Undertale Ship Oneshots

Error x Ink

    Error's P.O.V

    Here we were, fighting like always. Ink stared down at me as I held him with my strings, a pained look plastered across his face. A deep feeling was screaming at me to let him go, to take the pain away, to put his childish smile back onto his face. I pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind and readied my hand for the final blow. I, however, couldn't do it. Why? Why can't I finally end this fighting?! Why am I wavering at the fearful look in his eyes?!

    "Error, please, I don't want to fight anymore. Why can't we make a truce?" Ink asked, his entire body trembling with fear. What's the matter with me? Why do I hate the fact that he's scared of me at this moment?

    Without saying anything, I drop the artist from his string restraints. He looks up at me with mute shock, mouth agape. Opening a portal, I go to step through, until I hear a shout. "Wait, Error!" I heard the squid yell. I stopped and turned to him, an annoyed look on my face. "What, squid?" I finally asked, gaining a bright, hopeful smile from Ink. "Does...does this mean we're making a truce?" Ink asked, a nervous smile creeping its way onto his face.

    "Sure," I responded. A small smile made its way onto my face for a split second as I saw that childish gleam again. What's happening to me? Why do I love that he's happy because of me? Before I could think about it anymore, I quickly walked through the portal and closed it off. There was one problem about that plan, though. I still couldn't stop thinking about the squid. His bright smile, his colorful eyes, even his childish side. I just don't understand. This had been happening every time that we would leave a fight. His face or smile or his laugh would just...not leave my mind.  There was only one person I could think of that I could talk to about this. One of my only friends. Blue. He could help me figure out what was wrong with me.

    I created another portal to Underswap, exiting right behind Blue's house so I could go unnoticed by the other monsters. I went around front and knocked on the door, it quickly being flung open by the bundle of energy himself. "Error! What can the magnificent Blue do for you today?" He asked, opening the door wider to invite me in. I hesitantly walked in, worried deep down that I wouldn't like the advice he'd give me. Once I sat down, he immediately sat down beside me, his wide smile fading as he saw my mixed expression. "Error? What's wrong?" he asked, becoming serious. I heaved out a sigh before telling him everything, hoping for any explanation. I told him about today and how I couldn't kill Ink even though I had the perfect opportunity, about how it pained me to see him afraid of me, how I couldn't seem to get his ecstatic smile out of my mind after I said I'd make a truce.

    As I continued going on and on, Blue only seemed to gain a small smirk, knowing full well what was up. "Well, Error, the only thing this could be is that you've gained feelings toward Ink. You say you hate him, but after everything you just said, I'm sure that that's not true at all if you were so hesitant to hurt him." I was shocked, it couldn't be true. He's my sworn enemy, my complete opposite. I grew angry at the thought, a low growl making its way out. "No! There's no way that's true, Blue. He's annoying, stupid, MY ENEMY! I refuse to believe that I could've in any way gained feeling for that glitch!" I yelled, error signs starting to cloud my eyes before I created a portal to the antivoid and ran through it, quickly closing it behind me.

~a few days later~

    I sat on my beanbag in the antivoid, staring at the doll I had made of Ink years ago. I couldn't help but think about what Blue had told me a few days ago. I'd thought about it everyday, hating how much it made sense. Every time I'd get close to accepting it, I'd get angry and dismiss the thought, but now, I couldn't stop. I looked at the colored shapes I'd sewn for his eyes, the yellow star and blue circle, his resting shapes. I wondered what they meant, what other shapes he could have for what emotions. Wondering if I'd ever been the cause of a good change. I sighed, tossing the doll to the side. "Don't be stupid, you've only ever given him negative emotions, only ever fighting and trying to get rid of one another." I said to myself, but I couldn't help but still hope deep down that it wasn't fully true.

    A portal opened near me, startling me from my thoughts. I jumped up and shot my strings at whatever walked through, hearing a yelp as my strings caught whoever walked through. Pulling them closer to me, I saw the squid I was just thinking about, an awkward chuckle escaping his teeth. "Uh, hehe, hey Error. Lovely day huh?"

