No Empty Promises [Ink X Error] FINISHED

"Don't Get Used To Breaking Rules" Chapter Twenty-One

Third Person

Ink sat on the couch after another tremor, shivering and shaking in pain, feeling weaker than he was. He was still pretty weak though. ERROR sat on the other end of the couch feeling guilty still. Ink would probably hate him forever and always. He'd never forgive him in his life. Leaning forward ERROR grabbed the TV remote and turned on the TV. Ink coughed roughly, shaking violently. ERROR didn't look at him, thinking Ink would give him a nasty look. He just wanted to fade away from existence. Living with someone who hates you sucks. Bravely glancing at Ink he saw tears pricking his eye sockets. Yeah, this was sure to make ERROR feel better.

"I'm sorry..." ERROR whispered, voice not glitching for once. Ink quickly averted his gaze to him blankly, face still looking tired as hell. Ink hummed in question, not hearing what ERROR had said. Looking away ERROR stayed silent, frowning with his 'eyebrows' arched in a worried expression. Ink looked to the TV, also keeping quiet. They both sat there for a bit, neither of them saying or uttering a single sound. ERROR could feel the awkwardness in the air, unlike Ink. He felt perfectly fine, just a bit ticked off.

In the silence Ink spoke, "H.. Hey, ERROR..?" His voice was quiet, so ERROR turned down the volume of the TV and looked at Ink with regret clear in his face. "So.. n-now that I know w-what's happening to the.. AU's, can I know where.. Dream is..?" He spoke quietly, coughing again. Ink had a cold, ERROR guessed.

"U-u-Uh-hM," ERROR cleared his throat. "H-he's_in_t-that_black_v-void_p-place." He looked back to the TV, leaning on the arm of the couch slightly hunched over. Ink jumped up from his spot slightly, fully sitting up and coughing from his jagged movements. ERROR sighed, rolling his eye lights and smiling faintly.

"C-Can we go visit him?! I need to know if h-he's okay!" Ink panicked, breathing fast, making it seem as though he was hyperventilating. ERROR winced, knowing he shouldn't let him go visit Dream. He's already broken one 'rule', if Nightmare found out about him breaking another rule, he'd be in some deep shit. ERROR shook his head, sighing a glitchy sigh. "E-ERROR," Ink wined quietly, almost in tears. "please, let me see him, he's my life, along with Blueberry! I don't know what I'd do if one of them were hurt or.. worse..." He drifted off, hiccuping and coughing.

"I-I-i-nK-K,_i-I-i'm s-s-SoR-Ry, B-Bu-t_n-No.." He frowned, looking at Ink sadly. "I-i-F Ni-G-hTMa-r-are f-f-OU-nd o-Ou-t-t, h-He'D_l-IT-eR-aL-lY kIL-l-L m-M-Me," He rubbed the top of his skull, leaning back and looking at Ink. "O-Oh..." Ink whimpered, hugging himself and laying back down. ERROR growled at himself quietly, hooking his phalanges on his left hand in his eye socket and letting his arm hand there. Ink layed there silently trying not to cry, feeling like Dream was dead or he'd never see him again.

"Would_y-you_forgive_me_i-if_I_let_yçyou_go_s-see_him?" ERROR smiled, feeling his heart flutter when he saw Ink's excited face pop up. He lunged himself at ERROR in a hug, not caring if he hated him afterwards.

"Oh, ERROR!! Thank you, thank you!" Ink laughed, hugging around his neck tighter. ERROR froze, staring fearfully at nothing. Slowly his arms wrapped around Ink's back, and he hugged him. He'd cherish this moment in case something happened between the two resulting in their end of friendship. He didn't want to lose that friendship he now had... ever. He'd probably give up everything just to keep it for a minute longer. "This means so much," Ink hummed, pulling away quickly and falling back on the couch coughing with a smile. ERROR chuckled, using his strings to pick up Ink. Ink looked around confused, then smiled at ERROR.
