Sans AU headcanons and Oneshots!!!!

Ink Birthday oneshot

Ink never remembered things, that included important things, like birthdays and other things. Don't get him wrong he felt horrible but he just couldn't remember! Surely no one would blame him for that?

"You don't remember what day it is?!" Swap snickers at him, Dream stood in the corner laughing at them but Ink knew it was far more directed at him.

"Oh my stars! Who's birthday or anniversary or whatever did I miss now..." Ink grumbles, putting his hands on his face in defeat and guilt.

"Ink. What day is it?" Dream says, stifling laughter with his hand. "Check your phone for the date."

Ink sighs and does exactly that, April 15th? What was that? "Okay, whose birthday is this?" He stops for a moment, "If it's even a birthday, are we doing something today maybe?"

Dream and Swap's jaws drop, turning towards each other. "Ink, how could you forget this?" Dream gawks, more giggles spewing out despite their trying their hardest to prevent such.

"What? What is it?!" Ink began feeling desperate now, he hoped to stars it wasn't one of their birthdays.

But... Dream and Swap's have both already happened.

Then what was happening today?

Dream and Swap both look at each other, seemingly getting the same idea, they had that smile on their faces that made you think they were up to something and surely they were. Usually Ink was in on their trouble making and usually supported it unless he was on the other side.

Dream laughs and grabs Swap, pulling him out of the room giggling and whispering leaving a confused and slightly hurt Ink behind them.

Ink lets out a sigh, he can't believe he forgot something else he has the brain and memory of a goldfish, or Dory, she was similar to Ink. He rummages through his scarf, grabbing and at any loose paper or reminder scribbled down, many were months old and were unneeded now, but he did remember to go to the doodle sphere to check on a certain AU that had been interesting.

He quickly forgets about remembering what he forgot and heads on to do his new task, go look at that AU that... he can't remember the name of and he forgot to write down.

Well, he was stuck.

He decides to go to the doodle sphere anyway, maybe to look for something about...? He forgot something he just can't remember what it was. Darn.

Creating a little Ink puddle and hopping in, he arrives in the doodle sphere, then he finds a jar of peanuts on the ground.

And starts eating the peanuts, and then he draws a detailed picture of a cashew. Now he wants cashews.

So he goes to some random surface AU, he can't remember and buys bulk cashews now he has 25 lbs of cashews. It was 250 gold, he just spent 10 gold a pound of cashews. He forgets about the cashews and doesn't eat any.

He instead painted a mural for 6 hours, it was a plate of spaghetti. A tasty looking one too, better than OG Papyrus's. Ink shudders, Papyrus could make a mean spaghetti, that was because it was literally mean. It hurt Ink's tongue and stomach.

He then realizes he forgot to put parmesan on the spaghetti, darn.

Ink wants parmesan.

Ink buys parmesan.

It tastes like parmesan.

Ink gets a call, Ink takes the call.

"What do you want?" Ink answers the call, annoyed that his parmesan eating was interrupted. He hears laughing on the other end, it was Swap's.

"Come back to the base we have a surprise." He says cheerily, Ink could almost hear his smile.

"Okay!" Ink had forgotten about the parmesan and left it on the floor.

When he hopped through his Ink portal he was met with only darkness, maybe Swap was playing another prank on him? Dream had stopped the prank wars when Ink blew up the kitchen. Dream was no fun sometimes, Swap had been laughing, mostly in horror though. Maybe that actually was why they weren't allowed to have fun anymore.

He took a few steps before calling out, "Swap? Dream? Samantha?" He lets out a snicker at his own joke. "I don't even know a Samantha." He finishes the quote.

"Boo." Someone had creeped up behind him while he was quoting Frozen 2, Ink shrieked and flailed, falling over and hitting his head on the ground. Laughter broke out from the skeleton that once the lights turned on he quickly found to be Swap. He was about to yell at him before he heard a chorus of "Happy Birthday"'s.

Ink whipped his head around to see Dream standing with many of their friends, Evan Classic and Fell were there, most likely by the request of Swap.

"Awww you guyss!" He says completely forgetting about Swap staring at him menacingly and jumping up to tackle hug Dream who hugged back with laughter.

"You remember what day it is now?" Swap asks, chuckling.

"Does it happen to be my birthday?" Ink laughs out with a smile heavy on his cheeks, "I completely forgot!"

"We know." Both Swap and Dream say in unison, then giggle as they do so.

Ink was pushed over to the table that had a pretty decent pile of presents and a three tiered cake that Swap had obviously had fun with. That little brat was a fabulous cook.

Ink never had any sort of need for material possessions but that said, he did like them. Specifically when they were from Dream and Swap. Swap had gotten him an entire printout of a 200k fanfic about him and Error falling in love that Ink and Dream had laughed at for a full minute before everyone began to worry for their sanity. Swap had also gotten him the cutest little keychain with a paint pallet and paint brushes on it!

Dream got him an entire pad of those stickers teachers would put on kids' work if they did good and Ink immediately put one on Swap's head, Ink also received gifts from the other monsters there but they weren't ever going be as meaningful as the stupid dumb cute little gifts his best friends got him.

The cake was, as always, so good it ascended Classic to what he claimed to be Jesus Christ. Dream didn't even know who that was, Swap had to sit there for 6 minutes explaining Christian lore to Dream.

Dream was in fact slightly traumatized.

CRASH!

"DO YOU GUYS WANT BEER?!" Swap yells from somewhere in the base, he seems to have tripped.

That question was answered with a flurry of cheers, whoops and laughter, Ink smiles, Swap was so clumsy for someone so athletic.

How did he get so lucky?
