Refresh: Extras

Wishing

   Postkidnapping Error and Geno. ACTUAL ONESHOT!?

   "Geno?"

   "Yes Error?" Geno turned to look at the middle brother.

   The three were laid out in the backyard gazing up into the sky. There was a meteor shower. So far neither had seen one yet.

   Error sat up on the blanket. "What was it you used to say about stars?"

   Geno coughed lightly at sat up. "When?"

   "When we were little. About the stars guiding us?"

   "Oh. That one." Geno hummed. "The stars will always guide you back home."

   Error stared down into his lap. "Do you think Fresh could use the stars to come home? Would that make mom happy again?"

   "Error... " Geno knew there was no point in arguing with Error like this... "It is possible. Maybe hes on his way now." Geno tried to ignore the way his soul protested the cold.

   Error looked back up at the sky. "But they only show at night." Error sighed. "I didn't think I'd miss him so much..."

   Geno deep down was glad to see Error caring about their youngest brother. They had been at each others throats since Fresh could talk. "Well he was your brother too."

   "Do you think he's okay?" Error asked looking at his older brother again.

   Geno smiled. "I'm sure. Fresh is a tough cookie! And a smart one too!" He coughed into his arm.

   "Are you alright?" Error asked worry filling his sockets.

   Geno eaved it off. "I'm fine! I'm fine." He looked back up and gasped. "Look! It's starting! The shooting stars!"

   Error looked up and smiled. He loved the stars. Space had always calmed him. That's why his room was decorated with glowy stars and painted galaxies. "Make a wish."

   Geno hummed. "I wish Fresh could be here."

   Error sighed. "Yeah. I wish Fresh could be here, I wish you weren't sick, I wish I wasn't so messed up, I wish mom wasn't so stressed. "

   Geno rubbed his brothers back. "Calm down before you crash Error. Your glitching is getting bad."

   Error trembled lightly and wiped under his sockets. "Sorry..."

   Geno frowned. He didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth to try when they were interuppted.

   "Boys. Your nother wants you both inside. She doesn't want Genos condition to worsen. She made hot cocoa and we still have some cookies." Asy smiled as the light shone from the back door.

   Geno sighed and looked at Error.

   Error went to get up and offered Geno a hand.

   Geno smiled and took the hand pulling himself up. He put an arn around the (barely shorter now) brother and went to head in. He was sure Fresh would come home. Soon. At least....

   He could wish.
