Error POV
After that battle was over with I fallowed Ink. She didn't seem to mind. Actually she seemed to think it was a game.
  She looked back at me, smiled, and ran into the forest while laughing. I think she wants me to fallow her? I did, although I couldn't see her.
  She was laughing though. And I could hear her footsteps in the snow.
  Then, just when I see her she starts to sob. Another one of those emotional bursts she talked about?
  She was fine in a matter of minutes though. After that she got up and walked to me. She seemed... different.
  Not appearance wise but, my feelings towards her were different. I want to... hug her? That's weird. I hate being touched.
  Still, I wonder. She giggled and teleported away. I'm not fallowing her this time. I went back to my void.
  It was nice and quiet. I like being alone here. After a quick nap I notice something had changed. I don't know what. Oh, my jackets gone.
  Wait what? How- where? I looked around from where I was. Nothing. Well what the fuck? The. I looked behind me.
Ink was sitting there, looking at the doll with my jacket on. How and why the fuck is she here!?
I sat up. She got on top of me. I blushed not knowing what to do.
I immediately woke up again. This time jacket on and no sign of Ink. Dreams? Ugh. Great. What time is it?
I went to another au. It was well after dark. I sighed and sat down. Outertale. Even here I could tell if it's day or night. Because it's an au.
As I said before the only one I even sort of like. I started to think... Ink asked me to think about being friends. I would really like that.
I don't think Nightmare would appreciate it. But who gives a shit? It's my choice. And it's a scary choice to. If we were friends, she'd Wanna see me more often.
I would be forced to deal with my emotions like an adult. And I don't wanna do that. I can't just go up to her and say "I love you" she'd be disgusted by me.
I think what she really wants is only a friendship. Not a relationship. She doesn't even know what love is. Not really.
And neither did I. The only time I'd ever really 'dated' anyone was for about a month and they grew impatient with my not liking physical contact. So they left. And I wasn't really upset about it.
Now I know why. Fuck. This is the absolute worst decision I'm going to make today. I summoned Ink.
She came almost immediately. I looked at her, she seemed scared about something. But what?
"...what's up?"
"I-I don't think you'll care."
"Hm... I... I was thinking about your offer to be friends again... I, reluctantly, accept."
She smiled. Not the smile she should've. This one was weak and sad but, still made others happy.
"Ok, for real, what's wrong?"
She sighed.
"Dream and Blue were fighting over my emotional problems. I know I shouldn't think like this but, I feel it's my fault. I sometimes wish they'd allow me to stop taking the vials and the bursts are starting to hurt. All of them. I guess, things at home kind of suck because of me."
"How'd you get those bursts anyway?"
"I actually don't have the slightest idea. They started after you left."
  She started screaming. I know it started to hurt her because she was crying. When we were kids, Ink wasn't a cryer. So, this is uncomfortable for me.
  "Oh god, it hurts."
  I didn't know if I should hug her or push her away. I decided a hug.
  She was surprised. And... oddly enough... I didn't let go. I enjoyed it. I missed it. I felt like I was holding something fragile in my arms. She felt so small and she was shaking but, it felt right.
  Especially when she hugged back. I looked at her. She looked back at me. We kept just staring at each other. I caught myself getting lost in those big, sad, adorable eyes... and before I knew it, I had her in a tight embrace, and kissed her.
  She kissed back. I didn't want to stop. Mostly because I was afraid of what she'd say or do... I don't want to leave her again. I want her to stay with me.
  And honestly... I'm ok with these feelings now.
