Ink trod cautiously through the dimly lit forest,a small handheld lamp being the only thing that was guiding him as the sun lowered at a significantly fast rate,the darkness was slowly creeping onto the valley and he had walked quite the way away from the castle,he decided that he didn't want to have to spend the night out here and there was no way he could find his way back if it got any darker so,reluctantly,he turned around,but not before getting a glimpse of some footsteps out of the corner of his eye,footsteps that looked like...slippers!...and not just any slippers,they were error's slippers,how could he tell? He couldn't but who else would be walking around in slippers in the middle of dreamtales woods,especially at this time of the day since the prints looked fresh

He turned back to the footsteps and made the decision that he had to follow them,since they were his only lead,and a pretty good one at that,he made his way along the path that error had seemingly taken and continued on until he reached what looked like some kind of cliff,it overlooked a small lake and was also where the footprints ended,what,or more specifically,who had been walking had obviously tripped and fallen off of this cliff and into the water,Maybe error was down there somewhere!

Ink wrapped a rope around a tree and began to lower himself down,but,somewhere along the way,he lost his footing and tumbled down,falling right onto the ground and missing the lake with a sickening *crack* that indicated the possible breaking of one of his bones,though he prayed to asgore that it wasn't his-"LEG!" He hissed in pain at the contact his foot had made with the ground,he had tried to get up but had obviously failed in doing so,resulting in him plopping right back down again and yelping in pain,at this point lil inky boi was frustrated,now he couldn't find his way home and he couldn't even walk to attempt to do so,he had thought that all hope was lost until he heard a glitched chuckle from behind him...

"Heh,having trouble there oh mighty creator?"

"Error?"

"No it's the tooth fairy"

"Error"ink grumbled

"So? You gonna help me or what"

"Ugh fine"

"Wait really?"

"Nothin' better to do since my magic isn't working properly"

"It isn't?"

"Nope,seems all your wizard shit has made my magic go more out of whack than it already was,I can't make portals of summon my strings,well,I can,but they're just like limp noodles and don't do anything"

"Pfft,limp noodles?"

"Shut up,its not like you're any better"

"Fair"

"Anyways,my healing magic kinda works as well but it's not as effective,I can help with the leg but I can't fully heal it"

"Ah,got it,so where exactly are we going to sleep,it's too late and dark to go back to the castle and my leg is all messed up,we'd never make it back"

"Well I made a noodle tent over there by tying a bunch of my strings to two trees"

"That could work"

Error made a string and tied it around the creators good leg,dragging him to the tent by it since there was no way in hell that he was touching that glitch

"Really?"

Ink huffed while being dragged away

"What? Do you want me to touch you? Sheesh kid calm down"

Ink's face flushed rainbow but error didn't seem to notice,once they had a makeshift camp set up with a little fire and the noodle tent they went to sleep wondering what the next day would bring...

A few hours later:

"...ngghhh..."

"...mmrrmff..."

"...nggAH"

Error awoke breathlessly,gasping for air after the nightmare he had just experienced,he looked over to the side at the sleeping skeleton that lied next to him,as the dim light of dawn fell upon them and the sun began to rise,the beautiful shimmering sunrise reflecting off of his skull was truly a beautiful sight and error had to admit that he did look quite cute,Wait,cute!?!

"Wha- he's not,Ugh Shut up brain"

" *yawn* did you say something?"

"Uh,n-no!"

"Uhh,Okay then,so how are we going to get food"

"Huh?"

"Ya' know,food,since we definitely aren't going to be able to make it back today thanks to my injury and that damn cliff but we still need to eat"

"R-right"

Ink luckily didn't notice the yellow blush that had dusted error's face,he quickly covered it up in a...strange...way,and said way was done by rushing over to the nearby lake and shoving his head in it

"What the-error what are you doing"

"..."

"There was some bugs on my face"

"...okayyy,anygays-I mean anyways,that just gave me an idea,you could use your strings to fish"

Error considered this idea and figured he had nothing to lose anyways so why the hell not,he gathered some worms and tied them to a string while ink made some kind of cooking thing out of sticks and stuff to put the fish on over the fire

"Holy-I caught one!"

"Cool,bring it over and I can cook it"

Error took the small fish to ink and they cooked it over the fire,once they were done they split the fish and ate it,in all honesty it wasn't much bu5 for these two it was at least some form of accomplishment since they hadn't really been to connected with the natural world due to usually being pretty busy either fighting,planning a fight,doing whatever the fuck they do indoors or spending time in void-like places

After a bit of doing whatever and ink annoying the fuck out of error they noticed that inks leg was actually healing pretty fast and they would probably make the journey back by tomorrow,just one more night of rest should do the trick thanks to error's healing magic,since,as we have already established,they are all probably pretty much wizards by now with all those spells and magic do-dads 

It had been about a day of being completely stranded in the middle of nowhere and the sun was beginning to set,ink and error sat by the edge of the lake as the light of day faded from the now lilac sky,a darker blue colour phased into the atmosphere as the stars slowly became visible,shining beautifully,Error let out a sigh,the wonderfully familiar sight reminding him of outertales solar system,he rested his hand on the ground as ink did the same,but his hand was rested on top of errors...

"SCREEEEEE"

Error let out a glitched scream as his haphephobia became more visible,he almost fell over causing ink to giggle at his clumsy ness,his eyes glinting in the fluorescent moonlight and a sense of happiness radiating off of him,making error feel calm and safe,a rare feeling for him especially around this particular skeleton,he got up and strolled back over to the makeshift tent as a blushing mess,he crawled into the string blanket he made and fell asleep,ink soon following in the same actions...

BOOM! FINALLY SOME CUTE ERROR X INK SHIT!!!!!

I have been putting this off for far too long in this story so I'm glad I kinda got some in there,I'm not too good when it comes to writing romance (despite the fact that it's the focus of most,if not all of my stories) so I hope this isn't total crap and sorry if it is ;-;

Okay this is gonna sound dumb but when I was writing about the cliff and the lake and stuff I immediately thought of the setting of the original 'how to train your dragon' movie and now I can't get that thought of night fury Error and light fury ink out of my head like oml why

Also the reason I haven't put any art on this or the previous two chapters is because I've had some shit going down at home and I can't access my drawing tablet but I still wanted to get some chapters out for you guys yeet

Blah blah blah keep on being beautiful bitches~
