Months later, Reaper's POV

Dear stars, I love Error! Everything is great about him...

I smile widely, watching him destroy another AU. If nobody could tell already, I've fallen for him. Even watching his calculated, strategic moves to fight Ink off and destroy the AU is something that amazes me. And seeing his joy, his confidence, and hearing him laugh when he is victorious amuses me, even though others call his behavior sick or maniacal. There's just so much to love about him. 

Some are just the same traits that made me fall for Geno easily, just now his own spark or twist to them. Like his voice, melodic laugh, intelligence, confidence, determination, expressions, attitude, how he hides in his scarf when he is shy, everything. In addition to this, I love the traits that I didn't see when with Geno. That includes his craftiness, his dedication to his gang or kids, his sweet honesty and care for the kids, his passion, and his ambitious, brave self. I love every side of him such as the tough, resilient destroyer that he puts on display outside or the intelligent, loyal ally to the gang, and of course, the loving, dedicated father to the kids that I and few others get to see. My thoughts and dreams are consumed by him in ways that were once reserved for Geno. Now I only see "Geno" in our kids, but that's mostly limited to their appearances being similar.

I do realize how much he takes care of me too, even in the small ways like making coffee or putting a net on the stairs...even if he teases me about it. We've fallen into a routine of taking turns to watch the kids and working. I do the lists one day while he watches them and he goes out to destroy the next while I bond with them. I had decided to take the kids out today and came across the battle. It's interesting to see the thorns twisting with his strings and inflicting more damage. That said, I quickly take the kids away before we get caught in it, returning home. These days have never been better, honestly...

Well, there is one issue aside from the current circumstances...I have no clue what to do or where to take things with Error given my feelings. I don't even know how he feels about me. I don't want to upset him, scare him off with a confession, or lose him in the end. So I just keep things as casual as possible, focusing on enjoying my time with him or our kids. To keep things good between us and hope that it doesn't become obvious or raise suspicions with him. But most importantly, I want to protect Error and the boys, taking care of the kids and even getting them to meet more friends.

Then one day, Error had just come home and I ran to him as quickly as I could. I trip and he catches me gently in his strings, giving me a really?  look but I couldn't help but smile.

"WhAt haS y0u triPpInG n0w?"He asks

"Error! You won't believe what Goth just called me! I'm so happy!"I cheer

"WhAt?"He asks

"He called me Dad!"I say

He smiles, knowing how special this is. Goth's our baby, not the adopted kids of ours from another timeline. Shino has called me it automatically and Raven started to after a few weeks, but Goth held out the longest. So to be called that today by him for once is special. I earned the name and couldn't be happier.

Then I watch as the thorny vines and stems recede from wrapping around Error, only leaving pieces at his wrists and the flowers in his chest and eye. Then a code screen appears with a message from Fate, allowing him to return to work. I chuckle at the message since it's allowing him to continue what he has already been doing. The message says that some parts will remain as a reminder for him, which he shrugs off and then dismisses the screen. 

It wasn't long after that update that he was pulled back into gang meetings. But we still keep our routine and he even made adjustments to the meetings so that it would fit our routine. I smile when he does this, knowing that I must be doing something right for him to want to stay with me.

I check my phone with my reminders and grin. I check off a few more boxes. Now I just have to gain the trust of Horror, Blue, and Blip. Goth said it would be good to get those close to Error to trust me and I've been working to gain their support. Killer has made very blunt comments to me or jokes to tell me that he trusts me with Error, especially after seeing how I acted with Ink. He promises never to try to call my bluff, making me chuckle. Dust doesn't seem to care either way and Nightmare seems untrusting of me but I don't really care about him. He seems ready to complain about anything and anyone so why try to get what is never available? It's the three closest to him that I should worry about. The three uncles.

"I'm heading out to complete a list! Be back home soon!"I shout as I grab my scythe

I feel a tug at my wrist and see some strings offering me a thermos full of hot coffee. I grin, taking it as the strings slither away.

I love that glitch.
