Before some of y'all start sayin something because of the title, no. Fresh does not like Error like a lover. He sees Error as more of his child or little brother and keeps him close because Error makes him happy.

-OneShot Start-

Error sniffled and curled up on the ground, hugging his knees to his chest. It was about eleven at night, it was raining and Error was out on in an alleyway all by himself. He was freezing and on top of that he had already caught a cold. He was five and had been abandoned by his family about a week ago. Since then, he had to fend for himself. He hadn't eaten in quite a few days and he didn't like being by himself. Things had been hard for him.

Error wiped at his tears and pulled his torn up hoodie over his head, curling up more and staring at the walls of the alleyway. He perked up when he suddenly heard footsteps coming closer. Whenever he got the chance, he would ask people for money and food. So far, no one he asked ever helped him out. He ran out of the alleyway, stopping and taking a step back when he saw who was there. He didn't know who it was, but he was scared because of their appearance. They were tall, had one blue eye, and were covered in goop from head to toe. They also had four tentacles coming out of their back and were holding an umbrella.

Nightmare spotted Error and looked over at him. "Ah, it's a kid. What are you doing out here?" He asked, taking a step towards Error.

Error whimpered and took a step back away from Nightmare, not answering.

Nightmare paused where he was and stared at Error for a moment. "Oh, I see." Nightmare put his hands and tentacles up in the air. "I won't hurt you. I promise."

Error stared at Nightmare for a moment, thinking about if he should talk to Nightmare. He knew he shouldn't talk to shady people but he promised not to hurt him which meant he was good! Error's logic was horrible, but that was expected since he was a five year old.

He walked up to Nightmare and stopped in front of him. "U-uHm... i-I'M hUngRY a-anD cOlD sO cOuLd yOu m-MayBe BriNg mE sOme fOod AnD a bLankEt?"

Nightmare raised a brow and put his hands and tentacles down. "Are you all alone out here? Where are your parents?"

Error sniffled and looked down. "I-i'M bY mYsElF... m-My pAreNts DiDn'T wANT mE anYmoRe sO thEy KiCkEd mE oUt oF tHe hOuse..."

Nightmare nodded and picked Error up with one of his tentacles, making the smaller glitch slightly. "Do you want to come and live with me then?"

Error looked up at Nightmare. "R-rEallY?!" He asked, his eye lights filled with hope.

Nightmare nodded and patted Error on the head. "Yeah. You'll have a better life with me. What's your name, kid?"

Error bounced up and down. "My nAmE iS eRrOr! WhAt's yOur nAmE, mIster?"

"My name is Nightmare," He replied, carrying Error back to his mansion, setting him down on the ground once they were there.

Error looked up at the mansion and gasped. "I-It'S sO biG!" He ran up to the door, tugging at it.

Nightmare unlocked the door and Error ran inside once the door opened. Nightmare quickly ran after Error and grabbed him with a tentacle, holding him up in the air. "Wait! You can't go running around here like that! I have other people living here as well! You can look around all you want tomorrow! Right now you need a change of clothes and some hot coco to warm you up."

Error whined and went limp in the tentacle. "FIiiNEeeE!"

Nightmare let out a sigh of relief and then carried Error to the bathroom. He shut and locked the door, tugging Error's clothes off. He turned on the water in the tub, making sure it was warm before he set the smaller in the water.

Error splashed around in the water. "ThErE aRe nO buBblEs!" He huffed, pouting.

Nightmare rolled his eye and poured some body wash on a luffa, starting to wash Error. "I'll get some bubble bath soap tomorrow so your bath will be bubbly from now on."

Error nodded and stayed still as he was being washed, rinsing the soap off of his body after a moment. He got out of the tub and Nightmare wrapped a towel around his body.

Nightmare picked Error up and drained the tub, carrying Error to the guest room, which would become his permanent room. He set Error on the bed. "Stay here and don't move."

