Video Game Lovers (ErrInk)

Part 16 - The Pool

Ink's POV

  I opened my eyes before pushing myself up. Looking around for a second, I remembered that we were on a cruise ship. Error was awake on the other side of the room. He was playing a video game on his console so he didn't notice me.

  It was me hopping out of bed that caught his attention. Pulling his eyes away from game, he smiled at me before turning off his game.

Error: Good morning, Ink.

Me: Good morning.

  Error got up and walked over to my bed. He sat near me and stared at me. He seemed quite joyful today.

Error: So what do you want to do? We're on a date after all.

Me: Oh. I want to do some chill things.

Error: Okay. Like what?

Me: Like... go to the spa, try the food, and play some video games.

I listed off the things that I was planning to do. Today was going to be calm.

Error: Sounds good. There's something that I want to do.

Me: What is it?

Error: Tonight, we go to the pool. It's closed so we can have it all to ourselves.

Me: Isn't that breaking the rules?

Error: A little. Come on, it would be fun.

Me: Okay.

Error smiled as he got up to change his clothing and I did the same as well. I was still tired but there was a form of joltiness that I felt.

I put on a beige shirt and jeans. My accessories were my brown scarf and brown sleeves that covered my forearms. Error was wearing shorts and a red shirt. He left his jacket on the bed.

(Time Skip)

First, we decided to eat food. There was a small sushi bar that looked interesting to me. I never had sushi before while Error really liked it.

We found it after aimlessly walking around for a few minutes. It was a bar surrounded by a few small tables. Around that was a railing to encase the area. A roof was above us to provide shade from the unyielding hot sun. We found ourselves seated at a small near the railing, so we could look out onto the people that were partying down below.

I scanned through the menu to find if anything looked good.

Me: Error. What do you recommend?

Error: Well, you have never had sushi so I suggest the California Roll. It's basically the starter for sushi. Just rice, crab, cucumber, and avocado.

Me: Okay then I guess I'll try it.

I smiled as I closed the menu, waiting for Error to choose his food. The waiter came by to take our orders and not long after, our had arrived. I picked up a pair of chopsticks, fiddled with them, then preceded to fail several times to pick up the food. Error watched in complete laughter at my miserable failure.

Error: Oh my god. You're killing me, Ink. Here let me help.

He used his utensils to flawlessly pick up a sushi and slightly leaned forward to offer it to me. I stared at it for a second then slowly put the food in my mouth. I chewed it before thinking if I liked it or not.
