Ink's POV

  I felt myself slowly wake up. The back of my knees were warm. Pushing myself up, I saw that Mello was curled in a ball. My hand gently rubbed the top of her head which made a smile appear on my face.

  After a few minutes of silence, I finally decided to get up from bed. I was still in my clothes from yesterday.

Opening a drawer, I pulled out a brown sweater and a pair of black sweatpants. It was the weekend so I didn't have to wear anything nice. The finishing touch was my brown scarf.

Before exiting my bedroom, I picked up Mello to carry her over my shoulder.

The house was silent but there was a faint sound from the kitchen. Quietly stepping in front of the doorway, I saw my guardian sitting at the counter. I noticed that Error was wearing glasses.

Error was staring at papers while typing on a calculator. Occasionally he would write something. He was talking to himself.

Error: The company's budget is up five percent. Meaning our goal for next week needs to be ten percent higher.

He groaned as he took off his glasses before tossing onto the counter. A sound was created when the plastic hit the marble.

Error: Why does taxes have to be so fucking hard?

Mello suddenly meowed, causing Error to look up at me. He sighed as he put his glasses back on.

Error: Sit down.

  He said as he sat up straight. I put Mello down before slowly approaching him. I sat on a stool, hanging my head down.

Error: How was your rest, Ink?

Me: It was fine, I guess.

  My guardian suddenly sighed and rested against his elbows, his hands supporting his head.

Error: I'm sorry for yelling at you last night. I was a bit drunk so I didn't have full control of myself.

Me: Why were you drunk?

Error: I drink when I'm stressed.

Me: Well I... I forgive you.

  We sat in silence for a few minutes until Error finally broke it.

Error: Can I take you out for dinner as an apology? Is that okay with you?

  I felt myself blush rainbow but eventually nodded slowly.

Error put his glasses back and began working again. I stood up from my stool, heading to the fridge to get myself a soft drink.

Error: Ink.

I hummed in response while taking a sip from my soda.

Error: Do you have any homework?

Me: Yeah.

He patted a spot on the counter near him.

Error: Bring it here, I will help.

I almost choked on my drink since I was surprised he volunteered to help.

(Time Skip)

My guardian sat next to me, drinking from a glass of wine. He watched me as I wrote answers for my math homework.

Me: Is this correct?

Error checked his paper. He was working the questions next to me so he could point out my mistakes.

Error: You're wrong, Ink.

He pointed at a point on the paper.

Error: That's supposed to be minus three.

I realized my mistake.

Me: Oh. Okay, I see it.

My guardian took a sip from his wine before speaking again.

Error: Make sure you check your work because that small mistake can completely throw off your answer.

He checked the time.

Error: Let's take a break. It's time to go get dinner. If we leave in a few minutes, we won't have to wait. Go get dressed into something a little better.

I nodded, leaving the kitchen and to my bedroom. I changed my pants to jeans but didn't bother to change my brown sweater.

When I entered the living room, I saw Error tying a neck tie. He noticed me through the mirror that he was using.

Error: Ready, Ink?

Me: Yeah.

We got into the car and drove to an unknown location, eventually stopping at a fancy restaurant.

After being seated, I looked around at my surroundings. Everything was fancy, from the smallest napkin to the chandelier hanging by the ceiling.

While eating, I couldn't help but think about why Error asked to...

Eat dinner with him
