No POV

Error sat up, and groggily stretched, popping his back several times. He recalled last night's events and sighed in disappointment. He thought he was better than this. Clearly not. He looked over and was met with an empty bed side. He threw off the covers and raced downstairs. He made it to the kitchen, only to find Ink flipping a pancake on a sizling pan. He sighed in relief. He went up behind Ink and put his arms atound his waist, nuzzling the crook of his neck. Ink purred in response but kept his focus on perfecting breakfast. Error looked over and muttered some words. "Error..you don't have to apologize..it's okay.." Ink turned to face Error. Error shook his head. "No, it's not. It never was. And it never will be." Error mumbled and turned. Error walked out the kitchen and slipped on his shoes/slippers and pulled on his oversized coat. Ink watched, confused. "Error what are you doing?" Ink asked. Error didn't respond, instead, his pace quickened as he grabbed his things. "I'll be back love.." Error called and walked out the door, leaving Ink completely confused. Ink turned off the stove and put the dishes up. He had tried to call Error, but was always met with no answer. Ink layed on the couch, staring blankly at the ceiling. Was Error mad at Ink? Had he done something to upset him? The images of the fight played like a movie in Ink's head. He sighed and closed his eyes, knowing sleep might not come to him so easily. Where had Error gone? Was Error that upset? What if..he hurt himself...or someone else..or worse.. Ink sat up and grabbed his phone and tried calling Error once more. No answer. He called the Anti gang, all of which didn't know where Error was. He thought of one place. Outertale. He didn't even bother to grab his things before he raced through a portal. He could hear the distant laugher of Outertale monsters, the occasional "NYEHEHEH" from Papyrus. But that's not what he was here for. He was here for Error. Suddenly, he heard a loud, angered scream and the sound of a smashed bottle. He ran to the sound of the yell, and found Error throwing bottles and clawing at his skull. "PL3@S3 ST0P 1T!! I C0ULDN/ C0NTR0L I7!!!!" Error screamed, gripping his skull. "JUST SHUT UP SH[T 4P!!" Ink burst into tears at the sight. Error had tears streaming down his own face. Ink darted to the taller, and wrapped his arms around him. Error crashed at the sudden contact, collasping onto the ground, and partly onto Ink. Ink sobbed into his jacket, still gripping onto Error. In his shaken state, Ink held up Error's hands, to see cuts all over them, caused from the bottles. Ink, as weak as he was, managed to pick Error up, and carry him through a portal and into the house. He looked at the small bar above Error's head. 'REBOOTING: 23%' Ink banaged his hands, and brought his upstairs. He sat on the bed next to the rebooting taller. "Error...why would you do this to yourself..." Ink got up and went to the kitchen. He looked to see if anyone was around, as foolish as it was. He picked up a small knife and rolled up his sleeve. He held the knife to he arm, and whipped the knife across the bone. Soon, a small red line bubbled up. Tears streaked down his face as he cut again...and again..and again until.."I-Ink...?" Error's voice was heard from behind. Ink turned, eyes so incredibly wide, still holding the knofe to his arm as blood ran down the bone. "E-error..I-" Ink was cut off by Error wrapping his arms around him tightly, still weak from just freshly rebooting. "Why..w-why would you do this again!?" Error screamed in frustration and pain. Strong..emotional pain. Ink sobbed still holding the knife. "I-i just-t thought t-that you were angry..be-because of me." Ink's grip on the handle tightened. Error took a step back. "Ink...I'm not mad at you...im mad at what your doing to yourself. Im mad because I can fix this and because of that you're hurting." Ink's eyes widened. Error slowly grabbed Ink's hand and took the knife. "Im mad beecause I don't know what to do.." He put the knife on the table and picked Ink up, almost like a small child. Ink wrapped his legs around Error's waist, clinging onto Error's jacket. He sobbed as he cradled his arm. Error set Ink down for a moment and picked him up once more, this time bridal style. Ink snuggled up against the taller, holding his bleeding arm. Error went upstairs, and put Ink on the bed. Error winced as he just noticed his bandaged hands. He sighed and got the first aid kit, grabbing extra gauze and bandages. Without saying a word, Error put gauze all over Ink's arm and wrapped it with lsyers and layers of bandages. Error put the kit up and sat next to Ink on the bed. "So...you're not..mad at me..?" Ink asked quietly. Error stood up instantly and got infront of Ink, making him flinch harshly. Error kneeled down to Ink's height and pulled him in for a soft loving kiss. They parted and Error held Ink in his lap, slowly rocking back and forth. "I love you...so much Inky...you have no idea how it would make me feel if I lost you...I never want you to hurt yourself...ever again." Error planted a soft kiss on Ink's skull. "Does that answer you..?" He asked gently.
