Chapter 3: Mismatching

(Art up there by me)

Error groaned as the glitches slowly left his sockets, his cheek stung badly. Glitching, he tried to sit up, pulling against his restraints. Not having enough upper body strength to lift himself up, Error rolled to his side, quickly spotting the blurry form of Red who was laying down a good few feet away from him. Uhg... how many times had he crashed by now? Twice? Thrice? Dangit, Error couldn't count right now... his head felt like there was a swarm of bees buzzing around inside it, stinging the inside of his skull in a mad attempt to get out. Ah, a headache. He paused, squinting at Red. Was he asleep? Was he awake? If he was awake then was he just staring off into space or at Error? He couldn't tell.

This was so boring... Ink was probably out there celebrating with how long it's been since Error last destroyed an AU. Well, it might've not been that long. It could have been a millisecond in the multiverse while in the Antivoid only an hour would have gone by. Or maybe it has only been a year in the multiverse and by now and Ink had forgotten about him. Either way, it was just how time in the Antivoid worked. Error, despite hopping in and out of the Anti-void all the time -seeing as it WAS his home- didn't really care for it or bothered to track it and see if there were any patterns to its madness. The only thing it was to him was a simple delay to the destruction of the multiverse.

"Finally, you're awake..." Red muttered, startling Error out of his thoughts.

"No. I'm dead. Go away. Error hissed, closing his sockets.

Red rolled his eye lights, reaching his hand into his pocket and pulling out Error's phone, and then his own. "There's no wifi, and my phone's dead," he said blankly as he shoved Error's phone towards the glitch. "Do me a favor and put your passcode in for me."

Error stared down at it, before looking back up at Red with an unimpressed look in his glitchy eye lights. "Why should I?"

"Just shut up and do it," Red growled.

Error gave him a glare. Was Red toying with him? Did he really expect Error to just forget the throbbing pain on his face and let him use his phone? "Bug off." He replied, mentally preparing himself for whatever Red had in store for him if he disagreed.

Instead, Red stood up and walked away without another word, taking the two phones with him.

Blinking, Error realized that this was his chance. Turning away from the other, he kicked his legs, trying to get free. He'd just have to hunt down Red later, but right now he needed to focus on getting free.

Suddenly he heard footsteps running towards him and a sudden pain in his back. "Hey! Stop that!" Red yelled as he kicked Error in the spine, pushing him to the ground.

Hissing in pain, Error quickly sat up. "I swear the second I get free your death will be both slow and painful..." He snapped at the other.

Red looked down at him darkly. "Oh yea? Who says that I can't just beat you to death right here?" He snarled.

Error glitched with a determined look in his eye lights. "I do!"

Red's bone brow twitched in irritation. "That's barely even convincing! in fact, you've just made me want to dust you even more now!"

"Then do it then! I dare you!" Error yelled out, making Red flinch back in surprise. "What did you just say?" he growled darkly. Error gave him a smirk. "What? Are you scared?" He said, full-heartedly believing that the other wouldn't do anything- Red would punch him, sure, but he didn't think he'd actually kill him. After all, there was no way Red would ever be able to leave the Anti-void without Error. There was no way Red would be so stupid, Plus if Red did attack him, Error could use it to his advantage and use the extra strength to break his restraints-

Suddenly a boney hand grabbed onto the collar of Error's sweater, making his socket go blank. Red lifted him up in the air, his fingers balling up into a fist. Error froze. No, there was no way- was Red really that stupid? Quickly regretting taunting the other Error tried to open his mouth to object, but for some reason, he couldn't. His soul began to beat rapidly and all he could do was hang stiffly as Red swung his arm back.

But once again nothing happened, Red stood there, glaring at the glitch with his arm in the air as Error blinked at him. Suddenly a smile grew onto Error's face, quickly turning into laughter. "Pff- Bwahahaha!! You can't do it! You need me in order to get out of here and you know it, don't you-!"

Red stiffly threw him to the ground, brimming with rage. "No I don't!" He yelled.

Still chuckling, Error rolled over to face him. "Face it you nasty abomination, there's no escape, this place goes on forever!"

Red took a step back. "How do you know?" He hissed.

"I live here, stupid," Error said as his chuckles began to die down.

"I've punched you before! And I can do it again!" Red yelled out.

Error chuckled some more. "Not with my HP in mind!" He sang in his glitchy voice, the smirk on his face only grew as he saw the infuriated look on the other's face.

Red violently shoved his hand into his pocket, pulling Error's red-rimmed glasses out. Error froze, his laughter swiftly coming to a stop. Red grinned at the sight. "Who said that I can't hurt you through different methods?" Red smirked, making Error growl.

"...don't," Error said with a snarl, eyeing the glasses darkly. "What do you want from me?"

