Inky Strings

Chapter 6

(Ink's PoV)

I walked over to the place in the doodle sphere where I was supposed to meet with Dream, admiring every au I protected as I walked. When I finally reached my destination, I saw Dream waving over to me. "Hey, Dream," I said waving back, "What is it you wanted to talk to me about?" Dream looked at me with a semi nervous look. "I know it's none of my business who you end up with. And even though I think you two are cute together," I gave him a confused look and Dream looked down, " From friend to friend, I think that maybe you should stay away from Error." What did Dream mean? Does he not want Error and I to be friends? Ok maybe not friends. More like frenemies. I thought to myself. "Dream," Dream was still looking down, "Does this have anything to do with your brother?" I asked. Dream suddenly looked up at me and shouted, "What?! No! How dare you say such a thing?!" I looked at Dream with a disbelieving look. "Ok, ok, fine. Maybe it has to do with my brother a little..." Dream admitted. "It'll be fine Dream. Besides, you have nothing to worry about at all. If you are saying what I think you're saying, then all Error and I did was watch a meteor shower together." "Wait, Ink, you and Error did wha-" Dream was cut off by a sudden ringing. It was my phone, Blue gave one to each of us incase we ever needed to talk long-distance since he can't teleport through AUs like Dream and I can. "Hello?" "Hi, Ink! Sorry if I interrupted you and Dream during your meeting." "Oh, it's ok, Blue, you didn't interrupt anything," I said glancing at Dream "Oh, ok. Do you guys want to come over to my AU? I'm making soft tacos later. Alphys taught me a new recipe," Dream looked at me with a bothered look. I didn't want to end up in a fight so I decided to go. "Sure, Blue. We'll come over now," I hung up and made a portal and Dream, who had his arms crossed and was still clearly upset, went through the portal first. I followed soon after. I wondered why Dream got so worked up over one little conversation. Positivity is supposed to be his thing. If he doesn't get over it soon he may weaken.

When I got downstairs I saw Killer, Horror, and Dust fighting for whatever reason they have at this point. Cross and Nightmare were cuddled up on the couch looking at stuff on Nightmare's phone. I didn't feel like talking to anyone, especially the three bone heads. So I went over to my secret chocolate stash for a chocolate bar, took off the wrapper, and stuck one in my mouth. Then, just as I was about to got back to my room to chill, maybe check on the SOULs I captured in the anti-void, I heard Nightmare call over to me. So I went to the couch to see what Nightmare wanted, the chocolate bar was half in my mouth and half sticking out. "Yes, Nightmare?" "How was your date with Ink?" Nightmare asked. I looked away feeling somewhat embarrassed "It went ok. It wasn't much of a date. More like me staring awkwardly at the sky trying not to lose my cool in front of him." Nightmare laughed "That bad, huh?" He asked. I nodded, feeling very small. "I could break it to you softly but I'm not like that. You are horrible with confidence," Nightmare stated. I stayed silent. The last thing I wanted was to be criticized about my love life. "I don't mind giving you a quick lesson on confidence. If you're up to it, that is," Nightmare's last words made a chill go down my spine. What does he mean by 'If you're up to it'? I thought to myself as I gave Nightmare an uneasy look. I took a deep breath as I thought about the offer. Then I finally gave an answer, the chocolate bar still dangling from my mouth, "Yes,"
