Chapter Text
…oh god. They’re here again.
Ughhhhhhhhhh
—--
Today was a simple mission. Walk in, destroy the glitch, walk out. Done. Buut of course it couldn’t be that easy.
Not because of the glitch. No, the glitch was easy.
You had come through a portal Cross had made- thank god for his figuring out how to do it. You had made it to the AU the glitch had occurred in without an issue. You’d asked Cross if he was ready, and he kissed you and said “Now I am.”
…he’s so cute dammit-
Glitch destroyed, AU saved, bim bam christmas ham everything’s fine.
Until it WASN’T.
Because at that EXACT moment, some- ahem- “choice individuals” showed up.
Yes. The assholes you’d met before.
First, the covered in goop one- Nightmare- smiled instantly. Ohh not that smile. That smile said “look who it is, time to die.” If you weren’t already pumped with adrenaline, you might have been scared. But honestly, you knew this guy, you were tired, and you weren’t worried so much as annoyed.
Oh. And then the hoodie one- Dust- just- sorta retreated. Didn’t say anything, just backed up. Dust seemed… actually chill. Maybe a liitle weird, but chill.
And of course, Killer- the ASSHOLE- grinned wider and walked closer to you. Cross put a hand on your shoulder.
“Long time no see, sweetie.”
Oh look, Killer’s talking to you.
“My name. Is not. Sweetie.” You allowed a harsh edge to your voice. Didn’t want to deal with THIS shit today, but oh well.
“Ya think I care? The name fits you. You look like a sweet t r e a t-“
You punched Killer.
…
Wait, you punCHED KILLER?!?!
Oh god. Oh fuck. That was a- that was amazing, actually.
Well deserved.
Cross’s mouth made a silent “oooh-“
Nightmare’s mouth made a not-so-silent “ooooooh-“
Killer was still standing- although, he looked surprised. Nice one, (y/n)!
…oh hell. There’s the smile again. This time, sharper. More threatening.
…yet still arrogant as fuck. Why, God? Why??
“It punches?” Little- STILL mocking you??
“Oh, back to the ‘it’ I see. Could you get any less creative with your insults?”
Cross snorted as Nightmare yelled “OOOOOOH” again. Maybe this was entertaining. Hell, Dust was covering up a grin. Killer started to say something, but you cut him off. “Assholes such as yourself don’t get to say disgusting things and still be able to talk. Go away, asshole.”
And then.
In a burst of insanity, while thinking Eh, got nothing more to lose.
You flipped him off.
…well, there goes your life.
Killer just stood there in shock. GET WRECKED!
Nightmare was trying not to laugh.
Dust was- you actually didn’t know, you couldn’t see him. His hood was pulled over his face now.
Cross was laughing his ass off.
You turned around, looked at Cross, and said one thing.
“Leave?”
“Leave,” He affirmed.
And off you were.
… what a day to be alive.
