Contains swearing and innuendos
Quietly, Nightmare teleported, jumping universes. He glanced around the anti-void, sighing. A tendril snatched multiple strings, tugging on them sharply.
“Error?” He asked aloud “Don’t make me teleport up there.”
“...piss off...” Error hissed, Nightmare grimaced, pulling on the strings more.
“Get down here, I wanna talk.” He stated, the glitch growled lowly, unimpressed. “...c’mon...”
“Why should I?” He retorted, peering down at Nightmare, watching him roll his eye.
“Because I’m telling you to.” Another tendril snatched him by his waist, he yelped loudly, clawing at his strings desperately. “Stop.”
“L/e//t g/o!” He glitched madly, barely clinging onto his blue threads. One more tendril appeared, tangling around his hands and tearing them off. Error shrieked, dragged down to face the oil monster, noticing his single eye glowing softly.
“N/o!” He snapped, trying to sink his teeth into the tendrils. “L/e/t m//e g/o!”
“Stop that.” Nightmare hit him off the floor, gritting his teeth. Error felt the tendrils tightening around him, he wheezed, managing to pull his hands to his face and dig his teeth into the oily tentacle.
Nightmare winced, dropping the glitch entirely. Error scrambled to his feet, opening a portal and teleporting through it swiftly. Groaning, Nightmare fell onto his backside, stroking the tendril warily.
“...asshole...” He murmured, smearing oil over the bite wound. Letting out an exasperated sigh, he got up, jumping universes again. Immediately, he snapped all of his tendrils around Error, he struggled frantically.
“S-st//op! St/o//p i/t!” He panicked, hating the sensation around his body. Nightmare didn’t let go, keeping him trapped, watching as he tried to pull himself out of the tangled mess.
“...just calm down.” A tendril touched his cheek lightly, brushing against it. Error snapped his teeth at it, Nightmare flinched. “M’not gonna hurt you, alright? I just wanna talk.”
“F/u//ck o/ff!” Error snarled, spitting at the oil monster. “I’m n//ot go/ing b/a//ck t/o y/our sh//it sh/ow!”
“...really?” Nightmare tilted his head, he nodded quickly, feeling the tendrils squeeze the living daylight out of him. He gasped for air, panting rapidly, Nightmare simply watched. “You agreed, Error.”
“N-N/igh//t!” His ribcage started to close in on itself, the tendrils bending his ribs inwards, crushing them. “S...s//t/op...!” Nightmare grinned a little, amused.
“P-pl/ea/se!” He didn’t want to die “I-I’m s//o/rr/y!” And they loosened off, Error collapsed, mortified. The oil monster knelt down in front of him, one knee on the ground, gazing down at the trembling glitch.
“...you’re ‘sorry’?” He enquired, Error nodded weakly, choking down air. “...honestly...” Nightmare got to his feet, shaking his head. “You’re fucking pathetic, y’know?” He listened to the glitch whimpering, clawing at the ground with his fingertips. Nightmare glanced around the universe, staring at the stars.
“H...h-h//e/h...” Error curled into a ball, hugging his knees to his bruised ribcage, trying to settle his breathing. Nightmare looked down at him, slipping a single tendril around him, Error tensed up.
“...you still alive?” He questioned, Error didn’t respond, staring at the tendril around his midsection. “Answer me.” He nodded slowly, quivering like a leaf. “Good.” Nightmare jumped universe once more, taking the glitch with him. Instantly, Error started to struggle again, forced into a cell. “Behave.”
“N-N//ight/m//a/re!” The door slammed shut, Nightmare vanished, leaving Error alone.
