He's Just "Tired..."

~2~

Ink got up, looking down over the edge. His mind was filled with dark thoughts now. 'You won't be missed. Just jump already.' 'They all hate you.' 'Who could ever love a soulless freak like you? No one can.' 'You're a waste of fucking space.' 'You never deserved to be creator.' 'You'd be better off dead.' All these thoughts just worsened ink's temptations to just jump. He sniffled a bit as he stood on the edge, staring down at the sharp rocks below. He was about to jump but got pulled away from the edge. Error of all people, was the one that pulled him away.

Error looked at the smaller skeleton whom was classified as his archenemy. As much as he absolutely hated that damn creator, he wouldn't let Ink die. He knew that if ink died, everyone would somehow find a way to blame ink's death on error. Error pulled ink away from the ledge with his strings. "AnD eXaCtLy wHy ThE fUcK wErE YoU gOiNg To KiLl YoUrSeLf, InK?"

Ink just gave Error a sad expression as tears continued to roll down his cheeks. "I-I just want my fucking misery to end already, Error... I-I g-give u-up..." At this point, Ink was more or less mentally broken right now. He really did want to give up but... Why had Error stopped him?... Didn't Error hate him?... He sniffled a bit, not understanding why his archenemy had chosen to save him of all people.

Error huffed a bit. "I oNlY sAvEd YoU bEcAuSe pEoPlE wOuLd ThInK I pUsHeD yOu AnD I DoN't WaNt PeOpLe To ThInK tHaT I KiLlEd YoU." Did this mean Error actually cared about Ink even just a tiny bit? Or was Error really just thinking of nothing more than his own reputation? Maybe Error secretly cared about Ink? Who knows? Error unwraps the strings from around Ink after Ink was a safe distance from the ledge. "DoN't ExPeCt Me To AlWaYs Be ThErE tO sAvE yOu, InK... YoU'rE sTiLl NoThInG mOrE tHaN a WoRtHlEsS gLiTcH tO mE..." Error might like ink a tiny bit but for now, he didn't really want anyone to know that he didn't hate ink as much as he claimed to hate him. "NoW, I'vE gOt To Go. I'vE gOt ThInGs I'vE gOt To Do."

Those words Error said really hurt ink. When Error had saved Ink, Ink thought that Error might have actually cared about him just a tiny bit but now, he lost hope of Error actually liking him. His dark thoughts worsened now. 'See? Error hates you too.' 'He should have never saved a mistake like you.' 'He's right, you're just a worthless glitch.' Ink's tears fell faster now. He wanted to ask Error to stay here with him. He wanted Error to help comfort him. He knew he needed the comfort. But his mind thought otherwise.

"T-That's fine. Go do whatever you want, Error. I-I won't stop you anymore..." Wait... Why had ink just said that? Ink hadn't meant to tell Error to leave. He wanted Error to stay since he knew Error wasn't going to let him kill himself. He got panicked for a split second when he saw Error about to leave. "W-Wait! Please stay here with me Error! I-I don't want you to leave! Please stay with me! I-" But... Error had already left before Ink could finish his sentence. His tears kept falling. "I love you, Error..."
