Deccy-Dec and Freshy-Fresh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fresh hugged Decans, sitting down on the couch. Decans was hugging Fresh, crying of sheer joy. After all this time, he finally found him. His best friend...

Dusk had ran to pick up Reaper and Geno so fast she didn't properly comprehend everything around her. "INK YOU'RE IN CHARGE!!!" she shouted, skidding out the door.

Fresh gently hugged Deccy, not letting him go. Error had come over to them, and so had everyone else. Seeing Fresh in total hysterical tears was a surprise to everyone.

"Fresh?" Error asked. "Is that-"

"Deccy..." Fresh hugged his best friend, who was quickly overwhelmed on how intently the group of skeletons were looking at him. He whined and burried his face in Fresh's clothing. Fresh immediately noticed Deccans' discomfort and went into full best-friend mode. "Don't stare!"

Everyone tried to look anywhere but Deccans. Fresh rubbed his friend's back, letting him curl up. "Get some sleep, Deccy-Dec, you need it bro..."

"I think our first task is to get Decans settled in," Ink said. Dream nodded. "Okay. Dream and Error, get Decans some food. Sans and Nightmare, get some medical supplies. Cross, get Decans anything he asks for. Blue, Fell, and I will help anyone who asks for it."

"Okay!" Cross nodded, turning to Fresh. Everyone else scurried over to do their task. "Do you need anything?" he asked.

"Deccy?" Fresh gently shook his friend. "He's asleep... It's okay. You can help the others."

Cross nodded and left. He went to Nightmare, of course.

Decans curled up in Fresh's grip, glad to be with his friend. Fresh stood up and took Deccy to his room, where he would be more comfortable.

Fresh set Deccy on his bed. He pulled his blanket over him, going a bit overboard on keeping him comfortable. He practically buried him in pillows, blankets, and stuffed animals. By then, he was beginning to wake up.

"H-huh...?" he murmured sleepily.

"Shhh, Deccy. Just get some sleep. If you need anything, tell me," Fresh murmured. Decans nodded sleepily.

"D-don't go..." he forced out. Fresh nodded and gently rubbed his friend's back.

"I'll stay..." Fresh said comfortingly, sitting beside him. Deccy rest his head on his friend's lap, drifting back into sleep.

~~~~~Somewhere Else~~~~~

Geno and Reaper clung to each other in their sleep, needing to know if the other was there. CQ was beside them, watching the two sleep.

Geno slowly began to wake up, shifting around in his sleep. His eye fluttered open. "M-mom..?" he asked, dazed. CQ froze up. "...momma....?"

"I'm so sorry...." CQ sighed, setting her hand on Geno's cheek. Geno remained unmoving, letting CQ gently rub his skull.

"I'm so sorry..." Geno's eye fluttered closed and the glitches around his melted eye showed. "I ran away...."

"No...no, it's okay..." CQ murmured. "I was shaken up and I sh-should have taken better care of you th-three...!!"

"What happened t-to Auntie Xed...??" Geno asked quietly. CQ glanced away and took in a deep breath.

"She's been distant..." she said. "I'm worried for her..."

"...can I s-see her again...?" Geno asked hopefully. CQ smiled softly and nodded. She took out her phone to call someone.

~~~~~Geno's P.O.V.~~~~~

Reaper hugged me in his sleep, waking up. I hugged him back as his eyes fluttered open. We hugged as CQ stepped out of the door to call Auntie Xed. "Are you feeling alright...?" Reaper asked.

"Mhmm...." I nodded, snuggling into his chest. "I'm gonna see Auntie..." I said, contented.

"Who's 'Auntie'?" Reaper asked curiously.

"Aunt Xed," I said. "She took care of me with momma."

"Oh," Reaper said, nuzzling the top of my skull. "Is that lady your mom? Your real mom?"

I nodded. Reaper nodded, letting me nuzzle into his chest. "Are you feeling okay?" I asked him. He nodded, hugging me. I hugged back.

Just then the door opened. Tired, I didn't open my eyes. Reaper whined as I was lifted up into a hug. I heard him whine and ask that I be set down. Soon, I was.

I heard a few voices talking. It was too muffled for me to hear what they were saying. Reaper kept petting the back of my skull soothingly, murmuring something.

~~~~~Decans' P.OV. + Somewhere Else...~~~~~

I woke up in Fresh's arms. I was so dazed, sore, and tired, that I thought I was hallucinating. I was so used to actually hallucinating that I thought he wasn't there.

"D-Deccy?" his voice asked. I slowly looked up at him, gazing into his eyes. I wasn't dreaming or hallucinating. I was being hugged by the real Fresh. I immediately hugged him and burst into tears, tightening my hug as much as I could before I hurt myself doing so. "D-Deccy?! I-is s-something wrong?! A-are you h-hurt?!" he asked worriedly, concern lacing his features.

"F-FRESH!!" I cried, sobbing. Fresh smiled softly and gently hugged me back. He hugged each other for a long time, enjoying each other's company.

"Deccy..." Fresh smiled softly, patting my skull. "Do you want anything?" he asked, gently sitting up and setting me in my lap.

"I'm kind of hungry..." I admitted. Fresh nodded and slid off of the bed. I held his hand, resting my head on his shoulder. He left the room, both arms around me.

Heads turned and several people stared at me. I whimpered, self-conscious, and looked away. Fresh hugged me. "...don't stare..." he said. "He's shy."

Mostly everyone glanced away. I recognized Error, who kept glancing at me. I saw Ink as well. Fresh took me to the kitchen and opened the door. My mouth watered heavily and my 'stomach' growled.

Fresh took some items and gave me a wide variety of foods. He said I needed sugar and other things because I was malnourished. Fresh helped me sit down and sat down beside me.

I tried not to eat too fast, but I was starving. Fresh smiled, helping me limit myself. I downed two bottles of water easily, then a cup of milk, and two boxes of juice. Over the course of about two hours, Fresh tried to boost my health to the best of his ability.

"Are your legs sore?" he asked. I gave a slight nod.

"After walking that much, I feel sore and better at the same time," I said. Fresh helped me to the couch so I could relax. It felt great to just cuddle with Fresh. Ink sat beside me and Error sat beside Ink.

After walking for so long, I basically had calves of steel. But at the same time, malnourishment made me weak. After the meal I was sleepy and full. Fresh cuddled with me, eyes closed. I loved being with him, but seeing real emotion in his eyes made my pupils turn blue with happiness.

"I missed you..." Fresh said quietly, hugging me.

"I missed you too!"
