Blue watched when the others spent time with Error. He tried to determine if their emotions were real or not. Nightmare and Killer actually seemed legit in their emotions for Error. Dust and Horror still seemed on the fence with theirs. Then there was Ink and Dream. Ink didn't have real emotions to begin with so he was extremely hard to read, Blue didn't know what Ink's 'real emotions' really looked like. Dream was the Guardian of Positivity and thus it was hard for Blue to tell if Dream ever harbored any negative emotion towards Error, not to mention if the positive emotions he exhibited were things dealing in love or not. "it w-ears of-f in a f-ew da-ys.." Blue snapped out of his thoughts. "IT DOES, DOESN'T IT?" Error nodded and Blue took his hand. "SCARED?" Error nodded again. "i-ve fa-ll-en fo-r th-em a-ll. th-e id-ea of th-em wa-lk-ing aw-ay is terr-ifin-g... b-but... th-is wa-s ne-ver su-pp-osed to hap-pen in the f-irs-t pl-ace.." Blue squeezed Error's hand. " IT'LL BE OK, ERROR. THOUGH I'D SUGGEST TELLING THEM WHAT YOU TOLD ME WHEN IT DOES WEAR OFF. THEY DESERVE AN EXPLANATION." Error gave a hesitant nod. Blue was right. It was the least he could do after all this.

💘💘💘

Kiki. That's what Error called him. He liked it too, Kiki. And in return he called him Ruru. No. Actually it was the other way around, wasn't it? Ink always did have a bad memory. He supposed it came with the territory of having no soul and no emotions. That was... until he did have emotions. He was shocked at first. How could he suddenly feel love? And for Error of all Skeletons! He wasn't supposed to have a soul, Fate took that from him. Yet here he was, calling Error Ruru, loving him with all his nonexistent soul. Or he thought it was nonexistent. He had a dream the other night. A human approached him with a jar in her hands. She'd asked him if he wanted what had belonged to him and he replied, "well, yeah! if it's mine, i'd love to have it back!" And when he woke up, it was there, in his ribcage. His soul. Something told him that if this whole thing with Error hadn't happened, he would have never gotten his soul back. He was thankful to that strange girl and to Ruru for giving him the opportunity to meet her. He owed Ruru his soul now for this.

Dream didn't know how he came to suddenly love Error, but it did give a chance to get to know the glitchy Skeleton and understand why he destroyed. He became increasingly aware, however, that he hadn't even attempted to destroy an au in the last three or so months. That lead Dream to two theories. One was that he was jealous that everyone had what he wanted and destroyed aus out of spite. Two was that it was because Ink wasn't creating anymore thus he wasn't destroying. A balance sort of thing. And if that was the case than that would mean that the Star Sanses had been in the wrong the entire time. When Dream realized that, he desperately wanted to make it up to Error and as a result got closer to him in terms of a relationship. Error was actually a really great guy if he wasn't being paranoid. He wouldn't mind staying with Error, if Error wanted.
