Tied Up With You

First Steps

I visit the Anti-Void to check up on Error. I find him watching Undernovela

"Error." I call out his name.

I walk up to him and sit down.

I pull out a chocolate bar, some tacos and taquitos

"I brought you something to eat." I say.

Error stops watching his show and turns towards me.

"Oh... Thanks."

I watch as those tongues pull his food into his mouth. And for some reason I want to know how those brilliant blue appendages taste.

"So it has been a while since I have been here. How have you been doing?"

Error pauses and looks sadly down at the food.

"I have been doing okay."

'Uh oh. What is that about? Is he sad?' 

I never seen that look on him before. This is a first.

I put my hand to his chin and guide his face in my direction.

"What is with that sad face?" I ask still holding his face.

Usually, I never see Error in a state of sadness other than feeling upset and frustrated. It is harder to read because I don't know what could be making him sad.

"Did Asgoro die?" I ask looking at Error's one-way portal.

He pushes my hand off of his chin and shakes his head.

"I just..." He looks over at me.

Oh... I think I understand now.

"It must be lonely in here all on your own. No one you really comes to visit you."

He breathes in sharply. 

'I guessed right.'

"Did you miss me—"

"No! I didn't miss you." Error yells, flustered.

He quickly turns and folds his arms.

"Of course Error. How could I forget that you are just too cute."

"I am cute!" He says proudly, relaxing a bit.

Error finally finished all the food I brought for him and once again looks sad.

"Cross, I am getting bored." Error says fiddling with his hands.

"Why don't we go out then?" I say.

"Out there? What would the people say when they see me?"

"Don't worry about that." I say. "Let's just focus on having fun."
