Unfinished Business

Chapter Two: "I'm sorry"

Squid is Ink! Explanation for why some people call him squid while others call him Ink is coming in this chapter.

Geno's POV

I walked with the Ink in my arms as we headed towards his bedroom. The new ghost was a few short steps away, walking with me. Ink's head was resting on my shoulder, as he was already asleep in my arms. Although the walk from the kitchens to Ink's bedroom isn't far, he'd still managed to fall asleep. I held Ink tighter as I went to open the door, to make sure he wouldn't fall. We might be the same age, but he was so much smaller then me. He was about the size of a toddler even though he was around 15 years old. Blueberry was keeping up behind us and stopped as we reached the door to Ink's room. Although we were ghost's I still had this habit of opening doors. I was about to open the door when I felt my throat close up on me. I started coughing again. I coughed a lot, each day I'd have coughing fits and I still had no clue why.

"Do you want me to hold him?" Blue said, motioning to Ink.

"No." I said coughing. I opened the door just fine and found Lust sitting on Ink's bed. He was looking at one of the books in Ink's room when we entered, and he closed it placing it back into the bookshelf next to Ink's bed.

"Oh, you found him, good." Lust said, talking about Ink. I hushed him nodding to the sleepy Ink in my arms. "Right." Lust rolled his eyes, and got off of Ink's bed. I gently placed Ink on his bed and pulled the covers over him, even if my intentions were to not wake him up he rolled over and did so himself.

"Genie?" Ink whispered still half asleep. I sighed, I'd have to find another way to get him to sleep now. I know I'm being a little hard on him, but he really needs to sleep, he hasn't had a good sleep in ages. He always wakes from having nightmares, about...things he can barely remember.

"Yeah, Squid?" I said, forcing down the urge to call him Ink.

"Why we here? I'm nwot tired, can we go back to playing?" Ink asked, pulling on the sleeve of my white jacket.

"No Squid, go back to sleep." I turned to Lust, who was eyeing Blueberry who had barely even stepped into the room. "Lust can you get him to sleep....and make sure he stays asleep. I'm gonna go talk with Blueberry." Lust didn't look back at me, and just nodded and sat down in one of the chairs in Ink's room. Ink rolled over again, doing as I had said and trying to sleep. I bit my lip and walked out of the room, closing the door behind me, leaving Lust with Ink. Blueberry followed me to a small room toward the front of the house, and we sat down in the old old couches. If we actually weighed anything then they might've broken as we sat on 'em.

"So..." I tried starting, it was hard, breaking the news to people they died. I started to say something when Blueberry cut me off.

"I'm not dead." He said quickly.

I stopped. I had only ever had to explain to someone they were dead once, they hadn't taken It well , but never denied it. I looked up at Blue, he looked at me as if he was afraid of what I'd do. Like he hadn't expected himself to say something like that. "Um...but..you are. I know it's not ideal, and I know it is-"

"I can't be dead." Blue said.

"Blue- we died. No one's found our bodies, but we're dead. I died years ago, believe I miss my family as much as anyone every could, but I've had to except it. I'm dead, and so are you...I'm sorry." I said quietly, thinking back to Error, Ma and Fresh, my family.

"You may be dead, but I'm not. I'm just lost a little, my friends will find me and I'll be back living a normal life, before I know it. You're j-just my imagination, b-because I'm lonely and s-scared. Y-you aren't real and n-nothing you say is r-real. Y-you don't care about your f-family because you d-don't have one." Blue said, trying to sound confident. I felt myself flinch and my hands clench into fist. I knew he hadn't meant what he said, but I couldn't stop my anger.

"I love my family more then anything in the world!! And I'm not gonna have some kid in denial tell me that everything I've felt for years is wrong and not real because they don't wanna believe the truth that their dead!!" I stopped, I looked back at Blue who had tears in his transparent eyes. I sighed, feeling my own tears come, I tried to hold the, back but was having trouble. I felt a small tear run down my face and smiled, i hadn't been able to cry about it since I died. I had always been so busy taking care of Ink, that I had forgotten how hard all it was.

"Genie?" I heard a tiny voice from behind me, I wiped my eyes and turned to see Lust holding Ink at the edge of one of the doors. I ran over and took, Ink from Lust and held Ink tightly in my arms. He was the last thing I had off my old life, before we died. "What wrong?!" He asked, holding onto my jacket.

"Nothing,nothing. Promise. Nothing's wrong, why aren't you in bed?" I asked him.

"He tells asleep, but woke up almost immediately afterwards, says he had a nightmare." Lust said. "He wouldn't go back to sleep until he found you. And made sure you were ok. Which I'm even questioning now."

"Don't worry about it." I turned to Blue, who was still staring in shock. I sighed, I really shouldn't have yelled. "Um..Blue?"

"Y-yeah?" Blue said, stuttering.

"I'm sorry, for what I said. It's not your fault. None of this is any of our faults, we just have to watch and see how it'll go. Um...Blue, do you want to stay here? I'm sure we can find some place for you to sleep." I said, as Ink laid his head back down on my shoulder, I swear the only time he ever sleeps is when I'm around.

"I don't r-really have a c-choice do I?" Blue asked, quietly. I was going to answer but Lust, was faster then me.

"Not unless you know somewhere else you can go?" Lust crossed his arms, and leaned against the tall walls of the small house.

"I don't." Blue said, sadly. I nodded.

"That's ok. I'll find you somewhere to sleep. But before we do that, it's just precautionary, but we have rules each of us have to follow, to make sure the others are comfortable." I said, I knew the rules by heart by know. I had wanted to make sure Ink was ok and the same for Lust.

"Oh, ok." Blue said waiting for me to continue.

"First off, don't go in my room, please. No ones allowed in there, except me." I started, I felt a tingle in the back of my throat and coughed, with out showing signs of stopping.

"Is he ok?" I heard blue ask.

"Yeah, just give him a sec. it's not like he'll die a second time." Lust said. I kept coughing, until it woke Ink up. He looked up at me, with a saddened look, and hugged ,y shoulder till I stopped.

"Genie Ok?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Squid, no need to worry, go back to sleep." I told him and he shoved him face into my shoulder, making me laugh a little. "As I was saying, please do not go into my room. And none of us really enjoy talking about our past so, if you would, just refrain from asking. And please, please make sure to only call Squid by that name and never call him Ink. Please. Lust you wanna add anything?" I asked.

"Just don't touch me." Lust said, walking away.

"Right, I'm sorry again. None off us wanted this..." I said.
