Error sighed they were bored with nothing to do right now except watching Murder? Dust? Whatever the name they go by in this multiverse or something like that, Hoodie guy trying to kill externally crying ink guy and Error might as well join. 

He thinks it's been a day since they fell unconscious, they got enough or more magic to open a portal to the anti-void to grab something. Then he remembered Nightmare might scold him for ever if he does, but he doesn't give zero fucks, they are dying of boredom and they're pretty sure it's going to somehow end up with him commiting crimes and end up making enemies while being tired.

Plus they don't have anything  to distracted him with the yelling and screaming out their non-existent lungs out. Nor is he zoning out...he hates it. He can deal with loud noises 24/7 but this isn't home where he doesn't have to interact with random people because he has to. It's more like going outside and hearing a child cry that he instantly wants to drop kick them. nor is it school we're he has to tell himself to not murder really annoying students that don't know how to shut the fuck up. He's just in a random fictional evil negative skeleton place with two other skeletons who are at each other's throats.

But it's fine.

Absolutely fine. He isn't going to snap.

...

Okay he hasn't snap yet and they don't know if it has to do with patience or that murder is illegal and this is potential partnership. Error is going with none. 

At least it's two people and not 300 random people making such noise. Nor children crying.

They wouldn't mind if he explores the place right? Eh why does he care not like they can kill him. He looks to his side to observe the skeletons that don't know the definition of quite, Hoodie guy looks like their going to kill killer. Error doesn't pay attention to the both of them he looks at horror who is crouching next the wall for some reason. He looks ready to attack though.

Yeah they won't care...maybe. probably or not he stopped caring about what people think awhile ago.

He got up his body being sore but nothing they can handle. His feet touch the floor for the first time since he got here in this...house? They got up, he put his foot a bit up and ready to take a step when he immediately feels something hitting him on his back that it made him face plant to the floor.

"Where do you think your going?" The person behind him asked.

Error sighed and looked at who pushed him and was face to face with Nightmare who looks...Angry? If he wasn't bad at reading faces before he is now how do you make an angry face as a skeleton?

It took a few seconds for him to think of a response he rather think before saying something they don't say very often, than getting on Nightmares bad side. Or unless he's already on his bad side but hey how would he know.

"Uhhhh...I'm going Home?" He said even if it was more of a whisper.

Nightmare stared at him. He just looked around his surroundings and by the power of non-existent logic his hands are sweating which is pretty normal if you ask him.

"Hmm and where do you live?"

That question instantly made Error want to jump into one of inks dump traps well more like a building than anything but they're not picky. 

"Wh-why?" 

"It's seems so soon for you to leave though I guess it's been a few days." Answered Nightmare

Error scoffed at the response "Yeah I have job to do but why, porque, Why such a question?"

He felt his own patience slipping away slowly. He swears to Fate that if he doesn't ge-, his thought processes was interrupted by nightmare replying to him.

"I have a proposal for you"

-

Error didn't expect nightmares office to be so empty but also he didn't expect anything out of the octopus at all. Well it has some bookshelves with a table and chairs so it's not that empty.

"Hey!" Nightmares shout startled Error out of his thoughts.

"Yes?"

Nightmare scoffed "guess pretty boy is too distracted to hear my speech."

What? What is he? An archeologist? Thei-wait nevermind they forgot the ask Error thing. But they're not pretty boy he's at least mediocre or something they never cared about that. But why pretty boy?

"What?"

"Forget what I said. I was thinking if we could be allies." Nightmare said with a gentle tone.

Error immediately decided that Nightmare saying anything in a soft tone does not fit him at all. He became very wary about Nightmare at that moment.

"Why do you...think that?" He asked looking around a for bit they where on guard.

"We could both help each other when you need to recover and when we need to cause some negativity for the balance and for fun." He said cheerfully.

"Okay...what if I get ink to somehow understand?" He asked.

He observed as Nightmare started to frown. Why was he frowning? 

"Hm well it be a miracle if that happens. Though I guess the deal will end." He mumbled but Error still caught what he said. 

Though they can't understand what's wrong with Nightmare. But he guess he'll accept the offer just in case something happens in the anti-void.

"Sure I... accept the... proposal." 

"Great got to break the news to those idiots." nightmare said more... cheerful? 

"But I would recommend to stay a bit longer to know who you'll be working with."

Error knew they had to do that but that didn't mean that he had to like it. He groan following Nightmare out the door.
