A month later, Error's POV

One day, I heard a knock at the door. I go to it curiously, finding Palette on the other side, holding a heart made of clay in his hands. He isn't wearing his hat or usual clothes. He is wearing a blue-collared shirt and black pants while the dust from the clay remains on his hands. He even cleaned his cheek or covered the usual green patch that I'd usually see on his cheek.

"Hello, Mr. Error. Can I come in to talk to you?"He asks

I nod, smiling at him. He comes in and I shut the door, sitting on the couch with him.

"So? WhAt d0 y0u wAnT t0 tAlK aBoUT?"I ask

His face burns a bit and he lifts the heart in his hands.

"I really like Goth...I love him...So, would it be okay if I ask him out on a date and take him out if he says yes?"He asks

I smirk, being able to tell for a while now how close they've gotten and that this might happen. I saw the way he looked at Goth and how protective he was of my son. They seem to have good chances together to be happy.

"SuRe...I thInK y0u'd b3 hApPy t0getH3r. BuT wHy d1d y0u f3eL tHe n3ed t0 aSk p3rm1sS10n?"I reply

"I know you are very protective of Goth and his siblings so I didn't want to throw your routine off and just leave with him without warning."He says

"AnD wHy spEcIfiCaLlY cOmE tO mE?"I ask

"I know you better and Reaper honestly scares me. I don't know how he'd react, especially since he seems constantly sleep-deprived."He says

"Go0d pOinT....WhY aRe y0u dr3sSeD s0 diFfErEnTlY?"I say

"I wanna look my best and I was taught that I have to dress the part for special occasions by Unclemare! I even made this as a gift for Goth since actions speak louder than words!"He says with the biggest smile.

Look the part....Yeah, he certainly looked the part but forgot to act the part...Palette is so sweet and innocent.

I chuckle, shaking my head.

"PaLeTtE, GoTh wiLl l0v3 y0u n0 maTtEr h0w y0u l0oK. JuSt b3 y0urSeLf. Th3 oNlY tHiNg h3 w0n't liKe iS iF yOu d0n't aCt tHe pArT oR aCt As yOuRsElF. DoN't trY tO bE wHaT yOu tHiNk hE wIlL lIkE, juSt bE genUiNe, oKaY? N0w, lEt's cLeAn tHosE hAnDs, oKaY?"I say

He nods and he leaves after cleaning his hands. I chuckle, smiling.

There goes future son-in-law material...

Not long after that, Goth starts going on dates with Palette and it was great to see them so happy together. And as a bonus, that ended Nightmare's advances for obvious reasons. It would be weird and look very weird if he did and he holds his reputation or image very close to his soul with high importance. Especially since Killer teases about the possibility of them getting married already. Wouldn't it be weird for Palette's uncle to be making advances on his future father-in-law? So that added more distance between us as far as what Horror reports from being at the castle. It can get tense there apparently and as much as he'd like to move in with Farmer to take the next step in their relationship, he doesn't trust Killer in the kitchen, Nightmare with the security and his moodiness, and doesn't want to leave Dust or Palette in that situation without support. So he's holding off until Killer knows how to work a kitchen and there's more stability in the castle where he feels that he can leave without everything falling apart.

Shocking how he has to be the responsible one there.

"Hey, Error? Have you seen Goth's boyfriend?"Reaper asks, taking me out of my thoughts.

"PaLeTt3?"

"No, his boyfriend. Paps says that he has a boyfriend and best friend now."He says

"YeAh, iT's PaLeTtE."

"No, Palette is his best friend."He says

"AnD b0yfr1enD n0w."I say

"Oooh....Yeah, I think I remember now..."

"Y0u f0rg0t?"

"He came to me when I was very tired and asked about Goth so I didn't clearly recall until now...He seemed nervous..."

"YeAh, aSk1nG dEaTh h1ms3lF t0 dAtE h1s s0n c3rta1nlY w0uLd sEeM iNtImIdAtInG."I chuckle, shaking my head.

"And the destroyer of AUs isn't intimidating to him?"He asks

"He hAs kn0wN m3 l0ng3r aNd h3 kNeW tHaT h1s uNcl3 truStEd mE s0 h3 tRuStS m3."I say

I smile at him as he smiles after thinking it over.

"He does seem happy...So, when should we practice again?"He asks

I see his wings droop and his eyes fighting to stay open. I smirk, walking over to him and gently holding his hand with three fingers this time. 

"WhEn y0u g3t s0m3 pr0p3r sl3eP."I say

"Okay, Glitchy."He sighs, smiling as I lead him to his room.

"YeP, y0u s0uNd t1r3d. As iF y0u'r3 dr3aMiNg alr3aDy."I say

"It's always a dream being with you, Er."He coos

My face burns and I shake my head, stopping at the doorway to him bedroom.

"JusT g3t s0m3 sLeEp."I say, then go to take care of Shino.

I find a note slid under the front door and pick it, seeing that it's from Gaster. To the God Who Wrecks With Strings, I wish to speak with you. Join me for some tea. -The God Who Casts In Hands.

I roll my eyes, tossing it in the trash.

Not a chance. I don't trust him for a second and won't waste time listening to his nonsense.
