavern, making me freeze up. What was he doing out here, could the cold have negative consequences for him? For Colgar? I had to get them somewhere warmer than here. Between my instincts and my insecurities, my instincts would always win, stars, at the moment I couldn't even remember why I was out here. Something about Papyrus being an asshole? It didn't matter at the moment as I quickly picked up my sweet Blueberry's scent and followed it to my ever worried mate. There were other emotions, shoved down. A sense of disappointment in aimed towards himself and possibly even self pity? I flinched and shifted, draping my hoodie over Blue and pulling up the hood. "There you are.." He murmured. "This is a lot different than last time." I cocked my head to the side. "last time..?" I asked in confusion as I led him along. "The last time I went looking for you." He reiterated. "I ran into wolf Undyne and you saved me. I think that is when I truly started to fall for you.." Blue blushed bashfully. I found myself picking him up and kissing him. "you're too cute, like a bunny." He blushed even more, making me chuckle.

Blue POV

I visibly relaxed in his arms. I always felt so safe and comfortable with him around. Still, I had to apologize for Papyrus behavior. "I'm sorry about him, Horror.." My wolf huffed and moved my head so I could look him in the eyes. "don't blame yourself for his actions. i just overreacted. it'll be fine."
"What did he even say.. to trigger that sort of reaction?" I asked quietly. He paused. "he thought i hurt you, said i was gonna get you killed... i thought of him and.." I hugged Horror close. "I understand... I'm sorry.."
"don't apologize." He said again. "I'm sorry." He narrowed his sockets. I closed my mouth, muffling a giggle. "We should get our own place maybe with some distance I can convince them you aren't evil incarnate." He chuckled. "that may be for the best, though i don't know if you'll ever be able to convince them that i'm not a threat." I gave a wavering smile. "I wanna try one more time at least.." I admitted. "i don't blame you, they are family." I looked down. "Maybe.."
