Tied Up With You

Dating Start

We went to a small shopping town in one of the many developed Outertale universes.

I couldn't help but ask myself: 'Is this considered a date?'

The people peeked from the windows and doors as we walked down the street. It must have been a strange sight. A colorful glitch walking next to a monotone skeleton.

A whole bunch of folk seem concerned, but I plan on making sure Error has a good time and if anyone thinks anything different they can speak to the edge of my blade.

"It's actually the destroyer of universes." 

"The destroyer is shopping like a normal monster." 

The whispers were there. And it seemed like Error was becoming uncomfortable. So I pulled him close to me.

Error is probably loaded with how many souls he has taken. Money shouldn't be a problem.

We head into the first shop a dress shop where Error falls in love with an off-shoulder red sweater dress.

Maybe next time I will take Error to a universe where he won't be as recognized, but how do I disguise him, he is captivating in all aspects with the fact he is just him.

"Ooh, Crossy, I like this too!" He says holding up a golden hair pin with Stars on it.

'Crossy? Am I his boyfriend now or something?'

I feel myself blush at the name but I won't ever say that to Error lest his tsundere comes out again.

"You and what hair?" I say covering my blush.

Error puts a hand to his chin. Then a glimmer fills his eye sockets.

He starts to rub his head and a mess of curly, misty dark blue hair falls from his head and extends down to the floor. It looks almost like his strings, but finer.

It needs a good combing through, but we can do that later because it is matted.

Error then proceeds to stick the hairpin into his hair(?).

I run my hands over my skull and brush the fur on top.

'Guess he has hair.'

I kneel down and pick up the hair.

And he gasps and turns to watch me.

I take it up and smell it.

It is in need of a good wash and comb, but if anything it is healthy growth. We can work on washing it later.

We stopped by a soap shop and bought some jasmine, sweet almond and pine tree soap.

By the end of the day out I was carrying all of Error's bags while Error, wearing a pink shawl and pink sunglasses skips in front of me.

He suddenly stops and turns around smoothly and pulls down his sunglasses.

"Don't I look cute Cross?" He asks putting a hand on his knee.

"You are cute." I state. Which is the truth. Error looks adorable in those glasses and shawl. Like a famous person.

Either I am boyfriend material and this is a date. Or I am a butler for an excitable master.
