error

a fall

Error was having a pretty normal day.

Destroying AUs here and there.

Got into a fight with Ink.

He'd actually gotten caught up on what was happening with Undernovela...

So someone tell him how the hell he ended up in Nightmare's stupid castle with Nightmare's stupid gang standing over him.

"W...W...whAt tHe fUCk?"

The last thing Error remembered was fighting Ink.

...Then getting shoved into a portal.

(He definitely didn't trip over anything.

He isn't just blaming ink to feel better)

Error shot upright-

Only to slam his forehead directly into Killer's.

THUNK!

"OW!"

Both of them recoiled, clutching their heads.

"WHy dId yOu hIT mE, y...yOU aSS...!"

"Hit you?!" Killer rubbed his skull . "YOU hit me!"

That only made Error angrier.

"doNT LiE tO ME!"

Strings shot from his fingertips as he prepared to attack.

"You guys hit each other on the head."

Error's eye snapped toward Dust.

"I DOnt bElieve YOU! WhY tHe hEcK a...A...aM I h...hErE?!"

Dust shrugged.

"I... don't know. You literally just fell into the living room."

Killer nodded.

"Pretty much."

"UuuUuugh..."

Error pinched the bridge of his nose.

He did not have the energy for this.

Honestly...

He wasn't even in the mood to fight.

Besides...

The Bad Sanses unintentionally helped him do his job half the time anyway.

Whatever.

He'd just go home.

Without another word, Error turned around and started walking toward the exit.

Only for Horror to speak.

"Since you're here..."

Error paused.

"...You might as well stay."

"I'm making dinner soon."

The room froze.

Even Error froze.

...

Stay?

No one...

No one had ever asked him to stay before.

"Horror, you can't just invite people over without asking Boss," Dust sighed. "Besides, Error would definitely sa-"

"S...Sure."

The word left Error's mouth before his brain had a chance to stop it.

Silence.

Dust slowly looked at Error.
