Birthday Ball

"I accept my new position." Error smiled as he said his answer to them. Everyone cheered as Ink painted the Destroyer's window with hearts hanging from blue strings.

Ink faced Error and held out his hand to welcome him formally. "Error, you're now a guardian of balance." Error shook his hand and Ink gave him a careful hug so he won't glitch out. Error hugged back and was certainly happy to be here.

The next day...

Error woke up to the sound of rushing servants. So he got off bed and went to take a shower. As soon as he was done, he opened the closet to see formal clothes with the same color scheme as his old clothes. There was a note nearby so he read it.

"Heya Error, since you're living with us now, please accept these clothes as your new formal attire for today's occasion, also known as Nightmare and Dream's birthday. There will be a Sunset ball so be prepared to have your first dance as a new guardian ;)"

-PS. Ink

Error raised a bone brow and went to change into his new clothes (almost similar to his Empireverse clothes except for the moon crests). They looked really good, he felt like someone really important when he wore these new clothes. Someone really powerful and respected by many. Afterward, he went out to find a gift for the twins because it would be rude not to give someone in exchange for everything they ever did to him.

He wanted to knit them a scarf, but there was no time to make them all by himself. Unless...

6 hours later...

"Phew. That was faster than I'd expected. Thanks."

"No problem Error!" Cross said as he stood up from his seat. "Always happy to help!" He added. "Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go practice for the dance." He was going to walk out the door until Error stopped him.
Cross was confused. "Uhh, yes?" He asked.

"C-can you teach me h-how to dance?..." Error asked embarrassedly. Cross snickered a bit and nodded. He asked him to follow him towards the garden.

As they were in the garden, he saw Killer teaching Goth and Palette how to dance. Faith and Crescent were watching. Goth almost stepped on Palette's feet, luckily he didn't and they were relieved. Killer kept giving them instructions on how to dance properly for tonight.
Cross waved his hand and caught Killer's attention. Killer waved back and Faith jumped up to greet him. "Dad! Are you going to practice with us?" Faith asked excitedly. Cross smiled and said yes.

Cross then explained how Error didn't know how to dance and Killer understood clearly what he had to do. They spent the whole time practicing for the Sunset ball so Error could be prepared. Killer kept giving him instructions on hand positions and movements until he was getting the hang of it.

The time was almost dawn so they went back into the palace and saw guests lining up at the entrance of the ballroom. There was a set of six thrones aligned at an elevated part of the room to represent the guardians of balance. The three on the left side were for the dark guardians while the left side were for the light guardians.
Nightmare and Reaper were already seated on the dark side while Dream, Ink and Life (RT!Toriel) were seated on the light side. All of them were in formal clothings.

Killer tapped on Error's shoulder and told him to take the seat on the dark side. Error was feeling nervous, but he took a deep breath and went to sit down with the rest of guardians. As soon as he sat down, the guests were allowed to enter now. They showed valuable gifts to the twins. But whenever the twins got some gold, they would either give it back because they don't like to take profit as a gift. They were still thankful for their gifts though.

As soon as gift giving was over, they proceeded to the blowing of candles on the cake. The chefs did as they requested, just big enough for everyone to enjoy individually, meaning it was huge. It was a double dutch cake with a lot of layers.
Dream went into his agressive form and picked up his brother so they could fly up to the candles and blow them away.

Everyone cheered as they blew the candles out, marking their 505th birthday. They went back down and Killer and Cross offered a dance. Which of course, they did.

The guests dispersed to the sides as the guardians went to the center with their partners. Nightmare was dancing with Killer, Cross was with Dream, Reaper was with Geno, RT!Toriel was with RT!Asgore. Ink was standing alone as he waited for a partner to come by. At that exact moment, Ink looked at Error and slowly walked towards him. Error was getting nervous by the second, each step Ink took made his soul race.

They were facing each other in the eyes as time stood still for them. "Wanna dance?" Ink said as he took Error's hand and placed his other on his shoulder. Error gulped and pulled himself together, he wrapped his hand gently on Ink's waist. His other hand suddenly interwinding with Ink's hand. He got a sudden feeling in his soul that felt warm and shocking. It was something he's never experienced before, but it felt nice.

The music started and everyone danced to the beat. So calm and beautiful, the couples gazed at each other's shining eyes and danced as if they were the only ones there.

Error and Ink were caught in a trans where they felt the multiverse didn't exist and they were the only ones left. Suddenly, someone pushed then closer together. Their faces were just inches apart from each other. Error had a light yellow blush while Ink was blushing rainbows.
Error's soul was beating really hard and Ink had butterflies in his stomach that made him want to puke.

They parted away from each other, noticing that everyone in the whole ballroom was watching them. Even the dancers stopped to watched them. Ink ran away towards the bathroom so he could puke. Error was left standing shocked and didn't know what to do.

He heard the sound of applause from the crowd as Ink came back with a light rainbow blush on his face. He was now being teased by Blue, Dream and Killer. Ink was agitated and growing embarrassed by them.

Error was snapped back to reality when he felt someone pat his shoulder. He looked behind him to see Nightmare, Dust, Horror, and Cross giving smug smiles at him which also confused him.
"What?" He asked obliviously. "My dude, hitting on the squid. Good choice~" Cross teased. But Error still didn't get it and just shrugged it off.

They enjoyed the rest of the evening until midnight where everybody went to sleep.

Happy Birthday to the Twins!
