Horror's POV

'Fuck that insufferable bastard.'

That was all I could think as I sat down on the couch in the living room. Before I could do anything else, Dust yelled at me.

Dust: Hey cunt, get your country ass back in here.

Yes it's true, I'm from the country. I was born on the border of Oklahoma and Texas. However, my accent isn't as strong as most stereotypes. That's actually the case for most southerners. I hide mine though, so I don't get made fun of.

I walked up to Dust.

Me: What's up man?

Dust: Why the hell did you walk out? Are you racist towards Spanish people or something?

That question shocked me.

Me: No no no. I love Spanish people. It's just Cross who I hate.

Dust: Why?

Me: He reminds me of the person who stole my fucking motorcycle.

He started laughing.

Dust: Mate, really?

Me: Yeah.

He patted my shoulder and then got a little serious.

Dust: I don't want to force you but just take the time to get to know him. He's actually pretty cool.

I sighed in defeat.

Me: Alright fine.

He put his hand on my back and pushed me back into the kitchen.

Dust: Great news guys, I persuaded Horror to play nice with Cross.

Dream: Oh cool.

We sat down at the table with Cross. Dream was at the counter. I left Lust in my room so he could sleep in. It was a Monday and the air was chilly. The current month was October so it was nearing the cold winter.

Dream handed me a plate. I thanked him and started eating from it. Killer limped into the room. He let out a pained yawn.

Killer: What time is it?

Me: You have a phone.

Killer: I left it in my room and I'm not going back to get it. Do you know how long it took me to get down the god damn stairs? Fucking ages.

Cross: It's 09:36.

Killer: Thanks.

I yawned and scratched the crack on my head.

Dust: Oh by the way, Killer and Horror, Ink made coffee earlier.

Killer: God, Ink's a lifesaver.

Killer walked towards the coffee brewer. Dream rushed towards Killer and sat him down at the table.

Dream: I'll get it for you. Horror, do you a cup while I'm up?

Me: Yes please and thank you.

We spent the next minutes talking when Nightmare teleported into the room. Cross got excited and asked Nightmare a question.

Cross: Hey Nightmare. Want to go on a mission together?

Nightmare: Sorry Cross but I have plans today. You and Dust ca- holy shit, is Horror and Cross in the same room together?
