When I woke up, I could see again. That's good. But something was different. I was no longer in the anti-void. I was now in unfamiliar surroundings. Plus, I wasn't even wearing my usual clothes! Instead of my usual sweater with red shirt underneath and shorts, I had a jacket with freshly sewn stitch marks, with the red shirt underneath, as well as a pair of newly made shorts as well. I had a blue scarf on as well. I still had my slippers. The outfit felt cozy, but due to the situation and lack of info, I wanted my old clothes back. 

Basically instead of that, I looked like this..below

I saw that I was on a couch, with my glasses resting on a nearby table. I quickly grab them and tuck them in a pocket of the outfit. I roll up the sleeves to find bandages on both my arms, which were hurting badly. Then, I remembered everything. I put a hand on the edge of the couch to feel something. I look to see it was the Ink puppet. I felt my face light up so I tuck it away as well. I get up and look around. 

I was in a house, most likely a living room based on the setup. There were colorful walls, the couch I was on, a pair of chairs, tables and a television. There was a doorway, a set of stairs leading to a hall with multiple doors, and of course the front door. I thought I was alone in the house and got curious, so I decided to take a look around. This was probably Ink's house or the Star Sanses place. I went through the doorway to find it was a kitchen with a note resting on the counter. I curiously go over and read it.

"Note to self: Fix error's torn clothes and take arrows out of them. Give chocolate to Error. -Ink"

It was probably one of his self-reminders. I've seen his scarf get covered in them or he'd leave these notes everywhere in the anti-void. Underneath this note was a chocolate bar. I smile. Ink knew me well. I turn away from the chocolate and note, curious about the hall with doors at the top of the stairs. 

I go up the stairs and saw bathrooms, probably for any visiting humans. There were countless closets, which had great hiding spots in case Dream or other Star Sanses attack me. I continue down the hall and see labeled doors. Dream's, Ink's,Frisk's, etc. I hear a familiar sound coming from Blue's labeled room. His usual laugh.

"Mwhehehe! Don't worry, Ink! The Magnificent Sans is an expert at fixing tears caused by Dream! He tore my scarf once after all. I'll have it fixed in a jiffy! I'll also give Dream some discipline! You're right! That was uncalled for! But I bet Error likes his current clothes you had sketched up! Besides, the roles have swapped! The caretaker becomes the cared for!"I hear Blue say

I place my hand against a wall to support myself as I try to peek inside. There sat Blue on a bed, sewing my clothes which had holes from Dream's arrows. He's way too nice. He seems so innocent, which fits his role as a Star Sans and my friend, along with Ink now.

Blue does know me well. Now that I knew it was from them and that I'm here with them, I feel safe and cozy.

"Thank you, Blue. I hope he does. I tried to take his interests and likings into account with it. I just feel that I should return the favor for what he did. He let me stay and heal, so it's only fair that I do the same right? Plus, we made a truce! If I don't create AUs, he won't destroy!"Ink explains, catching my attention

He was hardly visible from where I was peeking in, but I could see him. He was sitting on a desk, his brush in his lap, eyes still changing at every blink. That was normal. But there was something else. His face had that bright rainbow glow across his face again. He looked like some rainbow candy, what are they called? Oh ya, skittles. Those things. He looked like the skittles had mixed together and were squashed to liquids somehow and painted across his face. It was strange, yet fascinating.

"Oh, so are you still enemies in this truce? Or are you friends like Error and I are?"Blue asks

"Well, uh, when it comes to the truce, we are enemies. But when the truce doesn't have to do with the situation, I'd say we're friends."Ink states

Blue nods and it seemed the conversation ended. Blue tucked my clothes somewhere I couldn't see. I didn't mind. They were helping me and fixing them. Besides, I do like this new outfit. Ink looks out Blue's window. Blue began reading a book on how to make tacos.

I take the chance to knock at the door, making it appear like I WASN'T peeking, watching and listening the past time. A bone was shot through the small space between the door and door frame.

