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

Error sighs softly, perched up on a windowsill in quiet anticipation.

Get in, get him, get out.

"5imp13 3n0ugh. D0 th3 j0b 4nd th3r3 wi11 b3 4 r3w4rd." Error opens the window, dropping in without a sound.

The room Error landed in is a room full of books.

Library.

Error flicks his gaze towards the door, moving quickly to hide behind a bookshelf as the door opens, revealing his target and his target's brother.

"Are you sure you'll be okay?"

"It's just my daily library visit."

"The Demon Lord may be planning something."

"Yeah yeah. Whatever. I can handle whoever comes my way."

"...."

"Dream, you worry too much! Go to the meeting, I'll be here when you get back." Dream sighs, simply leaving his target here alone. Error feels something well up, finding this all too easy.

He pulls out his sword, giddiness welling up further.

So easy.

"You can come out, Demon." Error blinks, hearing his target speak.

How-?

Error could swear he remained in the shadow.

No-

Error won't obey a lowly angel.

"I don't think you realize you don't have a choice." Error growls as he walks out of the shadow, fighting his own body. He is face to face with a very tiny purple and gold styled angel.

"50, h0w'd y0u c0ntr01 m3?"

"My brother is far more revealing of secrets than he should be for his own safety."

"50 y0u w0n't t311 m3."

"Correct. What are you doing here, Demon?"

"D0 y0u n33d m3 t0 t311 y0u th4t?"

"No. I was hoping you'd be honest for your own sake." Error blinks as he is thrown out of the window he entered from.

Error catches himself with his wings, flapping a few feet off the ground in thought.

Curious angel...

Error grins to himself.

But I have a job to do and I will not fail.

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

Error steps into the library again, finding his target waiting for him at the window seat.

"Hello."

"4r3 y0u g0nn4 thr0w m3 0ut 0f th3 wind0w 4g4in?"

"I haven't decided yet. Why are you here?"

"T0 ki11 y0u, duh." His target grins, seemingly proud.

"Awe, big bad demon daddy wants me dead? I'm flattered!" Error pauses, tilting his head in confusion. The target chuckles, never dropping the smirking smile on his face.

"I confused a Demon. Wow. Today is my lucky day. I should just buy a lottery ticket while I'm at it!"

"4r3...4r3 y0u b3ing 54rc45tic?"

"I'm being completely serious!" Error's target says, blepping out a gentle lavender tongue. Error growls, sitting on the floor with his back against the window seat.

"Y0u 4r3 0n3 5tr4ng3 4ng31." Error's target giggles softly, humming as he pulls a book up from the seat.

"Yeah, I get told that a lot. My brother seems to be utterly in disbelief at how strange I am. Heh." Error frowns, picking at the tear markings on his face, pulling some string free.

"Woah! You have strings?!"

"Y35." Error's target moves, laying on his belly and looking over Error's shoulder at Error's creation.

"I don't actually know your name Demon."

"It d035n't m4tt3r."

"It matters to me."

"If y0u mu5t kn0w, my n4m3 i5 3rr0r."

"Mine is Nightmare, though my brother calls me Night or Nighty. Like I'm a child." Nightmare huffs loudly.

"I'm older than him though!"

"Hmmm...y0u r3mind m3 0f 4 fri3nd 0f min3."

"Oh? Do I know them?" Error shrugs softly in response.

"Dunn0. Th3ir b4by br0th3r 1ik35 t0 b4by th3m 4 10t. Th4t'5 typic411y wh4t th3y c0mp14in3d 4b0ut wh3n w3 m3t up."

"Hmmm, curious. I wish you would tell me their name. If they are an angel, perhaps you two could meet more often, since you kinda intend to attack me?"

"I c4n't n0w. If I try, y0u'11 5cr34m 4nd I'11 n3v3r g3t 4n0th3r ch4nc3, 4nd I'm fr4nk1y t00 14zy."

"Then why not share their name?"

"Y0u'11 puni5h th3m f0r m33ting with m3. I 4m 4 d3m0n. N0 m4tt3r h0w y0u cut it." Nightmare purses his lips, huffing. Nightmare then gets a grin, leaning close to Error, who leans away from Nightmare.

"What if I promised...gave you my word that your friend wouldn't be punished for your friendship? Gave my word that you two would be completely safe from all of that? Would you tell me then?" Error turns his gaze to the frankly too close for comfort angel, shrugging again.

"M4yb3. M4yb3 n0t. H0w c4n I tru5t 4n 4ng31 4ft3r 411? Y0u 5t4rt3d th3 w4r 4 10ng tim3 4g0." Nightmare growls softly.

"We didn't."

"Uh-huh. I w45 th3r3. I w45 4 g3n3r41 3v3n b4ck th3n. I 54w th3 p34c3 0f th3 D3m0n5, Hum4n5, 4nd 4ng315. I 54w 45 4ng315 14nd3d th3 fir5t 5trik3. I 54w c0unt1355 c45u41ti35 c4u53d by th3 4ng315 0n b0th hum4n5 4nd d3m0n5." Nightmare looks down at his books, but Error is gazing at something far off.

"I m3t my fri3nd during th4t tim3. H3 w45 ju5t 45 c0nfu53d 45 y0u 4r3. H3 didn't und3r5t4nd. "Why w0u1d th3 41mighty 3v3r d0 50m3thing 1ik3 thi5?" H3'd 45k m3, 4nd I n3v3r h4d 4n 4n5w3r f0r him." Nightmare sighs softly.

"Why would the Demon Lord fight back? Assassinate our men?"

"B3c4u53 h3 w45 105ing th3 w4r. H3 w45 105ing th3 w4r, 4nd n33d3d t0 pr0t3ct hi5 p30p13."

