Error POV
Today was just one of those days I don't feel anything but numb. Ink took my knife and I have nothing to cut with.
I love Ink but, I need to cut... I need to feel. I hate the numbness. I heard the door open and looked up. Ink sat by me.
"...are you mad at me?" She asked.
I looked away from her. I wasn't. I really wasn't.
"No...I just can't feel much right now." I answered.
She took her hoodie off and laid on me. I put my arms around her. I happily sighed and smiled.
I don't know how but just by being with me she made me feel... content.
She looked at me, her eyes big and caring. I loved it. She smiled at me as I carefully and gently caressed her cheek.
I swear she can't get any cuter. And she proved me wrong by falling asleep on me. I..should I stay put? Do I put her to bed?
  Someone knocked loudly on the door. Ink jolted up and I just held her so she'd calm down. Not that she was scared in the first place.
  "I-I thought..."
  "Yeah, somehow Nightmare found out about it."
  I walked to the door. As my hand touched the door knob I felt the numbness hit me. Hard to. One minute I was happy with Ink, now I feel nothing. How does that work?
  I opened the door. As I guessed, it was Nightmare.
"We need to talk." He seemed angry and serious.
I looked at Ink. She was just sitting on the couch. She looked at Nightmare and seemed afraid so I sort of pushed him away from the door and closed it behind me.
"What?" I asked.
"Ever since you've become friends with that bitch-"
I punched him in the 'stomach'.
"brat ngh...I meant brat." He wheezed, out of breath.
  "Her name is Ink Y'know." I said, about to kick him again just for the hell of it.
  "Right, ever since you've become involved with Ink you've completely neglected your job." 
Nightmare said looking extremely pissed.
  Hey, he deserves it. Nobody can call my Inky that and get away unscathed (unharmed).
"Technically it was a hobby. I enjoyed it, but I promised Ink. Also I don't exactly have the energy or motivation anymore."
He seemed confused.
"...just go home dad-.. Nightmare."
  He rolled his eyes and teleported away. I locked the anti void so only Ink and I can get in and out.
