Looks like it's all over. Nightmare smiles victoriously.

But...

He feels a sharp pain in the side of his body and falls to the ground, unable to move anymore. Error immediately staggers to where you are, kneels down and puts your head in his lap. Your eyes are closed, your whole body is full of blood, horrible marks are present on your neck and you breathe with great difficulty "Muffin... Muffin..." "No... Just kill me... already..." You speak in a hoarse and very low voice. "No. Shhh calm down, it's over. No one else is going to hurt you" You can recognize your friend's glitchy voice and partially open your eyes "E-error? Is that you?" "Yes, it's me, I'm here" "I'm sorry, it's all my fault! *cough cough*" "Shhhhh, don't say that, it's not your fault." "You must hate me now." "What? Of course not. Never think such a thing!" "It's...getting...dark..." You close your eyes again "Muffin, stay with me, NO!"

Ink and the others manage to defeat enemies after a long and tiring battle. They leave them immobilized, just to make sure they don't get in the way again. When they go looking for Error, they soon find the completely destroyed room where Error is crying and hugging your body and Nightmare is unconscious on the floor. Ink crouches down beside you and puts where his ear would be carefully to your chest and waits ... ... ... *Thump Thump* "She's alive!" The others present sigh in relief "We need to get her to a hospital right away." Saying this, he paints the wall forming a portal and draws some thick wooden sticks, which take shape in the real world. Dream is doing first aid with healing magic. Error fixes the sticks Ink made to your legs and arms using his blue strings so that they stay still. Picking you up very gently, he and the others go through the portal.

...

Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep... That sound is all you can distinguish from total darkness. The light starts to increase and it hurts your eyes. At the thought of hurting, your entire body is boiling with agony. The luminosity starts to take on blurred colors. You can feel, something other than the pain, in your fingers and decide to squeeze them to try to distinguish what it is. "Muffin? Muffin! A-are you awake?" Shapes begin to emerge. A white ceiling with light bulbs and that one looks like "E-E-rr-or?" You try to straighten up but the pain is too intense. "Try not to move, you're still in a bad state." You look at yourself and notice your arms and legs are in a cast, you can feel a huge bandage around your neck and see small red and transparent little pipes sticking out of your wrist to matching colored pouches hanging on the side of the bed. A white wire comes out of a peg on your finger and connects to the large device that beeps every time the green line passes the monitor.

A few minutes pass. Error doesn't say anything not to pressure you and you remain silent because of the shame of what you did, but ends up building up your courage "I-I'm s-so sor-ry" You can't take it anymore and cry "Hey, hey, it's ok, it's over, you don't need to apologize anymore." Error desperately wants to hold you in his arms to soothe you like he always does, but he can't because of your multiple fractures, so he just holds your fingers and rests his forehead against yours. You two remain in this position for a while longer. "Hey, Muffin, if it's not too much of a bother to ask you, how did you get there?" "... I had a nightmare. H-he was there and... and said you were going to betray me. I tried to ignore it, b-but then I heard you say you were going to b-break me and I was desperate... I wanted answers, so I called him, just like how he told me in the dream." Error listens attentively to your quiet sobs. "I just wanted to talk, I s-swear, but he took me and he wanted me to kill people..." You can barely finish "And... Did you do what he said?" He asks nervously "No... I couldn't, I couldn't" Error sighs in relief, even though he had already destroyed thousands of lives, he didn't want his precious Muffin to lose the rest of her innocence "But then he got mad and wanted to do... 'things' again with me to punish me. Error, thank you so much for saving me, even after I said horrible things to you. I'm such an idiot, forgive me!" "No, Muffin, you're the one who have to forgive me, at that time I went there alone and I should have fought more for you, convinced you somehow, realized that Nightmare was deceiving you." You two think for a while on what to say and you do it first. "D-do you really want to s-tab me in the back?" "What? No! Well, that was before, long before, when I just met you and I barely knew you. After so much good time together it's clear that I wouldn't do such a thing. It's like I told you before. I really like you a lot." "Really?" "Really really." The smile Error shows you is loving and full of sincerity. You remember everything you went through together. How difficult was at first, how he calmed you the first time, how he had so much patience and care and how cautious he was during the treatment. And he saved you twice from Nightmare and mostly, saved you from yourself. A feeling arises within you. A new and good feeling. You feel the need to tell something to Error "I...I...like you... too." You both blush a lot and Error smiles the biggest smile of his life "Haha. Hahahahaha! I don't think I've ever felt so happy before!"

A human nurse enters the room "Hi, I came for a check-up on... Oh, you woke up, what great news! Your friends were very worried!" She walks to the monitor to check it out. She also checks the blood and serum bags, takes the temperature, checks your eyes with a flashlight and performs other medical procedures. Mere minutes after the nurse leaves, Ink appears with a bag full of stuff "Error, I'm back. I brought you some things to eat. And you should give yourself some time, get some sleep for a change and... (Y-Y/N)? You finally woke up!" He goes over to the bed "The others will be relieved to know, how are you feeling?" "It hurts, but I'm fine, I'm really happy to see you." Ink is surprised that you are happy and beyond that, you admit it.

The three of you talk for a long time. Your other friends come to visit you as soon as they hear you've woken up, Dream, Blueberry, Papyrus and the others from Underswap. You apologize to everyone for the inconvenience you caused, who in return said you shouldn't worry about it anymore. The night comes. Ink says "You should go rest, Error. You've barely slept for a week" You startle "Wait... A week??" "Yes, you were in a coma and had no expected return. Error refused to leave your side even for a moment, even though he was all beaten." You and Error blush as Ink continues "I had to keep bringing him food so he wouldn't pass out from hunger and..." "Okay, Ink, we got it!" You giggle as the other two argue like they're an old couple . They eventually stop the bickering, not letting go of the old habit and realizing you've fallen asleep. Ink comments, "You know, I'm glad you found someone important, someone you really love." "Heh, you're right. Too bad she doesn't love me the same way." "Relax and be patient, everything has its time." "...thank you, Ink. I guess you're a good friend, after all." This time it was Ink who blushed, surprised by the comment. He smiles and gives Error a friendly pat on the shoulder. "You too, Error. You too."

Haha, it's not over yet. The outcome is still missing. Will (Y/N)-chan and Error-senpai stay together?
