Love and Hope [Ink X Error]

[2] - Path Of Growing Up

Ink's PoV

I stepped on the empty void again. I know by his emotions and looks that he's a past friend.

I calmly looked around the place.

Where is he?

I took a few steps and look for him. Then, I stepped onto something.

I bend over and picked it up. Wait... A hand made doll?

I think I saw this before...

"Hey!"

"Gah! Stop scaring me!!" I exclaimed, throwing the doll to his face.

"Oh, you again." He bluntly said.

"Can I have your number?" I said... Awkwardly.

"What for?" he asked, looking at me with his suspicious eyes(?).

"You said you're feeling lonely and don't have friends, so... I decided that we can communicate through phone??" I explained.

"I can have your number though." He said.

"Oh, okay then! Why can't I have yours though?" I asked while writing my number, finally handing it to him.

"You just can't." He said as he stuffed the paper in his pocket.

Then there's a ring echoed in the endless void. It was mine.

"I think I should head back. Good bye, Error!" I said then turned into a blob as I traveled home.

Error's PoV

After he left, I had nothing to do in this void. I bother coming back because I'm homeless.

I made my way to another Universe. I took the paper that Ink gave me earlier and inspected his hand writing. His hand writings are so... Tidy and cute.

Argh!

I rested my head on my palms as I my body leaned on a cold dead tree.

"Error, we need to talk." I glanced at my side and saw Geno, slowly walking towards me.

Wait, of all the multiverse... oh well.

He smiled at me. The type that he never really gives to anyone other than someone special to him."How are you?"

"Pretty bad." I said.

"That sounds really bad. What happened?" he asked then sat beside me.

"Yeah. It's Ink." I said.

"Oh... Your crus--"

"Friend!" I interrupted him. "His memories were wiped out."

"Oh, that's terrible!" He said as he covered his mouth.

"Tell me something about yourself to make me happy." I said.

"Well, Reaper proposed and-"

"He... proposed?" I repeated, trying to clear things.

"Well, yep." He said, trying to hide the feeling that he's very happy.

Duh, Error. It's been like 15 years that they're together.

"OK." I bluntly said, putting my hands in my pocket as they were tired from my head resting on them.

Geno chuckled, holding my shoulder.

"Yeah and I know you'll also find the right one for you." He smiled after.

"I don't want to love. Too much effort." I said, giving him a tired expression.

"To tell you, that is impossible. Love will overcome you one day." He said. "Trust me on this, Error. I'm sure that one day you'll find love and the right person. If that happens, invite me to your wedding." He winked after.

Did Reaper made him fall in love so hard or just interjected his cheesy love advices.

"Yeah sure, whatever."

He suddenly hugged me tight like he never want to let go. With all of the people I know, Geno is the one that is allowed to make physical contact at me. Who knew someday there will be creature number two who has a permission to?

"I'm gonna miss you, my rebel little brother." He whispered, kissing my forehead after. "You and Fresh grow up so fast."

"Yeah, you too. I'll be the best man." I said.

"Why not?" Geno smiled, it faded when he thought of something. "Fresh, I need to leave and look for him! Gosh what he's up to again!!"

Well, you wouldn't know what that parasite can do.