Error nodded and sat still as Nightmare left the room, waiting for him to come back.

A moment later, Nightmare came back with some pajamas for Error. They were his pajamas that he used to would wear back when he wasn't corrupted. He put them on Error and looked at him for a moment. "Mm, they're a little too big but I'll work for now. Tomorrow, I'll get you some proper clothes."

Error nodded and sneezed. "okAY!" He laid back in the bed.

Nightmare rubbed Error's head with a tentacle then left the room again. He came back five minutes later with some hot coco and medicine for Error.

He sat down on the bed and gave the medicine to Error. "Take this for your cold. It'll taste disgusting, but you can wash it down with the hot coco. It should be cooled down enough," He told the smaller, handing him the medicine and cup of hot coco.

Error nodded. He took a deep breath and then quickly drank down the medicine. He blinked. It was grape flavor and he didn't think it tasted bad at all (But seriously I know a lot of people that don't like grape flavored liquid medicine and I'm just like- It tastes good- Is that just me that thinks that?). "HeY! It TaStEs Good!" Error chirped, starting to drink the hot coco.

Nightmare took the medicine back with a tentacle. "I can't believe you liked that."

Error finished drinking the cup of hot coco and burped, rubbing his stomach. He felt much better and he wasn't cold anymore. He yawned and laid down in the bed.

Nightmare pulled the covers over Error and tucked him into the bed, taking the empty cup as well. "Goodnight."

Error yawned again. "GOoDnIght..." He murmured back before his eyes shut and fell asleep.

Nightmare turned off the light and left the room, quietly shutting the door. He put the medicine away and set the cup in the sink.

After that, he went to talk to everyone in his gang. He had to let them know about Error. He couldn't have them attacking and trying to kill him. That would be bad.

—-—————-

Error woke up late the next day. It was understandable though. He never got much sleep since he was normally sleeping outside and in the cold. He blinked his eyes open and rolled off of the bed, running out of his room. "NiGhtMare! whEre aRe yOu?" He called out with a whine. He was hungry and didn't know his way around the huge place.

Nightmare came to Error and picked him up with a tentacle. "I'm right here."

Error smiled and held onto Nightmare. "I'm hUngRy!"

Nightmare nodded and carried Error to the kitchen. He made him breakfast and once he was done eating he gave Error a tour of the whole mansion. He knew Error wouldn't be able to remember the whole layout of the place so he put up signs everywhere to guide him just in case he did end up getting lost. After the tour, he let Error meet his gang, who had all of their weapons put away and made themselves look as friendly as possible.

Error had fun with doing all of those things with Nightmare but he wanted to go and play. It had been a while since he was at a park and met kids his age. He tugged on Nightmare's shirt. "I wAnnA gO tO tHe pArk! I wAnna gO!"

Nightmare nodded. "I'll have Cross take you. I need to go to the store," He said, handing Error to Cross.

Error nodded and held onto Cross once he was in his arms. He looked at Cross. "OkAy! LEt's gO!"

Nightmare looked at Cross. "Make sure he isn't hurt or anything."

Cross nodded. "Okay, Senpai!" With that, he ran out of the mansion with Error and to the park. He set the smaller down on the ground and sat down on the bench. "You can go and play! I'll be sitting here if you need me!"

Error nodded and giggled before he ran off to play with all of the other kids. He played with all of the kids for a while but stopped when he noticed someone.

There was a person sitting on a bench that was just in front of a tree. They were wearing all rainbow attire and he thought that someone wearing so many bright colors would be happy but it looked like they weren't. He stared at the person for a moment before he ran up to him. "HeY yOu! WhY arE yoU wearIng alL oF thOse BrighT, hapPY colOrs wHile LookIng sO SAd?" He asked, plopping down on the bench beside Fresh.

Fresh, who had just been staring down at the ground with a dull look in his eyes, snapped his gaze over to Error. He stared at Error and didn't say a word. The dull look in his eyes slowly faded away, a smile made its way onto his face, and he felt a warm inside all of a sudden.

