Dust wakes up with someone present in his room, the problem is that he fell asleep alone

_____________________________

When Dust wakes up he is surprised to find Killer cuddled into him. The room is a mess, there is a lot of that dark liquid on the floor and the trash can is full of it. Killer's state probably has something to do with Nightmares absence.

The mortal tries to get out of the bed without waking up the demon but Killer cuddles into him more in his sleep. Dust sighs, looks like he is stuck.

Luckily it's dinner time quickly and Horror knocks on his door to see what had stopped him from coming down to eat. The demon goes inside the room and frowns at the scene. He walks to the two of them. "Since when is he like this?"

Dust shrugs. "When I woke up he was here." Horror takes out a tissue and wipes away the black substance but it comes back immediately, he puts the tissue in the trash. The demon puts his hand on Killer's forehead and removes it after a moment before sighing.

"He gets like this sometimes.. when Nightmare is not here to help him with his night terrors. Usually he stays up all night then.. " Horror pats Dust's head before getting up.

"Go eat dinner when he wakes up." The demon leaves and closes the door. Killer does not wake up for at least 2 more hours and Dust manages to take a small nap.

Killer opens his eye sockets and yawns quietly before looking around, that ain't his room. He spots the person next to him and grins slightly before putting their foreheads together.

"G'mornin." Dust's voice startles him and Killer sighs before cuddling into him again. Whatever was left of his dignity that he had was left in his room. This is Dust's territory so he will act like it. Now he wonders if mortals have territories and stuff, he will ask Horror later.

"Mornin." Killer closes his eye sockets again, ready to go back to sleep already despite waking up just a moment ago. "Kille no." Dust's voice holds a warning in it but it's easy to ignore in Killer's sleepy state.

"5 more minutes.."

Dust glares quietly. 5 minutes pass and just as he is about to wake Killer up Horror walks into the room with food. Cross joins them after he can't find any of them in the castle and they all eat together in Dust's room.
