"I...smelled blood..." Horror said and Nightmares eyes flicked to Dust who was twitching. "From him?" Nightmare questioned. Horror hesitantly nodded unaware of how Dust would react to him snitching. Dust surprisingly just stood there for now. Nightmare just sighed then asked Horror and Dust to go to the medical room so he could heal Dust or at lest find out what the problem is. Dust always hides his injuries which usually only makes them worse later on because no one notices that he is hurt in the first place. Dust just huffs "I wanna go on a mission" he says not even caring that his arms hurt a lot. Nightmare sighed and replied "You can after your checked out and healed" Dust growled and demanded that he gets a mission. Again Nightmare said no to Dusts request. Dust was getting annoyed and jittery now. He would probably lash out soon and Horror knew it. Horror didnt know how to deescalate the situation so he just stepped back incase a fight did break out between the other two. Nightmare growled and ended up just picking Dust up with a tendril. Dust growled himself and tried to get loose but the more he struggled the tighter Nightmares hold would become. Nightmare took Dust to the medical room and Horror followed after just wanting to be helpful to Nightmare and make sure his friend was ok and not badly hurt. He knew how Dust could be when his brother kept nagging at him. Its like Dust just either wanted to punish himself or he hurt himself so he doesn't lash out at his comrades. Horror tried to understand Dust to the best as he could but honestly it was very hard to read Dust. Dust was a cold skeleton and rarely opened up to anyone. Horror watched as Nightmare held down Dust and rolled up Dusts sleeves reveling the bandages that are blood soaked on the others arms. Horror knew all to well what it was without even seeing it fully. Dust had massacred his arms....again. This wasn't the first time that Dust has done this. Horror hated that he couldn't help Dust with his problems. He wished Dust would trust him more. Dust was struggling so much that Nightmare needed to hold the other down or knock the other out. Nightmare took the higher and knocked Dust out. Horror flinched at the sight them simply left to his room not wanting to see any more of what had happened. Horror curled up in the corner of his room. An hour past before a small knock sounded at Horror's door. Horror looked up and then shifted up. He opened the door expecting Nightmare or Killer. However, It was actually Dust. He looked better, not as tired or upset. Dust simply walked in and hugged Horror and apologized. This behavior is strange and unusual for someone like Dust. Horror softly cradled his arms around the being that was practically clinging to him for dear life. Did Nightmare do somthing to Dust to make him this way? Horror though but quickly pushed it away while he tried to comfort his friend. Dust hid hid face into Horrors solid comforting chest. Dust apologized to Horror a lot. Dust felt awful. How could Dust just put his best friends though that. Nightmare had told Dust how much Horror cared for Dust and how much it hurt Horror to see Dust do that to himself. Horror told the other in his arms that it was ok and that he understood. Dust started crying a bit. Crying for Dust was rare. Horror pulled away a bit and wiped the others tears. "hey...Dust calm down its ok I got you your ok now. everything is ok." Horror said this in hopes that the other still in his grip would calm down. Dust calmed down after a little bit and just stayed with Horror. Horror just comforted his friend the best he could.
Weeks past and Nightmare had noticed that Horror and Dust have been a lot closer to each other and that Horror was helping Dust feel better mentally. Nightmare was fine with this since Dust was doing better now in his missions and not getting hurt as often. Dust and Horror where in Dust's room just sitting and talking and playing Minecraft as they usually did after missions. Nightmare was working on dinner downstairs. Horror was sitting close to Dust practically in the others lap. Dust didnt mind as he loved the feeling of Horror being close to him. Dust had finally realized that he had feelings for Horror. He was thinking of ways to confess to the other but he was clearly overthinking it. Horror was noticing that Dust was being more spaced out then normal and asked Dust what was wrong. Dust simply said nothing was wrong and went on. He eventually tried to talk himself in to just saying it or kissing Horror. It almost worked, then Dust chickened out. Horror was noticing that something was clearly up but he couldn't tell. He grabbed dust by their shoulders and turn them to face him. Horror stared at the other trying to figure out what was up with Dust. Dust blushed a bit looking at the other surprised by Horror acting that way. Horror saw the other blushing and smirked. Horror then pulled the other into a kiss but ofc made sure the other could still pull away. Dust squeaked not expecting that. However, Dust kissed back being a purple tomato. Horror pulled away after a bit and smiled "you have no idea how long I've wanted to do that.
