Contract Killers (Multiship)

Chapter 51 - Thanksgiving

Dream's POV

I woke to the smell of something delicious coming from the kitchen. I threw on a cardigan and headed towards the location of the scent. The mouth watering aroma grew stronger as I drew closer to the room.

When I made it in there, I saw Killer, Ink, Lust, and Nightmare standing around. They all were cooking.

Me: Morning guys. Um, what are you doing?

Ink: We're having an early Thanksgiving dinner because it's most likely that we'll be busy with work on that day.

Me: Let me help then.

Nightmare: You can make the scalloped potatoes. Ink is making rolls, I'm making the turkey, so on and so forth. We all have our part.

I nodded to him and grabbed a platter from the cabinet. One after another, everyone came into the room. Horror made the steam rolls, Error set the table, Dust made rice, Cross made tamales, and Blue was in charge of the greens.

(Time Skip)

I sat between Dust and Killer. Hot plates sat on the table. Candles lined the middle and napkins were neatly folded. Cross kinda forced us to say grace but I didn't mind. When we said amen, we began to plate our food.

I was happily eating when I saw Ink whisper to Error. He whispered back. Ink stood up slowly to get our attention.

Ink: I have something to tell you. Yesterday, I learned some shocking news. I am... pregnant.

The entire room went silent and Nightmare spit out his drink.

Nightmare: You're WHAT?! You're kidding me.

Ink: I'm telling the truth. Scouts honor.

Nightmare stood up and towered over Ink. He looked like he was going to kill him. However, that aura went away as Nightmare hugged Ink with a wholesome grip.

Nightmare: I'm happy for you. Error will make a great father for your child.

His voice held a bit of sadness in it but it overall had the presence of a loving and supportive friend.

Killer leaned and talked to me quietly.

Killer: When do you think Error and Ink fucked?

I hit his arm slightly and he softly chuckled.

Ink: Now let's continue this delicious meal that was prepared by all of us.

He sat down with Error's wrapped around him. They kissed each other without a care in the world. The news was still very shocking to me.

Cross: I would like to say thanks please.

We gave him our fullest attention.

Cross: I am thankful for all of you and the carefully prepared food. May Jesus and the Holy Father watch over your souls.

We began to say our thanks for the things in our lives.

Lust: I am thankful for this family. You had the right to throw me out but you didn't. I thank you for your hospitality.

Once we finished our little speeches, we clinked our glasses of our chosen alcohol. Except for Ink, he was limited to water.

(Time Skip)

After we cleaned the table, everyone left to do their own thing. And the two new parents, Error and Ink, left to do something together.

Killer and I sat on the balcony, with a plate of angel cake topped with whipped cream. Strawberries filled the center and gave the food a pop of color.

Killer draped a blanket over us while we ate the dessert. The weather was cold but that didn't stop us from enjoying our afternoon.

I took a small bite of the cake. The fluffiness of the cream gave the food a light touch. The strawberries was a bold flavor that finished the experience of a delicious afternoon snack. Coffee rested next to us. The steam was visible in the stinging chilly air. A perfect meal. For me, at least.

The coffee had a strong delightful smell but a soft espresso taste. Creamer added that needed flavor. Caramel was always my go-to choice of extra add ons.

Killer: Dream, I was wondering. Do you wanna go on a date?

Me: Sure. Where do you want to go?

Killer: There's this German restaurant that I've been meaning to try.

He pulled me closer to him and wrapped the blanket tighter around us. I took a drink from the my coffee. The liquid warmed my soul.

Me: Maybe we can have a proper Thanksgiving next year.

Killer: Yeah. I hope so as well.

I kissed him on the cheek.

Happy Early Thanksgiving
