...

  "ERROR!" "INKY, HOLD ON!" 

...

  "Inky...?

  "Ink! INK?!" INKY!?"

  "Hello...?

  "Are you there...?

"Are you okay...

"Are you alive...?

...

"P-please don't leave me..."

"Error I-I... You- You're alive..." "I'm so sorry, Inky....." "I love you, Error."

...

"Me too... Me too."

............................

  It was dark, at midnight about and Ink sprang up. He was once again in his room and the blur of vision was gone. Error was standing over him, watching him on the bed. "Um..." Ink started. "You okay?" Error asked. He looked through the window and tapped his fingers on the shelf next to Ink on the bed, who was frantically shaking and watching him. "I had a... Dream." The glitchy skeleton looked back at him, sarcastically surprised. "Oh wow, I wonder what it was about. Listen up, Ink, I am in charge of taking care of you right now, since your dang friends made me, they said no chocolate if I didn't." Ink glared up at him. "So what was that dream about, Ink?" "OW!" "Huh? Oh, you may not wanna try to move, you're hands were covered in rainbows, I guess blood?" "Error!" "What?" He pointed down at the bed frame and Ink followed his gaze down and looked.

  There was a rainbow smeared across it. Just when he had looked, Ink noticed his hands were wrapped up in bandages so that he could hardly move them. "Oh so you care about me now? You're so confusing!" Error rolled his eyes and shrugged. "Ugh..." Ink stared down at the sheets. "So what now, no food?" He gestered his arm toward the door and Error leaned on the bed over him. "What, you gonna starve or something?" "Please..?" Finally, Error was persuaded by the creator to go get some food, leaving Ink in his room to think.

  What did Error want from him? Was he secretly crushing on him or just acting like it for attention? If he was, Ink was actually more than glad to hear him tell him. But why had he suddenly been calling him... "Inky"? Ink might have almost killed him, but he decided he was going to start over with Error.

  "Blue, are you okay?!" Fell hugged the smaller Sans, his eyes squeezed shut. Blueberry nodded and gave him a gentle smile. "I'm glad you care, Red." "Why wouldn't I?" He replied seriously. Blueberry shrugged and shook when blue blood dripped from his arm. He flinched and fell onto the bed, still in Fell's grasp. The skeleton with one red eye's eyes turned normal to look like Blueberry's but white and with no black dots in the middle. He smiled back down at Blueberry and hugged him again.

  Dream gave Cross a scowl, but soon after it, it turned into tearing.  "Why did you do that? I know Error's a bad monster, but Inky wants peace. I'm sure you can figure out some way of forgiving him for whatever he did." Cross looked away and at the flying curtains. "What did he do...?" Dream asked, peering up. "He destroyed my AU." "What?" "Yeah. Chara and I made an agreement with Nightmare to share our AU with him if we got it back after killing Error." "My brother's such a useless dummy! Why would you ever trust what he says?" Cross looked back at him. "What do you mean?"

  Past midnight now and Ink and Error were still up. "So. I am sure you wanna know why. I have been being oh so nice to you, Inky," Error smiled. Ink nodded intently. "You saved my life. Pretty dang obvious, Ink." "Oh. But didn't I almost kill you before too?" Ink blinked. "Yeah, but after that..." He trailed off. "Why?" "Because it's the right thing to do!" Ink immediately answered. Error looked confused, more than Ink had ever seen him be. "Huh, what do you mean by that..?"
