Chapter 5: Processing

What now? The information that he didn't even want was just... given to him and now Nightmare would probably kill him just for him knowing that information. He couldn't even process it all fast enough. He'd been in his room since Ink sent him back. Error did come check on him but figured it was something it was best he didn't know. He was kind of hungry but he did not think he was mentally able to deal with two kids and had to pretend to be alright. What would he do now? He had a whole day left and he had to "help" Error and he couldn't even step out of the guest room.

"Mr. Killer. Error asked me to ask you if you wanna watch a movie with us?" He heard from his door. One of the little ones, most definitely. I mean, he needed Error to give Nightmare good feedback and if he just stays locked in a room the whole time then he's most certainly getting a bad report. Guess he could suffer through a movie. Just.. sit their and focus on the screen..right? "Sure, I'll be down their in a moment." He yelled at the person through the door. "Hell yea!" He heard someone yell from another room. Probably Pj. "Language!" And Error. Yup. So that means Gradient was at the door.

After a few minutes, he had pulled himself together enough and had changed into some pajamas that Nightmare had teleported over for him. It was already about night time so nothing weird. Everyone else would probably be in something comfy as well. He also decided to keep his jacket on though. It was like a comfort thing.

He slowly walked over to the door and turned the knob, walking down the hallway, to the living room. "Oh welcome back Killer. I haven't seen you in forever." Error joked, looking at him while setting some popcorn down on the table. "There's some pizza in the fridge if you want it. I know you havent really eaten today so maybe jumping to popcorn wouldn't be the best of decisions." Error explained, gesturing to the fridge. Killed shrugged. Yes, he was hungry, but he didn't feel like heating it up or eating for that matter.

"So... what did Ink tell ya? Don't go into detail or anything but just a little hint or something." He muttered silently. "It uh... was about Boss. Back before he was, you know, Boss. I just can't process it right now." Killer explained, sitting down on the couch and pulling his hood up. Error frowned and sat down next to him. It was silent for a moment, neither really knowing what to say, but finally Error spoke up. "If you're worried about me leaving a bad report with Nightmare, it's not gonna happen. I care about you too much dude. Plus, you're helping enough by just being here. I don't know WHAT exactly happened with you and Ink, but it's clearly taken a toll on you. If you need to rest until tomorrow, I completely understand."

Killer had to admit, it was... comforting to have him tell him that, but it didn't change the fact that being left alone in his own mind was probably not something that would be the best for him right now. "Thank you, but I'll be alright. I just might not be myself for a while, I guess." Killer mumbled. Error nodded and stood up. If you need me, don't be afraid to come talk to me, even if you need to drag me away from them for a minute. They'll be completely fine on their own."He said one last time before setting everything else up.

Time skip brought to you by Killer being

confused and depressed

Thay had finally all settled down for the movie. Error was in his own little seat while Pj and Gradient sat beside Killer, Gradient being closer because he had a calmer presence. They had all come to the conclusion of the movie, "Big Hero 6." Killer proper his arm on the arm of the chair and resting his head on his hand, getting comfortable. Everything was going alright. That was, until Gradient subconsciously leaned his head on Killer's arm/shoulder. Then something happened.

The two dreamtale brothers had finally settled down and started watching a movie. It was around halloween time and they had decorated the house and all and finally decided to settle down and watch a movie. They decided on Nightmares' all time favorite, Beetlejuice. "Nighty, can't we watch Nightmare before Christmas or something? We always watch this one." Dream pouted, crossing his arms. "Nope, sorry brother. We had an agreement, whoever made dinner got to pick the movie. And remind me again who fixed you chicken nuggies?" Nightmare teased, chuckling. Dream playfully elbowed his brother.

"You offered. But fine. Next time I'm putting on something really scary though." Dream said. Nightmare shook his head. "You get scared of everything. You could handle-" He was stopped by his brother yelling, "Can to!" Nightmare sighed, "Whatever loser." And got comfortable watching the movie. After a few minutes, he felt a weight on his shoulder. Looking over, he could see that Dream had already fallen asleep and fell limp onto him. "Of course he'd be the first to fall asleep." Nightmare chuckled, turning the movie down some.

Killer slightly smiled as he excited the supposed "memory" ended. He focused back on the screen and rested his head on Gradient's. They never had movie nights at Nightmare's. Sure, they all got together sometimes and every once in a while they'd have a game night but that never ended well. This was a nice breath of fresh air for him. No wonder Error liked it so much here. If he could, he would love to live here. He almost forgot everything that happened that day. If only it could stay that way.
