Switched up

Chapter 3: Mismatching

(Art up there by me)

Error groaned as the glitches slowly left his sockets, his cheek stung badly. Glitching, he tried to sit up, pulling against his restraints. Not having enough upper body strength to lift himself up, Error rolled to his side, quickly spotting the blurry form of Red who was laying down a good few feet away from him. Uhg... how many times had he crashed by now? Twice? Thrice? Dangit, Error couldn't count right now... his head felt like there was a swarm of bees buzzing around inside it, stinging the inside of his skull in a mad attempt to get out. Ah, a headache. He paused, squinting at Red. Was he asleep? Was he awake? If he was awake then was he just staring off into space or at Error? He couldn't tell.

This was so boring... Ink was probably out there celebrating with how long it's been since Error last destroyed an AU. Well, it might've not been that long. It could have been a millisecond in the multiverse while in the Antivoid only an hour would have gone by. Or maybe it has only been a year in the multiverse and by now and Ink had forgotten about him. Either way, it was just how time in the Antivoid worked. Error, despite hopping in and out of the Anti-void all the time -seeing as it WAS his home- didn't really care for it or bothered to track it and see if there were any patterns to its madness. The only thing it was to him was a simple delay to the destruction of the multiverse.

"Finally, you're awake..." Red muttered, startling Error out of his thoughts.

"No. I'm dead. Go away. Error hissed, closing his sockets.

Red rolled his eye lights, reaching his hand into his pocket and pulling out Error's phone, and then his own. "There's no wifi, and my phone's dead," he said blankly as he shoved Error's phone towards the glitch. "Do me a favor and put your passcode in for me."

Error stared down at it, before looking back up at Red with an unimpressed look in his glitchy eye lights. "Why should I?"

"Just shut up and do it," Red growled.

Error gave him a glare. Was Red toying with him? Did he really expect Error to just forget the throbbing pain on his face and let him use his phone? "Bug off." He replied, mentally preparing himself for whatever Red had in store for him if he disagreed.

Instead, Red stood up and walked away without another word, taking the two phones with him.

Blinking, Error realized that this was his chance. Turning away from the other, he kicked his legs, trying to get free. He'd just have to hunt down Red later, but right now he needed to focus on getting free.

Suddenly he heard footsteps running towards him and a sudden pain in his back. "Hey! Stop that!" Red yelled as he kicked Error in the spine, pushing him to the ground.

Hissing in pain, Error quickly sat up. "I swear the second I get free your death will be both slow and painful..." He snapped at the other.

Red looked down at him darkly. "Oh yea? Who says that I can't just beat you to death right here?" He snarled.

Error glitched with a determined look in his eye lights. "I do!"

Red's bone brow twitched in irritation. "That's barely even convincing! in fact, you've just made me want to dust you even more now!"

"Then do it then! I dare you!" Error yelled out, making Red flinch back in surprise. "What did you just say?" he growled darkly. Error gave him a smirk. "What? Are you scared?" He said, full-heartedly believing that the other wouldn't do anything- Red would punch him, sure, but he didn't think he'd actually kill him. After all, there was no way Red would ever be able to leave the Anti-void without Error. There was no way Red would be so stupid, Plus if Red did attack him, Error could use it to his advantage and use the extra strength to break his restraints-
