Error shyly sat beside Ink with his head held down. He wasn't sure whether he wanted to speak or let Ink start up a conversation. Ink sat content with his picture he had been drawing of the blocks he built and had not yet noticed Error sitting beside him.

'Speak...to...him...'

Error looked around wildly still concerned for himself. Where was that voice coming from? Why had he been the only one to hear?
(Fresh: Its- *Author covers Fresh's mouth*
Author: Shh, later Fresh. Later as in never.)

"H-hi!" Error choked out. His words had gotten caught in his throat. Ink jumped surprised to have the newcomer talking to him. The last newcomer they had was Dust and he picked on the other kids, especially Ink because of his shyness. Ink quickly looked over to see Error with a face dusted yellow. "Oh, um...hi to you too." Ink whispered. A tense thick awkward silence settled between the too. Error looked down at what Ink was drawing. "Wow, I like you're drawing. It's super good." Error complimented. Ink instantly had rainbow crawling his face. "Um, thanks, it's not a big deal though." Ink rambled quietly. Error looked up at Ink and gave him a serious look. "Of course it's a big deal, I can't draw so coming from me this might mean nothing, but you are an awesome artist. Don't let anyone say you are aren't." Error encouraged. Ink started at him and gave a small smile. "Oh...uh, thank you. I'm Ink," he said holding out his hand. "I'm Error."

"And I'm Ruru."

Error turned around to see his look alike. Angry. "What's wrong?" Error asked sheepishly thinking he had done something wrong. "That is mine and no one else's," he said hugging Ink tightly (There'syour fluff Fresh). Ink had swirls spinning in his eye sockets. "Oh, I wasn't taking him I was just complimenting his art skills." Error explained slowly scooting away from Ink. "Oh, so you're making excuses now, eh? You leave my Inky alone." Ruru said pointing his finger at Error menacingly. Error left quickly on the verge of crying. He had never meant anyone so mean (besides Nightmare). He sat in a corner away from everyone else. He just wanted to go home, he felt unwelcomed. He adjusted his glasses (I forgot the glasses in the picture😓).

'It... Fine...'

He again looked around but again there was no one around him. That was voice was too deep for the other kids and PJ, his voice was higher. "Hey, you okay?" Error mentally shook his head and looked up. He zoned out thinking about answered questions. Error wiped away his tears. "I'm...fine." he lied. He hated lying, Blueberry and Fresh said it was bad to lie but he didn't want Classic worrying. "No, you're crying. What's wrong, you can tell me?" Classic assured sitting down beside Error. "I was sitting beside Ink and I told him how good his drawing was, then Ruru accused me of hurting Ink. I had never met someone so mean." Error explained. "Well, I don't think you would hurt Ink." Classic said. "My daddy said it was bad to hurt people and if I did I'd pay badly for it." Error said remembering how his daddy was.

Blueberry was a protective, sentimental, caring, and loving dad; not to mention a great cook.

"Pay badly for it, eh?" Classic whispered eyeing Ruru who was watching Ink draw happily as if he had no care in the world. Error looked over at Classic hearing what he said. "You're not gonna hurt him, are you?" Error asked grabbing Classics arm and squeezing it tightly. Classic looked up from his arm at Error who looked desperate. He sighed. "No, I'm not gonna hurt him." he started, that didn't mean he wasn't gonna talk to Ruru. "Okay, I was a little worried there, I thought you were gonna hurt him." Error said laughing nervously and rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, I ain't gonna hurt him if don't want me to," he said cracking a small smile.

-time skip-

Classic and Error had been playing games since snack time ended. Their bond was stronger than Blue's and Error bond. Classic, the whole time, was also planning on getting Ruru alone so that they could talk about him and Error. When he did...

"So, buddy, how about you stop picking on my little friend there and let him hang out with your little friend, kay?" Classic had his eye flared and his soul was pumping with magic. Ruru looked behind Classic to see Ink and Error building a house of cards and failing but ending up laughing. He looked back at Classic. "What are you gonna do if I don't?" he insulted Classics was threatened with an if. Classic picked him up roughly by the collar. "I don't think you want to find out what will happen if you don't, pal." Classic threatened. Ruru heard the little buzzing noise of a laser powering up. "Okay, fine." he surrendered. Classic went back to his lay back look and sighed lazily. "Great I'm glad we had this talk," he said dropping Ruru and walking away to hang out with Ink and Error. Ruru watched from a distance. "Why does he think he's in charge?" Ruru asked the nothingness around him. He would not stand for someone telling what to do. He needed to figure out how to get that faker away from his Inky.

Author: Give me a break, I tried and I'm trying to get ready for upcoming events with my family.

Readers: Author-chan has a family?

Author: Yes, and a life. I don't just sit in my room thinking of a way to please you people with chapters.

Fresh: Well...

Author: SHUT UP! You just want to tell them the mystery person.

Fresh: *sheepishly dunks back in jacket* Well...

Author: He's not allowed to tell you. Cause you people probably already know who it is anyway. But I rather you peeps ruin it for everyone else them him.
