Ink's POV

A soft poke on my nose bridge gently pulled me from my slumber. My eyes opened slowly. Nightmare was laying in front of me. He was staring at me with a tired grin.

Nightmare: Morning Kit.

I smiled warmly.

Me: You haven't called me that in a long time.

Nightmare: I thought I'd bring it back. I found this in my drawer.

He handed me a small tag. Mine from the camp.

I didn't know why this was in his room. Nightmare looked like he wanted to say something. He seemed nervous. He held my hand.

Nightmare: Ink, I'm... I'm in love with you.

I was shocked but soon smiled.

Me: No you're not.

Nightmare: What?

Me: You think you do. The love that's already there, the platonic love, is what you really feel. You're actually in love with Cross. I see the way you look at him. You may not know it yet but you love him.

He stared at me without any emotion.

Me: I love you but as a friend. I hope this doesn't damage our relationship.

Nightmare genuinely smiled.

Nightmare: No, it doesn't.

(Time Skip)

I sat on Error's bed, crying. I felt like I broke Nightmare's soul. Error held me close to him. He rubbed circles on my back and whispered to me sweetly.

Error: Ink, it's okay. Please don't cry.

I gripped his sweater tightly. I couldn't help but let the tears roll down. The world seemed to look down upon me. My only safety was Error. He shielded me from unwanted outside forces.

Error: Look at me, Ink.

I stuffed myself further into his chest and refused to let him see me. He sighed while putting his index finger under my chin. His finger guided my line of sight to him. Error wiped away my tears with his thumb and stared into my eyes with a loving expression. Slowly he leaned in and kissed me. It deepened with love and passion. He pulled away so we could breathe.

Error: I have an idea.

Me: What is it?

Error: We do something fun today.

Me: Like what?

Error: We stop by Melted Ross.

Me: That really expensive fondue restaurant?

Error: Yeah.

Me: That sounds lovely. A very simple but fancy day.

Error: I have more plans for today.
