Chapter 26:Friends and Accidents

                                    

                                          
Killer's POV a few days later
"Morning, Killer."
"Morning, Horror."I say as he sets food out
"Did you rest well?"Cross asks
"Did you realize how loud you snore?"Dust grumbles
"Enough you two."Dream says
I glance at Horror as he hums a tune.
"Ya know I haven't seen Lust in a while. How have you both been?"I ask Horror
His face burns up a bright red.
"W-We've been good..."He says
"Got any plans with him?"X!Chara asks
"I'll go find him..."He says, swimming out
"Wow, Chara. You spooked him."Cross says
"What I say?"He asks
"Horror clearly has the feels for Lust but is very shy and jumpy about the topic. Not to mention that it's getting closer to mating season for his kind and he's completely innocent to that concept, your question and implications may have spooked him in more ways than one."Dust says
I smile as I eat and hear them discuss it. Then hear a bellowing call of a conch shell.
"What's that?"Dream asks
"I made some friends and that's their way of calling a hangout."I say
"You're heading out again?"He asks
There's a knock at the boulder. I nod, opening it to see Error waiting outside.
"YoU rEaDy tO gO?"Error asks
I nod, following him away. I notice Error smiling for once.
"Is InK gOInG tO bE tHeRe?"He asks
Oooh! That's why!
"Depends, when is your mating season?"I ask
"SHUT UP!"He snaps, his face turning a bright yellow
We follow the sound of the conch call. The first one I see is Outer, who hugs me close. I see two new friends beside him. One being a colorful mersquid named Ink and another being Blue, obviously with his bright blue tail. Ink looks over at Error and his eyes twinkle with a spark of recognition.
"Error...?"He says
That was surprising. He has horrible memory and this is only the second time they've hung out. Error seems just as surprised. 
"HeY, InK."Error says
Ink grins, sitting down with him. He puts a shell between them, putting his hand on one end of it with Error's hand on the other. Ink puts down a sack and smiles at Error.
"I noticed that you, um, keep a pearl close to you in your place so I thought you'd like some shells and....these...."He says
Error peeks into the bag and his eyes twinkle.
"WoOaAh..."He says, his cheeks burning.
Outer, Blue, and I each look at each other as the two start up a conversation. Ink of course is eagerly leading the conversation. Yet Error is intently listening.
"They are so in love."Blue chuckles
"And thus gives birth to the squellyfish species and mers."Outer chuckles as the two completely disregard us for their conversation. 
We settle nearby them, chatting away in our own conversations. Then we pause, hearing some rustling behind some seaweed. Blue glances over, then focuses back on us. I see two glowing eyes from the seaweed and quickly recognize them as they fixate on Blue. After a few minutes I can tell that his gaze was noticed by Blue and making him uncomfortable. I facepalm, shaking my head.
