"You do realize this "friend" is his boyfriend?"
Eraser was now, somehow, suddenly behind Reboot.
Reboot jumped and turned immediately, realizing it was only Eraser he sighed and nodded slowly.
Eraser chuckled and went to the couch, when he sat he saw Reboot had followed him right over, and happily sat beside him.

Reboot only really would be happy with Eraser and sit with him like that without being told if he wanted something.
"Alright clingy shit, what the hell do you want?"
"Attention..." Reboot whined.
Eraser sighed. "You do realize most of my real attention span goes to you?"
Reboot gently put Eraser's arms around himself, Eraser sighed and hugged Reboot.

"Maybe Reboot has something he wants to talk about?"

"What is it?" He asked.
"What?" The small one looked up at him innocently.
"Why are you sitting with me?"
Reboot seemed puzzled"Am I not allowed?"
"No, no..." Eraser shook his head.
Eraser could half the time barely figure out his love..
"Do you wanna go for a walk?" Eraser asked.
"Last time I did someone was scared thinking I was Error." Reboot shook his head,
"Screw judgment." Eraser rolled his eyes.
"Do you not realize that everyone is judging you? I judge you. I judged you when we were dating, figuring out if I wanted to stay with you. Judgment can be a good thing. Though, when it comes to me I think of all the possible ways people judge me... Maybe because I'm short? Maybe because of my weird markings, did I do or say something? Is my outfit weird..?" Reboot trailed off in words again.
"Or because you're black." Eraser said as if stating the obvious and the most reasonable fact out there.
Reboot looked back at Eraser with the most offended expression he'd ever given. "What the actual hell, Eraser?!" He snapped.
"Are you actually judging me based off that?!" Reboot stood up angrily.
"Boot's, no... You know I'm messing around." Eraser gave a smirk.
"Messing around? I'm rather offended when people point out I'm black! You know that perfectly well. You can't make jokes like that! I have a black skeleton, you don't! But we're both skeletons right?? But apparently, you have to take my colour as a joke." Reboot growled.
He was pissed.
"Just let go of me." He demanded to be put down.
Eraser... Not wanting to upset his love farther, set his down.
The small skeleton stormed off.

Eraser wasn't sure if this was just another moment of Reboot being a cat, loving him, then suddenly hating his existence.

Eraser sat there for a minute waiting and debating going up and talking to him.

Though a few minutes passed and Eraser heard the door open from upstairs, then quick steps going down the stairs.
The small black skeleton turned and hugged Eraser crying, "Sorry!!"
"You're hilarious." Eraser patted Reboot's head.
Reboot pouted then looked up at him. "What do you mean?"
"You hate me then you love me, then hate me again, then suddenly love me again."
Reboot looked away from him. "You were making racist jokes."
"I didn't mean it, okay?" Eraser rolled his eyes.
Reboot stared at him angrily.

Eraser sighed.

"What is your problem?"
Reboot huffed "Why are you never actually sorry?!"
Eraser stood up, making Reboot slip off his lap.
Reboot watched with an angry and shocked expression as Eraser walked into the kitchen.
He huffed and stood and marched up to Eraser angrily.
"You just-"
Reboot was stopped by Eraser shoving a muffin in his mouth.
"Mff-" with a mouthful, no words were coming out.
Eraser leaned against the counter and watched his love.
Reboot started to eat the muffin happily, it was a pretty good muffin.
He finished and swallowed then scowled at Eraser. "You're off the hook for now." He said as he took another muffin off the counter and stuffed it in his mouth and marched away.

Eraser chuckled softly and took a muffin off the counter also.
Reboot had made the muffins the day before, his baking was always amazing! And a great way to calm him down.
The taller skeleton went to the couch and sat down.
He looked across the room at his love, who was sitting on the stairs going through Files...

"Wha chu doing?" Eraser asked.
"It's been a while since I Saved." Reboot muttered as he took a bite of his muffin.
Eraser sighed. "Why is Saving so important to you?"
Reboot glanced up at Eraser.
"If something happens to our, or, any AU I've saved, and not even Ink can protect it anymore. Or it has already been completely destroyed, I can go back to the Files and Load its File and bring it back."
"Doesn't that make you the most valuable Protector?" Eraser asked with a mouthful of muffin.
"No, no. Ink is. He is and always will be. He can Create. I can only ReCreate and Reboot what's been lost, and not to mention if Ink didn't exist, we wouldn't either."
Eraser snickered a little. "It's funny how our names are our actual jobs."
"Erasing wasn't your job, it's not anyone's. It's what you did. But, stopped. Right?" Reboot shook his head.
Eraser nodded slowly.

A SAVE button appeared in front of Reboot.
He touched it gently and it disappeared, giving a little chime as it did so.
"We're safe for another little while now." Reboot sighed as he stood.
