Error's POV months later
"Hahaha! Oh, Error! What is this ridiculous thing?"Ink asks
"ShUt uP aNd gIvE iT bAcK!"I snap
"Make me!"He says
I use my strings to snatch the crown back from his hands.
"GeT oUt oF mY aNtI-vOiD!"I snap
"Why do you even have that thing?"He asks
"NoNe oF yOuR bUsInEsS! NoW GeT aWaY! gEt oUt!"I snap
Perl runs over and hisses, knocking Ink through a portal and shuts it with a purr.
"GoOd bOy."I say, petting him on the head
"He sTiLl iS bOtHeRiNg yOu, BrO?"Brother asks
"It'S iNk. BuT hE hAsn'T gOtTeN cLoSe tO tOuChING mE."I sign
"HoW hAvE yOu kEpT hIm awAy?"He asks
"I wRITe oN hIs sCaRf aNd oThEr tImEs i jUsT gEt hIm oUt wiTh stRiNgS oR wItH pErL."I sign
He chuckles.
"It'S tHaT eAsY?"He asks
I shrug.
"SoMEtIMeS yEs. OtHeR tImEs nO."I sign
"WelL sEeiNg y0u weAr1nG tHaT cRoWn c0uLd aRouSe s0m3 iNtErEsT."He says
I chuckle at the reminder. Ever since I got turned human again along with Nightmare, he was clingy for weeks as everything fell back into peaceful order. Dates? What are those? We haven't had any unless being stuck in his castle, specifically his room, for days at a time counts. We haven't exactly devoted time to "dates", just spending time together happily. Wearing this crown was the only way that he'd let me leave without his tentacles clinging onto me. I smile though, finding it sweet.
I nod.
"AnD bRotHer, I aM goiNg t0 hAvE t0 aSk y0u t0 leAvE."He says
I glance to him once seeing a portal open. He shoves me through and it shuts behind me with him waving goodbye.
What just happened?
"Hey Error! Good to see you again!"I hear Geno say
I glance over, seeing him sitting with a book. He is surrounded by flowers, specifically roses and echo flowers echoing Reaper's voice. I smile at him and he glances to me as I go to sit beside him.
"Nice crown. Reaper explained everything and I am sorry for his behavior. I'm sorry for dealing with my moronic boyfriend's nonsense. He is deeply sorry, especially since I didn't let him near me for two weeks straight, which is longer for him since his long shifts keep him away and I only count the time during his visits."He says
"ThAnKs...I cAn uNdErStAnD wHeRe hE wAs c0miNg fr0m, bUt iT stiLl wAs uPsEtTinG.

"We really haven't talked in a while huh? You have a boyfriend? Got any dating pictures?"He asks
"We hAvEn'T g0nE oUt oN aNy dAtEs yEt s1nCe wE aRe sTiLl rEc0vEriNg fRoM BS. He hAs g0tTen pArAnoId abOuT mE aNd mY sAfEtY. HeNcE tHe cRoWn. He cAN aLs0 bE a m0r0N s0 I aM t3lLinG y0u iN aDvAnCe tHaT iF hE giVeS aNy bS liKe ReApEr tHaT i wiLl dEaL wiTh h1m."I say
My phone buzzes and I chuckle once seeing the ID of the notifications.
"SpEaKiNg oF wHoM."I say, shaking my head as I answer
"Are you okay, Glitchy?"Nightmare asks
"YeS, i aM oKay. D0 y0u nEeD aNyThInG?"I reply
"No, I just wanted to check in with you...I love you....Everyone is very busy. So I'll have to go. Cya soon!"He says before hanging up
I smile and shake my head.
"Oh Geno! Sans sent me to check on yoooou-ooOOh heeeey, Error!"Life says
"HeLlo LiFe. So tElL mE, wHaT Am I rEsPoNsIbL3 fOr?"I ask, glaring at her
"What?"Geno says, confused.
"OkAy sO wHeN i ReJEcTeD hIs aDvAnCeS, sHe cAmE tO mE cLaImIng tHaT iT iS mY jOb tO kEeP hIm hApPy rEgArDlEsS oF mY fEeLinGs of GeTtInG aSsAuLtEd bY hIm. ThEn sHe gOt uPsEt wHeN i dId nOt liStEn."I tell him
"LIFE! Apologize now!"Geno snaps
"I'm sorry, Error. I just was scared of what Reaper would do if he didn't find some happiness, specifically how many people he'd kill. But....That doesn't make it right. I apologize."She says
"RiGhT. OkAy."I say, looking away
"Where'd you get the crown?"She asks
"I think you should leave."Geno says
I hear only silence.
"She's gone."He says
Another portal opens and Reaper comes through. I am not up for dealing with him so I get up.
"Oh, hey Er-"Reaper begins
"I'm OuT. I wiLl sEe yOu lAtEr, GeNo."I say, opening a portal.
I go right through the portal, but it glitches halfway through and I land in a completely different AU. I look around curiously, then tense up as I realize that I am in UnderLust. And the Sans himself is approaching me.
"Hello, Error. What brings you to my AU?"He asks casually
"PoRtAl gLiTcH."I say
"You're looking good. Now, would you like any new scarves? I have a collection available."He says
"WhAt?"I ask
"Oh, Horror told me about your guilty pleasure to boost your confidence! That fluffy scarf that makes you fabulous? I could give you a few more."He says
I was a bit surprised how casual he is acting given his AU, but also glad that he is being respectful. So I will return the respect to him and not make any assumptions.
"SuRe!"I say
He smiles at me.
"Right this way. I could find something fitting to match your crown."He says with a grin
I follow him and we start chatting, getting to know each other. He's a lot nicer than I had thought. Today is going odd but nothing weirder than what I've experienced before, so it's alright.
Meanwhile, NO POV
"Are we ready to set it off?"A voice asks
"Just a little longer, then he is done for. Loading....."A second says
