It was after our shower, and it was funny to see Horror gawk at the 'rain maker' as we washed up. He couldn't exactly fit in my clothes, so he just hung out in his wolf form while his clothes were in the wash. I was more than fine with that, he was my handsome big wolf, no matter what form he was in. Papyrus on the other hand seemed panicked when he found us on the floor of the living room. "blue, what is that... thing." He asked, pointing to Horror, who narrowed his sockets. "why is it still here?" I put a hand on Horror's cheek, his gaze shifted to me as I did so, and I put on my biggest smile and brightest eyes. I was excited to have Horror stay with us. "THIS IS HORROR! HE'S STAYING WITH ME FROM NOW ON!" I replied, as such, and hugged his skull. Horror's tail wagged in response. Papyrus didn't seem to like this idea though. "staying? here?" I hummed in response. "He kept me alive over there. Undyne was gonna kill me, but he protected me." I noticed Horror was feeling uncomfortable at Papyrus next question. "do you even know him? he could be a murderer for all you know." It was a bit to close for Horror's comfort so I got up. "It's been a long day, Papy. I'm tired so we are going to bed." Horror joined me as we retreated to my room.

"Sorry about him, I'm sure he's just reeling from it all still." I apologized to Horror immediately after I shut the door. He shifted and looked around the room. "it's fine. i should expect some skepticism among your peers. i am new." He absent-mindedly started to pick at the hole in his skull and I grabbed his hand, smiling at him. "Please don't, I don't want you to hurt yourself further." I requested. "i don't even realize when i start doing it.." He murmured. "still, i'll try." I leaned in and smooched him and leaned into his ribcage. He wrapped his arms around me and licked my neck, causing me to shiver. "how's colgar?" I laughed lightly. "She's fine, Horror. You'll know when she's not, trust me." His phalanges hooked on my shirt. "i still wanna see my baby girl." He looked at me with that crimson eye of his, asking permission. I nodded, granting it, and off my shirt went. "it's only a thread, how can you already know it's a girl?" Horror asked bewilderedly. Every skeleton knew that gender was only found out by the 'mother' after the third week of pregnancy. I haven't even been pregnant for a week. "Call it Blue intuition." I replied, looking at the thread of magic hanging off my soul. A month from now, that thread would be a souling. How exciting!!!

I showed Horror how to use the internet, watching him get fascinated by the keyboard was funny, and all my books and figurines. He seemed curious about all of it. I supposed he would be since all he'd seen was wilderness his entire life. I gave him free roam of my room while I got our laundry. "Where's the wolf guy?" Alphys asked. "Oh, I didn't know you were here. I was just going to get his laundry from the dryer." I replied. "wait, wait, wait, he's naked?" Papyrus asked. "Has been this whole time, he only has the clothes on his back, Pap, why do you think he was in his wolf form?"
"Sans. I'm going to be honest. I don't trust that guy one bit. There's something weird about him." I frowned. "Give him a chance, Al. You haven't even tried to get to know him yet." I argued before leaving them to fetch his clothes. 'Why can't they just take me for my word? Horror's a good guy. He won't eat them, he gave me his word and I trust him... do they trust me..?'
