Palette was in his room as he silently dose off, it been a month since he hung out with Fresh. It been a month since Fresh openly told him about helping him destroy his father's new relationship and make his father date Fresh. However, it been a month and Palette haven't said anything about agreeing to it or disagreeing.
He sigh as he got up, grabbing his backpack as he head downstairs, "I'm going to Goth's place, Mom."
"Oh?" Dream looks over, "Okay, stay safe sweetie."
"Will do." Palette smile as he walks out of the house. Closing the door behind him and heading to his best friend's place. He just wanted to clear his mind, he been overthinking the situation a bit much, yeah that's probably it. Just overthinking it. He decided to call Goth and gives him a heads up that he's going to his place.
He waited as the phone rang a couple of times before being answered by his lovable friend. "Hey Palette, what's up?"
Palette hums, "Nothing much, I'm just calling because I'm going over at your house if you don't mind."
"O-oh! uhm sure! That's cool! I'll just tell my mom about it."
"Yeah, you do that. Rather get the permission than get yelled at for inviting friends over."
"Y-yeah....but my mom is chill....kinda..." Goth hums through the call. "Do you want any of my siblings to be around us?"
"Mmm...not sure, maybe not because I have to tell you something in person and your advice."
"A-ah? Okay then."
"Okay, that is all I call in for, Gothy~" Palette smile, "Go tell your mom about me."
"O-okay, b-bye for now."
Palette smile, "bye for now, dork." and he hung up.
Palette knew he had a long walk ahead as he put his phone away. His mind slowly trailing off into thoughts, he soon began to mumbles to himself. "Fresh likes my father..." He softly spoke to himself repeating it once again, "He LIKES my father, but my father is dating Mr. Error. Isn't Mr. Error brothers with Fresh?" he wonders as he continues to walk. "Then.." he shook his head, "I'm not sure what to think now."
He continues taking his stroll as he pass some houses, he looks over to check if any was his bestie's place. So far none of the houses were of his, he just hums as he kept walking. "Fresh wants me to help him. I love Fresh, he's like my TRUE father unlike Ink.." He hums, "I want to help him..." he sigh, "But I don't want my father in my life when Fresh can easily replace him."
He soon made it to Goth's house, a creamy white color house with a black roof to complement it. He walks on their path to the front door. Admiring the flowers that were blooming. He hums, "Surely Fresh won't force me, afterall he gave me a choice...."
He shook his head as he knocks on the door. Only for Geno to open it with Blank Death crying in the background because he lost his teddy bear.
"Hello, Palette!" Geno greeted with a friendly smile.
"Hello."
"Here for Goth, correct?"
"Correct."
Geno awkwardly smile as he move to aside, "Come in, oh please ignore Blankie."
"Blankie?"
"Blank Death."
"Ah....why?"
"Can't you hear how annoying he is being right now?"
Palette blinks, "Why is he crying?" He asks as he enter the building. Geno closed the door as he hums softly.
"He lost his toy."
"Oh.."
"And now he's a mess."
"I can hear.."
"Goth is in his room. I can call him down."
"Okay, please do." Palette spoke getting awkward as time pass by. Geno nods and went to get Goth. Meanwhile Blank Death notices Palette and ran up to him.
"PALETTE!!"
Palette jumps in surprise, "Blank!" He smile awkwardly, "Hi there." He got to admit he feels bad seeing Blank Death crying.
He watches as the little one went to him and hugs his leg and cried. Palette unsure how to handle the situation just moved Blank away from him gently, before going down to his height and hugging him. Blank Death kept crying as he hiccuped.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?" Palette asks BD.
"Mr. T-teddy is l-lost.."
"Mr. Teddy is lost?"
Blank Death nods as he wipes his eyes, "Mommy can't f-find him...n-nor c-can daddy.."
"Well....do you remember where Mr. Teddy was last seen?"
"N-no..."
Palette sigh as he comforted the younger one. Geno saw the scene as he smile softly, walking towards them. Goth followed behind a few seconds later.
"Blankie probably left Mr. Teddy at Fresh's place..." Geno sigh.
"Oh?" Palette looks over at Geno, "What makes you say that?"
"Not long ago did Blank and Goth here went to visit Fresh."
"Oh..."
Geno nods, "I assume that he probably misplaced it there if we can't find it here."
Goth walks to Palette, "Hey."
Palette stood upright as he smiles, "Hey."
Geno went to grab Blank Death as he took the young one away from the teenagers. Goth looks away awkwardly, "S-sorry that the house is...chaotic.."
"It's not that chaotic, not sure what you're talking about." Palette smile.
"N-now let's go to my room...we can talk there more privately." Goth smile.
Palette nods, "Okay."
The two went to Goth's room.
--------
Ink smiles happily as he walks over to Error, "Ruru!" He wraps his arms around his lover. "How's Pj doing?"
"He's doing great, he didn't really bothered me this time around because he's just...asleep." he looks at the sleeping Pj, "though I do like it if he isn't always asleep during the day. Ruin the night when he cries..."
Ink laughs lightly, "Can you really blame him?"
"Yes."
"Error!"
"What...?"
"So mean!"
Error and Ink were very glad as the two chitchat more while making sure not to wake up the little one who was asleep nearby. Ink blushes as Error kisses him on the cheeks. Ink smiles as he leans against Error's embrace.
"We should go out on a date someday..." Ink spoke silently.
"A date? Where?"
"Not sure...maybe dinner at a restaurant and a small visit to see the stars in Outertale?"
Error hums, "That seems like a nice idea.."
"Or!"
Error looks over, "or?"
"We go to Outertale before going to I dunno, movies?"
"I like the first idea."
"O-oh...okay!" Ink smiles.
Error looks at Ink and brought the smaller one into a kiss which was returned. The kiss lasted a few seconds, but those seconds had given both sides some satisfaction. Ink looks over at their sleeping son, he smile, "Are we going to take Pj on our date? Or should we leave him with Geno? Fresh?....or... Dream?"
"Maybe leave him with one of them."
"Who?"
Error hums, "I guess...Geno?" Error looks at Ink, "Since he knows how to raise kids...and well watch them.."
"Fresh knows as well, he raised Palette..."
"Right..."
And so the two started talking on who they should let watch their only child on the day they decide to go out for a small date.
--------
"Hey, Fresh, I refuse helping you." Palette spoke as he looks at him, it been three hours since he left Goth's place. "I've been thinking, sure, I love ya as my father but I can't see how you and him will work out. Besides he's happy and shouldn't that be what matters?"
Fresh sighs as he looks at Palette, "You don't understa-"
"I do. Honestly I'm fine with my given situation, Fresh. I have mom who loves me, uncle who in a way replaced Ink and I have you who can be my guardian. I'm fine. As long as mom and Ink are happy, I'm happy."
"He.."
"I recommend you to stop, you're just killing yourself by continuing to try and get him to love you." Palette crosses his arms, "I will hate it if you continue this and end up ruining our family for your selfish desires. So give up."
Fresh couldn't believe that he was here, listening to what Palette got to say. He sighs, "Palette but think about the benefits!" He looks at him, "I can get you f-"
"I could care less about him." He looks at him, "Fresh, just give up, find someone else to love. Heck, if you want to be part of my life go date my mother. Do whatever, just....don't ruin the happiness that my mom have and what Ink have." Palette looks at Fresh before turning away from him and walking away. "I'm off now, don't do anything stupid."
Fresh sighs, "Alright.." he frowns as he watched Palette leave his place. He stayed on his couch as he thought about what Palette said.
