Errors curious life

S1/E3: old Enemies

Papy: "whelp, we should probably get going. Don't you have some training to get to sans?"
Blue: "oh! Yes brother!.. erry, would you like to come with us to watch?"
Error: "um. Yah, sure."
Error said not too positive himself. Starting to wonder about the implications of meeting the people of this AU. Not many people took lightly to meeting him. Actually... people who saw him for the first time where often scared or mean. As if they felt the need to defend themselves around him. Even when he had yet to do anything to them.
Blue: "erry?"
Error snapped out of it, realizing that he had started to tear up. He wiped away his eyes quickly and just nodded.
Error: "yah. I'll be fine."
Slightly embarrassed that he had almost started crying in front of his older brother. He had a feeling he wasn't going to live that one down any time soon. But when he looked up to him, he almost seemed... sympathetic to the glitch. Almost as if he understood what had upset him. Error shook off the feeling and let blue drag him out the door. Blue's brother, fallowing lazily behind him.

Paps POV:
I was anxious about the idea of letting him join sans's "training" but when sans asked him to tag along, he seemed to ponder it for a little while, as if unsure himself. And then his eyes began to tear up as his facial expressions changed from thinking to terrified. I thought carefully about what he was wondering about. And then realized that he might have been anxious about meeting other people. I guess it's not really something he was used to.
I followed sans and... error, through the door. Keeping quietly behind them, until we reached his and alphas's training grounds.
Error just stood there lost on what to do as sans greeted alphas, running around her cheerfully. And then, she spotted him...
Alphas: "and uh, who's this little punk anyways?"
I saw that error had frozen in place and decided to bail the poor guy out.
Paps: "an old friend of sans. Don't worry, I'm sure he's not as bad as he looks."
I gave him a playful wink and went to sit down on a nearby bench. Patting down the side, and inviting him over to sit as well.
Alphas: "well any friend of sans is a friend of mine! Nice ta meet ya punk!"
Alphas reached a brawny arm for a hand shake. But error just squeaked and jumped back. Looking even more nervous now.
Error: "uh... um... n-nice to meet you. My name is.. um... my names error."
He fiddled around with his fingers looking down onto the cold snowy ground. I suppose he really wasn't use to... "making friends" all that much. Heh. Couldn't imagine why. He finally reached the bench next to me and sat down. Mostly avoiding eye contact as much as possible. I took up the opportunity to strike up a conversation while sans was busy.

Papy: "so... where'd you come from anyways?"
He looked at me confused for a quick second until he finally understood what I was asking. He shrugged.
Papy: "don't know huh?"
Error: "I... don't really remember. If I did, I would have gone home by now... maybe."
Papy: "what ya mean maybe?"
Error: "..."
Papy: "you where having a pretty bad nightmare last night huh? What was it about?"
Error: "... why are you being nice to me?"
I shrugged as I didn't really know myself.
Papy: "just a hunch."
I said. Not really giving much mind to the question. I guess he wasn't really much for conversation. Although I suppose I'd normally wouldn't be either, considering we weren't really in the best of terms when we had last met.
Error: "I... I'm sorry."
That one caught me off guard. I looked back at him quickly, wondering if he really had meant it. Sure enough, he was tearing up again and didn't really seem in the mood to answer any more questions. I just nodded and went back to watching sans as he "battled" alphas.
Papy: "your really close friends with him huh. Is he your only friend?"
Error shrugged as if considering the question himself.
Error: "I don't really know. I guess I might have had friends at one point... I just... don't remember them. Sigh."
I nodded. He seemed to have genuinely forgotten a lot about his past. And the rest of our time there was spent in silence, just watching sans on the snow covered ground, struggling to keep up with the muscular reptile.

Errors POV:
We sat in silence for about half an hour until I realized that we where being watched. I squinted out into the far distance, when I noticed a blur of colors hiding behind a tree.
Error: "um. I'll be right back."
I excused myself, but didn't look back at him. I just walked into the woods, and a few minutes later, I was in the middle of an empty clearing. I looked around, only to find that the forest was completely empty. I was about to turn back and leave when a big blob of paint was slashed in my direction. I quickly dodged to the side and the red blob splattered unceremoniously onto the ground.
Ink: "error!"
I looked up to the center and saw ink standing there with his brush held out, ready for a fight. I panted heavily as he began to talk.
Ink: "what are you up to!?"
Error: "geez rainbow asshole! Can't I just visit friends every now and then?"
Ink: "you have no friends you lire!"

Outside POV:
Ink quickly covered his mouth as he realized what he had just said. Error had never lost it in front of ink before. But in that one moment, he began to cry. Tears running down his cheeks. To him, ink was right. No matter how much he tried to fool himself, the truth was, no one could ever love a mistake like him.
Ink: "oh my god! Did I just say that? Error I'm so so sorry."
Error: "shut up."
Ink: "error I... please just tell me what you're up to. I need to know."
Error: "I said shut up."
Ink: "anyone can be a good person if they just..."
Error: "you don't even believe that!"
Strings shot out towards ink, who quickly dodged. And the battle was on.
