Contract Killers (Multiship)

Chapter 61 - Awkwardness

Dust's POV

Blue continued his whining as I dragged him through the town.

Blue: I don't want to do this.

Me: You'll have fun, mate. Trust me.

Blue: No. Dust, please.

We arrived at where I was pulling him. It was a skating rink. He persisted with pulling away but I didn't let go.

Blue: Please Dust, I'll embarrass myself.

Me: Who cares about being embarrassed? It's about having fun.

Blue: I do.

I sat him on the bench and handed him a pair of skates. He tied the laces at a slow pace. I waited for him to finish. When he was done, I took hold of his hand and led him to the ice.

Carefully stepping out, the blades glided against the ice. Blue wasn't so graceful.

Blue: A little help, Dust.

I chuckled as I grabbed his hand to help him stand up. He was able to regain his balance but he still wobbled a little. I wrapped my arm around his waist.

I observed the surroundings as we moved across the ice. Lights were strung in the trees. Snow covered the ground and people stood together, holding warm drinks in their hands. Christmas music played in the background as the skaters moved swiftly on the cold surface.

After a few minutes of Blue stumbling, he finally got the hang of it. However, the inevitable happened, Blue slipped. He grabbed my sleeve which caused me to fall unceremoniously onto the hard ice.

Me: That's going to bruise. Bloody hell.

Blue: I'm so sorry, Dust! I didn't mean to slip.

Me: It's okay. That just really fucking hurt.

I pushed myself up and patted my clothing down. Taking Blue's hand, I yanked him off the ground. We agreed we would skate for a few more minutes before we head back home.

(Time Skip)

Dream gave me a bag of ice to put over my bruise. The stingy feeling made me pull the bag away but Dream put it back. Blue sat next to me, watching me while he drank from a cup of coffee. He looked down at the liquid before looking at me with something on his mind.

Blue: Hey Dust, do you want to go hiking tomorrow?

Me: Sure, just make sure to bring warm clothing.

Blue: Okay.

Dream was making soup as he listened to us talk.

Dream: You know, I heard the top of the mountains are beautiful during this time of year.

Me: That they are. I've been up there a few times. Breathtaking view of the city up north. Everything covered in snow, it all glistening under the light of the sun. The pines smell lovely up there as well.

Blue began to help Dream with the soup and I went to wake Horror up. As I opened the door, I saw Lust and Horror making out. They broke the kiss and stared at me.

Me: Oh my god, I am so sorry.

I went back to the kitchen with purple blush covering my face.

Blue: Why are you blushing?

Me: Lust and Horror were making out.

Dream: That's awkward.

Me: Tell me about it.

Killer came down the stairs with a bitch expression.

Killer: Horror and Lust are so loud, they might as well be fucking each other. They literally woke me up.

His room was next to theirs so I felt bed for him. I laughed.

Me: That sucks, mate.

Killer sat down and rested his forehead on the table. Dream went over to kiss him.

Dream: Morning, Kills.

Killer: Mornin'.

He mumbled through the wood of the table. Dream giggled as he went back to cooking.

Horror and Lust eventually came down but the whole atmosphere was cringeworthy. No one said a word and didn't dare break the silence. Suddenly, Nightmare spoke out of nowhere.

Nightmare: Holy shit guys. All of this is making me anxious, can someone please say something.

Horror: Something.

Nightmare: ... Listen here, you little shit. Don't be a smartass with me.

Horror: You said "say something", so I said something.

Nightmare: Don't give me that sass.

Horror: Okay dad.

Nightmare hit Horror on the back of his head. Everyone laughed which lightened the mood greatly. We all went back to talking normally and doing our daily routine.

Killer: Hey, did anyone notice that there has been a decrease in contracts? We're only getting like... two per day now.

Me: Now that you mention it, yeah I have. I guess people are worrying less about their enemies since it's close to the holidays.

Nightmare: I predict that the numbers will increase after New Years.

Horror: Yeah.

Me: Hey, at least everyone is spending time with their...

Families

A Quick Discussion
