A Destructive Family-Sequel to Errormare Story

Chapter 23: Cuddles and Paint

Error's POV hours later

"So h0w mUcH DiD yOu gIvE hIm?"I ask

"The lightest beer I could find to test it. I wasn't going to test his tolerance with heavy wines or vodka! It only yook four cups, not even a full bottle for him to get like that! I told him to stop at two but he insisted, wanting to try more! Then Cross walked by mentioning you and he went to your room!"Buffer responds

"ArE yOu SuRe? YoUr v1siOn d0eS tAkE tImE t0 l0aD."I say

"Yep! I took the bottles some others I know always go for and say are the easiest! I've never tried it but I trust the word of those with experience!"He says

He hands me the bottle and I check the facts listed on the side. Sure enough, it matches his knowledge and is the lightest product of alcohol possible. Yet it only took three cups for Nighty to get intoxicated...Well, that actually makes sense that after centuries of never having anything close to this that his tolerance would be very low.

Nighty crosses his arms, being the one that sat through the explanation from both of us.

"I am not clingy!"He says

"Okay, but you are a lightweight without a doubt."Buffer says

I smile as he pouts even more.

"WhErE diD cRosS eVeN g0?"I ask

"He is taking care of Dream."Buffer says

"I'lL g0 h3lP. He sTiLl n3eDs t0 b3 frEeD."I say, going down the hall.

I glance inside Dream's room to find him laying in bed with his body limp since Cross didn't tie the string to anything. Cross is nervously pacing and mumbling.

"Error! What's going on? Dream hasn't moved or said a word and I don't know what to do!"He says

"ToUcH tHe sTrInG aNd i wiLl r3m0vE iT."I say

He nods, lifting the string as I see Dream spring to life quickly, blinking and glancing around. I carefully snap the string off of his skull, freeing him from its limited control.

"What...happened? Error, are you alr-?"Dream begins as he sits up

"Dream!"Cross cheers, knocking him down in bed in a hug

I see him hug Dream tightly, looking so relieved. Then both their faces burn and they split apart, Cross awkwardly looking away.

"*Ahem* I am...glad that you're okay, Dream. I got worried..."He says quietly

Dream smiles at him.

"Thank you for getting us out of there, Cross."Dream says

A tentacle quickly pulls me away and I find myself landing in Nighty's lap as he snuggles me in his bed.

"I want time together, Glitchy. Can we just relax?"He asks

"Of coUrSe, NiGhTy."I say

He smiles, his tentacles curling around me. The snuggling is nice as the room settles into a quiet peace. He grabs a book, starting to read while his tentacles cuddle me close, two petting my head or rubbing my cheek. I smile, letting them do as they wish. Then I get an idea after scrolling through my phone.

Nighty is distracted...And it is actually peaceful. I should take the chance.

I start searching songs and making a playlist titled: ~E+NM~. I even find sites recommending music brands for what I am seeking...Classical or instrumental music usually works best for the occasion. Then I feel a head rest on my shoulder and I can see Nighty pausing from reading to glance at my phone.
