I Want To Help You (A Bill x Error 404 Story)

Chapter 5: More Emotions

I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.

"How are you not dead!?" Nightmare asked, shocked.

"I honestly have no idea," I said as shocked as he was.

404 just went back to calmly looking at the stars.

"Well then, make sure not to make 404 mad," I said making a mental note.

"Definitely," Nightmare agreed.

While 404 was distracted looking at the stars, I went over and whispered to Nightmare.

"Any ideas on how to make him jealous?" I whispered to him.

"Huh?" Nightmare said confused, "Why do we need to think of ideas for that. I mean, it isn't as important as the other emotions."

"Wouldn't you like to see how he acts when he gets jealous?" I questioned.

"To be honest, I kind of do," he admitted.

"Okay, so what are we going to do?"

Nightmare thought for a moment and then smiled. Honestly, it was more of a smirk than a smile. I was a little worried for what he was planning.

"So... any ideas?" I asked.

"Yep," he said with a smirk.

"What is it?"

Nightmare looked at me and said, "Just follow my lead and play along."

"Okay..." I said hesitantly.

"By the way, we are just friends," Nightmare said seriously.

I gave him a questioning look and walked to 404.

"Hey, 404! We wanted to tell you something we've been keeping a secret a while now," Nightmare said, gesturing to me.

"What is it?" 404 asked, curious.

I looked at Nightmare wondering where this was going. I could tell 404 was curious too. I mean, it's not every day your best friends tell you they have been keeping a secret from you.

"I'm dating Bill!" Nightmare said confidently.

It took everything in me to not burst out laughing.

404 eyes grew darker and he said, "How long?"

"About 4 months," I said.

I think I now understand how the term 'death glare' was created. I think 404 would have killed Nightmare if he stared at him any longer. All of a sudden, 404 teleported away.

"Wonder what that was about," I muttered.

"I think he hates me now," Nightmare stated matter-of-factly.

"I didn't expect him to get that jealous," I said confused, "Also, why does me dating you make him jealous?"

Nightmare just sighed. "Sometimes I wonder if you even have a brain."

"Hey! I do have a brain!" I protested.

"He obviously likes you, idiot."

Silence.

"He likes- Wait what!?" I said spinning to face Nightmare.

"I thought he couldn't feel strong emotions!" I said with a yellow blush dusting my cheeks.

"He can feel them. They are just very mild. I guess he can feel love more than the rest." Nightmare thought out loud.

"Oh."
