@Normal POV@
You groan. Your head was pounding from crying so much earlier. What happened though? You feel that one of your friends had his arms wrapped around you. Where were you? You feel a soft bed underneath you. You open your eyes and blink until your vision clears. You see Sans there hugging you close to his chest. He was asleep though and you two were in your room at home. Didn't you go to school today though? You try to pull you away but his grip didn't falter. 
"Hmm….. warm….." Sans mumbles. 
"Sans…" you say in a scratchy voice. You must have been crying really hard. His eyes fly open and his left eye glows before dying out.
"A-ah, starshine…. are you doing okay?"
"I'm okay…. why am I home with you…."
"You had a major panic attack. I was heading to your locker when I saw you clinging to Nightmare for dear life. He turned to try and calm you down and the moment he touched you, you panicked even more and that's when I got to you. Tori told me to bring you here and you wouldn't let me go."
"Oh…." you say.
"What happened?"
"Well… I got to school and went to my locker then…. then that asshole Lust found me….." you shudder and Sand frowns.
"What did he do?" 
"At first he was just putting his hands on my shoulders and flirting….. then when I ignored him to get my stuff he wrapped an arm around my waist…… Nightmare came over after that and tried to get him to leave me alone but…. Lust said something that seemed to confuse him…. Edge just so happened to be walking by then and scared the jerk away…."  you finish and Sans hugs you tighter to him.
"That jerk….. want me to tell the others so they can give him a bad time?"
"No no….. let's get something to eat though….. let's order in pizza?"
"Sure."
"Pepperoni sound good?"
"Of course." You take out your phone and see that its 2 in the afternoon. You shrug and order the pizza. Then the two of you go down stairs and wait for it. After about half an hour it arrived and you'd let your friends know that you were okay.
You'd put on a random show on the discovery channel after it had ended a space program came on and you smile as you come into the living room with the pizza to see him staring at the TV with absolute concentration. You sit next to him and take a piece of pizza and start eating. When a commercial comes on Sans sees you looking at him and eating pizza. "When did that arrive?"
"Hmm… about 5 minutes ago. You were too interested in the show." He blushes a dark royal blue. "You should get something to eat too." He nods and takes a piece of pizza. You two watch the rest of the show and soon school ends for the day.
There's a knocking at your door and you yell at the door, "who's there?"
Theres a pause before you hear Red yell, "dishes!"
"Dishes who?"
"Dishes a very bad joke, can we come in?"
You get up and walk to the door before knocking twice.
"Who's there?"
"Come."
"Come who?" You hear Rus say.
"Come in here you dorks." You say before cracking the door and walking to the livingroom. You settle onto the couch next to Sans again. You look to see Red, Rus, Blue, Dream and an upset looking Nightmare. "Sorry for this morning guys. Bad panic attack." You notice Nightmare start to tear up. "Nightmare, you okay?" He puts his hand to his mouth and looks away.
You look at Dream confused and let it seem like you were asking what happened. "Don't worry about my brother. He just had a bad day…" Dream trails off and you get up before going to Nightmare. You grab the hand that isn't at his mouth and lead him to the other couch. Pushing on his shoulders you make him sit then sit beside him and hug him. You feel him wrap his arms around your waist and rest his head on your shoulder mumbling apologies and crying. 
"Hey, Nightmare, calm down. You're fine." You reassure him while running a hand soothingly along the back of his skull. He sobs harder and shakes his head. "You're fine. I'm fine too." The others sit down, with Dream sitting on the other side of his brother. Nightmare just kept apologizing over and over again. Soon you pull away and put your hands on his cheekbones and wipe the lavender tears away. "Nightmare, I've already forgiven you for all of that. I know that if you'd been in control of yourself, and not had that parasite controlling you, you would have never done any of that stuff." He starts crying harder and nods. "What that thing did wasn't your fault." He reaches up and wraps his arms around your neck in a hug. You jump slightly then relax. "See, I'm not mad. I have a question for you though." He looks at you in confusion. 
"Y-yeah?" 
"You wanna go see my book collection?" His eyes go wide and he nods. 
"T-that would be nice…."
You stand up and hold out a hand to him and he takes it. "Good. Hey Sans, you can tell the others what I told you earlier." You lead Nightmare up to your room and he sees the book case that covers the wall opposite the door in your bedroom.. 
"These are all yours?" He asks in astonishment. 
"Yeah, mom and dad left me lots in their wills…. Auntie will buy me books about twice a week if she sees something I'd like. Feel free to look around the room too. Well except the closest…."  he nods and walks to the bookcase. "Oh right, there's a rolling ladder in the corner if you want to look higher up." He nods. 
"Did you ever read that note Edge left you this morning?"
"Huh??" You ask confused. 
"You don't remember? When you backed up it fell and I gave it to Sans. He put it in your pocket." You reach your hand in your hoodie pocket and pull out a note that has a red wax seal that's in the shape of a skull. You open the note and sit on the bed.
'Dear (Y/N),
I must sincerely apologize to you for the incident yesterday evening. If it had occurred to myself that you were in such a state I certainly would not have barged into Red's room at that moment. On to the other reason that this letter is being written is the fact something has been bothering me greatly, so I have requested that you meet me after school today just outside the library. For your own sake and my own standards you better not keep me waiting too long.
Sincerely,
The Great and Terrible Edge.'
You get up and walk to the staircase. "Red!" You yell and he teleports to the bottom. 
"Sup sweetheart?"
"Tell your brother that I cant talk to him today because I had to go home so I will tomorrow. He apologized for yesterday too."
Red blinks but nods. "'Course sweetheart."
"Thanks." You go back to your room and start to make your bed.
"What was that about?" Nightmare asks from the top of the ladder.
"Eh, Edge walked in on me changing yesterday after Red and I finished filming our scene for language class. He apologized in the note for it." You finish making your bed and nod at it. You look up to see Nightmare staring at you. "What? Is there something on my face?"
"How much did that idiot see?"
"Well… my chest is still wrapped up because of my ribs so it wasn't too bad….. but he saw the entirety of the scars…." you say with a small blush. You walk over to your vanity and pick up the picture of your parents. You smile at it remembering the good times when they'd take you to visit with your friends. Suddenly a hand is on your shoulder and you jump, almost dropping the picture. 
"I didn't mean to startle you. Is that a picture of your parents? I could tell that you were happy and sad at the same time."
"Yeah, that's them. People always say that I look like my mom with my dad's skin tone and hair."
"They're right. You mom was very beautiful." He looks and sees the picture Ink had drawn for you last weekend. "Did Ink draw that?"
You laugh, "yeah he did. His peace offering to me." You chuckle again and shake your head.
"It's pretty accurate. Ink always pays close attention to details on drawings."
"Nah, i think it looks a lot better than me." You smile though. "Maybe I'd look that good if I hadn't gotten caught in that fire." You say and Nightmare turns you yo look at him.
"Do not put yourself down, you're very beautiful, just like your mother. Your scars just make you unique." You blink up at him and burst out laughing. Everytime you start to calm down you look to see his confused face and laugh even harder than before. At some point during your laughing fit the others had rushed up to your room. Eventually the laughs turn to just giggles. Everyone was looking at you strangely. 
"H-hey guys." You let out another giggle. "W-what brings you here?
