Dinner Party

Error and Palette watched as Ink went off to his room. Error blinked for a few seconds and turned his attention to Palette. "Soo... uhh... Who's your other parent?" Error mentally facepalmed himself for asking that question. "Huh? Daddy Ink is my only parent." Palette responded. This made Error question why Ink was a single father and how Palette was born. Maybe he broke up or got divorced before Palette was born? He'll find out soon enough.

"Palette!" A voice of another male child called out. Error looked around and saw a kid with mismatched eyes, right eye was yellow and left eye was white, he was also wearing a white and black cloak. "Palette and Mr. Error, Mom and Uncle Nightmare wanted me to tell you that dinner is ready, but where's Uncle Ink?" The kid asked.
"Hi Faith! Dad will come out later, come on Mr. Error! I'm getting hungry!" Palette whined. Error chuckled "Okay kid."
The kid named Faith went ahead to the dining room and gestured them to follow.

Palette then gently grabbed on Error's hand and dragged him to the dining room. Error was trying his best to not glitch out from the sudden contact of this small bean.
Error saw the dining area and the gang were dressed in fine clothing as if this was supposed to be a formal dinner. He was embarrassed that he had nothing prepared. Palette gave a squeeze on his hand then smiled at him. "Don't worry Mr. Error. It's your dinner party, so you should be happy!" Palette reassured which made Error smile shyly.

"There he is!" Killer exclaimed. "We saved a seat for you, right next to where Ink should be sitting." A servant gestured him to his seat and Error followed.
He was seated and there were so many varieties of exquisite food on the table. They looked all delicious and Error's mouth began to water, his non-existent stomach growled in hunger.
Nightmare cleared his throat and got Error's attention. "Error, what would you like for dessert?" He asked. "Uhhh... Anything that involves chocolate, I guess?" He replied awkwardly and Nightmare nodded then turned to signal a servant. The servant bowed and proceeded into the kitchen.

Ink came into the dining area, following him were Reaper, Geno and their child Goth. "I'm glad you came. We've been waiting and it seems like our guest is already starving." Nightmare said to them. "Yeah, sorry for the wait. Someone lost their scythe on the way here." Geno answered while glaring at Reaper, who was awkwardly smiling.
They all went to their seats and began eating the delicious food.

"So you must be the new guy, huh?" Geno started. "Nice to meet you, I'm Geno and this is my husband, Reaper." Geno gestured a hand to Reaper, who waved at Error as a greeting. Error waved back and smiled at both of them.

Just then, Error's memories about his original Geno flashed back to him. His eyes closed shut and glitches Intensifies as memories flooded back to him. He clutched his chest and heavily breath, but was calmed down as soon as someone rubbed his back.
He snapped back to reality and saw Ink with a worried face. He was rubbing circles on Error's back, comforting him. Oddly enough, he wasn't glitching from physical contact at all. It was weird.

"Hey, you okay bud?" Ink said softly with a comforting smile on his face. Error nodded slowly and went back to eating. He looked up and saw Geno with a concerned face.
"Are you sure, Error? You looked pretty spooked when you saw me. Is everything alright?" Geno said with concern. "Yeah... You just, reminded me of someone..." Error's tone saddened a bit. "Oh..." That's what all Geno could say before looking back down and eating his dinner.

Nightmare could sense the negativity coming from the glitch, so he signaled Dream and Dream nodded as he got the signal as well. They both waited until everyone finished eating. As soon as everyone finished, Dream shouted to the servants "Bring out the desserts!" And the servants scurried towards the kitchen.
They came back with several cups of cookies and cream ice cream. The servants all gave them a cup each, except for Error.

Error's face saddened, but was quickly replaced as soon as a servant gave him a big bowl of rocky road ice cream, topped with marshmallow and fudge. He glanced at the others and they all nodded for him, saying that he deserves it. "I-I can't accept this! Th-this is too mu-" Error was cut off by Ink, who was feeding him a spoonful of ice cream. "You do deserve this Error. You're our new member after all, and we do this to all our new teammates." Error slightly blushed a bit of yellow and shyly ate the ice cream that Ink was feeding him.

They went on like that for a while, unaware that people were secretly shipping those two. "They're gonna end up together, aren't they?" Cross whispered to Dream. "Yep, 100%" Dream replied while whispering as well. "Now open up my big Oreo~" Dream said to Cross as he held out a spoon of ice cream towards Cross' mouth. Cross smiled and happily ate the ice cream. He then did the same with Dream and they both ate like a cute couple.

As soon as dinner was over, the servants cleaned up and everyone went to their respective rooms. Ink guided Error to the guest room and they both said goodnight to each other before Error quietly drifted off to sleep.
