Ink POV
Error woke me up in the middle of the night. He looked terrified.
Only when I sat up did I notice I was shaking and sweating and crying. What the hell?
I remember the nightmare I had. God it was terrifying.
Error held me. He was also shaking.
"Inky w-what happened?" He asked.
I sighed and smiled gently. Hugging him.
"I'm fine. I promise." I answered.
I looked at his neck. Thank god he's ok.
"P-please. Tell me what's wrong."
"Just... just a nightmare."
"About what?"
I can't tell him. He'd think it's his fault. And it's not. Well, it partially is but, he doesn't need to know that.
"It's nothing you need to worry about." I told him.
I got up and went to check on Pj and Gradient.
Gradient was still awake just staring at the ceiling, Pj was fast asleep.
I gestured first Gradient to come over to me. He did.
I took him to waterfalls.
"Why are you still awake?" I asked.
"I don't want to talk about it Mama." He answered.
"Ok."
I let him just hug me until he fell asleep, then I took him home, tucked him in and went back to bed.
I didn't go back to sleep though. I just watched Error. Making sure he was ok and didn't do anything.
My nightmare was that he had successfully killed himself and I couldn't stop him. It only made me more paranoid.
And more worried. If he died...god what would I do?
*morning*
Error POV
I was home alone with Gradient. Only took Pj to see Dream and Blue.
I noticed something odd about him though. He was shaking. It was slight and hardly noticeable but, he's still shaking.
"Are you cold?" I asked.
He twitched and looked at me a bit confused.
"Son, you're shaking. Are you ok?" I asked a second time.
"I-I'm ok." He answered.
"Hm."
I did what Ink does and checked his arms. Shit. He's cutting to.
He looked almost as terrified as I felt. I wanna say he can't do that but I do it to so I don't know what to say.
"This... can't keep happening."
"B-but you-"
"I know. And I regret it. Every time. You can't let your mom find out I don't think she'd be able to take this..."
"Then why do I keep seeing you do it... you're hurting her as much as yourself."
"And you will to if you don't stop while you can."