"If that's you Dream, you got some explaining to do! The Magnificent Sans is not happy with you!"Blue snaps, unaware that it was me and sending a second bone out.

I tried to dodge the bone attacks. In the process, I fell backward and hit the floor, the bones piercing the wall. I was so shaking, weakly trying to get back up.

"0w. SoRrY BluE."I say, sitting up.

"Error? Oh! It's you! Wait!"Blue says

The door flew open and Ink was standing in the doorway. A blue blur ran past him and I was tackle hugged against the floor again.

"The Magnificent Sans is sorry for mistaking you for Dream and attacking! I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions over a simple knock! Are you okay? Did any hit you? I hate hurting friends."Blue says

"It'S 0k. iT hApPeNs. HeH, y0u sAy tHaT bUt YoU wErE wIlLin' T0 hURt DrEaM, anD aRen't YOu hIs FrIEnD? I'm 0k, n0nE hIt mE. I jUst fElL d0dGiNg tHeM."I say

"That's different! He did a bad thing and the Magnificent Sans will not allow it! The Magnificent Sans does not allow friends to hurt others! Especially if the other is another friend. I'm glad you're okay! Now Ink won't panic anymore!"Blue states

He cares enough to worry about me? He was panicking about me?

"Blue!"Ink snaps

"What? It's true!"Blue says

"He didn't need to know that detail!"Ink states

"Huh? I don't understand, Ink. Wait, OOOH! I see and get it."Blue says, tease in his voice at the last sentence

"Blue, do I need to remind you of code 22B?"Ink asks

"EEP! No! Not 22B! Brother already did it to me yesterday!"Blue yelps, then runs off.

"WhAT's 22B?"I ask as I get up, using the wall to support myself

"Tickles. If he starts giving issues or messing around too much, he will recieve tickles. A tickle attack basically. Let's just say we enjoy using it, especially his brother."Ink explains

"Ah, 0k....CaN i dO iT?"I ask

"Go ahead."Ink says

I grin and use my strings to swing myself down the hall, over the stairs and landing behind where Blue was hiding.

"HeY, BlUE,"I say in an innocent voice

"Oh, hey, Error! What's up?"Blue asks, nervously turning to face me

"22B, tHaT's WhAt!"I cheer, then tickle him

"Mweheheheheh! Mwehehehehehehehehehehehe! Mwehehe, E-Error, p-please, mwhehe, STOP!"Blue pleas

"HmM, k."I say, releasing him and getting up. 

I turn around, my arms crossed to hold and protect the injuries. I could stand now and support myself. I smile and gaze at my surroundings. My gaze focused on Ink, who sat on the couch. I went and sat next to him.

"Hey, Error, I see you made an Ink puppet."Blue says

I turn my head and see Blue was holding the Ink puppet. Dang it. Must've fell out of my pocket. I hesitantly nod, unsure where this was going. Ink hands me the chocolate bar and I munch on it after unwrapping it.

"But you say that you never take puppets out of the anti-void with you unless you really like it. Does that mean you really like the Ink puppet? And would that mean y-"Blue asks with a tease in his tone and fake innocence as he hands me the puppet.

He was cut off by me choking in shock on some chocolate I was munching on. I glare at Blue and tickle him away. He cannot say what I know he is gonna say! 

No! I don't even know if I feel that way! No! Just no! Not now! He is my friend! I don't want him to feel uncomfortable!

I hear a door open. I panicked and swung myself with my strings up the stairs, running to a closet, diving in and shutting it behind me.I crawled behind towels, extra clothes, etc. I was perfectly  hidden in the back of it, unable to be seen in one of the hiding spots I had recognized. I made sure nothing peeked out or gave me away. I didn't move, terrified. The Ink puppet and my thoughts were my only companions as I sat there in fear. 

