CHAPTER #7

"Hey, Error! You're back! Do you have him?" Killer asked, in a much better mood than when Error left. If only he could say the same, Error's been needing to deal with Ink pushing, nagging, guilt-tripping (which didn't work in the slightest) and annoying rambles as if they were friends.

"Y3s... I h4ve h1m..." Error grumbled, clenching his fist, causing Ink's strings to tighten.

"OW—! Careful!" Ink yelled.

Error pushed Ink onto the ground against the kitchen wall and glared down at him, then looked back to his friends as a bag of flour plummeted directly into Cross's face.

"HAH!" Killer and Horror laughed in unison.

"Sorry!" Nightmare yelled, while throwing eggs at Dream. It was starting to look like one of those cooking show comedies.

"Well? Go at him," Dust said while Horror turned back around to face Error.

"Yer' his number one enemy! Get 'em!"

Error took a deep breath before practically psychologically torturing Ink, well... that's a bit far. Lets just say that he was so scary that it even creeped Horror out, and he's eaten people. But, Ink wasn't fazed one bit! He was even smiling! Maybe that was because of the mess happening behind them but that's not the point.

When Error was too tired to keep up a creepy smile and ruthless attitude he finally stopped. He walked next to the rest of the gang in defeat and sighed, letting his glitches and error signs relax and begin to come up more regularly. While he was bullying Ink he tried to make glitches come up more violently and random to look scary, by the looks of everyone else

"That was creepy as hell! How'd ya' do that?" Horror asked, surprised.

"Haha... How did that not work..?" Killer laughed nervously.

"He bit into almost every insecurity there is...and yet, nothing," Dust mumbled, lightly holding onto his scarf.

"Almost like he's soulless..." Cross added.

"B3caus3 he is," Error stated in an irritated tone. The room went silent. Even the crashing from Nightmare and Dream's fight had stopped. In fact, the two stopped fighting all together, just standing in shock.

"Ugh..." Error groaned, "1 was h0ping mayb3 his v1als w0uld g1ve out... s0m3thing-th1ng..."

"What?" Nightmare asked sternly and walked up to Ink, "Is that why I can't feel anything from you?"

"I shouldn't be surprised..." Cross sneered, taking out his knife.

"A soulless god?! No wonder he makes such awful AUs! He doesn't even care about them!" Killer snarled, making the paintbrush on his back rattle.

"An' I thought we were supposed ta' be the 'Bad Guys','' Horror said.

They all stood in silence for what felt like an eternity until Error noticed something. Dream hadn't reacted to this information. He didn't even look surprised. In fact... he looked more worried.

"Dr3am," Error started, "You 4lready kn3w, didn't y0u?"

"What?"

"You. Alre4dy. Kn3w." Error restated.

"Y-Yes... But I-"

"Why would you work with someone who doesn't really care about you or the team?" Nightmare butted in.

"Well... He's...He's......Reliable," Dream sighed.

"Yeah, and that sounded convincing," Nightmare said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
