~:+ 💙 Blueberry's POV 💙 +:~

Dust hugged me for a while. I let a whimper escape my mouth as a few tears stained Dust's jacket.

After I finally let go, I turned to look at Ink and Error who had been standing there awkwardly the entire time. Ink was avoiding 'eye' contact with everyone.

Dust grabbed my hand and practically dragged me up the stairs and into my room. I sat on the bed and looked at Dust with a confused, tearstained face.

"I just didn't want you to get more upset, and I want to talk to you," he whispered. I nodded and pulled him to sit next to me.

"Okay, and thanks," I said, giving Dust a small smile.

"Thanks for what?" He asked.

"Thanks for being there for me."

"It was no problem, really," Dust said. My cheeks starting to feel hot as I eyed him for a bit.

~:+ 🎨 Ink's POV 🎨 +:~

I stood in the same spot, feeling as if I would sink into the Void. 

I flinched when Error gingerly touched my shoulder. Error flinched as well. Probably his haphephobia going off.

How did he get so close to me when we were in the forest. He has haphephobia.

"Are you alright now? Wanna sit down?" Error asked. I quickly nodded.

Error nudged me to the couches where Nightmare, Killer, Horror, and Lust were sitting.

I shook my head, looking at Error.

"You don't wanna sit with the rest of them?" Error whispered. I nodded.

Error looked at me for a second.

"Alright... come on let's go somewhere," Error said, opening a portal.

I hesitantly walked through. It was Outertale.

~:+ 🌫 Dust's POV 🌫 +:~

Blue and I sat on his bed for about thirty seconds.

Blue scooted closer and leaned on me. I felt my face heat up. I wrapped an arm around him, pulling my hoodie a bit so that it covered more of my face. I heard Blue gasp all of a sudden.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Your face is purple! You look like a grape!" He exclaimed, all the sadness gone from his voice. I blushed more if that was even possible.

"I don't look like a grape," I muttered, feeling embarrassed. Blueberry giggled, leaning forward to get a better look at my face.

I looked down so that my hood covered my entire face. Blue grabbed my hoodie and pushed it off my head. I looked at him, to find that his face was coated in a baby blue blush.

"Blue, I prefer to have my hood up," I said, reaching back to grab my hood. Blue grabbed my hand to stop me.

"Why? You look fine without it!" he said, as he pulled my hand closer to his face. 

He didn't seem to realize that he was holding it up to his face, and when he did his eyes widened. He threw my hand back at me.

"Whoopsies! I'm really sorry," He said, his blush darkening a bit. 

"Blue?" I murmured, silently hoping he didn't actually hear. Blue hummed in response.

I exhaled and turned so that I fully faced him.

"Do you... uh," I looked into his blue eyes, nervously picking at the bottom of my jacket.

"Do you what?" Blue asked.

"Do you feel anything for me? More than friendship," I said, blushing profusely.

Blue's widened his eyes and he quickly looked away. I'm assuming he looked away to hide his face.

"I do like you," he murmured. I opened my mouth to speak but Blue quickly stood up.

"I'm sorry! I know you don't like me back! I'm just gonna go," he turned away, about to leave.

I quickly grabbed his wrist, making him turn to look at me.

"Blue, it's okay," I said, pulling him over. "I only asked that because I like you in the same way."

Blue started to tear up so I pulled him over to sit beside me, holding him close in a hug.

"Why are you crying now?" I asked, gently rubbing his shoulder.

"I'm just happy. I was really scared for a second," Blue said, looking me in the 'eyes.'

We stared for a bit before we started to lean closer. Blue closed his eyes and I widened mine, realizing what was about to happen.

The kiss is happening now?

I quickly leaned forward, closing the gap. 

We pulled away quickly, staring into each other's eyes once more.

Everything was quiet as an awkward silence took place.

...

"I'm sorry, this is awkward now," Blue said, breaking the silence.

"It's alright," I responded, "You need to go talk to Ink and Dream by the way."

Blue looked down at his hands. He looked scared or nervous. I grabbed his hand, giving it a comforting squeeze.

"I'll be right by your side alright?" I said, giving him the softest smile I could manage. Blue looked at me, smiling.

"I know, and I thank you for that," he said, standing up. I pulled my hoodie back over my head.

Blue walked towards the door as I stood up. Blue stopped and turned around, waiting for me. When I got to him he gave me a quick peck on the cheek, stunning me a little.

I grabbed his hand and we walked out of the room and headed to Dream's room. I could see the fear plastered on Blue's face.

When we got to the door, Blue stared at it for a second. I pulled him into a quick hug.

"I believe in you," I said. "You are the magnificent Blueberry and there is nothing you can't tackle."

Blue giggled at my words, letting go of the hug.

"Thanks Dust and YES! I am the MAGNIFICENT BLUEBERRY!" He exclaimed, his enthusiasm restored.

"You want me to wait out here? Or..." I trailed off waiting for a response. Blue shook his head vigorously.

"I am magnificent but this might be a little harder to tackle, can you come with me?" Blue asked, smiling up at me.

"Of course Baby Blue," I said, making him flush in that baby blue blush.

 Blue put his hand on the doorknob and opened the door.
