Ink's POV

A soft poke on my nose bridge gently pulled me from my slumber. My eyes opened slowly. Nightmare was laying in front of me. He was staring at me with a tired grin.

Nightmare: Morning Kit.

I smiled warmly.

Me: You haven't called me that in a long time.

Nightmare: I thought I'd bring it back. I found this in my drawer.

He handed me a small tag. Mine from the camp.

I didn't know why this was in his room. Nightmare looked like he wanted to say something. He seemed nervous. He held my hand.

Nightmare: Ink, I'm... I'm in love with you.

I was shocked but soon smiled.

Me: No you're not.

Nightmare: What?

Me: You think you do. The love that's already there, the platonic love, is what you really feel. You're actually in love with Cross. I see the way you look at him. You may not know it yet but you love him.

He stared at me without any emotion.

Me: I love you but as a friend. I hope this doesn't damage our relationship.

Nightmare genuinely smiled.

Nightmare: No, it doesn't.

(Time Skip)

I sat on Error's bed, crying. I felt like I broke Nightmare's soul. Error held me close to him. He rubbed circles on my back and whispered to me sweetly.

Error: Ink, it's okay. Please don't cry.

I gripped his sweater tightly. I couldn't help but let the tears roll down. The world seemed to look down upon me. My only safety was Error. He shielded me from unwanted outside forces.

Error: Look at me, Ink.

I stuffed myself further into his chest and refused to let him see me. He sighed while putting his index finger under my chin. His finger guided my line of sight to him. Error wiped away my tears with his thumb and stared into my eyes with a loving expression. Slowly he leaned in and kissed me. It deepened with love and passion. He pulled away so we could breathe.

Error: I have an idea.

Me: What is it?

Error: We do something fun today.

Me: Like what?

Error: We stop by Melted Ross.

Me: That really expensive fondue restaurant?

Error: Yeah.

Me: That sounds lovely. A very simple but fancy day.

Error: I have more plans for today.

(Time Skip)

Error and I sat in a secluded room at the Melted Ross. Error was dressed in a button down shirt and blank formal pants. I wore a flowy black shirt with a layer of white lace. I also wore loose black pants. A small beige scarf that resembled my normal one, was wrapped around my neck.

Error held a long utensil that had a bite sized piece of sponge cake that was dripping with warm liquid chocolate. He leaned forward slightly and put the food in my mouth. The warm chocolate coated my tongue with a sugary taste. The cake had a soft touch which gave my mouth an extra sweet feeling.

The table had many small bowls of various foods, a chocolate dip, and a cheese dip. Sitting on the edge was a bottle of red wine and scotch. The window was decorated with stained glass and a light hung from the ceiling. A red glass dome that was shaped like a rose surrounded the light bulb. This room alone could rival the most beautiful building in existence. I'm surprised there wasn't any wait because this restaurant was very well know throughout the country. In the corner sat a radio that represented one from the 40s. It was playing smooth jazz.

(Time Skip)

After we enjoyed the food, we danced to the music. I felt the most confident when I'm alone with Error. Both of his hands were on my hips and my arms were wrapped his neck. We swayed together, not caring where we were or what time it was.

Error bent down and planted a small kiss on my neck. The tingling sensation ran throughout my body.

Error: Ink.

Me: Yeah?

Error: Can I ask you a question?

Me: Go ahead.

We let go of each other. Error brought out a box and opened it. Inside was a white gold ring.

Me: What's that?

Error: A promise ring. I wanted to ask you this. Will you date me?

I jumped into his arms and kissed him.

Me: Yes! I'm acting like you're asking me to marry you but I don't care.

(Time Skip)

I cuddled closer to Error to stay warm. We sat in our hidden place in the park. Error wrapped his arms around me and he rested his head on my shoulder. I couldn't look away from the ring that was around my finger.

I began to yawn uncontrollably. Error noticed and teleported us back home. He kissed me tonight and left.

Error's POV

For some reason, I couldn't sleep. I had a bad feeling, like something was going to happen. Just to make sure, I went back to Ink's room. I was terrified by what I saw. Ink was sleeping peacefully but... that wasn't the problem. Standing over him was the same person from a few days ago. The house was fixed because Ink used his magic but the stranger was back. The mysterious man caressed Ink's cheek.

???: So naive. When are you going to tell him what you really did? That you created the beast that fuels all the current problems in the country. You're the reason why the monsters will die. Starting with him.

He said as he pulled out a knife. I didn't let him make another move. Not even a second later, his disconnected limbs were sprawled out along the floor. His body dusted, leaving no evidence that he even existed.

'So he was a monster. How strange.'

As soon as I let myself calm down, I quickly walked over to Ink. I held him tightly and started to cry. He woke up.

Ink: Error, what's wrong?

Me: Nothing, I just...

Had a bad feeling
