No More Freshness

~¤~Ch.27~¤~

    You'd think that through these days, the four skeletons would have been used to surprises. The small "hello", however, made Fresh jump, woke Deccy with a scream, made Geno yelp and latch onto a now rebooting Error. As Fresh helped Deccy peel himself off of his own body, he couldn't help the purple blush that crossed his features. Deccy, he himself also covered in a yellow hue, had smoothed down his pants as soon as he let go of Fresh. Geno got off of the now fuming Error and held his scarf as Error angrily looked towards the creator of the noise. Right in front of a small green portal was a small but tough looking skeleton with an x-shaped slash across his left eye socket. The small skeleton coughed and walked forward, folding his arms at Error.

   "H-heyo. N-Name's Naiko. Y-you?" he asked, and in that moment, Fresh saw that his body and eyelights were shaking. He was either sick, scared, or both. Fresh helped a wobbly half-awake Deccy up and walked over to him.

   "I'm yet all up'n totally radical neighbrohood funky cool cat Fresh, broski. Dis lil munchkin 'ere 's Decans, but I call'm Deccy. That awesome glitchy dude is Error, and da rad dude in da scarf is Geno. Wut brings ya ta da sa ve screen, brah?" Fresh stated in one breath, scanning Naiko's features carefully for any hint of where he came from under his glasses. Besides his shaky figure, he had a large amount of scars on his arms and face. His white tee shirt was ripped, and his green x-shaped sash had what looked to be an electrocuter of some sort merged in it, a small box hanging out that said 'HIGH VOLTAGE'. Fresh was so busy trying to figure out the sash, he almost didn't hear Naiko's response.

   "I just come here to get away from my bro for a bit. He... let's just say he's a little bit on the crazy side. Heh heh." Naiko chuckled to himself nervously, shaking violently now. It clicked for Fresh then- abuse. It was obvious once he learned that small piece of info.

   "S-sorry, Naiko. I k-know h-how you f-feel, t-though." Deccy stated quietly, his eye sockets brimmed with tears. Fresh wrapped his arms around Deccy and gave him a side hug, nuzzling his 'nose' on Decans' skull while mumbling nice words. Naiko watched in awe- he had never really seen acts of kindness like that. Once Decans had calmed down, Fresh spoke again.

   "Sorry for all up'n rainin' on her parade here, but ma bro here really can't leave or else, poof. So. . . yer welcome ta stay if ya want, we don' min' it." He yawned, his arms and legs stretching out as he felt himself get more and more smitten for a real bed. Deccy looked over at Geno- he was asleep on his nonexistent stomach and Error was asleep sprawled out over Geno in the opposite direction. Deccy tapped Fresh's shoulder and pointed, making Naiko chuckle at the sight while Fresh just stared at Naiko. His laugh was sad, broken, and dry. Naiko saw Fresh and looked away, rubbing his arm.

   "Y-yeah, I-I think I-I'll stay a w-while, i-if that's o-okay." Naiko stated with a shaky smile.

   "Aight kid. Might as well join da dog pile den, huh? Dec, hol' on a sec while I do dis." Fresh stated tiredly as he jumped into the air, did a flip, and landed on Error and Geno somehow softly before falling asleep almost instantaneously.

   Deccy laughed and laid down beside him, patting the spot next to him for Naiko. Naiko walked over and sat next to him and the two sat there telling puns to eachother until both of them fell asleep.
