Error's POV

With a snap of my fingers he was tied in strings and my fists clench shakily.

"YoU bEtTeR hAvE a gOoD fUcKInG ReAsOn WhY yOu hAvE hIS pHoNE! CuZ I aM RuNnInG iNto ThE nEGaTiVes wItH mY pAtIeNcE aNd iT iSN'T eVeN nOoN! AnD I aM nOT a MoRNiNg PeRsON!"I growl at him

"Error please put me down! I can explain! At least try! I don't know what exactly happened with my goop falling off after having coffee!"He says

Nobody knows that he has coffee in the morning...Reaper was just playing with chance for him to have an apple...

Then I notice two things sticking out of his pocket. A puppet of me and the scarf I gave Nightmare.

Is it even him? Could Perl have just simply followed the scent coming from the scarf?

I raise him higher with my strings, feeling my head as I sit on the log. My mind is racing as nothing makes sense and my soul is pounding as it's fueled on my worries.

"WhErE iS nIgHtMaRE?"I ask, my fists clenching

"Right here!"He says, his voice cracking with desperation

"HaH, liKe I'd bEliEvE tHaT. AlRiGhT, tElL mE sOmEtHiNg OnLy hE'D kNoW. WaRnInG, iF yOu GeT It wRoNg I aM sLaMmiNg yOu iNtO tHe gRoUnD."I say

"I am the only one that you don't glitch out when touching! You think it is out of respect or trust and we cuddle together to spend that time! We share an album on our phones and I held you when you couldn't swim when we went to the beach!"He shouts

All of those things are true and none of that info would be known by strangers outside of our home group. I loosen the strings, slowly lowering him down until his feet touch the ground. I release him and frown. I reach up from where I sit, gently feeling his cheek.

"HoW...? WhAt diD rEaPEr CaUsE?"I say softly

And why the hell is he so cute?

"So my nose actually caught the right scent?"Perl asks

I nod. He smiles, cuddling up to me with a purr.

"Who is this?"He asks

"pErL. ReApEr sMuGgLeD a PoIsOnEd aPpLe iNtO tHe bAtCh HoRrOr bROUgHt bAcK. ThE oNe iN yOuR cOfFeE. BuT oF aLl tHiNgS, I dId nOt ExPeCt ThAt tO mEaN hE'D tUrN yOu iNtO tHiS...EsPEcIAlLy wHen hE mEaNt FoR iT tO kiLl yOu."I reply

"Oh yeah...Right, this form...Umm..."He says, glancing down

I notice that he has both eyes visible now and they're a deep, dazzling purple.

No, now is not the time to think of THAT. This is serious. I can be gay about it later.

"So I wasn't always a walking octopus....It was long ago, but this was my original form. I am sorry that you found out like this..."He says

I get up, pulling him into a hug. I feel tears leave my eyes.

"I aM jUsT gLaD tHaT y0u'Re oKaY, NiGhTmArE."I say

But Asgoro damn it, why do you have to be so cute?

"Does anyone else know?"He asks

I shake my head, opening a portal to his room. We go through and I fix Perl's code so he returns to his cat self. Telling by his purrs, he was much happier like this. Then I check Nightmare's code, relieved to see that there's no code killing him off.

"Y0uR c0dE hAs a VerY sTr0nG t0lErAnCe iT sEemS. It bAsiCaLly rEjEcTeD ReApEr's p0iSoN aNd WeNt iNt0 loCkd0wN. It wiLl rUn aGaIn bY miDnIghT, aLloWiNg y0u tO sHifT bAck aS y0u pLeAsE."I say
