*Error's room*

*Error's thoughts*
of all the times for my glitching to happen! why did it have to be right after a decent day? I haven't had one of these attacks in years and now suddenly after a dream of a black dragon and the school being closed it was somehow triggered again. What sucks about these attacks was the fact they hurt so bad that it clouds my judgement which is why I ran from ink. I didn't dare to be close to anyone during these even though there was a way to calm it to a manageable level however as far as I knew only my brother knew about how to calm them but, he had gone back to where he lived sense he had limited vacation time and so it was back to my old ways of dealing with them

Error's P.O.V
I made my way to my closet and quickly rummaged through trying to find what I was looking for and within moments I had managed to find it. It was a ball of blue yarn my brother gave me years ago and it had thankfully been untouched by my own blood and so it was the same softness it's always had. The ball of yarn has helped me get through tough spots so many times that I had kept it hidden from my parents knowing they would have literally destroyed it without remorse especially if they had known it had been from my brother. The two of them hadn't given a crap about us unless it forked in profit that they could then use for their own gains and so when my brother did finally get his own job and money he had any pay statements sent to a P.O. Box nowhere near where our parents got their mail.

My brother when he was able to had gone out of his way to get me brand new clothes, proper food as well as hygiene products such as body wash, toothbrushes and toothpaste. During one of our shopping trips that was when my papyrus got me the ball of yarn. Though I felt a bit weird about it at first it had actually helped more than I expected. It was made of a really soft material and to me felt like a cloud when I squeezed it. I'm pretty sure it is made of cotton however I didn't want to pay attention to the small details I just wanted to calm down right now.

As I played with the yarn I didn't hear anyone approaching my door and so when I heard a knock on it I jumped terribly and caused me to fall off my bed which hurt though I soon picked myself back up and went to answer it knowing it was ink just by the anxious energy running off him that was easy to detect. Thinking on it I don't blame him for checking on me especially since the way I acted would definitely make normal people concerned for me. Despite not really being ready to socialize I had let ink in mostly so I could calm him as well and then there was the fact that he deserved to know what was going on. I just hoped that he didn't think I was insane or something because if he turns his back on me I honestly don't know what I would do.

*Ink's P.O.V*

As I stood outside of error's door I had regretted not being at least a little louder as I could hear Error fall off his bed and let out a slight yelp in pain when he landed though I could soon hear shuffling as he picked himself up and heard him head to his door. though I could feel overwhelming amounts of fear from error's magic he most likely felt my anxiety. It was weird being able to sense each other's energy though I placed it in the metaphorical field of 'don't questioning it' and also placed it in the category 'likely came with the territory of dating'.

When error got to the door I could hear him unlock it before slowly opening it and gave me the signal to come in before he shut the door again and then picked up something blue which I relized to be yarn off his bed before he started playing with it again. For a little while neither of us said anything just staying in each other's presence however it wasn't exactly uncomfortable just a little awkward that was until error started talking. He had meantioned having terrible nightmares lately and that his most recent one had a black dragon like creature that had been the cause of him waking so suddenly. I found it weird that he saw a dragon especially one that appeared to have scared him so terribly in the first place.

I had told him that if he ever needed comfort that I would be there to help him and that he didn't have to worry about me getting angry at him for waking me up and explaining his concerns especially sense we were boyfriends and he didn't have to hide this stuff from me. I inwardly hoped he would do that for me too and found comfort when he had told me he would do the same and from there we just decided to enjoy each other's company and I was fine with it.
