Love and Hope [Ink X Error]

[1] - Reboot

Ink's PoV

They say I live a second chance and I should be grateful that I survived what they called 'accident'. I wasn't able to recollect my memories for a very long time. My goal is to collect my memories back but it's been 12 years and I still haven't remembered any other than few of important details. Oh, except for Dream and Blue. They are the ones I saw when I opened my eyes.

They said I am the protector of every universe. I can create because the creator gave me a power to do so.

I also have a mortal enemy. They say, they haven't seen him show up for years. I think he's gone now.

I'm so confused and frustrated. Why can't I just, remember things so easily? I'm starting to hurt everyone.

"Ink? Are you okay?" Blueberry asked, knocking the door.

I didn't realize that tears are already streaming down my face. My sketchpad having a few liquids on it.

"Y-Yeah..." I said, trying not to stutter buuuut...

"Are you sure? I-Im starting to get worried." Blue said in a comforting yet worried voice.

"Don't worry about me, Blue. I just need some time alone." I replied, throwing the blanket all around me.

"O-Okay, I'm making Tacos."

Then, I heard faint footsteps going away.

I quickly took my brush and randomly slashed some paint on the wall.

They can't see me like this...

I walked in, didn't even realized that I jumped into nowhere.

I guess it's better to be in an empty place than to be caught by someone.

The portal closed and that's when I sat down and hugged my knees, finally crying it out, it's hard to hold back.

This place is very familiar...

"Who are you?"

What?! I thought this place has–

I flinched, slowly back away.

I inspected the strange figure that is kinda similar to me. I could tell he's a he. He has those serious dull eyes and... Glitches?

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Hey, stop looking. I'm the one who asked you first. How can you jump in this place?" His words trailed off as he examined me.

Now look who's talking.

"Ink? Is that you." I tilted my head. Another person that knows me but I don't know them... This is fine.

"You have mistaken me from someone." I lied.

"Oh yeah, the Ink I know is short, annoying, dumb, and forgetful. Looks like you."

"I am not short, annoying, dumb, and forgetful!" I denied.

"Oh, so you are Ink?" He chuckled after.

He got me, alright.

"Ink Comyet." I introduced myself. I stretched out my arm towards him for a hand shake.

"I thought you already know me." He said, looking at my hand.

I awkwardly put my hand to my back and looked at him straight in the eye.

"You're from my past?"

"Yeah," he replied as his voice cracks.

"Sorry, my memories got erased." I said.

Then realization hits me. It's time to go back and eat Blue's Tacos before he gets upset! I need to make a portal right away.

I turned my back to Error and started walking away.

"That's why you never return." I stopped in tracks and glanced at him, only to be seen his back. "That's why you never showed up, give me surprises, gifts, comforts, and love. You don't know how sad I am when you left. You are my only friend." He said, I could tell he's crying too.

"I– Don't know..." I don't know him but I feel like something inside me tells to feel emotional and it's like someone is controlling me.

"And I guess you're leaving again." He said, turning his head to me, giving me a soft glare.

"I'm sorry." I quickly created a portal and jumped inside so the guilt will come to me and eventually fade after.

The portal quickly closed and I stumbled on my bedroom floor.

Oof, that hurt.

"Ink!" Dream exclaimed, quickly running upstairs and unlocked the door. "What happened?!"

"Nothing! I just fell off my bed." I lied.

"Are you sure?"

"Yep! I can perfectly stand up and walk." I do the actions to prove him I'm perfectly fine. But every part of me aches, I hope he believe me.

"Blue's downstairs and cooked Tacos again! I also made sure it's not... Burnt." Dream said. "You should catch up downstairs."

"I'll come with you." I said is I walk beside him and we exited my room.