His whole life he had always been sad and depressed. He didn't know why but he had been like that ever since he was a child. His parents tried everything, but nothing they did worked. He was never happy and never showed any sign of being happy either so he didn't understand why he felt happy now when he never felt happy as a kid. What he did know was, the one making him feel happy was Error. Now that he got a taste of what it felt like to be happy, he didn't want to go back to being sad and depressed anymore. In order to do that, he needed Error but he couldn't get him immediately. He probably had a family and all. He would have to plan this carefully.

Error raised a brow and poked Fresh on the cheek, waving his hand in front of his face. "HEllO? MiStEr? arE yoU okAy?"

Fresh snapped out of his thoughts and let out a small breath. "Y-Yeah... Yeah! I'm okay! I'm okay!" He quickly answered, smiling.

Error tilted his head to the side. "ArE yoU goIng tO ansWeR mY qUestiOn noW?"

Fresh raised a brow. "Your question...? Oh, right, right...! Well, you see, I don't have any friends," He laughed, scratching the back of his neck, hoping Error would fall for the lie he just made up on the spot.

Error being the innocent child that couldn't yet tell when someone was lying to him, believed Fresh. "Oh, rEallY? yoU dOn'T hAvE tO bE saD anYmOre! i'Ll bE yOur frIend frOm nOw oN! mY nAME iS eRroR, bY tHe waY!" He chirped, hugging Fresh.

Fresh slowly hugged Error back, feeling his soul start to thump in his chest (I know Fresh has 'his' soul in his eye sockets but putting 'He felt his soul thump in his eye socket is weird. I'm not writing that-). He rested his head on Error's skull and let out a small breath. "Thank you. That makes me very happy. My name is Fresh."

Error smiled and pulled away from Fresh after a moment. "wE cAn hANg oUt agaIn anOther tImE! i'M gOInG tO gO bacK and PlAy nOw!" He waved at Fresh then hopped up and ran back down to the other kids, continuing to play with them.

Fresh watched as Error ran back down to play, keeping his eye on him specifically. His eye lights slowly dulled, his smile reverted back to a frown, and the warmth that he had felt in his soul slowly disappeared. He blinked and touched at his face for a moment. He no longer felt happy. Why? He had just been happy a moment ago. He looked back over to Error. He knew it was because Error had gone away, but he thought his happiness would have lasted a bit longer.

Fresh put his hands down and sighed, leaning back against the bench and went back to watching Error. He watched Error the whole time he was at the park, perking up when Error ran back to a monochrome skeleton. He assumed the skeleton was Error's current guardian since they didn't seem to be related. He watched as the skeleton picked up Error and set him on his shoulders before he started to walk off, probably back to their home.

Fresh stood up and started follow after them. He didn't know where Error lived and he couldn't just straight out ask him. He probably didn't even know. Since he was dressed in bright colors and could be easily spotted, Fresh always waited until they got a good distance away, or until they went around a corner before he walked after them.

After a good ten minutes, Error and the monochrome skeleton had finally stopped walking. He watched as they went inside a huge mansion.

Fresh stayed in the darkness and looked up at the mansion. "So this is the place..." He murmured to himself. He pulled out a notepad and a pencil from the inside of his jacket and wrote down the location of the place. It was hidden so Fresh made sure to give himself directions on how to find it again. He put his notepad away once he was done with that and looked back to the mansion.

Fresh needed to sneak inside but that would be hard when he was so big. He would slink around in his real form and follow Cross and Error. He crawled out of his host body, though the eye socket and crawled to the door. He slipped under the crack in the door and looked around. Since the mansion was so big, he knew others would live there too. Sure enough, he saw four other skeletons around Error and the monochrome skeleton.

Fresh looked at them for a moment before he darted down a hallway. He went around the whole mansion, slipping into rooms and looking around there and what not. He got a layout of the whole place in a couple of minutes. He would write that down once he got back to his host body.

