(Juniper is Error's bitty and Scratch is Cross's bitty)
(Cross' P.O.V)
The snowstorm's howl scares me more than anything out here, other than freezing to death. Nightmare's still weakened by his hyperthermia but, Error has haphephobia, so that makes me the one who has to carry him. I shift my gaze to the purple midget who's clinging to my warm hoodie. "How are you holding up?" I ask warmly.
"I'm doing just fine. I think I'm able to stand now." He's trying to wriggle free of my arms. I shake my head.
"No. You're still tired. You don't think I can't see it? You have done enough on foot. I know you're strong but, you still need some warm clothes before you can actually walk with us." I tell him firmly.
Error waves at me with his left hand, the lantern he's holding was in his right. "Hey, Cross, we're home! I can see it from this dune-like pile of snow!"
My eyes lit up. I glance down at the midget and smile. "Nightmare, did you hear that? We're home! Hold on tight!" In less than half a second, I feel him clinging to me with all his strength. I start running after Error who's a few paces ahead of me.
I stopped. Nightmare let go of his grasp. I opened the door.
The house was a mess. Papers were everywhere, some were even shredded! There were bite marks all over the furniture! "Juniper, Scratch! We know you two did this!"
Laughter and chuckles filled the house as two miniature versions of me and Error cane running straight to us. The small me jumped onto my shoulder. Juniper, well, explained everything to Error, who's listening very closely to what Juniper has to say.
Scratch pointed down to the smol who's basically half-asleep in my arms. "Is that your boyfriend?" He snickered. I scoop Scratch into the palm of my hand -which he hates- and set him down on the coffee table.
I shake my head and venture into the spare room that we conveniently have. I place Nightmare onto the bed and cover him up. "Sleep well." I whisper into his ear.
(Error's P.O.V)
My bitty is asleep, curled up in the scarf I've taken days to knit. Scratch kisses his forehead. You see, Scratch and Juniper have been in a relationship for over six months. I think it's adorable as Cross thinks it's just weird.
I try not to make much noise but, Cross' footsteps -that are echoing around the house- is making it very difficult. I put a finger over my 'lips', signaling to Cross for him to step lightly. He nods.
I get up and put on my furry coat and head out the door silently, just to meet up with somebody.
And who's that?
Ink.
An Ink puddle was all I needed to find. Shouldn't be hard, considering that everywhere else is either white, or Glacier-Blue. A sudden hand on my shoulder made me crash. (haphephobic)
"Error, relax. It's just me, Ink."
(Ink's P.O.V)
Dang it. He crashed. Two choices appeared above his body. Continue? Or Reboot? Obviously I pressed reboot. I just sit there and wait til he finishes rebooting.
(Back with Scratch and Juniper......)
(Scratch's P.O.V)
Error left. Cross is snoring on the couch. My lover is asleep on my lap because, I moved him there when Error left. I pet his skull softly, a purr escaped Juniper's throat. A shift of movement caught my attention as Juniper's stirring. His eyes flutter open. "Enjoying the view~?" I coo.
Instantly his face flushed a goldenrod yellow. "S-scratch! How did-? Wh-where's?-"
I put my finger on his 'lips' to silence him. "Error's gone out. I don't know where he went but, I think it's to go see Ink."
"O-oh.." Juniper sits up and cuddles up to me. I pet him once more and kiss his forehead. He whines and kisses me back. It's dead silent so, I hum myself to sleep.