    I gave him the neutral face of displeasure before dropping him from my strings. "What are you doing here, squid?" I asked with a scowl, though there was some part of me that was happy he was here, but that only frustrated me more. He rubbed the back of his neck and chuckled before getting to the point. "Well, the other day you said we were finally gonna make a truce. I just thought, uh, we could go over the terms of the truce, give each other conditions and such." He explained. Oh yeah, I forgot we were making a truce. I sighed before plopping myself down on the white nothingness of the antivoid, gesturing for Ink to sit as well, he happily did so and began discussing what he was hoping could happen, me half listening. That is until he said, "Of course I'd like it if you could stop destroying aus." I couldn't help but get angry, yelling out, "If you continue creating, I will continue destroying. That is my only condition, so if you think I will go through with anything you say if it involves you having creative freedom while I have to fully stop then you're wrong!" I said, getting up in his face. He seemed shocked at my outburst and slowly nodded, stating in a quiet voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't think about that. Fine then if I stop creating new Aus, you stop destroying them. We leave stuff the way it is right now. Is that a deal?" We shook hands, each holding a serious expression as we concluded our truce.

~3 months later~

    Things have really changed since our truce, especially recently. Ink had started coming over more, just to do little things like talk or watch Undernovela together. The weirdest part was that if we ever accidentally touched, or brushed shoulders while sitting on the beanbag, I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't even glitch, but he seemed to go crazy over it, apologizing with a rainbow blush over his cheek bones. When he would, I couldn't help but find it slightly adorable. At this point I've fully accepted the fact that I'd gained feelings for the god of creation, Blue being more than ecstatic when he found out.

    I was once again sitting around, having Undernovela playing while I messed around with my strings. Suddenly, the familiar sound of a portal opening caught my attention, but I didn't bother looking over, knowing full well that it was Ink. "Back again I see," I stated with a smirk, finally looking over to Ink as he sat beside me. "Yep! But I thought we could possibly go somewhere..if you'd like to that is" he said a little unsure, a small hint of color dusting his cheekbones. I chuckled before closing Undernovela and standing up, gesturing for him to come with me. He beamed before going through the portal I opened to Outertale, since it's one of the only Aus I actually like. I knew why he wanted to go somewhere else besides the antivoid, being afraid of white and all, so I thought that having the many colors of space around would be a good change of scenery.

    We went for a walk through the forest, just talking about random things or talking about why we liked this au. As we continued walking further and further into the woods, we started seeing woodland creatures here and there, all of which would excite Ink, causing him to smile wide and his eyes to change into stars. I chuckled at him at one point, causing him to chuckle awkwardly before trying to contain his excitement. That is until a bird or something squawked pretty loud while flying out all of a sudden, catching Ink off guard and clinging onto me with a squeak. His hands were grabbing my jacket and my hands had grabbed onto his waist to support his near fall. I couldn't help but chuckle at his surprise while he blushed in embarrassment. When we both calmed down, we met each other's eyes, color dusting both of our cheek bones as we finally took in the position we were in, but we didn't move. Instead, I noticed that Ink's eyes were going crazy, showing his array of mixed emotions, but it only mesmerized me. As if on instinct, my eyes shifted towards his lips, wondering if he could possibly feel the same as I do. I mean, he wasn't pulling away, but what if he doesn't.

My eyes made their way back to his, deciding that I wanted to take this chance. I held him a bit tighter as I began to lean closer to him, watching his expression, before finally closing the distance between us. He tensed up before his grip on my jacket tightened and he began to kiss back. My soul danced with the happiness I felt in this moment. We soon pulled apart, not letting go just yet. When I looked back into his eyes,   they had changed to an orange exclamation point and a pink heart, his cheeks a bright rainbow, no doubt mine was any brighter. We let go of one another, Ink rubbing the back of his neck before asking, "Wanna go get some Nicecream?" I chuckled before grabbing his hand and responding. "Sure, squid."
