Reborn as Error

49 - Morning Outing

It was the first official day in this place and I was already awake before the sun even rose. Why? Well I was woken up by some back and forth sounds coming from outside the door. Since I was awake I couldn't sleep again. Being in a new place to adjust didn't help.

Nightmare was still asleep so I slipped on my glasses, quietly left the room, and headed down to where I could hear the most noise, which was the kitchen. Inside were Papyrus, Fell Papyrus, Blue, and one of the other Blues. Each with either a cup or a breakfast bar from what I could see. They looked at me and Blue seemed to noticed my not so awake expression. 

"Oh Error! Did we wake you? Sorry about that." I just grumbled and heard something plop on the counter close to me. Looking over I saw a white mug with dark liquid inside, the dark Blue placed it down. Now that they were closer I could see their eyelights were a darker shade of blue, their presence was stronger, and... was that a crack or a scar on their eye? 

"....coffee?"

"Come on, no way Error likes coffee." Blue said with a scrunched up expression.

"If it wakes me up....." I said before picking up the mug and sipping the beverage. Yep, bitter and strong. Gross really but I was definitely more awake now so I guess it did its job. 

"So, why are all you up exactly?"

"Well brother Error, we have our morning workouts. Would you like to join us?" Papyrus said looking hopefully that I would agree. Unfortunately for him Sans wasn't around so...

"Heh, hard pass." I leaned on the counter while sipping the coffee wishing I had creamer or sugar or something to change to taste.

"Oh come on Error it will be fun," Blue said making me glare slightly. As far as he was concerned I was one of the lazy ones. I didn't want to exercise, I've not done it in so long.

"Still no." 

"You're going." Fell Papyrus said bringing the attention to him, I'll just call him Fell. 

"Oh really? And why should I listen to you? Someone I have never met and I don't know." I probably shouldn't be poking a bear right now but I was still tired enough to not care much. 

"I am the great Papyrus, head of the royal guard! Now you know me and I say I refuse to have another lazy bones brother around here." He glared a bit but I wasn't fazed, yet.

"That's not really-" I started but he held out his hand stopping me.

"Plus you will get to get out of this house for fresh air and to get away from the others." Just like that, I was convinced to leave. My group usually sleeps a good bit, I wonder if the others get up earlier.

"......alright then."

"Wait really?! You'll come with us?" Blue seemed surprised that Fell was able to make me change my mind.

"Of course he did. I already get sick of looking at you marshmallows every time I walk around he. I'm not surprised they don't want to be in here either."

"Don't expect me to do.... whatever you do, I'll just be tagging along. I just need to wear... something else." My mug was finished so I headed back upstairs and checked the drawers. To my luck there were a change of clothes that I deemed workout clothes. 

After making sure Nightmare was asleep I changed and headed back down stairs spotting the others by the front door. Once I joined they headed outside. 

Now, the only thing I willingly did was the run, even though I don't like running I would've gotten lost if I walked behind them. Or maybe not. 

There weren't that many houses nearby from what I could see and at a certain point we reached a hill and I could see many buildings further out. At this point though I pocketed my glasses, they were getting in the way, and sped up to catch up with the others. I was grateful that Classic Papyrus was kind enough to slow down for me.
