Listen To Your Heart (ErrorFresh)

Chapter 8: A Shocking Discovery, But Then There's Skittles

Fresh and Blue looked shared a look of concern for their glitchy friend.

"ERROR?" But Error wouldn't, didn't want to, reply.

"H-hey, brah, listen, I..." Fresh trailed off, his glasses blank. "I'm sorry. I know I all up and snatch bodies, have no un-rad emotions, and don't care about anyone-" Fresh choked on the words. "-But I'm tryin' my best to apologize, broski."

"I know," Error finally replied. "I know."

"What?" Fresh's glasses changed to question marks.

"I know all too well. After all, who would want to feel? It's awful." Error laughed sadly.

"Homie," Fresh began sternly. "I've been empty for a long time, brah, and it's not fun. All the time you gotta all up and pretend that you're 'happy', but that 'happiness' inside you is an un-rad lie. And I ain't no liar!"

"THEN STOP LYING TO YOURSELF." Blue spoke up. "BOTH OF YOU. YOU CAN BOTH BE HAPPY IF YOU JUST BE FRIENDS."

"Happy?" Fresh echoed, scoffing at the thought. "Brah, have you even met me?"

"Happy," Error whispered to himself. "I want to be happy..."

"I mean, I do too, brah, but that's literally impossible."

"ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!" Blue smiled. "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF YOU JUST BELIEVE IT CAN BE."

Fresh was silent.

Error glanced up at him.

SHIP.

SHIP!

SHI--

Error rolled his eyes at the voices.

Fresh looked uncomfortable, which was incredibly accurate.

"Okay, I'm gonna be 100% honest with you bros right now," Fresh sighed. "I was all up and spyin' on you when you two were talkin'."

"You were spying!?" Error glitched lightly.

"Sorry!" Fresh muttered, continuing. "Anyway, broskis, I felt somethin'."

"FELT!?" Blue's pupils turned to stars. "OHMYGOSHYOUCANHAVEEMOTIONSTHATMEANSMYERRORFRESHDREAMSWILLCOMETRUEOHMYGOSHTHISISJUSTLIKEMYFANFICTION!!"

Error narrowed his eyes. "Felt what?"

Fresh shrugged. "Like I wanted to kill someone, I dunno. I just wanted somethin' so badly, and to see someone else get it.."

"Jealous," Error smirked. "You were jealous!"

Fresh huffed. "Whatever, bro."

Error gave a smile, a real, genuine smile. Maybe communication did do something.

Blue's smile faded as a thought crossed his mind.

Fresh and Error glanced curiously at their smol blue friend.

"Blue, brah? You okay my radtastic brotato chip?" Fresh inquired.

"Y-yep!" Blue lied through his teeth (literally).

Error glitched uncomfortably. "You're not fooling anyone. Spill it, Blue."

"...I can just show you." Blue opened a portal, gesturing for them to enter.
