Losing control

Nightmare's POV

The day had gone by quickly, and the people in my new class gave me less trouble than I thought they would have. Only occasionally teasing me for things like my size here and there. 

We're currently making our way out of the school, everyone keeping at least a foot away from my classmates. Though people aren't as scared of me.

"Mistake of a Joku!" One of them jeers.

I ignore it. But still, no matter how many times i've endured it, it still hurts.

Then I notice something strange, I see the person who yelled that cower back in fear. Then, I realize. Cross, Dust, and Retri are all looking directly at him.

"Hey! Only we get to tease nightmare now. Got it?" Cross says, his tone deceptively calm.

"Wh-what?" I don't understand why they're doing this.

"Face it nighty~" Retri's says,

"You're one of us now." Dust finishes the sentence for her.

"Come on guys. I'm hungry~." I quickly learned today that Horror is always hungry, from quotes like that.

"Alright, alright horror we're coming." Cross sound a little....tired? Frustrated? I can't place it.

We walk out of the school and into the courtyard. There are still students, But the majority have already left.

"NIGHTMARE JOKU"

"Oh shit-"

Cross' POV

"NIGHTMARE JOKU"

I hear Nightmare mumble a quiet "Oh shit" before turning around with a very fake and very nervous smile.

"Heeeeeey bro. Whats up?"

Nightmare has a brother??

"Don't you "bro"me. You're are in a LOT of trouble! So you better explain yourself before you regret it!"

"I-I have no idea what you're talking about"

"Oh I think you do~. WHY  DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THE PRINCIPAL MOVED YOU TO THE TROUBLED CLASS!"

"I...didn't think...you would..want to know??" Jeez, I really need to teach nightmare how to lie.

"Nightmare."

"Yes?"

"Do you honestly think i'm that stupid."

"N-no! Of course not!"

"Alright, I'm gonna let you off the hook. HOWEVER, your new 'friends' are going to stay over tonight so I can see if they're actually good people."

"Well, what are you waiting for night~" I say, a smug tone creeping into my voice.

"R-really?"

"Yea, we're pals now!" Dust says.

"LETS GO" Retri starts running off.

"Does she know where she's going"

"Nope." killer says in a 'this-is-perfectly-normal voice' triggering a laugh from me and a chuckle from Nightmare's bro.

"I'll go get her." The bro volunteers

"d0n'T BoTHeR"

"But-"

"3...2...1" Horror lazily counts

Retri reappears by my side.

"Ummmmm, where are we going again??"

I chuckle, but before I can say anything, I'm cut off by a shrill voice

"DREAM!!"

The brother, who I now know as 'Dream' looks over in the direction of the voice.

"Hey Blue!" He says as a small skeleton makes his way over. He has blue star shaped eyes and a blue bandana tied in to a bow around his neck. He seems innocent enough, but there's something about his eyes that tell me otherwise

Another skeleton was close behind blue, his clothes were splattered with paint and ink, and his pupils were mismatched. A yellow star on the right and a blue circle on the left.

"Hey ink!"

"Heya dream! Did'ja make some new friends?"

"Actually, these are Nightmares friends. They're going to be staying the night. Actually, on second thought, how bout' you guys come over too?"

"SLUMBER PARTYYYY!" Ink and Blue scream in unison, earning a couple strange looks.

~Time skip cause i'm way  too lazy to describe the walk there~

Lust's POV

"Nightmare...... why didn't you tell us, that YOU LIVE IN A FREAKING MANSION?!?!" Killer says, before promptly freaking out in a corner. I snicker.

"Ummmmm.... because...I didn't think it was important??" Nightmare says nervously.

"NOT IMPORTANT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

Nightmare immediately retreated behind Cross, triggering the rest of the our group into Their lenny faces. 

"You're never gonna hear the end of this Crossy~"

Cross blushes a very light purple. That, however, does not stop us from noticing.

"Somebody's in loove~, Somebody's in loove~" Retri sings while dancing around him.

"I will kill you if you say that again."

"You can't kill me if you can't reach me."

"Touché"
