Nightmare POV:

I was still adjusting to life with Horror. Having a kid around proved be more of a challenge than I originally thought. Right now I was reading to him. The prince decided to listen in too. He apparently liked listening to me read kids books. Horror was nibbling on a mango, slowly falling asleep as I read to him. He was leaning against my chest, my arm draped over him. I liked these moments. These were the moments that made me...feel normal for once. A small smile formed at the corners of my mouth. Horror eventually fell fully asleep. I picked him up with one of my tentacles and brought him to his room. I had to watch my step, his room was a messy. 'I'll have him clean it up after his nap.' Horror liked his naps. He got grumpy if he ran out of energy during the day.

"Oi! N1ghtmar3!" A voice rang through my castle. I recognized Error's voice.

'Why's he here now?' I thought. I walked the way to him. He was in the living room.

"Need something Error?" I asked. He doesn't usually come unless he needs something, or he's lonely.

"I just lost to certain...protecter." He said the word protector with venom in his glitching voice. "I'm going to stay here to rest up." It wasn't a request. I didn't mind though, Error was my friend.

"Okay. Just be quiet. Horror's sleeping." I said

"Who's Horror?" Error asked, curiosity in his voice.

"Oh. Right." I remembered no one knew I had Horror. I explained the whole ordeal to my friend. "He also gets super grumpy if anyone wakes him up from a nap." I finished.

"Wow." Error commented "I didn't expect you to be the motherly type." He mocked

"At least I didn't get my butt kicked by a clumsy, forgetful, and stupid squid." I replied.

Error just grumbled and sat on the couch. I walked off and went to do more work.

I was working and drinking coffee as I normally did. I suddenly got another, very small, source of negativity, then it was gone. 'Huh. They don't usually come and go that fast.' I thought. I wanted to check it out. I stood up. 'Oh wait! Horror.' I needed to tell him here I was going. Or Error could watch him? He was only...actually I don't know how old he is. I need to ask him later. I got up and walked down to the couch where Error was watching shows on his phone.

"Error?" I asked. He turned to me, annoyed. "Could you watch Horror for me?" Error gave me a look of 'What the hell did you just ask me?'

"What? No! I am not going near that thing you brought here!" Error said to me.

"I won't be gone long. You don't have to touch him. Just make sure he doesn't die." I saw Error smirk. "And no shenanigans." He glared again.

"Fine. I am not helping him if gets hurt though." Error said.

"Okay." I said. At least he'd watch him if he woke up while I was gone.

I tried to remember which au was the one with that weird negativity source. Oh right,
Killertale

I arrived outside the Snowdin, just like last time. I couldn't feel any presence of anyone but on person. And that one person wasn't having any negative or positive emotions. I couldn't tell where they were because their emotions, or lack of emotions, resulted in a weird signal. I walked through the abandoned Snowdin. It was always weird seeing abandoned places.
