My Guardian Nightmare

=35 - A king and his prince=

"Really? That's a possibility?" Error tilted his skull before smiling brightly. "Oooh! I'm glad then! I don't have to choose! I don't like choosing, you and Mama are all very amazing, as well as my brothers!"

The guardian chuckled and hugged Error. "That's good, you don't need to chose. So, does that mean I am your Papa now?" The guardian chuckled. "Papamare!" Error then made grabby hands for Nightmare happily, grinning brightly up at him.

Nightmare chuckled, a bright smile on his face. His tentacles were swaying happily, as he carried Error up into his arms. The guardian held Error tight, as he nuzzled the child.

(Neva: Guess Nightmare ain't going down the tsundere path xD
Mondi: Nah, we have already enough tsundere in this story, a bit change is good xD)

Error nuzzled Nightmare back happily. "King Guardian Papamare!" Error explained happily. "Or Dadmare?" Error wondered to himself, both sounds good in his opinion.

Nightmare booped Error. "Call me what you want, Ruru. I don't care, as long you're comfortable." He answered with a grin.

"Okay!" Error cheered happily, nuzzling Nightmare more and clinging to him. "I wish I can tell mama about you..." Error couldn't help but think. Sighing softly, his previous excitement dimming a bit. It would be so cool too!

Nightmare sighed. "I am sorry, Ruru. But most people don't really... like me, y'know? It would be too dangerous for you and your family if you were to tell someone. And I do not wish to hurt you or the ones you care for." He answered and rubbed Error's cheek.

"But why? Why do they not like you? You're pretty cool!" Error pouts childishly. "I don't get what they see in you, you're an awesome King!"

"It's just- I am the guardian of negativity. Who would like someone, who is literally full of negativity goop? I am dangerous, Error. That's why people don't like me. And maybe because I give them nightmares. Oh, and because of the killing thing, but I am not doing that as often as my boys." Nightmare explained, petting Error.

"Killing thing?" Error tilted his skull innocently at Nightmare in confusion. "I don't see you as dangerous though... You protect me!" Error pouted childishly at Nightmare.

Nightmare smiled at Error. "Don't worry about it. And yeah... but not everyone sees that, y'know? It's rather sad, honestly." The guardian explained.

"Well they meanies." Error huffed childishly. "Judges too easily..." Error grumbled softly, leaning against Nightmare before blinking. "Nightymare? Why do you need the Neg... Nega... Negatwity?" Error asked, looking up at his guardian.

"Well, it's-" Nightmare frowned and thought for a bit. "It's... Bad. Well, literally. People describe something negative as bad and something positive as good."

"Ohh... So you absorb the bad?" Error narrowed his eyesockets a bit. "Are the goop made of the bad?" Error asked, making grabby hands for a tentacle.

"Well, only bad feelings. Not all bad. I am made of bad feelings." Nightmare answered and moved a tentacle into Error's hand.

"Oh..." Error spoke as he then grabbed the tentacle and then lightly squished it. "Squishy!" Error giggled softly. "Is that why you don't like to see me sad?" Error tilted his skull curiously.

Nightmare sighed. "Well, kinda. It makes me feel like it's my fault, y'know? But that doesn't change the fact that you should experience negative emotions. It's very important for you mental and emotional health. Because it's bad to ignore someone's own feelings, it makes a person sick." He said and booped Error.
