Love and Hope [Ink X Error]

[3] - Desperate

Ink's PoV

"Good morning Ink!" Dream cheerfully said. I guess he's the one making breakfast now.

I yawned, rubbing my eye sockets. Isn't this a bit to early to cook breakfast? Oh well.

"Morning Dream. Where's Blue?" I asked. Still, my mind is absent.

And something happened that I didn't expect to happen.

He kissed me on the cheek.

"Whoaw what was that for?" I said in surprise.

"Ohhh~ nothing. Hehe." He looked away, hiding his hands behind his back.

"That's pretty unexpected and unusual." I mumbled, but I'm sure he heard it.

Weird...

Dream sighed, "What can you say? Expect the unexpected." he said, softly.

I smiled in response, not knowing what to say next.

"Oh, by the way. I'm off to somewhere. See ya?" Dream said, removing the apron tied around him.

"Sure, Uhm... One question, Dream." A sweat dropped from me. I know that they hate it if I mention the 'Can you recall my past?' thing so I'll ask a different one!

"Yes?" He said, giving his full attention at me.

Okay, here we go!

"Why are you refusing to tell me my past?" I asked. That's new.

Dream frowned and looked away. Why do I sense something bad is going to happen...

"Ink, it's not that easy-"

"Or maybe you're lying all these years that we're friends and stuff." I absent-minded said those word...

I didn't mean to say it but it's the only way? Ahh! Dream is a very sensitive type of skeleton... How dare me.

He started to glared at me as tears formed to his eye sockets, slowly rolling down his cheeks.

"I don't want you to remember the pain and give me pain like the past few years with him." Dream said before creating a portal and left.

He left me, clueless.

Very helpful.

Fair point, I hurt his feelings.

I sighed, shrugging off the next idea of 'Blue! Why are you refusing to tell me my past?!' because I'm sure he'll be upset like what happened to Dream.

I use to care for others feelings but why do I just, let it out not caring what they'll feel? It's like my mind is telling me to do so? Or is it someone.

It's also been weeks since the whole anti-void thingy. Error hasn't made any single contact/dial. Well, maybe everyone hates me.

Why did my mind went to that topic by the way?

Then my phone rang.

Could it be?

"ERROR! I TOLD YOU I'LL GET YOUR NUMBER YOU LAZY ASS GLITCH!" I exclaimed.

"Ink! It's me The magnificent Sans! Also, who's Error? Uhm... Uhhhh..." Blue paused which made me confused. I waited for his response. "Don't tell me that Dream told you?"

Confused, I said, "Told what?"

"I guess you have to meet your... Long lost friend huh? I talk with him two days ago! He changed that I didn't realize it was him! But, Promise me you won't tell DREAM about this meeting your long friend idea." Blue said, sounding like he is whispering the end part.

"Wait, so Dream is telling you to not talk about my past?" I asked him again.

"I can't answer further questions, Ink. So, are you meeting up or not?"

Aww...

"Fine." I agreed anyway.

"Be here around 18 min." Blue cooed.

"Wait! That quick?!"

And... He drop the call.

Dream's PoV

I shouldn't have cried in front of him. It's just, asking me about his memory brings back the past and I don't really like it.

Sigh. It's just really me, huh? I have to be positive! What happened to me?

I'm also late. Maybe he'll be upset again.

The reason why I'm late is because I had to recook breakfast since I forgot to put salt... And yeah.

If you wonder who's going to be upset for me being tardy is-

"Dream!" Speak of the devil. "I've been waiting here for 1 hour!"

"Sorry, Cross! I have to cook breakfast for Ink." I apologized, running towards him.

He rolled his eyes(?), crossing his arms... Pun intended!"Ink again." he mumbled. "For the millionth time a week." he added, murmuring it.

"Hey! Respect my feelings for him!" I exclaimed, also crossing my arms.

"Fine." He rolled his eyes(?) again. "Have you told anyone about our secret friendship?" He seriously looked into my eyes.

"Of course not! I know that we're not supposed to meet up, talk to each other, be friends because of our responsibilities and roles but I'm loyal to our secret, best friend!" I said with a wink. "I promise!"

"Sure, Uhm... Well?" Cross gave me a questionable look.

"Yes?" I questioned him back.

"Let's sit here for a while and rest. Jakei trained me hard today." He said as he sat down and slowly closed his eyes.

"I understand by your look." I said and sat beside him. I didn't realize that I'm already sleeping.

Cross and I were never been friends and we stay as rivals. Then, I found out that he like my brother Nightmare and so I supported him. Tell him everything about him. We didn't realize that we're making friendship but we have to hide it for the sake of everyone. Even our creators doesn't have a single clue nor idea about our relationship. When they knew it, they'll keep us apart and I can't bear losing a friend.

We knew each other since diapers. The day in daycare where everyone is a small little bean. Our creators/mothers/fathers, wanted us to be there for personal reasons. And that was the day where Ink came.

His shy smile, his warm greetings, his cute movements. I knew for sure I was in love.

Then, we graduated daycare. Memories were left behind. After many years of forgetting about daycare, Ink and I are very close with Blue because that is our role. But we didn't consider it as a role. Until that day, Ink visits rarely. I found out he found another friend to talk to and be with. I was furious, I didn't like it.

His accident issue isn't true. I made him forget all the memories. And it was successful. We left our place and never came back. Forgetting about the memories in that place.

I never regret. I never care.
