Lost Cause

Chapter 6

Here's another enjoy!

Error had to have his bandages replaced and Blueberry took a sobbing Error upstairs. Ink had stepped outside to talk to Cross, and the others were on the hunt for Dream.

"Finally, he's alone."

Blueberry, in his eyes,was a useless fighter. Dropping down behind the house he watched as Blueberry changed the bandages on Errors head. "It's okay, Cross just got a little mad is all." Blueberry explained putting the kit away. "Why would Cross get mad? I didn't do anything wrong did I?" Error asked whipping his eyes. Blueberry quickly went to change that opinion. "No, your fine hon, he and the others were discussing things and it made him mad." Blueberry explained. Error yawned slightly smiling knowing he wasn't in trouble.

However, noticing the black gooey skeleton watching him made him cling to his daddy's shirt. "Daddy, why's he staring at me?" Error asked. Blueberry looked over and saw nothing. Just snow dancing and hitting the ground ending they're dance. "Sweetheart no ones there." Blueberry said rubbing Error's head. "Yes there was, he was black and looked like he was melting." He explained burying his face into Blueberry's shirt.

Blueberry sat frozen. How could he have found them? Cross never told and Horror said he'd rather die than tell. That left Dust. Did Dust know? Did he tell?

Blueberry looked down to see Error asleep and softly snoring as tears stained his face. Blueberry smiled and took him to down stairs where a Papyrus was dozing off. Softly shaking Papyrus, Blueberry asked him if he would sleep with Error and he agreed without a second thought.

-time skip-

Ink, being gently to open the door after the incident, stepped in and sighed seeing the house was okay. Cross came in behind with his knife put away. "He's probably gonna hate me after that." Cross mumbled. "Ink looked over the couch to see Papyrus watching TV and Error snuggled to him under his arm. He was admittedly cute. "So, did you get things calmed down?" Carrot asked. Ink nodded and carefully sat down beside Error who grabbed Inks middle finger and pointer finger. "Uh?" Ink wasn't sure of how to act to this. Actually his mind got a little scrambled.

"He likes you."

Ink looked up at Carrot who smirked finding Inks reaction funny. "I cannot believe he is so much different than what he used to be, he used to hate physical contact let alone he touch someone." Ink whispered rubbing Error's hand with his thumb. Papyrus knew they both had a stable background when they were kids but then it all fell. At least that's what Ink told him.

Maybe they can start over.

'Or not.'

Cross felt something was off. Someone was watching them... very closely. He looked around but found nothing. What was watching them? Blueberry noticed and sighed, "Cross, can we talk?" He asked putting on a reassuring smile. Cross knew Blueberry wouldn't hurt him after that whole thing (chapter 4). Cross sighed dragging his feet to the doorway of the kitchen. Blueberry's smile went to a frown and the stars in his eye sockets disappeared. "Nightmare found him." Blueberry said quietly. Cross growled knowing who it was, "Dust that asshole. We never even said anything to him, how'd he find us?" Cross asked himself slapping his forehead. Cross looked over at Error who was sleeping peacefully and smiled. "We know what he wants and we aren't letting him have it." Cross said situating a plan out in his head. "Cross, I know it wasn't you. So you shouldn't be putting all this weight on yourself." Chara, his little ghost friend, said otherwise and was just as much freaking out. They liked this Error to even if he didn't want revenge like he used to.

"First off we need to find Dream."

Cross nodded but where to start, there were over like quadrillion (yes, that's a number) AU. "Yes, but where to start and we need all the help we can get here to protect Error." Cross pressed on, "Nightmare is here and he wants Error." Blueberry tried looking on the bright side of this situation and found tiny limited options. Talking to Nightmare won't work, believe him, he already tried it more than once. He glanced over at Error and smiled softly. "If we have to FIGHT him then so be it." Blueberry was willing to do anything for Error, his precious little Erry, his precious son.

Cross blinked at this suggestion, Blueberry was pacifist so why now change!?

Coming in, loudly, was Undertale Papyrus( I still don't know what to call him) and Underfell Papyrus (Gonna call him Edge). Others were quiet. However, no one said anything cause they were just naturally loud. "We found Dream, he was in Outertale." Dream came in with little stars in his eye sockets. "Where is he?" He asked putting his hands on his hips. Carrot put his hand in the air lazily calling him over. "He's sleeping." He said as Error cuddled closer to him burying his face into Carrots hoodie.

Dream looked over finding Error kinda cute. "He doesn't look harmful, he looks the exact opposite if anything else." He gently poked Error causing him to slowly start waking up and letting Dream get a good look. Error seemed harmless and innocent, most of all oblivious. "Uncle Carrot..." he yawned rubbing his eyes. Dream smiled and looked up at the supposed Uncle Carrot. Carrot smiled rubbing Error's skull.

Error looked at Dream and acted as if he had been awake for hours. "Woah, I love your eyes they're so pretty and your cape is so cool!" Error said as little stars formed in his eye sockets. "Oh, uh, thank you Error, I'm Dream." Dream said trying to not at all look a bit confused.

"Guess we got this all wrapped up don't we Dust?"
