Starcrossed
AN: The video at the topp is not completely relevant to this chapter, but it deserves more views, so watch it when you got the time.
When Error and Nightmare, with Incubux in tow, entered Underswap they expected to run in some kind of trubble. Afterall, Strech was not a fan of either of them.
Luckely for both of them it seemed Strech was not in Underswap at the moment. And they managed to get to Blueberry's house without any problems. Though they did get a chock when they knocked on the door and the one opening it was neither Blueberry or Stretch.
The one opening the door was only a kid.
The kid had red-tinted ecto-hair and purple zigzag like marks on his cheeks similar to Cross'. She, at least that's the gender the kid's magic indicated, looked like she was five years old and wore a light green unicorn onesie.
"Who are you?"
The kids tone was curious and not even a little bit scared.
Error was the first to recover, he had more experience with the unexpected then Nightmare.
"HeY kId, IS Blueberry iN?"
The little girl did not get the chance to answer as a very familiar voice was heard from behind her.
"Starcrossed, who is at the door?"
The girl, Starcrossed Error presumed, turned her head to the yet unseen speaker.
"Don't know."
Her tone was so direct it even made the kid in Nightmare's arms stare at her. A sigh was heard from inside in response.
"How many times have I told you not to open the door if you don't recognize who it is from the window?"
The girl only shrugs.
"But uncle Blue, the have a kid like me with them."
As if to make it more clear she pointed at Incubux, she stared at him as if she had never seen another kid before.
Blueberry showed up behind her and smiled as he recognized the two, and when his eyes reached Incubux in Nightmare's arms his eyes changed into stars.
"ERROR! YOU AND NIGHTMARE GOT A KID TOGETHER? I KNEW YOU TWO WOULD MAKE A GREAT COUPLE!"
Error's none existent ears rang from Blueberry's volume.
"It's not my kid, don't go around assuming things Blue."
The destroyer seemed unperturbed by his Blue's reaction, his friend had tried to set him up on dates before so hi trying to pair him up with Nightmare didn't bother him much.
Nightmare, on the other hand, had blushed bright blue when Blueberry mentioned that he and Error as a couple. The king of negativity fought away the blush, dearly hoping it had not clued anyone in on his feelings for the destroyer. His true feelings where something he rather kept to himself.
Luckily for Nightmare, both Error and Blueberry didn't notice, not that it would matter for the later as he would still ship the two.
Unluckily, Incubux and Starcrossed did notice. Even is only Starcrossed understod why. The small skeleton girl decided to file it away for later however, as she had something more important on her mind.
"Uncle Blue, can I play with him? Can I, please?"
Her tone was pleading. Blue looked from her to Incubux before sending Nightmare a look, as if to ask permission to borrow the boy.
Nightmare only smiled amused and put the boy down, shooing him inside. It would seem the boy got shy around other kids, not that it mattered much as Starcrossed quickly grabbed his hand and dragged him to a corned of the living room filled with toys.
Blueberry let the other two enter and closed the door after them.
"So, if the kid is not yours Error, who's is it?"
Blueberry raised an eyebrow, or the skeleton equivalent.
"NiGHTmaRe's and CrOSs'."
Error flopped down on the couch, watching the kids play with lego in the corner. 'Why was there so many kids? Had the multiverse decided that a baby boom was necessary?'
"Cross'?"
Blueberry's tone held disbelief, he turned his attention to Nightmare studying him.
"No offense, but I really doubt you and Cross are together. Did you have a one-night stand while drunk?"
Nightmare growled at the suggestion. He did not drink if he could help it, he had never been drunk in his life. Neither had he ever had a one-night stand or any kind of physical relationship either.
"We did not. The kid showed up from the leftovers' of our magic attacks after we had a fight."
Blueberry's face turned puzzeled.
"How is that possible?"
It was a good question, Error only snorted in response.
"HoW iS iNk pregnant whThoUt A sOUl? HoW Is ReAPer aBLe tO Get SomEOne pregnant when He iS DeAth itself?"
Now, both Blue and Nightmare stared at him.
"wHat?"
"Reaper got someone pregnant?"
From Nightmares tone it was obvious that ha had a hard time believing it. Meanwhile, Blueberry seemed to be in deep thought.
"YeAH, He gOt mY bROTher pregnant."
"Fresh?"
Nightmare could not picture the parasite ever being pregnant.
Error shakes his head.
"No, mY oThER BrOTHer. FouND oUT aBOuT hIM recently?"
"Who?"
Nightmare could not help wondering if it was someone he knew. At the same time, Blue had snapped out of his thought.
"It's Geno isn't it?"
Blue sounded certain that he was right.
"YeAH, HOw Do yOU KnoW?"
"Reaper was hate-flirting with him at the Christmas party Geno hosted, it had to be him."
The room went quiet after that, the only sound to be heard being the chatter from the two kids playing.
Error watched them, eventually deciding to confim his suspicions of the girls parents.
"StARcRoSSeD, hEr pAReNts aRE cRosS and LusT RiGHt?"
Blueberry nods.
"Cross pays me to take care of her since his AU is a white void and Nightmare's mansion is not really child friendly with Horror, Dust and Killer around."
He sends Nightmare a look, wondering if Nightmare would make his home more child friendly for Incubux. Don't get him wrong, he liked taking care of Starcrossed, but she deserved to live with her father full-time. Not only spending time with him whenever he had enough free-time to visit.
"And you know better then anyone why Lust isn't around anymore."
The look Blueberry gave Error was ice-cold, it was the closest thing to hostile he would ever be towards his glitchy friend. He had seen what losing Lust had done to Cross, and he could not help resenting Error for it. Deep down he knew it was necessary for Error to destroy AU's, but he still did not understand why Underlust had to be destroyed and Error himself was rather tightlipped about it. Usually, Error only destroyed copies, so why had he destroyed the original Underlust? Blue suspected it was because someone in the AU had triggered Error's haphephobia, even if it had lessend in resent years it was pretty bad back then.
Maybe Error had gone into a panicked rage and destroyed Underlust as a consequence. Blue had asked Ink about it too, since he had been there trying to stop it, but even the creator was tightlipped about it.
Maybe he would find out someday.
Blueberry relaxed and left for the kitchen, it was soon time for dinner and it would appear he would have more mouths to feed then usually.
Meanwhile, Nightmare sent Error an understanding look. The king of negativity being the only one Error had told about what really happened to Lust and his AU.
Nightmare resisted placing a hand on Error's shoulder and merely sat down beside him. Hopefully having someone that knew the truth around would lessen Error's guilt at Blueberry's slightly accusing comment.
AN: I just realized how much the plot of this story evolved since I started writing it. I originally did not plan for Incubux, Starcrossed, Cross or even Blueberry to be such a big part of the story as they are currently. Speaking of Starcrossed, I held a poll on amino to decide on the name. Starrcrossed won with over 60% the runner up being Promise with 27%. I'm still working on her, so she will probably play a part further down the line.