Red frowned deeply. "Are we seriously going to go through this again?" He spat, closing his sockets before opening them again, his eye lights gone. "B r i n g. E v e r y o n e. B a c k. N o w." He said darkly.

Error scoffed, already used to this commonly used tactic among Sanses. Closing his sockets Error summoned up as many glitches as he could muster, making himself look bigger. He then opened his sockets, his eye lights long gone. "̪̫̏͞T̹̯͂̏ ̨̤̾͆H̥̠̑̆ ̡̖̇̆ė̡̤͂ ̡̝̕͘Ṉ̱̈́͆.͍̎̚ͅ ̮̘͛͛ ͕̍̔ͅU̳͍͐̒ ͓̻̉͠n̲̱̍͒ ̳̩̋́T̥̰̈͂ ̨̻̀̆ï̗̝̿ ̯̘̂̇Ḙ̤͛̀.̙͓͊̂ ̞̑̍ͅ ̬͢͡͠m̯͖̀̋ ̫̠̈͂Ĕ̱̹̈.̜̯͒͐"͈̱̉͞

Red immediately froze, Making Error smirk. It was obvious that Red hadn't expected that. "Ȟ̭͋̔ͅa, I win." Error grinned cheekily as he blinked, letting his glitches die down as his eye lights flickered back to life.

Red blinked in surprise, feeling his sins crawling up his spine. Quickly getting a hold of himself, he remembered that Error was still another version of him and could most likely do all the things Red could do, including the power of Judge. Feeling slightly distraught, Red put the glasses back into his pocket, deciding that he wasn't in the mood for arguing with the stupid glitch.

Error frowned when Red didn't respond, tapping his feet onto the Anti-void floor with a bored expression. The other only stared at him before sitting down while still facing Error, making him start to feel uncomfortable.

"Hey, stop it." He hissed.

Red blinked, having gone deep in thought. "Stop what?" he said with a growl.

"Stop staring at me." Error muttered, making the other blink.

Red glanced around, his eye lights landing back on Error. "What the heck am I supposed to look at besides you?"

Error paused. "Well, the white void currently surrounding us?" Red frowned at him as Error continued. "...Sometimes if you look at it long enough you'll start seeing dots in the sides of your vision, you could try that,"

"Oh..." Red said hesitantly, He couldn't tell if that was supposed to be an insult or not. "But what if that ruins my vision and I start needing glasses like you do?" He said with a smirk.

Error frowned. "Well then I guess you'll have to get glasses now," he muttered back.

"Why can't I just use yours?" Red said, tapping his pocket.

Error glitched as if the idea physically hurt him. "Ew, no way!" he yelled, making Red grimace.

"Well I wouldn't be able to put them on anyways, they're way to ugly for me to wear out in public- I'd be the laughing stock!" He spat.

"Well duh! Of course you'd be made fun of! They'd never look good on you in the first place!" Error hissed, making a disgusted face.

"Oh yea!? What so they only look good on you now!?"

"Yes!"

"Fine!!" Red spat as he pulled the glasses out of his pocket, slapping them onto his face. "Boom! Now how do I look!?"

....

He sat there in silence as they slowly slid off the bridge of his nose and landed on the floor with a clunk.

Error blinked at him.

Red smacked his lips, defying all logic. "Ah."

"...so skeletons don't have ears..."

"Stupid idiot..." Error uttered, trying to reach the shattered glasses with his feet. But before he could reach them Red swiftly picked them up, holding them closer to his face with a confused expression.

"How do you even keep these on? Is there a button or..?" he muttered, fiddling with the bridge of the shattered lenses.

Error stared at Red, anxiety washing over him. "Hey! Stop that!"

"Not until you tell me how you put them on!" Red said with a glare, raising the glasses into the air. "Just tape them on ya dingus," Error spat. Red looked around obnoxiously. "Oh alright, lemmie just go and find a roll of tape in the void of literal nothingness!"

Error rolled his eyes at the other. "Shut up, I have some in my pocket."

Red paused. Wait a minute, was Error willingly letting him take his tape to willingly let him put on the glasses? That wasn't right. They are supposed to hate each other! Maybe it was a trick...

"...No," Red said, almost robotically.

Error blinked at him. "Fine." Wait another minute... Error didn't even look disappointed! Did he not care? What kinda mind game was this!? Maybe Red should...

"Wait! Nevermind!" he yelped, jumping forward, making Error flinch back. He shuffled towards the other. "Which pocket?"

"...What."

"The tape, which pocket?" Red growled.

"Back off, I changed my mind..." Error hissed, glitching at how close the other had gotten.

Red paused, staring down at the other. Error glared up at him, very poorly trying to scoot away. Even though Error looked very uncomfortable this only made Red feel way better about himself, seeing his 'kidnapper' cower like an idiot. He could almost taste the level of LV radiating off the other... How many monsters has this glitch killed?