Fresh went back to where he was before and hid back by the door. He took note of all of the skeleton's appearances. He lurked in the darkness, listened and watched their conversation. Thanks to doing that, he found out each of the skeleton's names. Once the parasite got all of the information he needed, he slipped back out of the mansion and back to his body. He crawled back inside of the unconscious skeleton laying on the ground and took control again. He quickly grabbed his notepad and wrote down all of the information he had just gathered then stood up. He looked at the mansion. He wanted to spend more time with Error today but he doubted the small skeleton would be going out anymore today since it was getting late. That was okay, though. He would come back in the middle of the night and sneak him out.

Fresh nodded to himself, glancing at the mansion one more time before he walked off. He would make sure he saw Error as much as he could.

—————————-

Error shifted in his sleep, rolling over. He slowly blinked open his eye sockets when he heard a strange sound at his window. He slipped out of bed and rubbed at his eye sockets sleepily, walking over to the window. He looked out of it and saw Fresh on the ledge just outside of his window. He opened the window and Fresh stepped inside.

"WHat arE yoU doIng hEre frEsH...?" Error murmured out, yawning.

Fresh picked the smaller up when he saw him, holding him. A smile appeared on his face and the warm feeling in his soul came back. He felt so happy and alive around Error. Fresh rubbed Error's skull. "Well, I wanted to hang out with ya."

Error leaned on Fresh and nuzzled into the crook of his neck, making Fresh's smile widen. "MmM... oKay..." He murmured.

Fresh nodded and hopped out of the window with Error. He landed on the ground safely with Error and quickly ran away from the mansion.

Fresh took Error to a flower field and set him down there. Error was still tired but he snapped his eyes open and perked up so he could talk to Fresh.

Fresh looked down at Error and picked some flowers, starting to make a flower crown for him. "We didn't get to talk much at the park so let's talk now!"

Error nodded and rolled around in the flowers, giggling. "AbOut whAt?" He asked, playing with the flowers.

Fresh shrugged. "Well, just tell me about your family and stuff. Ya know, where you live and all of that... about who you live with... I'm curious."

Error nodded and sat himself up. "WeLl niGhtmarE leT me liVe wiTh hIm! hE fOund Me YesterDaY wHen..." Error went on to explain everything that happened yesterday and today, telling everything that happened in that time span to Fresh.

Fresh listened to Error as he made the flower crown. Once Error finished speaking, he told Error a little bit about himself in return. Of course, he lied about parts of his story to Error when it was necessary. They spoke for about an hour or so before Fresh picked Error up. "Alright, I think it's time we take you back," He said, setting the flower crown he had made on Error's head.

Error nodded and let Fresh carry him back to the mansion and back to his room. He laid down his bed when they got back and snuggled into the covers.

Fresh looked at Error. "Don't tell Nightmare or anyone else that lives here about me coming over or about me at all, okay? This our secret." He couldn't have Error telling Nightmare. He had met Nightmare before and their first encounter didn't go well. Somehow, Nightmare could tell Fresh was a parasite and he didn't seem to like that at all because he knew at any moment Fresh could try to take body. Nightmare wasn't having any of that at all.

Error didn't understand why Fresh wanted to be kept a secret but he nodded and murmured out a glitched 'Okay'.

Fresh smiled. "Good. I'll see you tomorrow! See ya!" He whispered, kissing Error on the forehead before he left.

Error smiled at the kiss, loving any sort of affection, and slowly let his eyes shut as he fell asleep.

—————————

It had been about two months since Error and Fresh first met. Everything had been going well so far and no one had found out that Error had been hanging out with Fresh yet.

Well, whenever Cross took Error to the park, he noticed that Error had been talking to Fresh but he thought nothing of it. He didn't know who Fresh was but he seemed like an okay guy. Even so, he made sure he kept a close watch on him when he was with Error. Fresh hadn't done anything to hurt Error so he saw no reason to bring up Error hanging out with Fresh to Nightmare.

