It's another day in nightmares castle, a loud crash and the breaking of a vase or a window or suit of armor can be heard from a mile away whilst the king himself is locked in his office trying to remember why he recruited such idiots the rest of the gang lounge around the castle. Killer somehow in nightmares office to annoy him, cross is in his room doing who knows what, while horror is in the kitchen baking anything that comes to mind, and dust away in his thoughts and talking to his brother on the couch.
Pov: Dust
It doesn't seem like things will get any more quiet than they are now. Donno where killer snuck off to after breaking whatever it was he broke. Probably to night's office, he always seems to be around him, and of course horror is cooking. It's like all he does is cook, not that I'm complaining. We do need to eat but I wish he would hang around with me more. It would just be nice to sit together or nap with each other. I could always ask the big guy but he seems to enjoy cooking and baking for us all. I know he used to in his au but I guess he feels better about it now, I wouldn't blame him either. Not after everything that happened, lucky nightmare found him when he did or who knows what would've happened to him.
"Most likely turned into dust..."
But he's not. So it's fine.
I need to stop letting papyrus into my head... It's always so much when he's around. And he knows I regret it. Every. Day. He won't leave me alone though. Never alone. Not truly...
Pov: horror
I love cooking, there are so many possibilities! So much to make, and it's all the better that there's actually food here to cook with. That's part of why I like it so much, after not having... Anything... For so long.
I glance back at the couch where dust's laying, staring at nothing. He does that a lot, I don't ask him about it too much but whenever it's brought up he acts like he doesn't know what we're talking about. By now it's a normal occurrence so we usually leave him be.
I turn the pot down to simmer and make my way over to dust, he still seems spaced out so I just lay next to him. He's usually fine with being around me, but I try not to startle him when I can. After a few minutes he notices me and smiles abit and nudges me with his leg. This is how it usually is, small smiles and nudges. And I'm fine with that, i nudge him back and we sit there in what feels like forever. Its unusually quiet but thats a good thing. I look over and dust fell asleep. Hes always cute when hes asleep. I cover us both with a blanket and lay back down next to him, might as well take a nap too.
The day wears on with dust and horror asleep, nightmare and killer staying in the office and cross away in his room. The only thing that changes is the sun outside and soon the people inside.

Its been so long since I had a nice sleep, usually my dreams are full of dust. Choices. The past... But every once-in-a-while i have a nice dream, or no dream. More like a warm feeling. And it doesn't matter how many blankets i have or how hot the room is, it only happens if i fall asleep in a open space. I don't want to wake up, not yet. But i cant sleep anymore.
I deside to lay there for a bit before i get up, its warm. Theres probably a blanket next to me, but... Something else... Theres something warm on my neck, and something pressed on my chest.
I turn my head and immediately Im met with another, a soft skull... A beautiful glowing red eye... Soft teeth (lips? Idk?)... It suddenly all comes back to me. Its him. All him. His skull. His eye. His teeth.
I try back away but before i can move too far further an arm wraps around me and im trapped. Between him and the couch i cant tell which i would rather sink into. I cant look him in the eye, so i stare at his hands. One intertwined with mine, his bones a soft yellowing color against mine, grey like the oldest star. His remind me of the old silky paper against the walls in the hallways. Yellowing with age but full of beautiful words and poems.
It feels like its been years. Horror holding my hand. Holding me. I finally look up into his eye, theres a giant goofy grin on his face, and his gentle eye is full of life, its nice to see him happy for once. I needed to apologize, mostly for waking him up, but he looked so happy. I finally desided where i wanted to fall to.
"Sorry" i mumbled before throwing myself at him, a bit to hard as he almost fell over, i was so happy at that moment. He huged me and coverd us in a blanket before kissing my head and falling back asleep. I did too, after almost exploding.
Pov: Horror
Naps are beautiful things, one second your dreaming of what you'll bake when you wake up, the next your woken up with a kiss. I looked up and there he was, just looking at me. In my eye, at my teeth, my skull, then he jerked away. He must have been surprised and nearly fell off the couch, i grabbed him before it could happen though. And there we sat, me holding him up from falling and him staring at our hands, i couldn't help but look at his face, it was red and he wouldn't look me in the eye. Must've been embarrassed about what had happened, not that i can blame him, i was probably wearing the biggest grin.
I carefully lowered him from where he was about to fall and back to the couch when he finally looked at me, he apologized before lunging to hug me. I looked down and saw him smiling against my stomach, after laying down and covering the two of us in a blanket we sat there for a while before i leaned over and kissed his head and layed back to sleep, before I fell asleep i felt him breathing on my chest, he fell asleep too.
The endddd srry it took forever looove uuu