Error, on the other hand, was starting to feel very... unbearably awkward, or irritated? The stupid abomination was getting too close. Was Red going to say something at all or...?

Error paused "...you know.. If you'd just untie me I can-"

"No," Red said sternly.

"C'mon Red, you're not getting closer to getting your universe and so-called 'friends' back if we just stay like this forever." Error retorted.

"Shut up" Red growled, gripping the glasses. Error glanced down at them, feeling slightly unwell. Red paused, itching his arm. It's not like he had anything else to do, well, besides getting his universe back. Red opened his mouth to speak, mentally hissing at the awkwardness in his voice. "I... uhm I was wondering-" Red stopped when he saw Error frown. "You know you're going to have to get used to it whether you like it or not." The glitch said.

Red glanced down at the other. "Who even are you anyway?" he asked, curious. He barely knew a thing about this murderer, beside his name... Oh and also that he killed basically everyone Red had ever known.

Error looked up at him, pausing before he began to chuckle a bit. "I thought I already told you who I was," He muttered.

"I don't care," Red said, glaring down at him.

"Whatever..." The other said dully. Red stayed quiet, waiting for him to speak, making Error feel kinda awkward. Maybe it won't be too bad... Error has never had someone to talk to about himself with someone before unless the voices asked him questions, but Red was... different. He was more real. Besides, it's not like he's got anything else to do. "...What do you want to know?" Error said after some thought.

Red blinked in surprise, he didn't think that Error would be this willing to talk. "Oh, ok, ummm..." He glanced down at the other. "Ok, so you're another version of me, right?"

Error sighed. "Yep,"

Red blinked. "How? Are you a clone? What are you?" He growled.

"Right... You don't know... well um... think about the multiverse theory, you've heard about it, right?" Red nodded.

"Well, that whole thing is actually true. You are from one of the more twisted universes, full of bad choices and stuff like that. We call your world underfell." Error said, looking deep in thought.

"So you're saying that where I come from everything's all screwed up?" Red hissed, making Error blink. "Yes, but well no? There's been worse... like Help_tale and Horrortale and underlust..." Error said before trailing off.

Red slowly nodded. "...Ok then, do the names even mean anything? Like about the universe?" He asked.

Error glanced up at him, grinning. "Your universe is called Underfell because it 'fell' a bit out from the original Undertale, heh."

Red blinked, frowning in slight disappointment. "Seriously?"

"Yea, I may live in a white void with no universe, but I'm still a Sans," Error replied.

"...Don't do that again." Red hissed, giving Error a blank stare. "What? Why??" Error pouted, he thought his joke was quite funny. "Because it's- well it's different when you are the one saying it!" Red yelled, making the other frown.

Error paused. "...You know how Undertale is the original universe? And your world in Underfell?"

Red paused, nodding. "Yea, why are the names so similar? And don't tell me some crappy pun, you insane freak..."

Error glitched, looking away from the other. "Well it's because your world is very close to the original universe, choice-wise. And there are a lot of you too, the creators like your world a lot..." He muttered.

"Who are the creators?" Red asked.

"The beings that made the multiverse, I guess." The glitch shrugged. Red paused, feeling a headache start to come on. "This is all so stupid and confusing..." he hissed under his breath.

"It's really not," Error said awkwardly, He didn't see how it was confusing. Red frowned down at him, feeling like an idiot. "Uhg... let's just move on. Last I checked this was supposed to be about you, not about existence itself." He growled.

"Fine, be my guest," Error said obnoxiously.

Red let out an irritated groan. "Ok, so like, what kind of version of me are you supposed to be? Since you're me, what... what did 'I' do to become you?"

Error lifted his head to face Red. "...I don't know,"

Red stared down at him. "That's dumb "

"...I don't remember," Error repeated sourly. "And I don't want to remember either."

"Why?" Red asked, confused.

"Because I said so." Error grouched.

Red paused, frowning at the other. "So if my world is called Underfell, what would your world be called?"

Error let out a huff. "Weren't the AUs too 'stupid and confusing' just a minute ago?" He glowered.

"Well, you never know, it might help me learn," Red muttered back. Error hesitated, "Errortale, maybe?" he said.

Red rolled his eye lights at him. "That's just your name and tale put together!"

"Well I don't remember what it's called!" Error quickly said. "Right, and yet you still remember that you are a Sans," The other continued.

The glitch made a psh sound, "I didn't remember, I recognized that I was a Sans after being called one so many times, and by the way, all your clothes fit me perfectly." The other said with a smirk.

Red glared at him. "So wh- WAIT how do you know that!?" He yelled, shocked.

There was a pause.

"You know the sweater I'm wearing?"

"Stop."

"Do you know where I got it from?"

"Shut up."

"...Underfell."

"How have I never seen you around my freaking house before?!" Red yelled out in rage, clawing at the air.

"Magic." Error said with a chuckle.