Even though nothing had really been found out yet, Nightmare had started to notice one thing about Error. Since Error always went out in the middle of the night with Fresh for an hour or a couple of hours he always slept in and woke up later. If Error was woken up at a normal time he would be extremely tired.

Nightmare had taken note of that and he had gotten worried. He figured that Error wasn't having a great time sleeping or something but if Error was he hadn't brought it to his attention. Today he decided he would watch over Error while he slept.

Once night time rolled around and Error had fallen asleep, Nightmare slipped into the room and sat down on the floor by the door. He completely blended in with the darkness. For the first hour or so he saw nothing wrong with Error, he was sleeping fine.

Nightmare was thinking about going back to his room but he didn't. He needed to watch Error the whole night to make sure he really was sleeping well. About a thirty minutes rolled around, when he heard tapping at the window. He raised a brow but kept silent and stayed where he was. He watched as Error woke up and hopped out of the bed. He saw the smaller skeleton go over to the window and let someone in, hugging them.

Nightmare instantly recognized who it was. The only person who he met that ever wore bright rainbow colors was that damned parasite.

The goopy skeleton pulled himself off of the ground and walked over to Fresh, grabbing him by the neck with a tentacle. "You."

Fresh jumped when he get the slimy appendage around his neck and nearly dropped Error. "Shiz," He muttered under his breath.

Nightmare wrapped a tentacle around Error's waist and pulled the smaller away from the parasite. He looked back at Fresh, tightening the tentacle around his neck. "Why are you in my mansion? I thought I told you to stay away from me. That meant anyone else close to me as well," He hissed out. He covered Fresh's eyes and mouth with his other two tentacles. He didn't want him trying to leave his host body.

Fresh couldn't answer the question for obvious reasons. He just flailed in Nightmare's grip who just tightened the tentacle even more.

Error hopped out of Nightmare's tentacle and pulled at the taller's leg. "No! StOp! SToP! H-he'S mY fRiEnd! D-don'T hurT hIM!" Error shouted, small tears pooling up in his eye sockets.

Nightmare glanced down at the smaller skeleton and sighed. He pulled his tentacles back and let Fresh drop to the ground, who coughed and rubbed at his throat.

Error ran over to Fresh and hugged him tightly, looking up at him. "A-aRe yOu oKay?" He asked, sniffling.

Fresh didn't get a chance to answer since Nightmare cut him off. He tugged Error away from him and held him in the air. "You stay away from him you parasite," He said, hissing out the word 'parasite' with disgust. Nightmare looked at Error. "Don't ever meet up with him again, you hear me?"

Error wiped at his face. "b-bUt-"

Nightmare cut Error off. "No buts. Do you understand me?" Nightmare asked sternly.

Error flinched and sniffled. He nodded and looked down at the floor, tears running down his face. He made Nightmare mad at him for the first time and he was losing a friend as well. He didn't want Nightmare to be mad at him and he didn't want to lose a friend either but there was nothing he could do.

Nightmare glared at Fresh, his tentacles twitching in agitation. "Get out. Now."

Fresh glared back at Nightmare and got up. He glanced at Error for a moment, who was still crying, before he looked back to Nightmare. He 'tch'ed and then hopped out of the window.

Nightmare shut the window and locked it. He laid Error back down in his bed, ignoring his crying. He was way to pissed off to care about that right now. "You go back to sleep."

Error gave a small nod and shifted under the covers, pulling them over his head.

Nightmare sat back in his spot by the door and stayed there, watching Error for the rest of the night to make sure Fresh didn't show up again. Luckily for him, Fresh stayed away for the rest of the night.

———————

The next few days Nightmare and the other members of his gang kept a close eye on Error. He was being watched all day, every day. There wasn't a single moment he wasn't being watched. They had to make sure that he had no contact with Fresh whatsoever.

