Ink's P.O.V

For the past couple of weeks, I have been noticing something wrong with Error. In class sometimes he would grab the sides of his head and mumble to himself, angerly. I would sometimes overhear him complaining about having headaches or migraines in class. I'm starting to worry, not a little, but a lot, maybe I should ask him about it tomorrow? Or may he not be comfortable with me telling him like that one time I saw him have that scar on his forearm. It's like he didn't want me finding out, but I will one-,
" Ink!, sweetie get out of bed, your gonna be late for school!" I hear my mother shout from downstairs. I immediately got out of bed, got ready for school and did the other things you do in the morning. I rush downstairs and grab the toast that was waiting for me in the toaster. I shove it in my mouth and head out the door, almost choking on the toast.

Mom got into the car and she backed out of the driveway and drove to school. During the whole car ride, I was just doodling because I didn't have anything else to do in the car. I flip through some of my old drawings to see how much I've improved over time. Of course, I see my drawing of Error in my sketchbook. I feel the car stop at a red light and I can sense my mother peeking over my shoulder.

" That's a very nice drawing of him, Ink," My mom says as she looks at the drawing and then back and the road and starts to drive again. I blush and look out the window.
"Y-You think so?" I stutter with my face still looking like a rainbow painting.
" Of course, it's very attentive to detail and the eyes look very well done, maybe I should send you to an art school next semester." I was shocked that she would actually send me to an art school.
" I'm good, I like regular school and I wanna stay with my boyfriend, " I say as we get closer to the school. Mom parks the car and I put my sketchbook back in my backpack and got out of the car and close the door.

I have a couple of minutes before school starts, Thank the stars, I thought I was like, 20 minutes late or something. I don't see my little friend group so I try to find my boyfriend, wherever he is. Why do I have an uneasy feeling about this?...

After a bit of walking around the schoolyard, I eventually see Error, he seems like he's on the verge of tears and sitting with his knees to his face. I'm taken aback by my lover sitting there, crying while no one cares to ask if he's okay.

I dash over to Error and sit beside him and grab him by the chin and tilt his head to look at me. He looks generally startled at my action, but I don't acknowledge it.
" Error, what happened, did someone hurt you?" I ask him as I look at his now tearful face.
" Am I a UsElEsS, sHoUlDn'T bE cArEd FoR mIsTaKe?," I jolt a little in place at what Error thinks about himself, why does this issue seem so familiar to me?...
" ERROR YOU'RE NOT USELESS OR A MISTAKE, YOU'RE THE MOST AMAZING PERSON I'VE EVER MET IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND IF PEOPLE THINK OTHERWISE THAN THEIR MISSING OT ON THE MOST UNBELIEVABLY GREAT PERSON!" I basically shout that because I couldn't contain myself from all the things Error said about himself.
" YoU rEaLlY tHiNk ThAt AbOuT mE?" He asks me as he looks at me with his tears slowly subsiding from his face. I kiss him, which causes him to blush a yellow tint on his face.
" Of course I think that about you, and a lot more~," I say to him in a comforting tone. Then a question pops in my head,
" Error, do you have voices in your head, it's just a thought I've been having for a while" His face shows that he is a bit alarmed at my question at hand.
"I-i... YeS, I do, the reason why I was CrYiNg was BeCaUsE oF tHem" He says in a very hushed tone to me. I wrap my arms around him and kiss him on the cheek.
" Do you want me to help you with the voices?" Error looks at me like he is about to laugh.
" HoW cAn YoU hElP mE?" I ponder to myself for a second, then an idea hits me as fast as a speeding car.
" You can get a counsellor, and I can help you find a good counsellor," I say sounding very DETERMINED to help my boyfriend as much as I can with his voices.
" Y-you WoUld really do that for me?" He asks me as I get lost a bit in thought on a good place for counselling.
" Yes, of course, this is a serious issue that I need to help you and because you're my boyfriend and I love you" Error blushes his adorable yellow blush as I say the last part. I blush myself and the school bell rings, giving both of us a heart attack. We both stand up and walk to the doors, linking arms, I link onto the arm that has the cut on it, so I'm extra careful not to agitate the cut. After school, I'm going to look online to try and find any good counselling places I can take Error to get a counseller. How come I never noticed this problem when we were in elementary school?. Well, at least I can help him now with the voices. I wonder if his Mother knows about the voices Error has?...

AUTHORS NOTE:

Sorry that I didn't update a lot because in May I had EQAO and that lasted around three days, so I couldn't update. And because on the weekdays that I could work on it, I had other work to work on, so that's another time I couldn't update, so I strongly apologize for me not updating frequently as I used to.

Well now Ink knows about Error's voices, what else do you think he will find out about his boyfriend?... Comment what you think Ink will find out.

See ya in the next chapter!!
