Chapter 20

{Recently on Chapter 19}

There was a shuffle and Error was the first to react, holding up his knife, a growl rumbling in his throat.

His eyes widened and he dropped his knife, his hands covering his mouth and tears fell down his face.
~~~~~

{Now}

Seapfell held up his gun, his finger on the trigger. A gunshot sounded and everybody froze.

Behind the figure, was a now limp body. It's flesh was mangled and green, gashes all over it which was dripping with pus and organs. The Undead

"You..saved my life.." He looked up at Swapfell with his hands up in surrender.

"Easy now, don't get trigger happy." Killer grinned. "You're alive?? How??" Error ran forward and hugged him. "Jesus you scared me..I thought you had died." He pulled away.

Ink felt a pang of jealousy as he glanced at them hugging.

"Heheh, I have my moments." He chuckled. "Alright alright dude, outta the way-" The monster behind him widened his eyes.

"Error..?" His mouth hung open. "Geno..?" He choked out.

"FRESH!!" They ran forward and hugged the brother all hugged eachother tightly, sobbing and saying 'i love you' multiple times.

"H-how?? I-I watched you d-dust!" Error's eye were wide and tears were still flowing.

"Heh, exercisin' raises ya HP above it's max my broksie. I ain't dustin' that fast my man." Fresh grinned.

He was covered in dirt and a bit if blood, his clothes ruins but none of them caring. Error gave Fresh his jacket and Fresh slipped it on.

"I was worring you guys were dead..I spent days looking for you, but I soon lost hope. I found Killer in an old bouse. He was just chillin' there. Sooo, yeah." Fresh chuckled, wiping tears from his eyes.

"We missed you so fucking much." Error hugged Fresh tightly.

"I-I missed your s-stupid games..y-your bright clothes..y-your personality..I miss YOU.." Error hiccuped and Geno hugged them both tightly.

"I..I miss you guys with all my soul..I missed you so much.." He murmured.

"C'mon. We're going to the outskirts of town. There's a safe zone there. It's blocked off by a large wooden barrier and barwire. I have friends there." Error could help but smile.

"Sounds like a rad plan my radtastic bro." Fresh grinned and Error hugged him again.

"Don't you ever, scare me like that ever again.." He whispered.

"No promises brah." He hugged him back.

"Okay, even though I could watch that moment with you guys forever, we have to go. Fast. The gunshot will be heard and will echo." Undyne nodded and Swapfell apologized.

"It's okay brah. You saved our lives my man." Fresh grinned and Killer nodded, smirking.

"Woah..Dust, what happened to yer' leg?" Killer's eyes widened. "I dunno wanna talk about.." He mumbled and hid his face.

"Mk." Killer said simply and turned. "Alright. Let's get going." He clapped his hands and motioned to Error.

"Right." He nodded and went up to the front, smiling for the first time in long, long time. Heeven forgot he was tired.

Ink went to his side and they held hands, interlacing their fingers.

"I love you Ruru." Ink looked up at him. "I love you too Kiki.." He kissed his temple softly and continued to walk.

Geno held his stomach and went to Reaper, smiling up at him and looking at his brothers who were chatting up a storm. They managed to do it quietly however.

They held hands tightly and Reaper nuzzled him, making the smaller purr and nuzzle back.

It had been another hour, and it quiet, except their footsteps and Fresh, Ink and Error talking and quiet laughter.

Geno smiled and leaned against Reaper. "What are you so happy about?" He chuckled.

"Getting my brothers back." He smiled. "But Error has been with us the entire time?" Reaper cocked his head.

"I know that..but ever aince he saw what happened to Fresh, he changed. He got violent, became more angry and depressed..he never smiled, never slept because he didn't want to see what happen to Fresh happen to us." He sighed.

"Oh, I see." Reaper nodded in understanding. Geno smiled and chuckled a bit. "Stars i'm so happy right now..going to be a mother, heading towards safety with my friends, you and now..both of my brothers.." Geno smiled from ear to ear

He couldn't be happier, despite the chaos around him..he got what he wanted. Friends, the love of his life..and his family.

Reaper was happy that his small lover was happy. It was a great feeling to know Geno was finally happy.

Swapfell was talking with Dust happily, both of occasionally laughing and blushing.

Undyne was carrying Alphys on her shoulders, telling corny jokes and occasionally flirty.

Killer was the only one that was alone. Nobody seemed to notice. Nobody except innocent little Dust. He tugged on Swapfell's coat, who looked up in confusion.

The smol pointed to Killer. He had his hands stuffed in his pockets and his hood high over his head. His gaze was fixated on the floor, a small frown on his features.

Swapfell went over and nudged him, startling Killer. He looked up. Oh..Swapfell..hey. what's up?" He asked quietly.

"Besides the pretty much end of the world, nothin' much. Dust saw you by yourself so he wanted to come over and talk or something." Killer dipped his head and chuckled. "Thank you..I haven't really had anybody to talk since this hellhole started." He chuckled, but Dust frowned.

"Didn't you have..a boyfriend in school? If i'm correct." Dust tilted his head and Killer's features darkened and his grin faltered.

"Y..yeah I did..I loved him so much." He murmured. "I loved him, and he loved me." His frown turned into snarl and he clenched his hands into tight fists.

"But people got all trigger happy..took him away..I held him in my arms as he died. As he dusted. His last words..."

"It'll be okay Killer..y-you'll be j-just fine..but..promise..y-you'll never forget me..o-okay?" The skeleton's smile faltered and he placed something in Killer's hand just as his golden eyes rolled back and his hand fell limply.

"They took my everything away.." Killer gripped the golden sun pendant around his neck, a tear slowly trailed down his cheek, dripping as it reached his chin to fall and join the dust and debris. Killer uncurled his hands which were numb, blooding slowly dripping from how hard his fingers were dug into his palms

Dust was trembling and Swapfell was staring at the ground. "I-I'm sorry Dust!" Dust cried.

"No no..it's okay.."

"It's okay..p-promise me you won't..forget me..okay..?"

I could never forget you..my love..

Never..
