Us? (Errorink) [On Hiatus]

Chapter 14: 《"Surprise"》

-----------------------------------------------
-=Ink's point of view=-

"Sweet dreams, Paperjam."

A knock emitted from the door. I slowly picked up Pj off my lap and gently laid him down the sofa. I used the pillows to support his skull. He flinched but soon fell to his slumber softly. I hurriedly walked towards my door and opened it to reveal Cross and Reaper standing in front of me. "Ink." Reaper spoke. 'He seems serious...' "Uh, w-what brings you here, older brother?" The tension was thick, and Reaper was intensely glaring at me while Cross just scoffed. "It's cold outside. Please come in." I moved to the side and motioned my siblings to enter. They both walked inside, and I gently closed the door. I turned to see Cross looking confused while staring at the sofa, and Reaper's weird aura intensified.

"U-uh, who's t-this?" Cross asked, pointing at the sleeping child. "This is Paperjam. Pj for short." I giggled at my sentence. "Better question. Who's child is this?" Reaper asked, turning his skull to face mine. "I do not know. I only found him on some deserted AU me, and Ruru used to fought." I sighed, lowering my head. "Well, I need a private talk with you, Ink comyet." Repear spoke, gritting his 'teeth'. I swallowed my saliva with nervousness while beads of sweat formed on my skull. I followed him to the kitchen.

_" You never told me you had a child with him." I was confused.

_" Me? N-no! He's not mine." I opposed his statement. He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

_" Do you not notice? He has black bones and painted cheeks, and his eyes are even similar." He said frustrated. I felt my cheeks become warmer.

_" I-i know. But, how." I cupped my elbows with my hands, turning my skull to the side.

_" I should be asking you that." My cheeks brightened.

_" N-no! M-me and Ruru d-didn't do it!?" I stuttered my words, not wanting him to misunderstand.

_" Then maybe magic." I raised a 'brow' at him.

_" Just get him to Sci. He may know who's its actual parents and how that child was made." I sighed heavily.

_" Alright. Anything else?"

_" Coffee."

_" Mhm. Watch Pj and Cross for me." He nodded, exiting the kitchen.

-=Error's point of view=-

"You think she can make it out alive?" Horror asked, fiddling with his axe. "Pr0bAblY." I responded. "I'm still having some suspicions on that liquid." Dust added. "LiK3 wHaT?" I asked, not turning away from crocheting a double of Swap for Dust. "I don't know. But I have a feeling it's bad." He replied, leaning on the wide sofa. "Maybe I can help you with that." We turned to look for  the source of the voice. It was Killer. He took steps towards then sat beside Dust. "It was caused by memories. The aura of her agony/pain was too strong and was converted through that liquid." He concluded. Dust just let out an "Oh." Then silence filled the living room. "Have you ever wondered where she came from?" Horror asked, glancing on all of us. "Good point." Dust replied. "It'S a hUmAn. S0 yOu kNoW wH3Re sHe cAm3 fRoM." I responded, glancing at Horror. "Yeah, but what if hers is different?" He tilted his skull to the side. "Th3N dOn'T asK m3." I rolled my pupils, turning my attention back to the doll.

"So, how was your small fluffy 'intercourse' with boss Killer?" Horror asked smugly, raising a 'brow' filling him with confidence. "I-intercourse!?" Killer asked with his void-like eyes widening in shock. Dust burst out laughing at his reaction. Horror was chuckling, and I just continued with my business. "Me and Ni-, I mean 'boss', did not have intercourse!" Dust started laughing harder. "Uh-huh." Horror replied. Killer let out a sigh. I can't blame him, tho. Horror likes to tease others to receive embarrassed and other reactions from us. "DuSt. ShUt IT." I hissed annoyed by hearing his laughter and horror's bickering. The atmosphere slowly turned silent. Killer glanced at the time. "Are you all not going to rest for the night? It's past 9:00." He said, catching Dust and Horror's attention. "Hm. I'm going to bed. Night." Dust said, stepping out of the living room and to the stairs. "Same here. Good night." Horror followed, "I'll be joining your walk upstairs. Horror. Good night, Error." I nodded and was left alone.

"Ruru?" A familiar voice asked behind me. I turned to its source and saw Kiki holding a sleeping child in his arms. "KiK8? WhAt aR3 yOu DOiNG h3rE? AnD wHo'S tHat?" I lowered the doll and the crocheting needles《I don't know what they're called, please bare it with me.》standing up from my position and came closer to my dear lover. "Um, would you please open a portal back to my place and talk about it there? Repear needs an explanation about our relationship." He chuckled at his statement. The child shifted for a moment, alerting Kiki for a second, then calming down. I didn't hesitate and followed his request, I grabbed the doll and teleported it back to my provided room in the castle. We both entered the portal, and I closed it behind us.

I saw an irritated Reaper leaning onto the back of the sofa and a panicked Cross stuttering nonsense to Kiki's older brother. His brother's aura was unexplainable, and Cross's pace became calmer when he noticed us. "Good. Now Error, explain how you got my younger brother a child." Reaper said sternly, leaving me froze like a statue in my spot. Kiki sighed. "I'll go upstairs." He mumbled, walking to his destination. My glitches worsened, and I crashed unexpectedly in front of them.

《After Error regained consciousness and some bickering with Death and Cross:》
-----------------------------------------------
"I still do not approve of this." Reaper growled with frustration. "Let them be, brother." Cross spoke sipping from his coffee, which he had before the bickering started. "As long as you treat them both to how you're supposed to and be there for the child, then I won't be complaining." Cross spoke, lowering his head for another sip of his chocolate coffee. "Fine. But if you hurt him, I will not hesitate to get your brother pregnant." Reaper said, glaring at both me and Cross. "ExUs3 mE?" My left eye-socket twitched in annoyance and anger. "Th3N I WoN'T h3SiTaTe iN gIvInG yOu a SeCoNd nI3Ce." I growled at him.

"U-uh hey Error! Y-you should g-go check Ink! I-its already really l-late he might be staying up until d-dawn again." Cross spoke stuttering, breaking the thunderous glaring contest. Which me and Reaper had. I stood up from the sofa. Due to my feeling of frustration and anger, I showed no little hesitation of leaving them be. But of course, I sent a frustrated look to Reaper and then left. Walking through the stairs, Kiki's voice could be heard. Reaching the hallways, his voice grew louder. I slowly peeked through the left unclosed gap of the door to its frame. A small yellow glowing circular device was placed on the nightstand close to the bed where Kiki sat.

_" Are the creators having a quarrel again? Ugh. What is it this time?" He asked, fed up.

_" It's the elder gods."

_" It's the what?" Silence was filled within the room with the sound of soft snores emitting from a child.

_" Surely you've heard about the first gods appearing in the multiverse, right?"

_" Mhm. And what about it?"

_" Well, there here. All the five elder gods are now holding a ball in the Eustral castle. You're invited."

_" T-there back? But why am I invited? Also, they are a few years early, too."

_" This may sound absurd, but the head goddess of Eutral court invited you."

_" W-what!? 'The' god of the five gods!? The creator of the whole multiverse invited me?"

_" Well, that's the truth. Since you've been the protector for, well decades, they wanted to express their gratitude by holding a ball. And for the celebration of the head goddesses' first appearance after aeons of staying in her void."

_" When will the ball start?"

_" Two days. This means the ball will be held on friday, 9:00 pm. All the creators are invited as well."

_" Thank you, Cecillia. This information was indeed helpful."

_" You're welcome, Ink. Meet you in the ball."
