Together again(errink)

Error blinked his mouth, opening, and closing, trying to get the words out. "... W-well, what about your b-birthday...? or Christmas?" he asked; surely Ink must have done something on those days.

"What are those? Am I supposed to know?" Ink asked, getting nervous.

Error was sure the surprise on his face could be seen by everyone there. This was such common knowledge, yet Ink had been kept in the dark. "Well...normally yes.. birthdays are the day you're born, you get cake and presents, and your friends hang around and do whatever you want," he said. He was going to make sure Ink got to experience that the next chance he got, "And Christmas is when you decorate and bring a tree in. And everyone is extra nice... it's annoying sometimes."

Ink is now visibly upset. "I never had those things... There was a day my parents were extra nasty to me... It would be... About a few days or so from now..."

Error gripped the menu tighter. Of course, he couldn't be sure, but it did sound like they would hate the day ink was born. "I won't put it past them... to treat you bad on your birthday," he said. "WAIT, a few days? Like how many days from now?" he asked. The waitress came back, and he told her two of the saoyu ramen.

"Three days? Yeah, three. They would remind me that I was lucky to be alive and was a mistake..." Ink says. "I just got used to it."

That added up to Error. And it made him mad to think that Ink was mistreated. " Well, get used to being treated well from now on. " Error said. Three days was short, but he could let everyone know. "We're giving you a party."

"Umm... Okay..." Ink says. "What exactly is a party?" He felt less ordinary now, knowing everyone celebrated their birthday instead of dreading it.

Error thought it over, not mad at Ink at all. This wasn't his fault, after all. "Well, the core is hanging out with friends and doing what you think is fun," Error said as their ramen came. He picked up the chopsticks, there was also a fork and spoon provided, but he was used to these for ramen. "Then there can be deffernt kinds. Like where it's at, or there is a theme..." he said, picking up the boiled egg "in reality...I never had an actual party myself...sure, my brothers were around, but I usually just wanted the cake... it might have been deffernt if we weren't forced apart."

"Forced apart?" Ink asks quietly, also picking up the chopsticks but failing to hold them right before they slip out of his hand and to the floor.

"think about it...we were friends, good ones. If I was holding your hand in those pictures...then suddenly, you're gone. And your parents tried to erase me... and it's clear they hate me so..." Error could conclude that inks parents had a hand in it. "I wouldn't be surprised if they had moved just to get you away from me..." He sighed and was quiet for a minute. " Just use the spoon or fork. Chopsticks take some getting used to"

"Oh... Why don't you talk to your brothers...?" Inks asks softly, picking up the fork.

"fresh is a freak; you saw that yourself..." Error said, more annoyance in his tone, but he was willing to put up with fresh as he had shown for Ink. "...as for Geno...he said that I should try to be 'normal' or just...stop embarrassing him and kill myself...that was back in high school...refused to talk to him ever since," he said with a shrug, he slurps up some noodles.

Ink sits up straight, narrowing his eye sockets, "I want to chat with him." His voice had no emotion behind it, something that very rarely happens. He wants to give Geno a piece of his mind. He wouldn't hesitate to fight Error's brother. "Let me meet him. I have a few... Choice words I want to say to him."

Error straightens up in surprise, not at inks tone more that someone wants to defend him. It was weird for error "...I don't even know how to find him even if I wanted to... well, mom and fresh might, but I don't want to give them the wrong idea about forgiving him or some shit," he said but smiled "it's okay ink, it was years ago... though if you want to mom has been wanting me to visit around Christmas... and I know he would be there."