This obviously didn't sit well with Fresh. He was okay with only seeing Error for a couple of hours a day even if it meant he had to be unhappy when he wasn't with Error but this. This was too much. He wasn't able to see Error at all. It was like he was back to being his old, constantly unhappy self. Error was his only source of happiness and now Nightmare has taken it away from him. He didn't like that. Not one bit.

Fresh needed to get Error back and away from Nightmare. Error would be happier with him anyway. Nightmare made Error cry. He would never forgive him for that. He messed a way to get Error away from them permanently but how would he do that? They were watching him all of the time nonstop. He could tell Error didn't like being watched constantly. The smaller skeleton, always looked so uncomfortable now. Anyone would feel like that if they were being watched constantly.

Fresh needed an opening. Any opening, or maybe just a time when Error wasn't being watched so much... At night. That's when he could make his move. At night, Nightmare was the only one watching Error since he didn't need sleep for a reason unknown to Fresh.

Fresh grinned to himself as he got an idea and stood up. He went down to his basement and grabbed an axe. He tossed it up in the air a few times. "I'm come and save you from then, Error."

————————

After what seemed like forever to Fresh, nighttime had finally fallen. He stepped out from behind a tree. He was wearing dark clothes to blend in instead of bright rainbow colors that would easily be spotted. He walked up to the door of the mansion and work on picking the lock on the door.

After a few tries, Fresh got the door open and grinned. He pushed open the door and walked inside, humming to himself quietly. He would take out Nightmare's gang as silently as possible and as quickly as possible.

First, he went after Horror. He made his way to the monster-eating skeleton's room and pushed the door open. He looked at the sleeping skeleton and then chopped his head off with one clean swipe. Easy. He went around to Dust and Killer's, room after that and did the same thing. He wanted to torture them but he couldn't do that. It would be too risky to try to knock them out and bring them to his house so this was the quick and easy method even if it was boring.

Fresh left Cross alive for now. He needed his body to trick Nightmare. He went to Cross' room and looked at the sleeping monochrome skeleton. He crawled out of his current host body and shot into Cross' eye socket. He quickly took control of Cross' body. He looked exactly like Cross. The only thing wrong with him was his eyes. That was the dead giveaway. That wouldn't be much of a problem, though.

Fresh hummed and went to Error's room. He stayed outside of the door and knocked on the door three times before he looked down at the floor and waited for the door to open.

Nightmare raised a brow and stood up. He opened the door and looked down at Cross when he saw him. "Cross? What's wrong?" He asked, concerned that something would be wrong with the monochrome skeleton. He did love Cross even though he always acted like he was annoyed with him.

'"Cross" sniffled and buried his face in Nightmare's chest and just hugged him tightly.

Nightmare started to rub "Cross'" back. "Hey... What's wrong, Cross? If you need to talk I'll listen," He told the smaller in a soft voice.

"Cross" just gave a small nod in response. He smirked into Nightmare's chest and summoned his large knife. He quickly pushed Nightmare away then swung the blade at his neck, cutting the goopy skeleton's head off quickly.

Fresh let out a sigh of relief and de-summoned the knife. "Easy as pie. Time to get rid of Cross now."

The parasite went back to Cross' room and laid down in the bed. He crawled out of Cross' body and back into his other host body, which was laying limp on the ground. Eh took control of that body again and picked up the axe he head left on the ground. He chopped Cross' head off and whistled. He cleaned up the dust from everyone's room and Nightmare's dust from the hallway. He got rid of the axe and finally went to Error's room.

Fresh stood by Error's bed and smiled at seeing the sleeping skeleton. He kissed Error on the forehead. "You'll be with me tomorrow," He whispered, going over to the window, unlocking it and opening it before he hopped out of it. He shut the window and left it unlocked, glancing at Error one more time before he left.

