Error and his Outcode (Error X Reader)

Helping Him Remember

Still Your POV

You took him to the au that resembled our old world most and Error couldn't destroy. Undertale. You took a seat not far from the river and patted the ground next to you. Error joined you there. "I had a nightmare once, a real bad one that left me in a panic attack, so you brought me here, took my hand and kissed me. It was one of the best moments of my life.." You smiled fondly at the memory. "Kind of a weird thing to do for a girl who couldn't breathe, but it worked." Error hummed, trying to recall it, you assumed. "i-i do-o-on-t rem-em-mber.." You put your hand on his. "That's ok. It'll come, eventually."

You led Error along the darkened pathways. "Waterfall is the most romantic place in the Underground.. well, that's what you'd told me anyway." You mused. You looked to one of the echo flowers and touched it. It echoed back a monsters wish to be free. "You've always wanted to see the stars.. the real ones on the surface. That was your wish.."
"w-wh-at wa-s-s yo-urs?" You looked at him with the same fond smile you had earlier. "To make you happy. You.. you always told jokes and puns and wore that everlasting grin, but I knew you weren't happy. You hid your depression behind a smile and I know what that was like, so I made it my wish to make you happy." He stared, unsure of what to think. "D-doe-s th-at st-i-l-l sta-and to-day-y?"
"Yes."

You made it to the rainy part of Waterfall. "Stay here a moment. You took an umbrella and walked through, giving it to the statue to play that nice tune. You hummed along with it as you walked back. Error blushed. You took another umbrella. "Do you mind if we share?" He hesitated. "n-no.." You took his hand and huddled close as you walked through the rain. Error watched you. Your gentle smile, your shining [E/C] eyes. Your slicked back [H/C] hair. His soul was singing a tune he wasn't familiar with. Or maybe he was and just couldn't remember? He didn't know. "Error? Are you ok?" He snapped out of it, nodding quickly. "w-hy wou-ldn-t i b-e?"
"You've been staring the last 5 minutes." He looked away blushing again. "wAs NoT!" You snickered. "Ok, sure."
"i wAsN't!"

You sat down again as you made it to the cliff overlooking the castle. Your legs dangling off the edge as you kicked gently. Error once again took a seat next to you. You'd become aware that you were being followed. You wondered if Error noticed, or even cared. "wh-at is the sign-ifi-cance of th-i-i-is pl-ace?" He asked. "This is where we spent most of our time together. You can see the crystals clearest here.." He looked at the abundance of crystals. "y-you ar-e r-i-ight." You chuckled softly. "You showed me this place first, technically you're the one in the right." He looked over at you. "h-how was-s it de-est-troy-ed by you? o-our wor-ld, i me-ean." You frowned a little. "I.. well, something took control of me. I killed everyone.. everyone you ever loved.. I didn't want to.. then we fought at the C.O.R.E.. I think something happened during that fight, or maybe after we fell?" You shook your head. "I don't entirely know that, Error. It's been so long. I've been dormant so long." He nodded. "i-i se-e.. i-s th-ere a p-o-osab-bil-ity it-s sti-ll out the-re?" You shrugged. "I don't know."

Error was the first to get up. "we sh-shou-ld be h-head-ding ba-ack. st-ill h-ha-ve th-things t-to be d-done." He held his hand out to you and you took it. He pulled you up. "th-anks fo-r-r th-is."
"Of course." Error made a portal back to the Anti-Void and you followed behind. But not before looking at Classic, who'd been the one following, and winking at him. "Thanks for not kicking us out!" You told him before stepping through. "Will you contact the boys and apologize?" You asked as the portal closed behind you. "per-r-r-haps." He was in thought again.
