His Old Friend..

Part Five

Error's POV
Well, Ink let his friends stay over for the time being. If I was being honest, I didn't like them too much. They were way too excited and energetic for my liking. Ink was nothing like that. He had his moments of energy and happiness, but he wasn't always like that like they were.

I had recognized them both. I recognized the yellow one, Dream, as Nightmare's brother. I recognized the blue one, Blue, as Dust's boyfriend. Nightmare and Dust, two of my friends from my small "friend group", had spoke about them before, though I didn't recognize them. Ink had of course cleared up my suspicions of who they were. However, he did give me some saddling news afterwards. He spoke about how after my death, Dust broke up with Blue and Nightmare distanced himself from everyone, including the group and Dream. I guess I really did mean something, huh?

"I have an idea!" Blue spoke up. They had been speaking of a way to make me visible to both of them. They wanted to play a game, but they didn't want to leave me out. How thoughtful of them. "What if we like, paint him or something? Of course, with the colors visible on him, that way we can see the paint!" Dream sighed in response "Blue, he's a ghost. No one can touch him, we'd just phase through" I shook my head, though I knew they couldn't see me "I can touch you, Ink" I said, looking at him. He looked up at me before looking at the other two and repeating it "He says he can touch me. He did earlier, actually."

Dream smiled at that "Really? I wonder if we can see the reaction if he touches you. Y'know, like if he leans on your shoulders, if we can see the force of it. Tell him to do that, lean on your shoulders" I sighed "I hope he knows I can still hear him" I said with a groan as I placed my hands on Ink's shoulders, leaning on him. He giggled quietly at my statement, placing his hands on top of mine. Blue gasped "That's so cute!!" He must've noticed by the force put on Ink and the fact he moved his hands, that I was on him. I blushed lightly. I wasn't embarrassed by it, it felt..right..

Ink's POV
I blushed brightly at Blue's statement. I looked up at Error, only to see him blushing as well. He seemed more carefree about the situation though. I quickly shook my head and looked away, there was no way I was falling for him. We only met a short time ago, and he's a ghost. He's literally dead. Now, if I can manage to bring him back, then I suppose... I sighed, I couldn't let Error know. Not yet. I looked back up at him "Can you go to my room for a little bit, I got to tell them something." He looked, hurt? Was it because I wasn't telling him? I gave him a reassuring smile, rubbing my thumb gently on his hand "I promise, I'll tell you later. When the time is right, okay?" He smiled back and nodded, letting go of me before disappearing. I groaned and fell back. 

Blue looked at me, moving to sit beside me as he pulled Dream beside him "What's wrong, Ink?" He asked, giving me a sympathetic look. "There's something wrong with me, you guys.." Dream noticed that I wasn't messing around as he had thought "There's nothing wrong with you, Ink." he told me in a matter-of-fact tone. I sat up, placing my hands on either side of my head "I'm falling for a ghost! A damn ghost! He's dead and I'm falling for him!" I said, tilting my head down. Blue sighed, placing his arm around me in an attempt to comfort me "Ink, that's okay.. there's nothing wrong with that.. as long as you truly love him, we'll stand with you no matter what.." he said with a smile as Dream nodded in agreement.

No Ones POV
As Ink stayed there with the surrounding support of his friends, thinking about how he could love a simple dead entity, a small, almost unnoticeable gasp was given from the hallway. There stood Error, he heard everything. He knew it was him, he was the only ghost Ink knew. Was that why he didn't like being introduced as his 'friend'? Was that why everything felt right to him?

Enough questions

He knew he liked Ink back, even if he wouldn't admit it. He came up with an idea. When he was brought back to life, when he could properly been seen by everyone, he'd show Ink just how much he loved him. You read that right. They had met, what, three or four days ago? And he already loved him. A big claim, but a 100% true claim to Error. He wouldn't let Ink know he had heard their conversation until he had shown his love for him. He smiled gently to himself, imagining the possible situation to himself as he walked away.

Ink had calmed down, wiping away any stray tears that had fallen. He felt quite guilty. He was supposed to only help Error reunite with his brothers, and he fell for him? How selfish, he thought. He was glad he had his friends though, for they really did help the situation.

He had just hoped Error truly did do what he said and heard nothing.
