Sweetheart (Errorink)

Awkward Confessions

Okay guys I did the thing.. I did the ship thing guys we're getting to it originally they confessed to each other at chapter NINETY FIVE. so we're a bit further into the plotline than we're supposed to be...

Ink's POV

I knocked on the already open door, my eyes closed so I wouldn't have to look at him and his probable smug grin.

"Jesus Christ! What are you doing here?!"

I opened my eyes and stepped back at the voice.

"What am I doing here? What are you doing here?!" I yelled.

"Obviously I'm going through his stuff to find out what he's planning!" He yelled back, rummaging through the drawers on Nightmare's desk.

I cautiously took a step forward into the office, continuing to stare at him. "Well I also came here to figure out what he's planning, so where is he?"

"Ugh, he stormed off somewhere. He's probably killing all the inhabitants of an AU or something, I don't know." He responded, slamming the drawer shut.

I didn't say anything in return, instead choosing to step further in and keep watch of him. I liked being near him, I knew that, but I didn't exactly know why. I knew that I used to have.. weird, unspecified feelings that Nightmare labelled as love, but given his track record for lying..

"Hey, Error?"

He groaned, opening one of the drawers behind Nightmare's desk, "What is it, Ink?"

"Do you.. love me?"

He stopped, turning back to face me.

"I think it's obvious what I think of you, Squid." He mumbled.

I scoffed, "It's not obvious to me. Nightmare said-"

"H-he was being truthful for once, now can we move on?" He stuttered, looking away.

So he did love me? He should've admitted it earlier on, maybe we could've had something between us.

I took a step forward, trying to get a good look at his face. "You're blushing."

"Am not!"

I walked over and grabbed his chin, gently turning his face towards me.

"Are so."

He hit my hand away and stormed over to the other side of the office, mumbling something to himself. Did he even want to talk to me? Was I.. making it awkward for him?

"..Are you two actually dating, then?" I asked, trying to keep the conversation going.

He whipped around to face me, his blush fully on view.

"No! I guess so? I don't know!"

"You really gotta explain that."

"Ugh, he offered me a 'partnership' and I thought he meant just an official team thingy.. then I found out through Killer that we were.. dating." He explained, mimicking throwing up near the end.

"Through Killer?"

"Yeah, through Killer. He got pissy at me and started an argument and that's how I found out about it." He said, going back to looking through the office.

Well, I guess it made sense. Killer always seemed particularly close to Nightmare, for him to go after Error for dating him..

"Wait, you said it was complicated. Why haven't you just broken up with him?"
