Us? (Errorink) [On Hiatus]

Chapter 20:《"Chat"》

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

_" I am Arriane Piorah. The third goddess, it is a pleasure meeting you all once again."

She wore a dark violet veil that covered her face. A two laced white ribbon tied on her side, and lastly, an oval shaped ring on top of her head with medium purple crystal bits floating around, the black ring has a drippy type of design.

_" Catherine Piorah, delighted to meet you all."

Goddess Arriane and Goddess Catherine both look identical, considering both are twins. The only thing that made them differ from each other were their hair colour, choice of colour, and attire.

She had a black veil, a withered rose to her side, and a drippy oval shaped ring on top of her head with bits of medium magenta crystals freely shining.

_" Dianne Emerald. Greetings to all of you."

Her black skin perfectly fit her dark Emerald eyes as well as her formal attire with a dark green Cape and a red ribbon on her front. A suspicious aura glistened on her emerald tiara.

_" Delightful, now, Ink. You must be wondering why I am back quite early."

Her tone was soft and was giving the atmosphere a warmer and more comfortable feeling in the room. Her aura seemed to affect every person/monster uneasiness.

_" Yes, your grace."

More observing her, the black mask she normally wore seemed to have slight cracks from the lowly red tainted cheeks and onto across.

_" A new creation of mine came to arise yet had trouble knowingly some of my needed machines and projects were left here. So, I took it as an opportunity to now come back and take my creation with me for further research. I invited you here not only to express my gratitude for you serving the title of the protector, but would you like to help me, Ink?"

The four goddesses simply exchanged looks. They had clearly not expected this at all.

_" I am willingly at your service. What help would you need your grace?"

Tension suddenly sprouted on my body. It was highly an honour to serve her grace, yet I felt anxious for making a wrong move on it.

_" It is only simple, really. I would like you to have an opening to every AU while Catherine announces my early return and why. Would you be able to handle that?"

Not many know, and some might that their creator is back a little earlier than expected, but handling millions of AU's open is difficult. But. . .

_" Yes, your grace."

I softened my voice with a smile, and the atmosphere had a calm, warm, and relaxed feeling.

_" Thank you once again, Ink. After the announcement, you can take a break from your title, if you would like."

She chuckled at her statement.

_" Would you allow me to, your grace?"

I asked, weary that I might have misheard.

_" If you would like, I would be happy to let you."

She said, intertwining her hands up front in a calm and joyful manner.

_" Thank you, I would be more than glad to, your grace."

_" My fullest pleasure."

"CaNnOt b3IleIvE yOU uS3d yOuR bRaIn aNd mAd3 it Us3fulL." I said sarcastically towards Cross, who was dragging our target to the lower floor dungeon. "It was not me,(sadly) it was Kira. She simply asked me to carry him to the dungeon." He replied, mumbling something between his first four words. "I waSt3d My wOrDs oF fLatT3Ry to You, WhAt a ShAm3." I said disappointed. "Hey!" He shouted with a tone of offended. "I acClaIM heR FoR tHaT." I stared at Kira, who was laying full details about the mission towards Killer who was listening  about it while writing on his clipboard. Both looked very focused and are highly giving a strong attention towards this. 'These two take their roles really seriously. . .'

Shortly, Nightmare had arrived from the higher floor, and he then stood beside Killer. The three of them had a talk before Kira was dismissed, and so were we. Kira seems to mostly lock herself in her room or just training alone or with someone available in the garden. Killer is always busy with Nightmare, and Horror is hunting food or stealing it from other AU's (it is not for him but for his brother and the other monsters) Crusty Dusty is also occupied by his lover.

I opened a portal to Ink's and stepped in. I was greeted with Lust, asking questions from Ink about something. Ink had a formal attire and looked gorgeous on it. . .

I felt a rush of jealousy knowing I had not been able to hold Ink for the whole day. Now, here is Lust being intimately close to him. Ink glared at me. I guess he still hates me for earlier. "Your back." Ink said, with a tone of disappointment. "Where did you come from? A date?" He rolled his eye lights. "LoOK LoV3, I hAd aN iMpORtAnT me3tInG wIth NiGhTmAr3." I said, softening my expression. "With a tuxedo? How convincing." He said sarcastically. The atmosphere was highly uncomfortable with a feeling of guilt and hatred mixed. "Uhhh, I will be going now. It seems you both had an argument. Haha. . . See you soon, Ink darling!" Lust said, opening the door and leaving. He knew that it would be best to let us be for a while. It was just me and him.

I slowly stepped closer towards Ink, getting closer bit by bit. "Let me be." His red eyes threatened daggers. He twisted his body to his side. "I WiLl eXpLAiN tHiNgS FoR lAtER, fOrGiv3 mE lOv3." I said as I placed my right hand to his cheek, caressing it gently. He lowered his shoulders, his right eye with a colour of hot pink and the other purple. "Really?" He asked, now facing me. "Y3S." I responded. He glanced at his side for a moment, then hugged me. I chuckled as I patted his head. He nuzzled his head on my chest, and his firm grip behind me softened with warmth. My glitches worsened slightly as I asked; "HOw WAs th3 cHaT wItH tH3 gOdD3sSeS?" I asked in a soft tone, still a little glitchy. "Was tense, but went smoothly after. I will be more busy for tomorrow due to a request, but I will ask for help." He muttered out. "HmMm. . . WoNdErFuL dResS rEaLlY." Flattery was the best option. "Shut it." He said, his nuzzled head being more warmer than usual. It was obvious that he was flustered.

"Have you eaten? If not, I can cook for you." He softly muttered, looking up to me. "No n3Ed to, I aLrEaDy At3 dInNeR At tH3 cAstL3. HoW aBoUt yOU?" I asked, I felt bad for lying, but I felt full due to the long table hovered with sweets from the mission. I simply showed affection by caressing his cheek. "Alright then. . ." He said, his half opened eye. "TiR3d, hMM?" I mumbled, hugging the smaller gently while rubbing his back softly. "Mm-hmm. . ." I chuckled at his response and carried him bridal style. He did not seem to mind this one bit and had started to doze off in my hold. "You and I need to change quickly first, understand?" I sighed before saying my statement. "Mm-hmm. . ." He said lazily as I entered our shared bedroom and sat him on an armchair beside our closet. I grabbed some clothes before entering the bathroom to let him have privacy.

●~○~●

I came out of the bathroom to see my drowsy lover asleep softly in our shared bed, rubbing his warm body against the soft fabric. I chuckled, walking towards him. I pulled the hem of the sheets before laying down beside him. I cuddled closer, and he unconsciously mirrored my actions. I closed my eyes and let my body rest, shortly thinking of something reasonable to say for convincing Ink for tomorrow. "Goodnight, love." I whispered softly and let myself drip to sleep.
