Error's POV

Ever since the rookies joined, Horror and that Cross guy have been at each other's throats twenty-four fucking seven. It gets annoying sometimes but mostly, it's entertaining. Nightmare and I were watching them go at it again.

Horror: That's it!

Cross: That's it what?

Horror: That's why I hate you so much. It's your voice. Your prepubescent, Hispanic, cock-sucking voice. It makes me feel like I'm dragging my balls against shattered glass. And it hurts, it fucking hurts.

Cross spoke in a Spaniard accent because he was from Spain. But it wasn't as heavy as Horror was implying it to be.

Cross: You want to know something güey. Every time I see your face, it's like Jesus is shitting in my eyes. And it burns like hell.

Horror was fixing to punch Cross when someone knocked on the door.

Nightmare: I'll get it.

Ink's POV

I knocked on the door with a smile. I was heartbroken but I didn't want Nightmare to worry. Oh who am I kidding it probably won't work anyway. He always seems know my emotions.

Nightmare opened the door and immediately smiled. However that smile quickly vanished.

'Why did it have to be you to open the door?'

He has already noticed my sadness. Then everything happened so fast that I couldn't comprehend it. Once I did, I realized that Nightmare was giving me hug a with all of his tendrils wrapped around me. His head resting on my shoulder.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nightmare's POV

Who hurt you? Who fucking hurt you?! I hugged Ink to shield him from the world. I didn't want him to get hurt again. I felt an indescribable amount of anger boil inside. No one hurts Ink. I didn't want to let go but I had to.

Me: Hey, you want to talk about it?

Ink: Not right now. I'm guessing that I need to introduce myself to the rookies.

Me: How did you know about that?

Ink: Error texted me.

'Since when did Error give Ink his phone number?'

Me: Um, okay? Anyway, come on in.

As soon as Ink walked in, Horror's expression soften and he smiled. Horror waved at Ink and walked out of the room.
Cross walked over to us and held out his hand for Ink to shake it.

Cross: Hola, mucho gusto. Mi llamo Cross.
(Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Cross.)

Ink: Hola, mucho gusto también. Yo soy Ink.
(Hello, nice to meet you as well. I am Ink.)

Cross: Tú habla español?
(You speak Spanish?)

Ink: Un poco, si.
(A little, yes.)

'What the hell is going on, I'm so confused'

Me: Can both you speak English please? I'm still the boss here so I need to know what you're saying.

Ink: Sorry.

Cross: Lo siento.

Suddenly, Cross got a call in his phone.

Cross: Excuse me but I have to answer this call.

He answered.

Cross: Hola, Mamá...

Ink turned to me with a shit-eating grin. He started mouthing to me.

Ink: Bang him.

I started mouthing back.

Me: Hell no!

Ink: Come on, you need someone in your love life, you're lonely.

I whispered to him with sadness in my voice.

Me: But I have you.

Ink: I'm your best friend. You're like my brother. However, you need someone to love you back in a romantic way.

Cross came back which caused Ink and I to shut up.

Cross: What were we talking about again?

Me: Ink was just introducing himself.

Ink: Yeah, it was nice to meet you Cross but I have to go to my room to do something. See you later.

Ink walked off which left me and Cross in awkward silence. Then I felt a strong wave of sadness come from Ink's bedroom. He was crying!

'I'm coming, Ink'

Me: Go back to what you were doing before. I have something important to take care of.

Cross: Uh, okay.

Ink's POV

Once I closed my door, I turned around and leaned against it. I slid down to the floor and curled into a ball. I felt hot tears streaming my face. The watered down ink staining my white cheeks.

I heard a knock on my door so I quickly wiped away my tears. I didn't bother opening the door.

Me: Who is it?

???: It's me.

I recognized that voice on the other side of the door. It was the deep glitching voice of Error.

Me: Oh hey, Error.

Error: You're crying.

Me: No... I-I'm not.

Error: Yes you are. May I come in?

Me: Yes.

I stood up and opened the door. It seemed like Error was sitting down and leaning against it because all of a sudden, he was laying on the ground. He was staring up at me with a cheeky grin.

I giggled, he always seemed to make me smile when I'm sad. I held out my hand for him to grab it. He grabbed it and pulled himself off the ground.

Error: Come here.

He opened his arms for an embrace. I graciously accepted his offer. It's not everyday Error puts aside his phobia of touching another person.

I felt a strange warm feeling being in his arms. I don't know why but I wanted to stay like this forever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Error's POV

I appreciate Nightmare for telling me about Ink.

I looked down at Ink. Damn, he's cute. I blame myself for not telling him about my feelings back at the training camp. I felt my pants starting to move.

'Fuck, not now'

I gently pushed him away and stared into his eyes. I could get lost in them for eternity. I felt like a love sick puppy. I always chased after Ink. However, knowing about him and his Canadian boyfriend, it was like I was on a leash, unable to go anywhere. Why Ink? Why can't you see that love is right in front of you. Because...

I love you
Now and always
