Error was taking a plastic bag of his wet clothes which Ink had washed before getting ready to leave.

"So, your gonna have room for 3 cars? How big is your place?" Ink asked. "Technically, room for 4 since my car is still there. But yes. Let's just say I've had a few lucky wins here and there and my house was one of them. " Error said. "Obviously." Ink said as they then got outside and into Ink's car. "Now you know where we're going?" He said. "Like the back of my hand." Error said as Ink smiled and nodded. Driving off and the whole ride was pure bliss. Error easily telling Ink where to go and still being able to talk and have good fun.

Once reaching Error's block, Ink was a little impressed and intimidated by how large it was just for 3 houses in each road slots. Error pointed to his. "That large black one with the blue and grey roof." Error said, that house basically had it's own area and Ink was very surprised. "Are you sure you aren't some big business man or something?" Ink said as Error helped him pull into the garage. "Yep. Not anywhere in business. Just lucky." Error said as Ink hummed, Error getting out of the car and taking some keys out of his pocket and walked to the door within the garage and opened it. Ink looking around at how fancy and clean the garage was. "Gee.." Ink mumbled and Error walked and removed his shoes, sighing softly and glad to be home. "You can have the room right here or another one of the 4 available ones." He said and Ink nodded slowly. "Okay. " He said.

Eventually after settling things were fine. Ink was still surprised on Error's large house even though he stated he didn't do anything big or important but, still settled and it was finally time for Error's brothers to arrive. Error was really excited, it had been at least since they were young teens the last time he got to see his brothers.

Ink was a little exited himself to see what Error's older brothers would be like. Soon enough, the door bell ran and Error quickly went to the door and opened it. "Geno!!!!" "Error! Good to see you little brother!" He said as the two hugs and Ink blinked while standing up. "Geno?" He said as Geno pulled away from Error and blinked. "Ink? What are you doing here?" He said with a small chuckle and Error blinked, confused as Reaper walked in with Shino holding his hand, Raven behind his leg and holding Goth. "Heya...uh.. Ink?" He said as Ink blinked. Everyone going silent until Goth started to cry and  the three adults broke there silent stare and stand, Ink helping Geno with Shino and Raven while Reaper tented to Goth. Error being both confused hurt, but having a feeling of why he was confused.

It wasn't any easier when Fresh arrived with his boyfriend Cross and Error being deeply embarrassed and shameful he had no idea that Ink already knew his brothers and that Ink's brothers were with his- yeah, add temporary-confusion to the list.

Error was in his room with his hands over his head and Geno sitting next to him, everyone just doing there own things to settle in. Ink was unaware Geno was already going for comforting Error so he stubbled upon their conversation that half-answered and raised questions.

"Hey.. it's okay.. sure- it was a little awkward you didn't know that your new friend happened to be new family and all but-" Geno tried to say, but Error cut him off.

"But, because I had a dick of a fiance, who kept me from going to your wedding, baby showers and birthdays I knew nothing about you or Fresh's lovers by name and family!... " Error cried with the small walk around rant then sat back down with some tears.

"H-Hey-! That wasn't your fault...there was a lot going on...and I don't blame you for missing out...it wasn't your fault and I know if you would have been freed sooner you would have been to everything..." He said as Error laid on Geno's shoulder. "Even when I think it's over...when I think I'm done worrying about what he's done...he still fucks my life up even when not here..." He said as Geno frowned.

He hated seeing his little brother like this. It hurt him a lot. "And that... I'm never getting my son back and..even though I got my house back it's... It's not enough...took my life, my family, my friends, my son, my love...he stole everything and still after 6 years he's still fucking with my life... that's what I get for being dumb and blind for marriage and success..." Error said. Geno pulling Error into a hug and Error holding onto him tightly.

Ink walked away careful, quite and gently as he had a million thoughts run through his head.

Why would anyone want to hurt such a good person as Error? Who was that guy?
How old was that guy? If 6 years ago Error was only 18!
Why would Error go into love so fast?
Was Error in some kind of trouble that made him get engaged?
Is that why Error was embarrassed and quiet when I asked what he did for a living like Geno and Fresh?
How long till Error would have told me? I know we're just friends but...still be important to know after what happened.
What does he mean by even with that guy being gone?
Is that guy dead?
Or in prison?
Or did Error just somehow get him to leave?!

Ink's head was flowing with questions and thoughts that kept him quiet until his elder brother Reaper tapped his shoulder. "Hey little bro, you have something on your mind? Aside from that awkward greet? Heh-" Reaper said as Ink shook his head. "It's nothing" he said. "Please, were adults now. I know when something is bugging you, you become really quiet in deep thoughts. You feeling ok? " He said. " Why wasn't Error at your wedding? I mean, I was there, I didn't see him." Ink asked as Reaper rubbed his head.

" I really shouldn't...not that I don't trust you but..it took me a long time to get Error to trust me with Geno and I don't want to lose that trust...and it's a tough topic that I suggest not bringing up to Error, since he probably already feels bad that he was clueless you already knew his brothers..." He said. " I will just say that, there were, complicated things going on at the time and those six years where really tough..." He said. Ink nodding and being left with a few more questions than before.
