The few days between Error and Dream meeting and the sleepover went quickly. Error kept destroying, but usually only one or two universe each day. During the day, Ink and Error would sometimes send messages to each other, chatting via text until they both returned to the house. When they both arrived home they would talk about random things and make each other laugh. Error no longer felt really awkward around the creator, and as he began to become closer to Ink, the voices started to become quieter. They still constantly chattered, but they cut through his thoughts less often and with less volume.
Dream and Blue planned to come over after lunch, and stay till after lunch the next day. This left Ink and Error a choice to either stay in the house and wait for them to arrive, or head out until about the time they would arrive. They both decided to stay, watching a film that Ink loved and Error had never seen. Error's and Ink's eyes were glued to the screen as the movie played out.
At about half-way, Ink got up and made some popcorn as Error watched the popcorn pop in awe and shock. They sat back down with the bowl between them and continued the film. In typical love story fashion their fingers brushed as they were both reaching for some popcorn during a particularly tense scene. Ink instantly withdrew his hand, blushing and apologizing. Error froze for a moment before mumbling out that it was fine. The rest of the film went without incident, with both of their thoughts lingering on how their hands had touched.
After the film, Error and Ink ate some lunch, and had just finished when a knock at the door announced that Dream and Blue had arrived.
Ink got up and went to the door, opening it and seeing his friends. "Hi guys! You're just in time, me and Error have just finished lunch!"
"Yay! So we can start playing games soon then!" Yelled Blue as he jumped up and down on the spot, his eyes shining stars. "There's so many that we have to show Error how to play!"
"Well we don't have to show him all of them at once..." said Ink, walking back over to where Error was awkwardly sitting at the table.
"I know! In fact the Sans party is coming up soon so we could more of them to him then!" Replied Blue. The whole room went silent.
"What's the Sans party'?" Asked Error after a few seconds.
"Oh... It's a party where all the Sans' get together and hang out..." Explained Dream. "But there are a lot of Sans' that attend so it might be far too much so soon...."
"It's not for a month! You'll be fine with people by then, won't you Error?" Asked Blue, smiling sweetly at Error.
"I don't know..." Error sunk into his hoodie, the mere thought of that many judging faces making him want to hide.
"Blue." Said Ink with a hard tone "I thought I made it clear that Error shouldn't be rushed into situations he isn't comfortable in."
"Well, yeah you did..." Started Blue "But Error seems to be a lot better already and I'm sure he'll be fine with going by the time it comes along!"
Dream sighed, placing a hand on Blue's shoulder. "If you talk like that, Error will feel like he has to be fine with going to the party Blue." Dream turned around "So for now let's drop that topic and move onto what we plan to do at this sleepover!"
Everyone agreed with this change of topic, and headed towards the entertainment room.
"What should we do first?" Asked Ink, looking between the cupboard full of board games and the Game consoles around the TV.
"Lets play some board games first!" Said Blue, running over to the cupboard. "They're probably easier to understand than video games!"
"Sounds good!" Said Dream joining Blue to look through the cupboard.
Ink was slightly concerned about what game they would choose, but Blue quickly pulled out snakes and ladders, making Ink internally sigh in relief.
"Lets play this!" Blue placed the box on the floor and began setting it up. "It's really easy to understand and it's a pretty classic board game."
They played many types of board games before they decided to move onto other games.
"So what should we play now?" Asked Ink, putting away the game they were just playing with.
"We could play truth or-" Started Dream.
"NO!" Yelled Ink, glaring daggers at Dream. He knew what would happen if they played that game, especially with Error being there. Ink did not want to play that game with his crush.
"Why not Ink?" Asked Blue, filling his eyes with innocence. Ink wasn't fooled.
"What's wrong with truth or dare?" Dream mimicked Blue's innocent look.
Error looked between Dream, Blue and Ink confused. "What's truth or dare?" He asked.
"Well," Blue started to explain "it's a game where one person has to either truthfully answer a question they are asked, or complete a dare they are given. It's really fun, and I can't think why Ink doesn't want to play it."
Dream joined Blue in his task of convincing Error to choose to play truth or dare. "Come on, let's play it! I'll even go first!"
"Okay then Dream, Truth or dare?" Asked Blue.
"We didn't agree on playing this..." Murmured Ink, currently hating how good his friends were at getting people to play truth or dare.
"I'll have a dare Blue!" Said Dream, ignoring what Ink said.
"Ok!" Blue rubbed his chin in thought for a few seconds before smirking. "I dare you to eat an entire apple in 30 seconds!"
Ink sighed and stood up. "I'll paint an apple." He wasn't going to bother to try to stop the game, he knew it was hopeless. At least he would be able to see Dream attempt the dare. He went into his art studio and grabbed a paintbrush before returning to the entertainment room and quickly creating an apple and handing it to Dream.
Dream looked uncertainly at the apple, almost regretting his choice of offering to go first. Blue pulled out his phone and set a timer for 30 seconds while giggling. "Are you ready?"
"Sure..." Dream prepared to eat the apple.
"3...2...1...GO!" Yelled Blue, starting the timer just as Dream took the first bite of the apple.
28 seconds later Dream swallowed the last part of the apple, and jumped up yelling "I did it!" Just as the timer went off.
Ink and Blue were laughing their heads off while Error watched with a small smile, confused but entertained. Dream sat back down laughing.
After the laughter stopped, Dream spoke "It's your turn for a dare now Blue!"
"I know! So hit me with your worst truth!" Blue wasn't worried about what he would be asked at all.
"Okay then Blue..." Ink said "Have you ever had a crush?"
"Oh yeah loads!" Said Blue. "So many I probably can't name them all! High school was a weird time for me..."
"Your turn now Ink." Dream said while grinning.
"Yeah, and Error gets to ask me a question." Ink smirked at his small victory, Error wouldn't ask him anything embarrassing.
"oh um... Ok..." Error shifted, uncertain of what truth to give to Ink. At least until he remembered something he had always wondered about. "Why did you make Underlust?"
Dream and Blue burst out laughing while Ink blushed heavily, too shocked to speak.
"C'mon Ink! Tell us!" gasped Dream as he tried to stop himself from laughing.
"I-I..." Ink blushed more. "The Watchers gave me the idea! I just helped them make it..."
"Who are the watchers?" Asked Error, confused.
"They're people from another multiverse who start the basis for every world, without them I couldn't create new worlds, only replicas of existing worlds..."Ink stopped looking at the ground. "Anyway, isn't it Error's turn?"
