FreshXError: Why haven't we met before?

Chapter 2: Cupcakes and tea!

Of course, the next day, they both showed up at Error's spot in Outertale. Errors showed up an hour before Fresh was supposed to. He just wanted to think about yesterday and star gaze. Oh, how the thought of yesterday made his mind drift away in his line of thinking. "I can't figure out why." He thought. "But I'm glad that I got to meet him. His brightly dressed clothes are weird, but, they oddly make me wanna stare. He just dresses like some teenager from the '80s. With his tilted back, backward red and yellow hat on top of his white skull. The only thing else on it being his glasses that just said YOLO. Those damned black glasses, how they covered his eyes. Wait, why do I care, they are just eyes. If that's so, why do I wanna see them so badly?"

Error was lost, he couldn't understand the reasoning behind his want to see the other skeleton's eyes, but that didn't stop the desire. "Whatever, I'll just think about the rest of his glamorous, bright colored outfit. Did I say glamorous, I meant stupid. Yeah, stupid. Anyway, why did he wear a green, pink, and blue jacket over a purple turtle neck? They just cover his ribs completely! Then, he shows half his legs with his orange and a stripe of white shorts, what's the point? Then he just has blue and purple sneakers with yellow shoelaces on. His outfit really doesn't make any sense, but I think he looks great in it none the less." Error then paused. He stopped in his thought and went completely still. With blank eye sockets, and a huge dark yellow blush on his face. He was about to second guess what he said when he heard footsteps behind him. He quickly turned around as the result of him being spooked. Stilling blushing like crazy.

"Did I miss something?" Said Fresh with a confused expression. He didn't know what to think of Errors blushed face, except, "Cute." Although he merely said it to himself in his mind, he heard it echo through his head as though he had said it aloud. The thought of him calling Error cute made him blush, loosen his grip, and almost drop the basket he is holding. After a moment of silence, Error broke the silence by saying, "No, but um, hey. Didn't think you'd actually show."

"Why wouldn't I?" Fresh replied, gripping the basket tightly, ensuring its safety. "Hanging out with an all-powerful destroyer is the best part of my day." Error then looked forward and patted the spot next to him with a small smile on his face. Fresh then walked to the spot, set the basket carefully in between him and Error, and sat down. Right on the edge, just like Error, and just like yesterday.

"So, what's in the mysterious basket?" Error questioned. "Just some uh, cupcakes and uh, raspberry iced tea. I kinda like to bake, and I don't know how long I'm gonna be here today, but I thought it would be nice to have something to snack on and drink." "Wow, cool, and thanks." Fresh smiled and pulled out a cupcake. "Here, try one. They are vanilla with chocolate icing, I know its basic, but I like basic." Then he handed it to Error, who didn't hesitate to take it, he loved free food. When Error had the cupcake in his possession, Fresh pulled out two cups and a pitcher filled with tea and ice. Error looked at the cupcake, he didn't think it would be poisoned, he didn't get that vibe from Fresh, so he pulled the wrapping clean off his food and threw it into space. Then he proceeded to take a big bite into the very noticeably, deliciously looking cupcake and smiled massively. Once he had swallowed more than half the cupcake, he devoured the rest and asked for a napkin. When he had it, he wiped his face and threw it too into space.

By this time, Fresh had two cups filled with ice and tea and was holding one out to Error, who then took it. Yet, before Error took a drink, he said, "You can really bake Fresh, and ya know, raspberry is my favorite flavor of tea." "Thanks, and really? Mine is too." Fresh agreed and pulled out a cupcake after smiling wide at Error's compliment.

Error got comfortable and starred up at the stars, sipping his tea. He knew he would be there for a while. He ultimately tossed the idea of Ink over his head. When he was with Fresh, he would forget everything else. Ink surely did come but left soon after seeing him with Fresh for the second time. He was wondering if this was becoming a normal daily activity, in which, it did. So Ink eventually stopped coming to check on Error. Seeing that he never did any harm and that he looked happy instead of his usually angry expression. He really didn't want to ruin his happiness by being spotted.

The two ended up being there for four hours, talking, eating cupcakes, and drinking raspberry tea. Fresh got to learn some of Error's favorite pastries and desserts. Error, however, got to learn about Fresh's interests and hobbies. Which then turned to Fresh learning Error's job and hobbies as well. Error did find it strange that Fresh didn't look worried or scared of Error when he went into detail about his job (Destroying the AU's). Still, he also liked the fact that someone knew who he was, what he did, and didn't care. That itself made him feel much calmer near Fresh and during their hangouts.

When they both decided to leave, Error went home happy and excited to see Fresh again. This time, he didn't question why, but how he felt this relaxed around Him. It was like he had known him for a lifetime, especially after meeting him only twenty-four hours ago. At that moment, those hours felt very far away. He sat down and started to mess with his strings and summon fabric. He was making a doll of Fresh(One of the hobbies he told Fresh he did). Unlike all his others, he would spend a lot of time perfecting this one.

Now, over at Fresh's AU, he started heating up some water to make more tea and gathering ingredients for Error's second favorite dessert, banana cream pie, as soon as he got home. He couldn't stop thinking about possible things for them to talk about tomorrow, and how adorable Error's face would look after taking a bite of his pie. It made him smile non-stop. He simply just couldn't wait. It was only till the same time tomorrow that he would get to see Error's face, and his face would be on his mind till then.
