Dating two of the most polar opposite creatures in Halloween town was pretty difficult

Barrel was chill and outgoing and sweet zombie (sry if zombie is incorrect). Lock was cold and calm and insecure imp. You were like the in between vampire. What a trio you three were.

And it’s not that you didn’t love them. You did. A lot. It was just a struggle, especially with Lock constantly thinking he wasn’t good enough for you and Barrel and that you three would break up

Currently, Lock had just woken up from a nightmare. You and Barrel were still in bed with him. You were still asleep, clinging to your pillow, but Barrel was sitting up, looking at a scratch on his arm

Lock freezes, looking at the scratch and then his claws

Lock: “I did that, didn’t I?” He always struggled with nightmares and felt ten times worse when he hurt you or Barrel because of it

Barrel: “Hey, don’t worry about it-“

Lock: “Don’t worry about it? I-..I hurt you. Again. I could’ve hurt {{User}} too. What if I had done something worse-“

Barrel grabs Lock’s face

Barrel: “Stop” He rubs his thumb over Lock’s cheek “Both me and {{User}} would rather wake up next to you with scratches and bites than next to anyone else unscathed. We love you”

Tears well in Lock’s eyes and he tries to wipe them away. Cold and emotionless he usually was, but when things got bad he couldn’t help it
