Reality is Blind - Chapter 6

Ink's POV

  We all sat around the fireplace. We were all excited to finally see which couple would spend the night together in the suite. I had a feeling which two would go.

  Britney sat next to me, holding my hand even though I knew she didn't exactly want to. Pantha was with Hoof, Martina with Error, and Rashta with Jason.

  The hostess finally showed, wearing the most gorgeous dress. There was a card in her hands, the chosen couple was written on that.

Hostess: Are we ready?

  The girls agreed with her. They were all ready to... well... have the chance to have sex with their partner.

Hostess: Wonderful. The first couple to go into the suite will be... Martina and Error.

I glanced at the two. Error's face was expressionless. I could not tell what he was thinking. Martina grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the forbidden room.

(Time Skip)

I did a light sketch while sitting on the couch in the living room. Hoof and Jason talked with one another, discussing the possible futures that they could have with their partners.

I thought about how I have lived in the villa. I have tried to be straight but it doesn't seem that I have fallen in love with any of the girls. Of course they're attractive but they're not my preferred type of attractive.

  There was a sudden voice, drawing our attentions in the direction it came from. Error was leaning against the wall before sitting with us on the long curved couch.

  The other two stared at him with a curious expression.

Jason: I think you know what we're all dying to ask.

Error: I know. No we didn't.

Hoof: Why not? Martina is the wildest one out of all of them.

  Error rubbed the back of his neck.

Error: There was definitely make out sessions but I don't think we're ready for that.

Jason: Oh, what does the suite look like?

Error: Like Valentines blew up on there. Lots of hearts.

  They two nodded, ready for the next part of the conversation. However, Britney and Pantha walked into the room. They encouraged both of the guys to join them for hanging out. Reluctantly the two joined them which left Error and I alone in the living room.

Error: Hey Ink.

Me: Yeah?

Error: Wanna see the room?

  I nodded. I was actually very interested in seeing what the room looked like. That was one of the mysteries of the TV show as there were no cameras in the suite. I knew I was never going to be voted to stay the night in there so this was my opportunity.

  I followed Error, excited to solve a mystery that I have had since the beginning of "Romance Paradise".

  When we entered the room I was surprised. The room wasn't like what I had expected. Error spoke in a tone that made the room seem like a tacky heart themed sex room. However, it was actually a very cozy bedroom that I thought was well designed. Yes there were a bit too many hearts but it wasn't too hard on the eyes.

Me: This is really different than what I imagined.

Error: You like it?

Me: You could say that.

  There was silence between us. As I explored the room, I could feel Error's gaze on me.

Error: I know your secret, Ink.

  I froze and turned my body to look at him.

Me: What are you talking about?

Error: I know that you love men. I didn't think I would find anyone like you in this place, anyone like me.

  I backed up against the wall, feeling sudden fear.

Me: Anyone like you?

Error: I'm not actually straight either.

  He said while walking towards me.

Me: You're gay? Wait, this is a setup. You're trying to get me caught.

Error: I'm not.

Me: How do I know you're not lying?

  Error sighed before grabbing my hand and placing it over his chest. He pinned me against the wall before kissing me.

  My eyes widened and my face was soon covered with rainbow. I felt his soulbeat. It was beating quickly, different than the pace from yesterday. That was Error's way of telling me that he wasn't lying.

  He pulled away and stared into my eyes, keeping me against the wall.

Error: I had to find an opportunity and I got tired of waiting for you so... I'm just going to say it now. I'm in love with you, Ink.

  The rainbow on my cheeks became more apparent. I threw all of my progress out the window as I cupped Error's face and kissed him back.

  He wrapped his arms around my waist and slowly moved us to the bed while we made out. I was pushed down to the bed with gentle force and my brown scarf was removed from my neck.

  I broke from the kiss and gave Error a worried look.

Me: You said you weren't ready for that.

Error: ...

I was lying~
