You were just causally chilling in the living room when it happened, having over Horror to play some games as well as share dinner together for some bonding time. You both were positioned on either side of the sofa that was facing across from each other, stares glued onto the screen with light clicking sounds of plastic joysticks lingering in the air with bright lights shining from the screen as an upbeat soundtrack plays in the background of the house softly. The gentle stirring of the oven vibrating slowly with the roasted beef inside cooking up to be prepared later with a kettle bubbling lightly on the stove above as water boiled inside peacefully. You were both leaning onto each other, immersed intently to the game.

Every now and then, Horror would crack a sudden pun with a cheeky smirk on his skull with a light hearted tone in his voice as he chuckled faintly. You would burst out into hearty laughter, a wide grin fading onto your own face with ecstasy beaming while the sound resonated in the comfortable air. The skeleton’s own smile would broaden as he listened to the delighted laughter, his expression softening while watching you with his glowering eyes glinting with sincerity.

Thats when he felt his soul suddenly warm up with a slight nudge, as sudden thoughts flooded in his mind filling with you when connecting the tug to your direction. Sparks of affection crawled through while Horror had grown a tender look in his sole ‘eye.’ That’s when he knew that you were not only his best friend…but his soulmate. A pang of euphoria filled up inside his chest with a lovely feeling, however a creeping feeling of unease appeared with the knowledge that this could make him lose your company that he sadly longed for.

“So do you want to continue playing, or pull out the food?”

Horror suddenly questioned with a thoughtful expression hiding his recent episode as he tried to distract himself from the thoughts that could burden him, rather on the hopeful side that he craved. As well as staying in the real life.