"Well, I have a way to see which of us is right or wrong." Error turns to look at Nightmare, tilting his head, his eyelights shimmering and shifting in shape slightly.

"0h?" Nightmare stands, leading Error to the back wall of the library, then pressing his hand against a spot, a door appearing and opening.

"Come." Error follows Nightmare down the stairs, studying the runes etched in the walls. Eventually, the stairway flattens out and widens, opening into a chamber with a pool of water in it. Nightmare smiles, tilting his gaze from the pool to Error.

"This is the pool of memories. It replays the events as they were without any warping of your memories. It also has some memories prerecorded. That's why I've brought you here."

"0h?"

"Yes. There are so many memories of the same event recorded that the event is almost perfectly recorded."

"4nd th4t wi11 h31p h0w?"

"I think it'll be illuminating for you."

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

Error looks at Nightmare, sitting in the library and fiddling with his outfit, which Nightmare made. It's a mixture of yellow and blue and is a kinda princely garb like Nightmare's.

"4r3 y0u 5ur3...?"

"Yeah. Your friend won't hate you. Promise." Error sighs softly, before nodding.

"Right...Right...But...wh4t if h3 d035?" Nightmare rolls his eyes, shaking his head and smiling.

"Nightmare...I got your message about him...be thankful that my roommate doesn't read my mail." Error closes his eyes as he recognizes the voice of his friend.

"Error...I'm sorry..." Error blinks in surprise as his old friend hugs him gently.

"I wanted to tell...no...show you the truth, but...I was afraid of losing you...or causing you to act rashly and alert the Demon Lord to our friendship." Error sighs softly, hugging back, smiling gently and hesitantly.

"5ti11 int3nd t0 4t 1345t t41k t0 th3 D3m0n 10rd 4b0ut thi5. I'm 5ur3 it'5 4 mi5und3r5t4nding. 0n3 th4t c4n b3 345i1y r3m3di3d." Blue sighs softly, shaking his head.

"Promise you won't do anything stupid." Error looks between Blue and Nightmare, chuckling mischievously with a small grin.

"Y0u kn0w I c4n't pr0mi53 th4t."

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

Error pants softly, ignoring the fire and the smoke, coughing as he flies around.

"NIGHTM4R3! NIGHTM4R3! 4n5w3r m3!" Error stumbles into the burning library, finding the Demon Lord holding Nightmare by the neck.

"Ink! Put Nightm4r3 d0wn! W3 c4n t41k 4b0ut thi5!" Ink turns, sending both a gentle and yet bone-chilling smile to Error.

"Error...I'm doing this for you. I've done all of this for you." Error looks between Nightmare and Ink, furrowing his brow.

"Wh4t d0 y0u m34n?" Ink hums softly, a thoughtful look on his face upon gazing at Nightmare.

"Because of this angel, you've become soft and weak. You've ceased in your fun. Don't try to pretend you don't enjoy doing demonic things. You're only ceasing because of this pathetic angel."

"D0n't! H3'5 n0t p4th3tic. H3'5 b3tt3r th4n I c0u1d 3v3r b3..."

"Error. When did you ever concern yourself with how other people saw you? You fell down because so many people saw you as a demon. So many that even you began to believe that reality. Who saved you from a life of purgatory when you entered hell? Who's been by your side? Willing to raze Heaven for you? Willing to show all these bastards the best parts of you? Who has encouraged you to be unashamedly yourself? And who protected you when people tried to change you?" Error looks at the ground, knowing the answer.

"It was me. It wasn't this angel or that other one. It was me. I stuck with you. I protected you. Saved you. I've been willing to do whatever it took to make your life better. To make you see that unlike these angels, I stand by you for who you are, all of the person you can be." Error sighs, turning his gaze to Ink.

"4nd y3t, y0u 4r3 ju5t my b055. B1u3 w45n't 4fr4id 0f m3, n0t 1ik3 h0w th3 p30p13 und3r y0ur b00t 4r3 4fr4id 0f m3. Y0u 54y y0u w4nt t0 5h0w th3 w0r1d wh0 I 4m, but y0u d0n't. Y0u w4nt th3 w0r1d t0 f34r m3."

"Show the world who you are is to cause fear in them. They, all of them, will never understand you as I do. And as long as they don't understand you, they will fear you."

"4nd wh0'5 f4u1t i5 th4t?"

"Those close-minded individuals who will never truly understand you." Error growls softly.

"But y0u c0u1d h4v3 ju5t 13t it b3! If y0u tru1y c4r3d 4b0ut m3, y0u'd h4v3 533n I didn't w4nt t0 ru13 th3 w0r1d! I ju5t w4nt3d t0 b3-"

"What? Loved? Weak creatures desire something as fleeting as love."

"You'll never trick him again. He's seen through your lies. He desires something, he has always been desiring something you could never give him." Error shakes his head slightly, trying to get Nightmare to shut up.

"Thank you for confirming my suspicion."

"Ink...p13453...d0n't d0 thi5. 13t'5 t41k 4b0ut thi5..."

"We have been talking about this. But it seems you'll need a reminder why love is weak. And what happens to people who only seek and desire love, as if the world is a utopia." Ink's voice rolls out like a cold fog as he focuses on Nightmare, tightening his grip.

"Love makes us stronger. It makes us alive. It allows us to live after death. I suppose you'd never understand that, Demon Lord." Ink's face drops to an emotionless neutral as he snaps Nightmare's neck.

"N0!"

"His belief in your love got him killed. He believed you would save him. But we both know the truth. He isn't the one who needed saving, Error. You are."
