Ink POV
I tossed and turned in my bed. I just couldn't sleep. Not even with the doll or old puppet.
I took off my tank top and put on my t-shirt and a hoodie. It was comfortable but still not enough.
I thought about visiting Error. Would he wanna see me after what happened? Well, guess I'll find out.
I teleported to the void. He was watching something through a portal. It was Spanish. I couldn't understand it but it sounds dramatic.
I sat by him. He looked at me and we just awkwardly stared at each other for a few seconds.
"You can understand this?"
"N...no. I still like it."
I watched with him. He explained the timeline so far. It was very interesting to me. There was one part in particular that caught my attention.
Error covered my eyes. I was extremely confused by the sounds and why I couldn't see it.
"What are they doing?! What's happening?! Is he hurting her!?"
"No! No. It's like... I-it's a... um... I really don't know how to explain it to you."
He turned it off and uncovered my eyes. I stared at him, hugging the doll like I was a lost five year old looking for my mom.
I don't have a mom. I don't have a dad either. I wasn't born. I was created. I don't wanna be forgotten...
"Why are you here?" He asked.
I'm surprised he isn't annoyed by my presence.
"I couldn't sleep. I wanna talk to you."
He looked away from me.
"W-we aren't friends! I just let you go because you were annoying... y-yeah... that's...that's why."
"...Error, how does romantic feeling feel?"
"That was a weird way to ask that question. And how the hell should I know?"
I shrugged.
"Well, I guess I should get going, seeing as you don't want me here." I said, standing.
  "Wait... why couldn't you sleep?"
  I smiled inside and sat by him again.
  "I don't-"
  I started laughing. He waited. When I was done I apologized for it. He only wanted my answer.
  "I don't know..." I smiled on the outside this time. "They usually say it's because someone's thinking of you. I wonder who is at three in the morning though." I said, winking at him.
  He blushed.
  "Heh... the crazy bastard."
  I laughed softly.
  "Why aren't you asleep? You've never been one to stay up late."
  "I can't exactly tell time here. I sleep when I'm tired."
  I nodded. Things fell silent but, not awkward. Actually rather calm. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
  "You know... I miss you. I miss you a lot. I know you won't trust me so quick but... please consider being friends again...?"
  He chuckled.
  "I'll think about it. Don't get your hopes up."
  I wanted to smile but, I started screaming. He seemed terrified. And a bit worried. Mostly terrified though.
  "The fuck!?"
  "B-burst. My least favorite."
  I stood, stretched, and teleported home. That went better than expected. I was able to sleep now. Not well but, that's why there's coffee.
  I mixed in my emotions with it and drank it. After that we all felt something bad.
  "Damn, this early? Ink, kiddo, how do you feel?" Blue asked.
  "Good enough for a quick battle." I responded.
  "That's close enough. Cmon." Dream said.
  We grabbed our weapons and went to the fight. I didn't see Error there this time. Maybe he was sleeping... or hiding.
  Oh, nope there he is. He was just late. Dream told us our strategy and I completely ignored it. So did Blue.
  "Stars, you two are idiots!" He said, punching Dust."
  "You love us!" Blue said running past him as he was chased by Horror and Killer.
  I was stuck fighting Nightmare, Cross, and Error. Shit. I don't know if I can do this.
  Error didn't seem to do much. A few weak attacks that missed every time like he couldn't aim. I know he's not trying for some reason.
  Nightmare and Cross however both him me. Not enough to do big damage. It still hurts though.
  I hit both of them with a swipe of my paint brush acting like a sword, pretending to miss Error.
  Dream helped my fighting his brother so now basically it's just me and Cross.
  "You need to give up." He said.
  "Ok double crosser" I laughed.
  "Oy vey." Blue said, rolled his eyes.
  Dream was laughing.
  I was kicking ass.
