Stuck

Lmao, it's gonna get cringy. (Kinda old)

(Error)

When I left my apartment this morning, I never thought I'd end up here. Where is here? I don't think I've processed it yet. But I didn't expect to be here with someone else. And it's so awkward.

"Well, since we're stuck here, we should pass the time, right?"

"...."

"Uh.. how about I start? What's your name?"

"....Error."

"That's.. cool, I guess. Unique."

"Thanks..?"

"I'm Ink."

"Cool."

"Yeah.."

"....Where do you work at?"

"Oh, uh.. I'm a painter..!"

"...fun?"

"Heh, yeah.."

The air was thick with how uncomfortable we both were. I don't even know how I ended up here. I was going to an interview, and I had somehow managed to get stuck in a phone booth, with another person. The worst part is that the he's literally chest-to-chest with me, sort of. He's quite short, to be honest. He shifted, going rigid as he accidentally moved closer still. He glanced up at me, a spectrum of colors slowly blooming across his cheeks. "Uh.. sorry?" I stared down at him, mild discomfort growing into extreme discomfort. "Uhm, Error?" I glanced at the door, mind made up. "Okay, I know this is illegal and all, but I'm going to teleport." Ink's sockets widened, his jaw falling open. "Wait, thAT'S A TERRIBLE IDEA-" I ignored him, pulling my magic together and teleporting both of us out. We landed in an alleyway behind my apartment complex, relief surging in my soul. Ink stumbled a bit, no longer having a wall to support him, and bumped into me rather roughly.

My ankle bent suddenly, sending me to the ground with a grunt of pain. I winced as Ink yelped loudly, just before a loud clatter filled the alley. I rolled onto my feet, hissing as flashes of pain shot up my leg, glaring at Ink's groaning form. He'd crashed into a dumpster and knocked over a bag full of cans, and was now laying in the middle of the mess. I limped my way to his side, nudging him with the tip of my shoe. "Get up, shorty." He growled at me, but stood up, pressing a hand to his skull. "Don't call me that." I shrugged, "Sure thing, half-pint." He shuffled after me as soon as I began walking away. "Hey, wait, how did you do that?" I sighed dramatically, "Do what, half-pint?" He huffed angrily, his footsteps quickening. "Teleport. And don't call me that." I tossed him a mocking smile, "Magic, kid."

He followed me all the way to my floor, asking me dumb questions, annoying me to no end. Finally, I spun around, startling him, slamming my palm onto the wall he had pressed himself against in surprise and fear. My other hand crashed into the wall as well, effectively pinning him against it. "Do yOu-oU eVer-eR shUt u-U-up-P?!" He gaped up at me, silent and wide-eyed, but made no move to even attempt to escape. I didn't move, glaring down at him and breathing heavily as glitches rolled over my bones endlessly in response to my frustration. He blinked, eyelights changing, before he took in a deep breath, something akin to disbelief flashing in his expression. "Wait a second, are you Error, as in Error CQ?!" I stepped away in confusion, "Yes? Why do you want to know?" He jammed his hand into his pocket, tugging out a piece of paper. He scanned it, before passing it to me, a large suspicious grin spreading across his skull.

I took it hesitantly, looking down at it and immediately recognizing the hand writing. Fresh's chicken scratch greeted me, unreadable beyond belief. It didn't help that it was blurry. I leaned away from it, squinting, but sighed as it did nothing. Glancing at Ink, I groaned and dug out my glasses, holding them up to my sockets. The fuzzy image sharpened, and my name was the first thing I noticed.

Error, my pal Inky needs a place to hang his blades. So he gonna stay with you, til he gets to rollin on his own. Geno said you gots to, so you can't say no, bro. Don't be unrad to him, kay? -Fresh =)

Underneath it was Geno's curly writing. I could feel myself start to glare at the the note.

Like Fresh said, Ink is going to stay with you until he gets a job and is able to afford a house. If you have any questions, call me. Be nice to Ink. -G

At the bottom of the page, two phone numbers were written in print, each marked to tell who's was who's. I tucked my glasses back into their pocket, the note following it, and I closed my eyes and took a few breaths. "So..." Ink's voice broke through the quiet, sounding smug. I opened one eye, scanning him up and down, before turning around and walking away. "Hey!" I heard him rush after me, now sounding high pitched and whiny, but I continued to walk towards my apartment.

"Error!" I hummed in response, digging for my keys as I walked. "Hey- slow down!" I gave him a smirk, "Speed up." He growled, but went silent, still following me. I slowed my pace, walking more calmly, so he could keep up. I noticed him squirming the longer the quiet went on, and just as he looked like he'd burst, I spotted my door. "Welp, here we are." He glared up at me, "Where would that be?" I grinned, "We are at your new temporary home." With an enthusiasm I didn't feel, I opened the door and motioned dramatically to my trashy living room. "Hope you like it, cause this is all you're getting." He faltered, staring in surprise. "This is where I'm going to stay? It's so..." he waved his hand around, "..dirty." I dropped my smile, a scowl replacing it. "Pues, lo siento, tu majestad, que no soy suficiente rico para usted. Vete al infierno, pinche cerdo ingrato." He took a step back, frowning at me. "I don't speak whatever the hell that is."

"I said, sorry if I'm not rich enough for you, your majesty. Go to hell, you fucking ungrateful pig." With that being said, I pushed him away from the door, and locked him outside. Ignoring his frantic knocking, I started cleaning my apartment. God damn prick.

Idk if I wanna continue. I might. I don't know. Sorry guys.

(Hey, future person, here with a flash of sad! I'm gonna rewrite this, too. It needs work, although some may disagree. When it's done, you'll like it better, I'm sure! Until then!)
