————————————

Ink was busy doing his job. He have been in the doodle sphere for..... wait, how much time has passed already? Ink's mind jumbled, memories were erasing from his mind as usual. As he read and read, draw what he read, the cycled repeated yet again. When did he last slept? When did he last eaten something? When.. did he rest? How many hours have passed already? Did an hour go by? Or was it just a minute?

Ink didn't bother to check, he has a job to do and that is to assist the Creators. He is too busy to even protect the aus when his 'non-existent' soul ached. If he remembered clearly, he kept refilling his vials too many times, which means many days went by already. Even if he kept forgetting to drink them, Fate would always urge him to drink more. Sometimes overdosing him, but that is just normal occurrence to Ink.

Now though... Ink's vials are almost empty and yet Fate haven't checked on him yet. Ink would definitely worry about it, if his mind weren't hyperfocus on his duty, that is. More like forced duty actually.

"Okay fine, I will TRY to befriend you... ONLY because Blue requested it, okay?" Dream said grumpily, like a child going to throw a tantrum. Blue was literally vibrating from where he is currently standing on. Error looked shocked, uncomfortable, but also a bit grateful that his enemy's ally is trying to befriend him. He wanted peace and he is slowly getting it. But he can't just bluntly believe him that fast though, he need to observe him first to see if he would betray him or something.

As Error was about to respond out loud, his soul tighten unexpectedly, making him loudly intake a breath. He grunted as he kneel on the ground, clutching where his soul resided in hopes of lessening the pain. Ink must have another 'creation spree' again. Damn, oh how much he hate those.

Blue immediately assists Error, gently patting his back and head. Error glitched a bit but buried his head on Blue's shoulder, trying not to scream in pain. Dream doesn't know what to do. He couldn't believe it, he noticed the uncomfortable, irritation, and despair emotions coming from Error.

"Wh-what is happening? Is he alright?" Dream asked Blue. "HE... UHM..." Blue doesn't know how to explain this. "YOU KNOW THAT HE IS THE DESTROYER RIGHT? AND INK IS THE CREATOR? WELL... ERROR CAN FEEL A BIT UNCOMFORTABLE IN HIS SOUL WHENEVER INK CREATES AN AU. AND UHM, IF HE IS CREATING TOO MUCH IN SUCH A SHORT TIME, WHICH WE CALLED 'CREATION SPREE', HE WOULD FEEL WHAT HE'S CURRENTLY FEELING..."

"H-how come I didn't know this? You know how Ink does in his Doodle Sphere." Dream looked concerned. "ERROR DOESN'T LIKE IT WHEN WE OPENLY TELL OTHERS ABOUT HIS WEAKNESS. WHAT IF INK WOULD SEE IT AS AN ADVANTAGE AND HURT HIM EVEN MORE? AND! YOU WEREN'T FRIENDS WITH ERROR UNTIL NOW- I- I MEAN, LIKE, UHM, YOU GUYS ARE NOW FRIENDS, RIGHT?" Blue didn't mean to came off rude, even though what he said wasn't rude. It was just his habit to say 'sorry' most of the time.

After a few minutes of Blue and Dream talking with each other, the pain on Error's soul subsided. Dream noticed it before Error informed Blue that he is fine now. Error felt embarrassed and angry at himself for showing such weakness in front of an enemy-that-is-trying-to-befriend-him. Error wanted to leave soon and probably don't talk to Dream because it would be embarrassing.

"C-c@N w3 G0 n0W? 1 H@v3 7h1Ng$ 70 Do." Error grumbled. Blue nodded fast while Dream was unsure still but he need to trust Blue so he nodded too. Blue opened up a portal to the Star Sanses base and drag Dream with him to the portal. "BYE ERROR! BE SAFE PLEASE!" while Dream waved at Error, unsurely.

Now, Error was left alone. He opened up a portal, but before he went through, he heard some voices. He wanted to immediately get away but the voices are too familiar for him. Probably from this au. No way he don't know all the monsters who can au travel.

"Ughh... I Swear! When I Do Get To See Him, I Am Going To Lecture Him For Hours!"
"Puff, dear, don't be so violent." the second voice chuckled.
"But Life! He Is Practically Incapable Of Taking Care Of Himself. He Is Too Much Like My Brother, Sans!"
"Calm down, dear. Probably he is in those 'situations' again?..."
"Situations? Wha- Oh.... I Hope Not. I Hate It When He Shows Up With Bruises And Broken Bones. It Hurts My Soul..."

Error had enough eavesdropping and immediately went through the portal to another au. Whatever he just heard, he must be imagining it from the fatigue. He shook his head and decided to forget what just happened. "@nOtH£r D@y... @N0Th€r SuFf£R1nG...." He sighed and pulled out the strings from his eyes.