 I heard muffled conversation that grew to arguments. I recognized Blue's, Ink's, and Dream's. I freeze, scared that Dream was gonna find me. Soon, I heard Blue sending Dream to the "Bad Skeleton Corner". I was silent. I heard footsteps. I didn't move, my grip on the puppet tightening. The closet door opens, and I didn't dare do anything. A con to the spot was that I couldn't see out, just like how whoever looks in the closet could not see me.

"I'm gonna get some pillows and blankets for Error to use. I want Error to feel safe and comfy while he stayed to heal, despite Dream's actions. Or should I let him stay in my room and I rest in the living room on the couch? I do end up falling asleep there anyway and Dream wouldn't dare go into my room of all places for any reason, he knows the consequence to invading other's property."a voice says, recognized as Ink.

"That's nice of you, Ink. The Magnificent Sans agrees that it would be safer for him in your room. If he's on the couch, who knows what Dream may do. Besides, I hooked up some security to the rooms. A Frisk wanted some more security, like a button to press in case there was trouble, which could protect anyone. But it's honestly up to Error. Speaking of Error, I'm gonna find him!"I hear Blue say, followed by running footsteps away

Ink kept reaching through the closet after grabbing some blankets. He then touched my hand that I had rested on a towel. I felt my face light up. Ink's hand shot back, he was probably shocked to feel a hand. His hand returned, probably to investigate. I thought fast as the hand reached closer and closer to me, crawling its way through the closet carefully and blindly. I place the Ink puppet where our hands had touched and the hand reached it, feeling it carefully. Luckily, I made the hand stuffed more than the rest of the puppet, besides the head and feet, making it more solid of a feeling. The hand took the puppet and I heard Ink make some thinking noises, most likely examining it.

"Guess he looked in here in his rush, looking for a spot but left it when he couldn't find one. Better return it when Blue finds him."Ink said to himself

Little did he know I did find one. I waited for him to leave and blindly teleported to a random new spot. I lift my head and bang it against something.

"Ow!"I yelled

At that moment, a new hand reached at me. A blue-gloved one. I knew it was Blue and I realized my face was still bright, so I lifted my scarf to hide it. Blue's hand grabbed me and pulled me out. I was placed on my feet and Blue gave me a sly smirk. I wiggle the fingers of my free hand at him to remind him of what I can do. His slyness disappeared quickly. He gestures around me. I look around to see colors and sketches spread across the walls. The bed was rainbow but lack the pillows. I realized that I had hid under the bed. Art supplies and sketchbooks were littered everywhere. A desk and chair were covered in post-its with little reminders. A button was hooked onto each wall, probably the security Blue was talking about. I didn't have to look at the door label to know whose it was.

"Hey, Ink! I found Error! I think he feels safe in here anyways so he may stay here for the night! Cause guess where I found him!"Blue yells

Ink came running over and he looks at me. He checked me for any additional injuries while Blue explained where he found me. I refused to lower my scarf and he returned me my puppet. The two told me their plan for the night and I agreed to it and thanked them. Blue left and Ink stayed, setting up blank pillows onto the bed. He then, suddenly, hugs me and whispers an apology again for Dream's behavior. I told him it was fine and all.

"I'm glad you are okay.....Okay, but I'm gonna talk to him and try to get the point across to him as well as get answers from him."Ink says

Ink then left me there in his room before I could say anything. I notice a single book open on the desk. I go over and curiously read it. It had sketches of....Ink? And....me? I turn the pages to find sketches of us as friends, in battle, then I come across one in particular. It was recent, like a little while ago recent.

What the heck was this? Why was our scarves tied together? Why was there a soul dangling above our heads? Was he tying my scarf on me? He has to know his face goes rainbow because I see the detail in this sketch! Why? Did he draw this while I was out on the couch? I'm so confused and have so many questions. I could feel my face light up but I slam the book shut and simply rest my head in bed, wishing to sleep it off. I held the puppet close, though.
