Nighttale (English)

"Night." Error called in his cracked voice.

"Ah, Error. Do you need something?" Night approached.

"No. Nightmare just asked me to let you know he had to leave." He said crossing his arms over his chest. "And Lust is in the living room wanting to talk to you or something, are you really friends with this guy?"

"Oh, right. Thanks for letting me know, Error." He ran waving.

Error watched him walk away, opening a portal shortly after.

Lust was sitting on the couch with Horror and Killer staring at him.

"Are you guys okay?" Night asked, making the three of them look at him.

"Ah! I'm glad you came, I thought we'd stay like this for years!" Lust got up going towards Night. "Are you really friends with these guys?" He whispered, jabbing his thumb towards the sofa.

"Yes, I am! They seem strange at first but with time you get used to it! But why did you come back?"

"I came to visit you! It's been weeks since I first came, won't you say you haven't missed me?" he said resting his chin on his hands.

"Weeks? But you were here yesterday!"

"Different AUs have different times, so in one it might have been days, in another it could have been hours." Lust explained. "Now can we go somewhere else? It's weird having two people staring at you nonstop!"

Night looked at Killer and Horror who were still looking at him frantically.

"Oh sure. I know a place where no one will stare at you!" He took Lust's hand, guiding him through the halls.

"So this is your room, I honestly thought it would be more... colorful?" Lust sat on the edge of the bed.

"It's actually from Nightmare, he only let me stay here temporarily."

"You and this Ni are really close, aren't you? Are you two like this?" he laced his fingers together.

"...together? No, we're just... friends, I guess. He's called me a friend before, but I don't know if he really considers me one."

A silence settled in the room, making them uncomfortable.

"But you never told me about yourself, what's it like in your AU?" Night cast a curious look at Lust who just stared at the ground.

"There's nothing interesting there, why do you think I left?" he turned to Night who shrugged. "It's horrible, the entire multiverse hates me because of my AU. But I'm not what they think I am!" Lust clenched his fists angrily taking a deep breath trying not to lose control.

"Sorry to remind you of that..."

"It's okay. It's not your fault, I just hate that place."

"Apparently we both don't have good AUs." Night looked at him. "You always travel from AU to AU, don't you? How are they?"

"Well, there are some that are nice, with kind people, beautiful places, but there are others that are horrible, everyone is rude to you, and it feels like you are in an apocalyptic world." he said throwing himself back, touching his beads on the soft bed.
