Silent Letters

Chapter 22

LOTS of feels.

------------------

Error was frozen. Emotions and thoughts raced through his mind, causing it to hurt, and ache.

He felt his soul shatter as he watched the blood pool underneath his lover.

He couldn't think straight. Could hardly breathe. He clutched his chest and his breathing became quick and labored. He eyes clouded over with error symbols.

"No..

"You can't leave me.."

"Here, you can just borrow my clothes. They're not dirty!" Error waved his hands. Ink laughed and froze, covering his mouth.

"Hey mom? Can..Ink stay the night?"

Ink blushed as Error lifted up Ink's shirt to see the damage. "Quit thinkin' dirty." He chuckled and Ink laughed, snorting a bit.

He wasn't aware of everyone calling his name. He stumbled back a bit and collasped, his chest aching from lack of oxygen, and heartbreak.

"Wooah! You have so many tongues! That's so cool!" Ink stuck out his small tongue, but it was nothing compared to Error's five long tongues.

Error was unaware of the tears that were streaming down his face and down his head, given the postion he was in.

His head and chest hurt. He wanted to cry. He wanted Ink to hug him tightly, telling him it would be okay.

"I love you Ruru!" Ink giggled.
"Heh, I love you too Kiki." Error kissed his nose.

He didn't want those memories to fade. He didn't want those fun and magical times to just..go away. He wanted them back. He wanted Ink.

Error didn't care that someone was shaking him. He couldn't hear them anyway. He didn't want to. He just wanted Ink back. That's all he wanted.

But now that Ink wasn't there. He wanted to die. He wanted everything to just..go away. He was a burden anyway..no matter how much people deny it.

He sighed heavily and closed his eyes. He wanted everything to go away. He wanted everything to just..end. Or just to go back to normal.

He was unaware of everything. His brother's voices calling his name. Them shaking him, desperately wanted him to get up.

But..he was now..just too tired. His throat wasn't doing him any good, but he didn't care that he couldn't breathe properly. He just..didn't care about anything.

"Oh come on! It'll be fun! Trust me Error!" Ink laughed and ran off towards the carnival.

Oh Ink..what I would do to get you back..

Tears were still rolling down Error's face. He couldn't stop them..but he didn't care. It didn't matter. Nothing mattered.

He heard a voice. He could make out..Geno's voice? He sounded so concerned..but why? He opened his eyes and looked up at his brother.

Geno hugged him tightly, sobbing but Error barely acknowledged it.

Error twitched and slowly wrapped his arms around Geno, hiding his face into his shoulder and sobbing. He wailed and gripped onto him, his throat burning and his eyes stinging.

He sat up and so did Geno, hugging each other tightly. Nobody said anything for a long while, but..Error was okay with that. A hand touched his shoulder and he looked up.

Fresh was gently smiling at him. Error yanked him down and hugging him too. Neither of them said a word. Nobody..except Reaper.

"Error.." He said firmly and Error looked up, wiping his eyes. "We have to get some rest..you especially." He told him and Error nodded mutely.

"Undyne, come with me. Swapfell, can you take Dust and Alphys in another room? Maybe try and find a bedroom or something.

"The three of you." He looked down at the brothers.

"Get some rest.." He smiled gently and kissed the top of Geno's skull, going in another room with Undyne. The brothers moved into another room, not being able to look at Ink.

They all laid down on a couch, curled up together, just like they used to when they were younger.

They murmured 'I love you' and 'Goodnight' and almost instantly fell asleep. Including Error, given how exhausted he was.

Swapfell and Undyne went back to the main room. "We can't just leave him there.." Undyne mumbled. "That guy is fucking crushing him." She growled and Swapfell nodded.

"C'mon..let's get that bastard outside and leave him to rot." Swapfell glared and he and Undyne both picked him up, struggling to open the door but once they did, they threw his body impressively far.

They closed the door and sighed. They turned around froze.

Ink stumbled forward a bit, growling, blood streaming down his front. His hands were caked in blood and his frown turned into a snarl.

Swapfell held up his gun cocked it back.

"Y-you know. You guys are assholes." Ink growled. "Do you know how much that guy weighed??" He grumbled and held his shoulder.

"W-what..we though you were dead.." Undyne's jaw hung open in shock.

"Tch, if only. When you guys shot them, you shot him before he shot me, so his got my shoulder instead." Ink sighed.

"Damn Ink. You gave us all a heart attack. Especially Error. Like, legitimately. He collasped and was closed to not breathing at all. He wouldn't respond to anything for about ten minutes." Ink's eyes widened.

"What?? I gotta see him." He turned to run but Swapfell grabbed his arm.

"Now really isn't the time. He has slept in a few days..and he's not tdoing so well mentally. Seeing you like that..he almost gave up completely when he collapsed..we think he was trying to will himself to die.." Swapfell murmured and Ink had tears running down his face.

"Is..everyone else alright?"

"Yes. We are okay." They all jumped when they heard Reaper's voice. "Now. We better patch your arm up before it gets infected. So c'mon. Let's get this over with." He grinned and Ink shuffled.over, sitting on a nearly broken chair letting Reaper do his magic.

"You guys can go get some rest
I can finish up here." Reaper told them and they nodded, going out of the room.

"Y'know..you scared the shit out of us. Swapfell told you this, but Error wanted to die. We could see it in his eyes when you wouldn't move. He thought you doed, so he wanted to die too..he almost did. So..don't pull shit like that again. Geno was the one that got him up. So thank him when they do get up.." Reaper gave him a look and Ink nodded, lowering his gaze.

"There. Now go get some sleep. There's a couch right there. I'm heading to Geno's room to sleep. G'night." And with that, he left Ink alone.

Did I really cause that? I'm so sorry Error..

-----------------

Ahah! I wasn't gonna kill off Ink. HAH no.  But damn, I started crying while writing that ngl.
