Sweetheart (Errorink)

Chaotic Wrongdoings

Just realised I haven't written anything in almost two months this is not a poggers moment so.. this chapter is brought to you by me and my phone, so if the layout is a bit different than usual then that's why
Also, I have like no idea where I left off I read the last chapter I wrote so I do know like a basic idea but if I fuck something up then please forgive me for that

Ink's POV

Dust.. he was the first skeleton I saw outside of that God awful place. He was laying face down on the sofa, seemingly asleep, but looked up at me once I entered the room. A small smile appeared on his face, but it quickly faded after he saw my expression. I waved at him but didn't immediately say anything, I don't know why I didn't speak; it just didn't seem natural at that specific moment.

(D)"Heya, something wrong?"

I still didn't say a thing, simply choosing to sit down on the floor next to him.

(D)"..I'll accept that as a yes. What's up, did Nightmare do something again?"

I turned to Dust and sighed.

(I)"You know.. when he said he'd do experiments to make a Soul for me, I didn't expect him to make me eat one to see what'd happen."

Dust nodded and let out a small laugh.

(D)"I mean, I get that it's messed up he made you do that, but y'know it's really the only nice thing he could do."

(I)"What? You've just said it's messed up but nice at the same time, which do you mean?"

(D)"Both. He could've done a lot worse than that, but he didn't. Eating a Soul is still pretty messed up, but compared to anything else he could've done? I don't think it's that bad."

(I)"..I guess so, but it was still incredibly dangerous, right?"

(D)"Ink, messing with Souls in general is very dangerous, I would've expected you to know that right off the bat."

(I)"Yeah, yeah, it's dangerous and could cause a lot of problems.. but it's better than Nightmare killing me if I even piss one of you off."

(D)"Pfft, where'd you get the idea that Nightmare would kill you from? Aren't you.. y'know.. literally immortal?"

(I)"..Am I?"

I tilted my head towards Dust as he blinked a few times with his mouth slightly agape. He closed his mouth and face-palmed.

(D)"Did you literally forget about your own immortality?!"

(I)"Hey, don't blame me! It's difficult to remember stuff like that when I'm siding with people who used to be my worst enemies and could literally turn against me at any moment, you know?"

(D)"God.. I don't know what we're gonna do with you. Back to the original topic though, of course messing with Souls would be incredibly dangerous, they're the culmination of our entire beings."

(I)"I.. I know it's dangerous to mess with them, I just wanna know how it feels to have one!"

(D)"So you're working with Nightmare, someone who you believe would kill you at the slightest fuck up?"

(I)"..Yes?"

Dust rolled over onto his back and stared at the ceiling.

(D)"I don't get your logic, but whatever, if you don't die then it doesn't really concern me."

(I)"I-"

Right as I was about to question Dust about something, the door slammed open to reveal an out of breath Cross, holding what appeared to be a bunch of Error's strings.
