Little Headcanon Time With Horror

Little headcanon time with Horror

Since Horror lived through a litteral famine he knows what hunger feels like and what damage malnourishment can cause, so when he started to get attached to his teammates after starting to work for Nightmare he made it his mission to make sure no one would ever be hungry ! It's a tough job as all four of Nightmare, Cross, Killer and Dust have VERY bad eating habits (Nightmare eating anything without any regard as to if it's edible since he lived outside all his childhood, Cross having a very strict diet and excessive training sessions, Killer forgetting to eat because depending on the stage he's on he can't feel when he's hungry, Dust straight up refusing to eat as a form of self punishment for his sins, ... )

So he makes sure they eat regularly and in good quantity

Now, that's cute, but as you know I love adding a little angst, SO

Horror having aphasia, he has trouble finding the right words, and often messes up by saying something that comes off as mean when really he was being nice

The one he watches the most is Dust as he is the most difficult to get to eat, and he would sometimes look at him and go "you gained weight", which Dust doesn't appreciate because he is already having a hard time appreciating himself, and these commentaries actually make him want to eat less, so it's an infinite spiral of eating, gaining weight, not eat anymore, losing weight, eating, ... etc

But the thing is

Horror didn't say it to be rude, he said it because he is genuinely happy that Dust gained weight, because to him weight means that he has a healthy eating habit, that he is not hungry and doesn't restrain himself from eating when hungry like he used to do

But now Dust is sad and he won't eat anymore and Horror doesn't know what went wrong because he was doing so good ! But it's okay, he'll take care of him and help him gain a little more weight, just like he does for everyone

Horror's dream is really seeing everyone being a little chubby, not obese as he knows obesity isn't good either, but he wants to see them gain a little weight, as a proof they aren't hungry, as a reminder that the famine is over and everyone is alright

Because he loves them so much
