To Fix A Multiverse

Chapter 22

Red messed with the sleeves of his shirt nervously as he walked up to Outer's house. He stopped in front of the front door, glancing back anxiously.

Haven gave him a thumbs up from his position in a bush. He wore his normal clothes and had a few branches taped to his jacket and skull.

Ink nodded at him as he sat next to Vigour, wearing proper camouflage.

Vigour gave Red a double thumbs up, poking them out of his realistic bush camouflage.

Outer opened the door wearing a pair of blue sparkly jeans, a yellow shirt with a sparkly blue star under his normal jacket. He smiled at Red.

"Hey Red." he greeted happily. "You ready to go?"

Red looked at Outer and flushed promptly.

"yeah. um.. you look really great.." Red mumbled awkwardly.

Outer looked away shyly at the compliment. "Oh uh... thanks. Paps helped pick it out. You look good too."

Red flushed brighter at the compliment. He didn't think he looked particularly good in his rather new red shirt and his normal black jacket. He was wearing black pants and feeling a small bit uncomfortable because he was so used to his shorts.

"th-thanks." He replied quietly.

"um.." Red mumbled quietly, holding out his hand for Outer to teleport him.

Outer chuckled and grabbed Red's offered hand. "Where are you taking me anyways?"

Vigour quickly wrote a response and showed it to Red. "It's a secret you'll very much like. But you have to be patient."

Red repeated the words on the paper, stammering slightly as he gripped Outer's hand.

Outer chuckled softly at Red's words. "Alright. Let's go casanova."

Red nodded, his cheek bones bright red as he teleported Outer and himself to his AU. They landed on a small hill, next to a picnic blanket, the sky full of stars.

Outer felt himself be teleported and looked around. He smiled at the picnic. "Aw Red, you shouldn't..." he said softly before looking up.

He smiled sadly at the stars. "It looks a bit different here than in space." he commented.

Vigour looked at Ink and Haven. "We should probably follow them."

Red smiled a bit.

"i got some sandwiches if you're hungry." Red mumbled quietly, not missing the slightly sad look.

"yup. let's go!" Haven agreed, smiling as he jumped up. Ink stood up.

"Gotta summon a portal." He warned.

Outer turned to Red and his smile grew happier. "I'd love some."

Vigour shrugged- though in his camouflage it was more of a rustle of leaves. "Go ahead. I'll be fine. If not I'll try to be."

"great." Red replied with a smile and walked over to the blanket, sitting down on it. He pulled out a box from his inventory and set it down, opening the top.

Ink nodded and opened a portal, stepping through.

Outer followed Red and sat down, tilting his skull curiously at the sound of rustling leaves. He shrugged it off. Must be some critter or something.

Red took one of the sandwiches and handed it to Outer with a smile. He was really glad that the others had helped him with the sandwiches.

Outer took the offered sandwiches thankfully and nibbled on it. He smiled at the delicious snack.
