Ink POV
I am freaking out. I went into my art closet to get something and noticed Error's blade was gone. Shit! What happened when I was drunk!?
Oh god. Oh stars if he hurt himself it's my fault. How could I be so careless!?
Error came in.
"Hey, babe, I'm going out-...what's wrong?" He asked.
I walked to him and told him to empty his pockets.
"Uh...n-no."
"Why? Are you hiding something from me?"
"W-well... no. It's more of a surprise."
"Mhm." I crossed my arms.
He sighed, reached in his pocket, and gave me the blade. I wanted to cry as much as he did. He knew what I was going to ask next. He showed me his arms.
Fourteen new cuts. Fourteen new cuts.
I... i didn't know how to respond. I just started crying. I didn't even want to.
"What the hell? I-I don't think I can stress to you how much this scares me. Why do you do this to yourself!? Hm?" He looked at the floor and held my hand. "No- no! Explain to me why the fuck you think this is ok!? Why you think it's necessary to physically harm yourself."
He held me.
"I...I can't... you wouldn't get it."
"Then explain it." I demanded.
"...we'll talk when I get home."
And before I could object, he kissed me and teleported away. I don't know what to do! It's
my fault he's cutting. I should've never even hid them in the house.
And now he's upset with me. Why do I have to do that? Why do I have to push him to answer. He would be comfortable talking to me about it if I didn't push.
I went to see Dream and Blue. And walked in to see them making out on the couch. I closed the door and decided to just go talk to...shit. I don't have anymore friends to talk to.
Just then Killer was in front of me. Dream's ex and one of Error's closer friends.
"Killer, I do not have time for a battle right now."
"What do you really think of Error?" He asked.
  "...why?"
  "He talks highly of you. I wanna see how you talk about him."
  I sighed and sat down. He sat by me. I moved away a bit so I had room.
  "...well?"
  "This is gonna take a while." I said.
  "...I have like three hours." He replied.

Error POV
  "Well... I love Error. He means everything to me and I'd do anything for him. He's smart, kind to me, he's a damn good fighter although you already know that." I heard Ink say.
  Killer nodded.
  I decided to listen from a distance.
  "What else?" Killer asked.
  Ink smiled and looked at him.
  "He's the best thing that could ever have happened to me. Now, I do have to point out... I worry about him... I just... i want him to be happy... and sometimes he is. Others i can tell he's sad and scared and sometimes it seems he doesn't feel anything... I think that's what scares me the most."
  I looked at my arms.
  "What about the cuts?" Killer asked.
  "The cuts... I suppose I... I don't understand why he does it. I wonder if it's because of something I'm doing wrong and then I feel afraid he's going to..."
  I looked at her. She was holding back tears. I hate seeing her like this.
  "Afraid he's going to... and... I-I'm sorry I... I think that's enough questions for now... I'm going home. Tell Error I can't Waugh to see him..."
  She seemed so down when she said it. She walked through a portal.
  "That settles it. She's a keeper." Killer said.
  "I know... should I talk to her? I-I don't want her thinking my problems are her fault."
  "Dude, I really don't care." He replied.
  I pushed him over and went to think. I've been meaning to talk to Inky but she's done so much for me already... I've also been meaning to propose.
It's been a year, I love her, I she loves me... I hope. And- no. I know she loves me.
I owe it to her to tell her what's happening with me.

Ink POV
I got home and took off my current clothes. I found some comfier ones and put them on. I laid on the couch, turned on Netflix and tried to think.
  I looked at the door and, nothing. I tried napping. Nothing. I eventually just made some tea and sat at the kitchen table resting my head on my hand.
  Over four hours later and he still wasn't home. Im starting to get worried. Just as I finish that thought he walked in.
  I ran to him and hugged him. He smiled and hugged back, picking me up. I kissed him.
  "You're ok...?"
  "I'm ok baby."
