A Tiny Error

Chapter 20

*This chapter might have a tiny bit of lime, nothing too serious. I hope. Just don't say I didn't warn you*

Error took a deep breath, then entered Ink's cottage. The plan he had in mind involved convincing Ink to come spend a weekend with Nightmare and the gang at his castle, but he had no idea how to go about it. If he could manage to get Ink to at least stay over for a night, then Error could figure out how to deal with Fresh in the meantime.

He looked around, wandering into the kitchen. "Ink?" he called, but got no answer.
'Must be with Blueberry and Dream.'

"Oh hi, Error!"

The glitchy skeleton jumped and stumbled onto the couch when Ink literally appeared out of nowhere. He glitched in fright, having been caught off guard by the creator's sudden appearance. Ink smirked, holding his hands over his mouth in an attempt to stop his laughter.

"Whoops!" he said cheerily, walking over and plopping down on the couch next to Error. "I didn't mean to scare you. Sorry!"

Error rolled his eyelights, but grinned.
"It's fine. But, I have something to ask."

Ink turned to him eagerly, focusing his short attention span on him alone. It always creeped him out, but at least he knew Ink was listening- er, trying to listen.

"O-ok, so, I thought since we made a truce, we could have our groups kinda... get to know each other a bit better. I wanted to suggest we... have a sleepover. For the weekend. At Nightmare's castle, since it's big enough we could all have our own rooms. I think."

He watched Ink carefully for his reaction. The creator stared at him for a bit, processing the information, before lighting up with a smile.

"Sure! It sounds like fun! Have you told Dream and Blueberry?"
Error shook his head, and Ink stood up. He offered a hand to Error, and helped him up.
"Well, let's go ask them!"

Error opened a portal to UnderSwap, assuming the couple would be there. Yes, they officially got together. Stretch was surprisingly ok with it, considering his track record for being overly protective of his brother. That being said, he still warned Dream not to break Blueberry's heart, or else he'd have to deal with a bad time from Stretch.

When Ink knocked on the door, Stretch answered. He narrowed his eyesockets at Error in suspicion, and Error looked down guiltily. To defuse any hostility, Ink cleared his throat.
"Heya, Stretch. We were wondering if Blueberry is home today."

"Nope," Stretch said bluntly, still keeping an eyesocket on Error.
"Said he and Dream were going someplace for a date. Why?"

"We are planning a sleepover at Nightmare's castle! You're welcome to join us if you like!"

Stretch chuckled and shook his head.
"No thanks. But if Sans decides to make tacos, save one for me, will ya?"
He winked, and Ink laughed.

"Of course! See ya, Stretch!" He waved, and opened another portal, leading Error inside. Now they were in DreamTale, and it was a little unsettling how quiet it was. Error shivered a bit, finding the lonely eeriness disturbingly similar to the Anti-Void. Ink looked back at him, noticing his anxiety, and held his hand for reassurance. Error squeezed it, desperately clinging to the thought that he wasn't alone, and that he could leave if he wanted to.

The two of them walked down the halls of the mansion, their shoes barely making a sound on the solid wood floors. As they neared one of the large drawing rooms, they heard noises. They sounded like voices, so they sneaked over to the doors, and...

"Agh, D-Dream..."

"Heh heh, shhhh...."

"Mm, nobody's here..."
