Under Arrest (Multiship)

~Chapter 40~

--- Error's POV ---

I was busy sitting in the apartment that the officers had given us. It was a reasonable size for the three unconscious males including me. Reaper and Nightmare were still at Classic's house taking care of Geno. Dream was sitting on the sofa as he tended to Killer's wounds while the officer wearing blue went into the kitchen to make tacos. Lust sat on the single seater sofa as he gazed his direction on Horror who was soundly asleep.

"You seem to know him already," I spoke out, breaking the awkward silence. Lust jumped up and looked at me, before relaxing.

"Yeah, I know Horror," he said glumly before resting his head on his arm.

"You know you can talk to me. Just because I'm a criminal doesn't make me like a normal person," I told him as he looked up. He gave me a reassuring smile before he told his story of how he met Horror back in college and one day, Horror unexpectedly left him, saying that he didn't love him at all. "Wow. I didn't expect him to do that..." I responded.

"Yeah. It took a toll on me too," he continued.

"Horror did tell me that his parents divorced and neither of them wanted to take care of him. Because of that, Horror ran away from society until he bumped into our lot. He was the last person to join our gang," I said, slowly trusting these officers with information like this. I looked back at Horror, remembering the time when he arrived. I sighed as Lust walked up to Horror with a blanket. He quickly tucked him in, planting a kiss on his forehead before sitting back down.

"Sometimes I wish we went back to the way that things were before..." Lust said wistfully.

Suddenly the door slammed open as Ink came running through, clutching his chest.

"Dream, where are the pills," he said chocking and holding his mouth. I noticed how his eye-lights was half unnatural pearl white and the bottom half was his regular mismatched eyes. Dream took one look at him before running off to get the supposed pills. I looked back at Ink who was still clutching his chest. Lust gestured me to go comfort Ink while I looked at him, eyes widened.

"What?!" I whispered as Lust gave me a stern look to go. I squinted my eyes at him before walking towards Ink. I gently patted his back and looked back at Lust to see if I was doing it correctly. Except that he face-palmed himself as I gave a shrug in response.

So I did it again as I sort of hugged Ink but not too much physical contact, since I hate it to the brim. "It's ok..." I said while looking back at Lust who gave a smile of uncertainty. Ink however just stared at me as if he was staring at my soul, the white pupils taking over the coloured ones. He looked at me emotionless until Dream walked in on us weirdly hugging. He held his hand to his face as he held a giggle back.

"That's sweet of you Error!" Dream exclaimed as I instantly let go of Ink and raising my hands in the air before going back to the sofa at sitting down. Lust laughed while I hid in my hoodie. Dream took some multicoloured pills out and stuffed them in Ink's mouth. Ink started acting weirdly as he vibrantly shook as his eye-lights were changing colours every second. After he had stopped moving, he blinked before looking where he was.

"I forgot to take the pills with me..." Ink said dismally as he looked down. 

"That's ok Ink. At least Error was there to comfort you!" Dream said giggling as I hid even further into my hoodie. Before I knew it, Ink was hugging me really tightly with a big smile plastered on his face.

"Thank you Error!" he said, continuing to tighten the grip around me. Too much physical contact meant that I started to glitch out as Ink took notice and let go. After it had died down, I looked at Ink with a worried look that he'll do it again. Thankfully the blue-wearing officer came in with a plate of tacos.

"Food's ready!"

--- Geno's POV ---

After being knocked out, I gently opened my eyes, adjusting to the dark room I was in. Before I closed my eyes again, I realised I was in the normal world again. I looked down as I stretched my fingers and inspected my hands if I was fully back in control - I was. 

"Yes!" I said quietly, not wanting to wake up Nightmare on the sofa. I still had the recollection of what the entity was doing so I knew who he was. Thankfully he had the forcefield around me from escaping. 

"I wouldn't count on that idiot," I heard the dreaded voice as I looked beside me to see him floating.

"What do you want?" I hissed while he gave me a bored expression.

"You know I can't leave your body unless the person who actually put the spell on you reverses it," he explained.

"Great. I have no idea who did it in the first place," I said losing my hope.

"Hey don't sweat it. I want to get out of your body too. I had my fun and I can't deal with the bullshit from your father," he said lazing back.

"Wait, my father? My dad died in a car crash?" I asked confusedly.

"I can see your parents by looking in your soul. And your father was the one that put the spell," he continued, not knowing how serious it is.

"WHAT?" I shouted as my eye-light flared blue and red, jolting Nightmare awake.

"What! What happened?!" he said looking at me as I saw a ghost. "Geno? You're awake!" Nightmare exclaimed but then looked worried as held his staff out, "...or not..."

"Wait no! I am Geno!" I exclaimed. Guess everyone doesn't trust my actions yet. Nightmare kept his serious face on as he lowered his staff. Suddenly to door slammed open as I saw Reaper standing in the doorway as if something serious happened.

"What's happening here?!" he looked around as his eyes landed on me. Before I could utter a word, he had teleported right at me and tackled me into a hug. 

"You don't know how great it is to hug someone,"
