Prologue: The Anti-Void and A Little Visit

Start from the beginning
                                        

"h-HoW cOuLd I hAvE fOrGoTtEn t-ThAt...?" He started to wipe his eyes aggressively with his arm. Why, pray tell, would he even forget that...? Those kind words would never be forgotten, no matter how broken you think. "sOrRy..."

All of them had just giggled softly. "You do not need to be sorry, my child" Life said and stood up and walked up to the other Toriels. "All you have to know is that you are loved and cherished by us. And you do not have to cry alone. We are all here for you. We are all ready for you to cry on our shoulders and comfort you, little one."

"Like right now!" One of the Bettys, Dread, yelled happily as she opened her arms and wrapped them around the glitching skeleton. Error had to admit, he didn't expect this to happen. Knowing that he is loved by the people who are the survivors from Error, who just destroyed their universes, fills him with guilt.

More tears became flowing down all over his face as he buried his head on the shoulders of Dread, who hugged him tighter like her life depends on it, and bawl his eye-sockets out. Dread's smile was never this wide-smiled as she cry to herself and nuzzle her face on Error's forehead. This kind of comfort had triggered the Charas and Bettys.

"Awe, come on!"

"You guys are hugging without us?!"

"How selfish of you...!"

"C'mon, let  us in!"

"Yeah, let us in!"

Error let go of Dread and was once again tackled by an ocean of Charas and Bettys, who were trying so hard to even get just one single touch. Some of the Toriels giggled at the sight. "Now now, children. You have forgotten personal space again..."

"C'mon Mom! He need a hug!"

"Ma! Mister Error is crying! Can we just have one single snuggle?"

"Children...?" They have caught Life's stern look. "He can pick anyone's shoulder on his own. Do not worry, I am sure that you will get your snuggles in another time..."

The Charas and Bettys said their "OKs" or "Whatevers" as they backed up from the dark skeleton, who gulped down a huge pack of air to his lungs. 'Holy f*ck, these children are dangerous. No wonder they had to be children.' Error thought as he took deep breaths until his breathing became stable. He sighed for the thousandth time. "AlRiGhT, yOu AlL wIn. i WoN't FoRgeT iT tHiS tImE. PrOmiSe." He swore. That's what made the children giggle while some roll their eyes, knowing that he'll forget about it in another time.

Error stood up and dusted himself off. "aNyWayS, i BrOuGhT hOme SoMe CloThEs fOr ThE kIdS aGaIn." He pointed his finger on the sweaters and shirts that were scattered on the ground when the last time he was drowning by the kids. "Ahaha... How nice of you!" Switch laughed softly as she waved her hand, allowing the children to pick their favorite colored shirt off the ground.

Error and the Toriels made a decent chat for a few hours. They have been talking about how Error got all those injuries. Yep, a decent conversation, indeed.

After a good 12 hours of having fun with the children and goat moms...

"What are you doing there, playing with kids like some goodie ol' two-shoes? Do your job, you glitch!"

Error instantly stood frozen. He was playing tag with the children and he was having fun, and they had to ruin it! The kids soon stopped running and looked at Error with confused faces. They're back...

The voices...

"Can't you do anything besides being a procrastinator, and be more productive?! Destroy AUs, now or the multiverse is done for!"

"Why aren't you moving?! You have a job to do! Chop-chop!!!"

"You think taking care of kids and crying in front of your moms can do anything?!"

"Snap. Out. Of. It. And go Destroy!!!"

"Error...? Child, are you feeling okay...?"

Error flinched when a furry hand was once again brushed on his shoulder. It was Waltz, Dancetale! Toriel. "y-YeAh... i-It'S juSt..."

...

Error straightened his body. i-I hAvE tO gO..." He brushed himself off and opened a portal. But before he could leave...
Terror, one of the Bettys, told him to wait.

"YeAh...?"

"W-Why are you leaving...?"

Error took a deep breath.

"tHeY'rE bAcK..."

They gasped. The voices in Error's head are back. That means...

"Error...?" Toriel called out. Error looked back and hummed in question. "Go kick his ass, child."

Error almost giggled at Toriel's change of words. He nodded and waved goodbye to them as they waved back. The children are waving their hands in the air. You know, children stuff. Error jumpped in the portal went back in the Anti-Void, his mind in wonder.

'Alright Inky, what abomination did you create this time...?'