———————

The next day, Error actually woke up early. Since he wasn't able to go out with Fresh in the middle of the night he started to wake up early. He hopped out of the bed and went to the kitchen, looking around. He was confused when he didn't see Nightmare making breakfast for him like he usually was. Maybe he was still asleep or something.

Error ran to Nightmare's room and knocked on the door. He waited for the door to open or for a reply, getting worried when the door stayed shut and there was no rely. He opened the door and went inside, looking around. "NoT hErE..."

Error ran to Cross' room and did the same thing he did at Nightmare's door, going in when the door didn't open and he didn't get a reply. When he didn't find Cross, he went around to Dust, Horror, and Killer's room, repeating the process. He really hoped he would find at least one off them in their room but when he didn't he started to tear up.

Error ran back to the living room. "N-niGhTmaRe?! crOss?! dusT?! HOrrOR?! KillEr?! whErE aRe yoU guYs?!" He called out. After a few minutes when he got now answer, Error sank down to the floor and started to cry. He didn't know where anyone was and he was all alone now. He didn't like was. He was always scared by himself.

Error pulled himself off of the ground after a moment and made his way to his room, still crying. He only had a little bit of hope left. That Hope was that Fresh would show up when he called for him. He knew he hadn't seen him in a while but when they did talk Fresh looked like he was having fun with him so maybe he would come. He hoped he did.

Error opened up his window and liked around for a moment before he started to call out for Fresh. After a minute or so when he didn't get an answer, he laid down in his bed and sobbed into his pillow, assuming that Fresh wasn't going to come. He hugged his pillow tightly, jumping when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Hey, Hey, no need to cry. I heard you call for me. What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Fresh asked, sitting down on the bed beside Error.

Error sat up and hugged Fresh tightly when he saw him. He buried his face in the taller's chest. He started to tell Fresh what was wrong as best he could.

Since Error was crying so much, his words came out of sputter and Fresh couldn't understand any of it but since he was the one who set everything up and already knew what happened, he nodded. "Oh... I see... so you know where they might have went...?" Fresh asked, starting to stroke Error's skull to calm him down.

Error sniffled and wiped at his tears, shaking his head instead of talking. He felt like he would cry more if he started to talk.

Fresh nodded. "Do you think they... abandoned you...?" He asked after a moment. He knew it was a sensitive topic for Error.

Error tensed up at what Fresh said and started to cry more before he gave a slow nod, keeping his face in the taller's chest.

Fresh nodded and held Error close, rubbing his back. "How about you come and live with me?"

Error sniffled and looked up at Fresh. "H-HoW dO I kNow yOu'Re nOt gOInG tO abAndOn mE nExT... f-fIrst I-it wAs mY pAreNts... tHen niGhtmAre anD hiS fRiendS... yoU'Ll lEAvE mE tOo..." He didn't want to be taken in if he was just going to be abandoned soon after.

Fresh shook his head. He cupped Error's cheeks and wiped his tears away. "I promise I won't leave you. Did Nightmare promise not to leave you."

Error nuzzled into Fresh's hand and shook his head. "N-nO..."

"Exactly. C'mon let's go." Fresh smiled and picked Error up.

Error nodded and held onto Fresh. He let Fresh carry him all the way back to his house, looking around once they were there before he looked at Fresh. "I-I wAnnA tAkE a Nap..."

Fresh nodded and Error to his room. "This can be your room for now on. I'll go and get you stuff from Nightmare's mansion later."

Error nodded and laid down in the bed. He looked at Fresh and made grabby hands at him.

Fresh smiled and already knew what Error wanted. He laid down beside the smaller and hugged him close to his chest, pulling the covers over them.

Error smiled slightly and nuzzled Fresh before he shut his eyes. "doN'T aBanDon Me... yOu PromiSed Me..." He murmured out before he fell asleep.

Fresh kissed Error on the skull as the smaller fell asleep and nodded. "I won't ever abandon you, Error. I'll take care of you forever.
