◻◻◻

The war between the Bad Sans' and Star Sans' ragged on for years and years. They never stopped fighting 'till the other surrender or was beaten into submission. Today was an unlikely day were they weren't fighting, for once but instead of the Star Sans' the Bad Sans' were fighting each other. Nightmare and Error had gotten into a rather heated argument about what to do to win the war. They ended up fighting beating each other within an inch of their lives. Error had come out badly beaten but Nightmare didn't leave the fight without more than a few injuries himself. The only problem was that Nightmare was the owner of the castle so he kicked Error out. He also had Cross to take care of him so Error felt it was unfair but moved on.

This brings us to now with Error wandering the forest of the AU were two had collided the Star Sans' base on one side and the Bad Sans' on the other. It was a shock to see how the AU's managed to stabilize and keep from caving in on one another destroying themselves in the process. Error was stuck in the 'battlefield' until Nightmare decides to bring him back. They had gotten in a fight with the Star Sans' not too long ago mostly right before the argument Nightmare and Error had, so he had to be careful unless he wanted to get his ass handed to him by Ink or even worse Blue. Error had his arm slightly wrapped around his chest his broken ribs being the least of his concerns as he weight shifted onto his bad leg. A 'Pop' rang out a loud 'Crack' following afterward Error yelped as he was sent crashing the ground. He groaned the pain in his ribs being enough for him to want to die. He pushed himself up slowly looking himself over. He was covered in blood broken bones, scratches, and cuts littered his body. Error sighed and laid back down. The hole in his shoulder from Nightmare stabbing him acting up from using his arm too much. Error grumbled and just watched the sky he would wince every now and then as he breathed. The feeling of his ribs moving and scratching the back of his spine was growing to be too much for Error. He coughed his eyes fluttering closed before snapping open, he hadn't realized how badly hurt he was until the adrenalin started to wear off. Error winced and placed his hand on his shoulder trying to stop the bleeding. Error sighed it was getting late. "FuCk iT. i'Ll JuSt DiE oUt HeRe!" He shouted at himself hoping to get the attention of one of the Star Sans, he hoped they would kill him and put him out of his misery. He breathing grew labored and the pain slowly began to kick in. Sweat beaded down his forehead as he tried to stay awake. He rolled to the side as he began to cough. He groaned loudly hot liquid bubbling up his throat before the strong metallic taste of blood filled his mouth. Error quickly spit it out blood further staining the grass below him. The rustling of bushes fell upon deaf ears as Error coughed blood leaking from his mouth. To him, it felt like he was suffocating the feeling of anxiety and the fear of death finally setting in. Error was having a panic attack, his breathing quickened as much as it could. His labored and quick breaths didn't help his coughing fit making it worse. The rustling of bushes got louder 'till a shadowed figure popped out. They looked up at the dark sky moonlight shone down on the large forest beams of the light making their way through the trees. The shadowed figure slowly made their way towards Error slowly. Hints of gold reflected of the figure bouncing off the beams of the moonlight. They inched closer to Error and waited for his coughing fit to finish.

Error's breathing slowed as he finally managed to tire himself out his coughing fit finally relaxing. His labored breaths came out slow and peaceful despite the pain he was clearly in he just felt tired. His eyes were half-lidded and he waited for darkness to take him letting himself dust and be done with it all. The figure placed a hand on Error's shoulder making the poor glitch freak out. He tried to push himself to sit up resulting in him falling back to the ground quickly he winced pain shooting through him once more. "Hey, hey! Calm down I'm not going to hurt you!" The figure said in a soft voice ushering Error to stay calm and keep still. Error slowly tilted his head to the side trying to see who exactly was hovering over him. Error flinched as he was met with bright gold eyes filled with what seemed to be worry. "D-dReAm!?" he choked out wincing with his tone of voice his throat still sore from the coughing fit. They nodded and shushed him "Error calm down. I'm not going to hurt you, I'm here to help." he spoke softly placing his hand on Error chest green magic flaring up around Dreams hand. The magic slowly made it's way to the injured parts of Error's body soothing the pain only slightly. Error winced as pressure was applied to his shoulder. "Sorry." Dream mumbled, "What happened to you?" Dream asked softly looking at Error then at most of the wounds that littered his body the green magic fading away. "N-...nIghTmARe." Error spoke in a hoarse voice coughing slightly. Dream just sighed and nodded he was a bit beat up but not as badly as Error. He could at least walk a foot without falling. Dream slowly lifted Error's head and placed it on his lap "Gosh...he really did a number on you." Dream whispered as the green magic completely faded away it had only stopped the bleeding it seemed the gashes and other serious wounds were too much to be healed by his magic alone. Dream sighed listening to Error's labored breathing "Do you think you can walk?" Dream whispered as the dead of night finally began to set in. It wasn't safe to stay out here in the open like this they had to find shelter. Error nodded slightly and slowly began to sit up wincing as he did so. Dream cringed feeling bad for making him move but he had no choice. Not to mention Error must be either really sick or hurt for him to trust or even listen to Dream like this. Dream sighed and stood up helping Error to his feet, Dream gulped as Error towered over him slightly he then wrapped one of Error's arms around his neck helping him walk. Error shifted his weight off his bad leg onto Dream making the smaller yelp slightly almost losing his balance. Error ignored him and began to walk with Dream following him to a small cave not to far away. Dream quickly made his way with Error to the cave and laid him down. Error seemed to be getting worse. Dream sighed and quickly began to heal him again "You can sleep Error." Dream whispered Error didn't even give a second thought before he was passed out cold. Dream's eyes scanned over Error he winced at the sight of his injuries. He shook his head before laying down within a close vicinity to Error he wanted to make sure the taller didn't die overnight or if something were to happen he would be able to help. Dream shivered at the cold air that seemed to freeze his bones. "Winter." Dream whispered his bone brows knitting together in worry. If he and Error got caught out here during winter they would surely die. Dream looked at Error who to seemed to shiver. Dream blushed slightly at the idea that popped up in his head, he would never admit it anyone but he had grown fond of the glitch next to him. Dream gulped as he moved closer to Error snuggling up in the crook of his good arm. Error didn't seem to mind and looked like he had relaxed at this. Dream smiled at this and slowly closed his eyes letting darkness consume him as he slowly drifted off.
