"Did you sleep well Error? While I was out, I got you some clothing so you can cover yourself up"

Error visibly relaxed but still kept his eyes on Killer who was behind Nightmare.

"It is alright Error, everyone in this room is trust worthy and a member of my team, they will not hurt you"

Error nodded and sat up. Nightmare glanced at all the soft expressions his team were making towards Error and decided then and there they would all look after this dark skeleton and make him one of their own.

(Aannndd were back~)

(Dreams POV – Head Quarters)

Almost two months had passed and everyone have Headquarters were getting ready for the destroyer's bimonthly attack on unsuspecting AUs in the multiverse. I was tasked with pin pointing any major drop of positivity as per usual, only this time there was too much positivity. Usually my brother and his team who Ink had dubbed the Bad Sanses 'the guy is as good at naming things as all Asgores' had not attacked for the past month, which was surreal and had taken multiple checks on my own part to make sure I wasn't just 'dreaming' things. Turns out I wasn't going crazy and that there truly wasn't any activity.

The last time we had fought the destroyer my brother had shown up with his team, it was a shock to me but not to Ink. After that fight ink had gone...quiet and less interactive with the rest of us as he usually does, instead he was taking in more personal projects and working less and less with us to defend the universe. Over the course of the last month and a bit he would disappear for days at a time leaving me in charge.

Today I am lucky to not have to worry about that, I instead use my free time to train with Blue. This amount of positivity makes me twitchy with power. Ink refuses to tell anyone about his new plan on stopping Error, claiming that the less we know the better chance of success we have.

"I will just have to wait until the fight" he hummed to himself

(Killers POV - Nightmares Castle)

Error had settled perfectly into our dysfunctional family. Even though he was by far the eldest, he was our little brother, the one we would protect from the evils of the world. We later found out that Error had no knowledge on everyday life besides how to create dolls and clothing for himself. So as caring as we all are, we took turns to teach him.

Horror quickly took the roll of food and cooking. He hated how Error was left to starve and never given the chance to proper nutrition, it reminded Horror to much of how Ink abandoned his own AU. Cross, being the most child like of us all, wanted to show Error the wonders of 'growing up' like games and crafts. The two of them ended up drawing a picture of them all with the word 'Family' written along the bottom, it made Nightmare tear up and smile, even though he will deny ever doing so.

Talking about the goopy octopus, he took on the role of 'teaching' Error how to read and write, history, war tactics and helped him with his social skills. This alone all but caused Errors glitching voice to disappear, it only glitched when he was having an anxiety attack or when he was unexpectedly touched. Dust helped show him defence and art of sneaking, turns out he naturally was light footed and proved difficult to detect.

Me on the other hand showed him offense and how to best disable your opponents with and without the use of his magic. Error was excellent at offensive manoeuvre while using his magic but struggled when he wasn't, mostly because he was still far to hesitant to touch his opponents which was probably why he was so good at dodging. 

Were all trying to help him with that fact by occasionally touching his shoulder or holding his hand, like right now, Cross decided on showing Error a Disney movie. He called it 'Beauty and the Freak' and while watching it Cross and I were both holding Errors hands, Dust and Horror were on the ground and just leaning on his legs while he sat in Nightmares lap.

This was the biggest accomplishment so far as to touching and the best thing was that he put himself in that state asking everyone to be where they are now. It was amusing to see Nightmare freak out when Error just situated himself in the boss's lap, the others were definitely jealous that they couldn't have the 'small' bean in their lap, but so was I. 

By the end of the film, as cringy as it was, the tall skele had fallen asleep, successfully trapping Nightmare on the couch. As evil as the rest of us are, we left him there while going to our rooms to sleep but not before getting a quick snap of it on our phones 'it was too cute not to'.

The next morning, we all woke up to an angry blushing Nightmare and a very confused Error 'it was totally worth it'. It was during breakfast that morning that Error brought up the fact that he would have to go out to destroy soon again. We all decided to help him do so.

 We all decided to help him do so
