One shots.

[in]Difference.

uh. no ship.

I definitely didn't forget to change the name.

"I thought you were different." 

Error's voice carried a sense of finality. A form of acceptance that this was it. This was the end of the road for the two of them, a crossroads. The only difference is the cliff edge that one of the roads end with. 

"And I was. To you I was different. I may not be anymore in your eyes, but for at least a very short amount of time in your life, I was different and that's all that matters to me at this moment." 

Error looked down at that, with a feeling of self-loathing for not being able to refute it. He squeezed the hand he was holding before dropping it, watching as the magic-force that drove all life forms slowly seeped out of the others eye-lights. 

"You know, Error.. it's not so bad. Everything. I think.. perhaps your AU and the way it went made you unable to see the people around you. All you ever saw was the people you didn't have, the same people that everyone else had or did have at some point. Even if you may have not realized it or even remember the people, your body, your magic remembers." 

The others face lit up with a cheeky smile, Error wanted nothing but to erase it from existence. It sounded ridiculous. His magic remembers? What utter bullshit. 

"Hey now. None of that. You can forget my words, don't mind them. I just want you to know that I'm happy with this. I'm happy I get to spend my last, really my last moments, here with you rather than with that human child's footsteps ringing in the distance. Makes it seem more real, y'know?" 

He didn't fight the scowl that covered his face, listening to the weak chuckles of his 'maybe friend'. If he ever decided to listen to another's words, he would eat dust, swallow it and enjoy it. How could anyone be happy with dying right in front of the person who caused the whole mess that lead to their death in the first place? Certainly not Error, that he knows for sure. 

"Just hurry up and dust. My bottom hurts from sitting on this hard as fuck ground." 

He got another cheeky grin as a response and indeed, the other did 'hurry up and dust'. Left with nothing but the dust of his former 'maybe friend', Error isn't quite sure what he is supposed to do at this point in time. He could sit and watch the AU slowly crumble into the void, but Inky blot would most certainly catch up to him. Error has no motivation to fight him, but neither does he have the energy to move from this spot for a while. 

With an inwards shrug, Error settles down more without moving and gazes out into falling ground and black empty spots between trees and snow. 

It wasn't supposed to end like this. Error wasn't supposed to make 'maybe friends' with the people he sought out to erase. But here he was, sitting on the frozen ground with the dust of a maybe friend in front of him. In the beginning, back when Error had more time to dilly dally, he used to sit down and watch as the world took its final steps before crumbling to the void. It had been years upon years since the last time he had stayed. Perhaps that is why a feeling of bitter nostalgia consumed him. This was a copy world, it isn't anything special and yet.. Error decided to be friendly towards the Sans of this world, to explain, to vent and hope uselessly for the Sans to understand and follow him to a place he still does not know. 

To have a maybe friend. 

With a sigh and a twitch of a finger, he disappeared with a pop, the world quietly following soon thereafter.

um. angst? um. so. this isn't an FGoD universe. it just.. has a more sad Error, or more sane probably. he still seeks to destroy everything, but he also has the useless hope of maybe having someone that understands why he does the things he does. i suppose he sort of understands that it's useless and that no matter how he may try, no one will fully see it from his point of view nor will they follow him when not even Error himself knows where he is heading.

it's sort of implied that he never did actually try to do anything to get anyone to understand his point of view before this, at least not without it leading to people fighting him and calling him a soulless liar and destroyer. but then again, had he tried during a fight then it would be hidden below so many sarcastic jokes and dry wit that no one would look deeper into it.

anyway. uhm. hope you enjoyed. see ya.
