Chapter seven: Family

Killer's POV:

We all teased and joked with each other until nightfall.

"Guess it's time to go home," Blue said disappointed.

"Don't worry Little Berry, you can always visit tomorrow!" Error reassures, rubbing Blue's head.

"Yeah!" I added. "You're always welcomed with us!"

"Thank you, guys." Blue smiled.

We all parted and went to our homes. We all did our thing until Nightmare got a text. He read it, gasping at the end. He typed quickly then turned to us.

"Guys, is Blue's room cleaned from before?" He asked us.

"Yeah. I personally cleaned it. Why?" Horror replies.

"He's going to be living with us..." Dad answered. We all gasped. That means that he moved out or was abandoned... And Blue's brother would never let him move out so... We all turned to look at the portal that was made. Nightmare walked through and came carrying Blue's things with Blue following.

Error hugged Blue right away, checking for any scars.

"Are you okay?! Did they do anything?! What happened?!" Error interrogated. Blue hugs back and starts crying.

"S-Stretch disowned me and I-I was kicked out of the council and my A-AU because I refused t-to say where you g-guys lived..." Blue sobbed. We all ran up and hugged him.

"It's okay Blue. We'll be here for you." Dust reassured.

"T-thank you guys..." Blue said as he calmed down.

"Come on, let's get you to bed." I walked away, picking up as much of Blue's stuff as I could. Aka all but one bag.

Blue picked up the last bag and we headed to his room. His room is right alongside ours since he's apart of our family. We came up to his room and walked inside.

"Can... I be alone for a bit? I'll be down for dinner..." He asked.

"Of course," I replied, hugging him one last time before leaving.

When He came down later he was in the clothes Error made him.

We all ate dinner when Blue started explaining deep on what happened

Flashback

Blue's POV:

I skipped into my house where I saw Ink, Dream, and my brother.

"Hello Ink! Hello Dream! Hello Pappy!" I greeted.

"Hey Blue... can you sit? We need to talk..." Dream stated. I started to begin to worry as I sat down.

'What did I do wrong? Wait, did I do something wrong? Oh, stars what's going on?'

"Blue... We saw you hanging out with Nightmare's crew." Papy explained. Oh, that's all?

"That's what this is all about? If you're worried I told them anything I didn't! I kept my mouth shut about our meetings!" I exclaimed.

"Er... We were wondering if you could tell us where my brother and his gang live..." Pappy says. Rat out... my friends? After all, they have done... Stars they've done more for me then the 'light' side has...

"...No. I'm sorry but I can't. Not after all, they have done for me." I announced, dropping my cheerful facade.

"Blue, you will tell us where they live and stop hanging out with them or you'll be kicked out of the Star Sanses and the council!" Ink demands, making Dream flinch. Stretch only followed in suit.

"And you'll no longer be my brother," Stretch informed.

"Wait guys that's way too harsh! Can't we just tal-" Dream started.

"No! He has the location of our greatest rivals and he hasn't told us!" Ink huffed. "Tell us Blue or leave!"

"...Then... Goodbye." I replied, standing up. Their faces looked shocked. "Ya know, I gave you guys a chance to change and think for once in your immortal life's but you didn't. I gave you guys a chance to see them for who they truly are. You all say they are insane but they at least get both sides of the story."

I walked to my room, slipping a note in Dream's bag as I passed. "I'm going to pack. You have 20 minutes to decide everyone's destiny. You all decide if I stay or leave. Either way, talking can solve this. And either way, those you call insane will forever be my family. My true family." I walked upstairs and headed to my room.

10 minutes later I finished packing and waited to see if Dream came up. He did.

"Blue?" I heard him call.

"Come in," I stated coldly. Dream entered, closing the door behind him.

"...You really are leaving, aren't you?" He stares at my bags.

"Y-Yeah..." I said quietly as everything sunk in. Dream sat next to me.

"Why are you all so blind?" I muttered, not expecting a response.

"What do you mean?" Dream asked, causing me to flinch. I sighed.

"You all say that your brother's gang is evil yet I'm the only one who asked the question why. I was hoping that if you all saw them how they normally act then you would question why but... you didn't." I replied.

"What do you mean Blue?" Dream questioned confused.

"Dream. Do you know why Error destroys? Do you know why Night ate the apples? Do you know why Horror and Killer did that to their AU's? Do you know why Horror and Cross joined? Did you ever feel, within the past eon, positive emotions from them in our fights? Did you forget what Night told you before the incident? Dream, for the love of stars please open your eyes for once. You all call them emotionless yet do any of Ink's feelings has a real aura? It's not my place to say Dream about why they do what they do, but please for once get both sides. After all, did you all forget that they are monsters too?" I begged. He looked shocked. I hugged myself and looked down.

"Did you forget... that it's your brother that you are fighting? When you nearly passed out after that attack on Error... didn't you say everything has a limit? That everything has a balance?" I stated quietly.

"Blue... where are you going with this?" Dream asked. I only sighed.

"Dream... It is not my place to say. I would but I have a promise to them to keep. I'll ask if we can tell you when I go over there. But you might want to head down so they don't get suspicious. I'll text you their response." I replied.

"I... understand." Dream responded. He got up and left.

"You may be blind Dream but your also the first judge willing to listen..." I muttered as he closed the door. I do not know if he heard me.

Flashback over, Killer's POV

"I texted Night and you guys know the rest." Blue ended.

"...Yes." Nightmare said suddenly.

"Huh?" I questioned.

"Blue, tell my brother that we will explain it to him. I won't pass up the opportunity to let another one know why we do what we do." Dad explained. Blue nodded and started typing on his phone.

"He wonders what time and where," Blue says looking up.

"...We can meet in Dreamtale by the tree now if he wished." Dad suggested. Blue typed again and looked back up.

"He says it's fine with him," Blue responds.

"Good. Cross, when we get back it's your turn to do the dishes." Dad stated as he picked up his empty plate.

"Aw man..." Cross muttered, making me stifle a laugh.

"So bro what should we do while we wait?" Blue asked, poking Error. All of our eyes widened with shock at his calling Error bro. Error's shocked face turns into one of pure happiness.

"We probably should get ready." Error chirped.

"Um... Erry you okay? Why are you so happy suddenly?" Blue questioned. "Not that it's a bad thing! Just curious!"

Horror whispered in Blue's ear making Blue realize what he did.

"Oh... um.. sorry Error..." Blue admitted shyly.

"It's fine! I don't mind!" Error said happily.

"So... you don't mind if I call you my brother?" Blue asked hesitantly.

"Not at all!" Error chirped.

Blue squealed and tackle hugged Error.

"Okay that's enough positivity, we got to go see Dream." Dad states.

"Okay! But Erry question. Does this mean we're brothers?" Blue questioned.

"If you want to." Mom chirped.

"Yes!" Blue exclaimed, nuzzling Error.

Error picked up Blue and headed to DreamTale.

"Oh, my stars, The only time I've seen Error that happy was when we let him join the family..." I muttered under my breath. The others nod in agreement.
