His Old Friend..

Part Nine

No One's POV
Ink and Error has stayed as they had as they waited for the other two men, being the love birds they were. Dream and Blue, being the shippers they were, sat on the couch behind them and spoke amongst themselves. Mentioning how they both definitely loved each other, and were simply too shy to tell the other. Dream, of course, called them cowards, but quickly shut up after being hit for it.

A knock sounded at the door, symbolizing the arrival of the brothers. Error quickly looked at the door, looking back at Ink "Are...they..here?" Ink nodded in response, turning to look at Dream and Blue "One of you, go let them in, please" Dream nodded in response, standing up and walking over to the door, opening it "Hey guys, I'm glad you could-" Geno rushed right past him. "make it.." Fresh gave a half-hearted chuckle. It wasn't too real, but neither were any of his other emotions. "Sorry brah, Geno's all worked up about seeing Error. I am too, if I'm bein' honest with ya. It's good to see ya though." He said, patting his shoulder before walking past as well. Dream sighed and shut the door, going over and joining Blue on the couch again. When he got back, Geno had already taken Ink's place and was already crying. He only mumbled quiet, incoherent things to himself, while Error reassured him that everything would be alright. Fresh tried to help as well, but he wasn't much help. Geno eventually turned to Fresh and hugged him, stating he 'needed a minute' and that 'it was too much'. Fresh hugged him back to the best of his abilities, looking at Error with a smile. "Geno brah needs a minute, so we'll be back. It's nice to see you again, brah." He said as sympathetically as he could before walking off with Geno down the hall. Ink watched them leave, sighing quietly. "I didn't think it'd hit him that hard.." Error nodded "I...knew it would. We spent...most of our child..hood together. Knowing he can..get that back is...what hurts him" he explained gently, looking back at Ink. He didn't exactly know how to explain his relationship with each of his brothers. He was much closer to Geno, sure, but he was still close to Fresh. Closer than he used to be anyways. Error had issues with both of his brothers, though all of them each had their own issues..

Geno, the eldest, was constantly in hospitals. He was born with a soul deficiency, 2/3 of his soul missing, which was why he was always in the hospital. It often caused issues with his everyday life—walking, breathing, random pain, etc. Their mother, often babied him, which he hated. Carrying him when he was perfectly fine and wanted to walk. Geno didn't want to do something? They didn't do it. Error always believed he was the favorite. Now, you may be asking, was that his issue with Geno? No. Error had separation anxiety from Geno. Every time he were to go out for tests or surgeries, Error would stay in his room alone. He would only come out for food, ask when Geno would be back, or when he did get home.

Error, the middle child, had many mental issues. Separation anxiety from Geno, anger issues, and some believe he has IED, or Intermittent Explosive Disorder. He also suffered from pixilation syndrome, which resulted in his glitching and rebooting. He had poor social skills and freaks out, as well as feels pressured, when around anyone other than his family. This results in his body to freeze, stop, and eventually reboot. The reboot normally lasts about 1-2 minutes at max. However, depending on the circumstances and the pressure on him, it can last longer. He often had trouble with bullying, physically and mentally, which resulted in a smaller self esteem and the tear-like streaks on his cheeks.

Fresh, the youngest, had a emotion deficiency. He could not feel emotions, such as sadness, anger, happiness, etc. This causes him to be confused about most situations. He often attempts to mimic emotions and anything associated with the emotions, which annoyed Error. He made a friend, Decans, or 'Deccy' as he calls him. He helped Fresh to mask and fake the emotions, as well as give him someone to confide in. As for Error's issue with him, his issue was Fresh himself, as he put it. Error believed that Fresh didn't care about Geno, and with how much he cared about him, he of course said something about it. He often got physical with Fresh, mostly by simply shoving him. He once punched him, and Fresh fell down the stairs. This resulted in a bruise and magic loss, as well as Fresh's golden tooth. Error still apologizes about it.

They all have their problems and differences, but they still plan to stick together. Even while Error was gone, Fresh and Geno planned to stay together. They have each grown closer to each other than they were when younger, and have grown together through it. They each stay with each other, and the brother(s) comes before anyone else. And they would stay with Error until he came out of the tank, and they were getting the first hug. There was no doubt about it. Geno would argue and argue until he won. He was having a group hug with his brothers once again, wether they liked it or not. But nobody minded. Everyone understood.

Family comes first

((Another kinda short chapter, but it's just explaining the CQ brothers and the backstory- I'm thinking about jumping to when he is finished and revived completely- Good idea or nah-?))
