Together again(errink)

Hidden Past

Ink stands back up and walks over to Error.

Error grinned, he liked when he had an excuse to mess with codes and hack. And technically, Ink was giving him permission, so it's not like he was doing anything bad this time. He stood up as well, "G-great. Let's see w-what there h-hiding...Maybe y-you have a long lost t-twin they never t-told you about." He joked heading to his room and motioning for ink To follow him. It would be better in there as while he was hacking Ink wouldn't have to be stuck in a room with white walls.

His room had a large tv hooked into the wall with several consoles. Three bean bags with knitted projects at different compilations around them. His computer desk had two monsters and mikes and very much looked like what one would expect from a gamer. His bed was messy, he rarely made it, But on the ceiling, were glow-in-the-dark stars, some were stuck right on the ceiling while others were wrapped in the blue threads he made and were hanging down at different lengths.

Error went to the chair by his computer desk and started typing "W-where i-is your A-album? online?" he asked Ink since it would be easier than trying to go threw a search.

"Maybe." Ink mutters. He is nervous.

Ink walks to the computer and types in a website. Once on it, Ink clicks on a folder labeled "Inky". "There. It's easier that way." Ink backs up and watches. As his cheerful demeanor drops, he hides part of his face in his scarf. His imagination gets carried away as he starts thinking about what his parents were so keen on hiding from him.

"inky...c-cute" Error said, teasing a little as you do to friends when you find out a nickname their parents gave them. Error put his glasses on and started going threw the pictures, it looked like the ones that were most edited were ones from when Ink was a small child. It also looked like he was off-center, like something or someone should be next to him. Error pulled up one and got into the code. 

"W-wow they really wanted to h-hide something... and w-went about it badly," he said as he started typing and pointed at the second screen that had the photo changing as he messed with the code, "keep an eye o-on the picture tell me when anything big changes," he said as he removed parts of the edit to get it the core code of the picture.

Ink blushed as he watched the picture, clutching the puppets tight. The small artist gets a little closer to the screen as he watches the picture change.

He can barely see something darker next to his little self. He kneels to look closer, "I can see something, but it's still pretty covered up."

"Yeah...If they did t-this themselves, t-they really suck at this..." Error said, more annoyed at how much they did, "T-they even seemed to have c-changed your expression i-in it...guessing t-they didn't like h-how you looked e-ether," he said though given what Ink had told him he guessed that the other Skeleton didn't often smile for photos. So he kept up fixing and taking out code, the only thing really making it heard was not that it was a good job but more that it was so bad and there was so much of it that it just took a bit to go threw.

Ink frowned. "They hated that I never seemed to smile... So it's not surprising." 

"If you did smile then I-it would have been fun to scare everyone with," Error said. Though he didn't get it either himself, maybe he was weird in that it didn't seem to bother him all that much.

"Why does it seem like they're... Ashamed about my kid photos?" In all honesty, Ink felt hurt by the simple act of editing a photo of him so heavily.

"M-maybe they didn't like whoever you were friends w-with," he said though why he would not get, it's not like kids could cause much harm after all. He kept going with, glancing at the photo now and then and thinking that the figure almost looked like him though he couldn't be sure it was unlikely right. It must just be someone else with dark bones.
