Reborn as Error

Soon enough I've had my fill of entertainment from others misfortune. Sounds messed up when I put it like that but I was no saint. I stepped away from the group and stretched a bit to loosen from standing in place for too long.

"Alright. I'm gonna go save Fresh." I walked over to the mess, adjusting my striped coat as I did. Fresh was currently clinging onto a tree trying to avoid Lust's grasp at all costs. I strided over through the snow and placed a hand on Lust, who was still stringing out creative censored curses.

"Alright Lust. I think he's had enough for now."

"He has not- oh my god Error you're wearing one of my outfits!" Lust was quick to shift his tone when he saw me and my clothes. I gave a slight smile as he put the tool he had away.

"Yeah, kinda had no choice. I like what you make for me don't get me wrong, but I was attached to the other outfit and have no idea where that went after I was changed into... whatever that was. So I'm wearing something else you made me." I watched as Lust moved around me looking at the outfit he had already seen me in.

"Hmm, I was thinking blue stripes instead of golden yellow but I'm glad I stuck with that instead. You look great, as always, no need to tell you what you already know."

"A sweet talker as always," I said with a slight huff.

"Excuse me, I speak truth."

"Can I come down yet?!" We both looked up seeing Fresh looking down at us. A pacified Lust gave a dismissive wave.

"You can do what you want dear, I'm done dealing with you."

"That's rad... I think?" Fresh said before hopping down and fixing up his clothes. Lust just rolled his eyelights before looking at me.

"Anyways, your previous outfit, I can make you a new one. You sure you don't want something different? You know me and my brother can."

"I know, but I want my cropped top, cargo pants, jacket, and boots back please. You know I won't reject anything else you wish to do right?"

"I know but you're one of my models and I aim to please. I don't get to work with such colors that often." Even though red, blue, and yellow were primary colors I understood what he meant. I had all three and black on top of that. Not a lot looked good against that.

"Models? You model bruh?"

"Not that kind of model Fresh, don't go getting ideas," I said pointedly to Fresh before returning my attention to Lust, "But, since you are offering, only if you want to. I wouldn't mind more casual clothing. What I have now is nice but it's not something I can see myself wearing everyday. I'd feel terrible if I damaged it."

"Consider it done. Was there any other reason for the visit deary?" He asked and I shrugged.

"Umm... no. I just wanted to see Fresh suffer."

"Wha- hey! Brah! Mean!"

"Oh relax, over dramatic baby." I muttered that last part but he still heard me.

"He was on my tailbone with scissors! I have rights to be over the top!"

"Besides, I didn't come alone. We all wanted to see." I gestured behind me and Lust looked around me recognizing each skeleton that was at the treeline.

"Wow, there's a whole party going on here. Hello again." He waved with a flirty smile. Cross was blank and waved back. Reaper had his usual lazy grin and barely waved with two fingers. Fatal looked unsure but noted everyone else's reactions and just gave a slight wave.

I heard Lust chuckle. "We'll get there Fatal don't you worry about it. It's cute he's still getting used to stuff."

"Well it not the easiest for others to get used to you of all beings ya'know?"

"Oh I know that, makes it more interesting when they do relax. Like you." I felt him poke my cheek. I gave him a side glance.

"I would threaten to bite your finger off but you'd just enjoy it." I said and he made an amused noise confirming my little theory.

"Oh please, you wouldn't." He pulled away and looked at the rest. "Well is was nice seeing you all, some more than others. Hope to see y'all again but I should head off before my brother looks for me. I've been chasing the colorful menace for awhile."

"Hey! Only Error gets to call me that brah."

"I don't think you should be claiming insults, Fresh." I pointed out once it registered what he said.

"Who ever said it was an insult?" I saw his grin turn more like a smirk. He knew what I knew and I just shrugged.

"Whatever makes you happy, I don't care." I looked away from Fresh not wanting to entertain him after making him face Lust on his own. Said purple wearing skeleton just waved and walked away to find his brother.

"Well, as nice as this break was, I do need to head back as well." The death god said in his usual tone.

"What? You busy?" I asked while raising a bone brow.

"I'll say yes. Up to you if I'm telling the truth or not. I do enjoy the visits though. I'll be looking forward to the next one."

"Whatever, my social battery is slowly tapping out anyways," I said before snapping my fingers and opening a portal back to his au. He gave a bow before leaving with a wink making me shake my head. He has too much fun knowing we can't touch him that easily.

"Well... since that's done I guess we're done too?" Cross asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, I'll come back on my own to check on stuff from Lust but besides that... you good Fatal?"

"Yeah. I'm good. I think I'll be ok actually. I'm ready to check out wherever Fresh decides next," Fatal said and I was glad there was visible process with him. Whatever Fresh was doing was working.

"Brah let me tell you I's got a list."

"I's isn't a word," Cross said and Fresh just waved him off.

"Of course it is. I said it so therefore it's a word. I've been having rad lingo this whole time and you say something now?"

"I's isn't a word." Cross repeated and I raised a hand.

"Just let it go. It's not worth it. See you two around." I waved bye to Fresh and Fatal before walking to Cross. I opened up a way to Nightmare's domain.

"See ya Broski! We're going to Underswap!" I heard a poof and looked back seeing they were gone.

"I pray for Swap and Stretch," Cross said.

"Eh, I'm sure it'll be fine. Maybe."

"You sound so sure," Cross's sarcastic tone reached my hearing.

"It's Underswap. They are different and that's all I'm saying." I rose my hands in a surrender motion and stepped through the portal with Cross. Upon returning Cross left to do his own thing and I walked off to see if Gradient was around or if he went somewhere else.

I wouldn't be mad if he left but it would be nice to know so I don't think he's been kidnapped. I've had enough of that for a lifetime.
