I Want To Help You (A Bill x Error 404 Story)

Author's Note (A/N): The picture doesn't really relate to what happens in the story, but I thought is was really cute! I also just realized I forgot the blush...

Bill's POV:

Today I was working with 404 on more of his emotions. Nightmare wanted to come help him, so I brought him with me. We teleported to Outertale (we decided to meet up here) and saw 404 standing, staring into the sky. "Hey," Nightmare called to 404.

404 turned around and said, "Hello."

"Ready?" I asked 404.

He nodded his head.

"Okay how about we work on..." my voice trailed off at the end. I didn't want to teach him any of the other emotions, but I knew I had too. "Maybe anger?" I said finally deciding.

"Okay," was all 404 said.

"How are we supposed to do that?" Nightmare asked.

I thought for a moment before answering. "Maybe we could tease him," I whispered to Nightmare.

Nightmare had an evil grin and said, "Time for payback."

404 was looking confused, at least we don't have to work on that emotion, and asked, "What are we doing?"

"Hey, Windows Vista 2.0!" Nightmare teased.

I could see 404's eyes narrow slightly.

"Why don't we play with your dolls?" Nightmare said.

"They are puppets; not dolls," 404 said through clenched teeth.

"Sorry, Glitchy Boi #2," I said to him.

404 started clenching his hands. He took some deep breaths to calm down.

I frowned. We weren't going to get anywhere if he calmed himself down.

We kept trying to get him angry, but everytime we were close he calmed down.

I decided to say something that may or may not get me killed.

"You know, your white chocolate tastes really good."

Everything just stopped at once and all of us went quiet.

"Do you have a death wish!?" Nightmare whisper shouted to me.

I could see the rage in 404's eyes already.

"Uh, Nightmare?" I asked quietly.

"Yeah?" he responded.

"Why didn't we think of what to do when he gets angry?"

"I have no idea. We probably should have thought of that first..." he said scooting away. "You're on your own now; I still have a nice long, healthy life in front of me." he said apologetically.

"Your going to leave me!?" I hissed at him.

"No, I'm just going to stand very far away." He said while backing up.

Well this is great. We taught 404 anger, but not how to calm down. I mentally facepalmed myself.

404 started walking towards me, anger still in his eyes.

This is the day I die. I thought to myself.

404 looked at me and closed his eyes. He stayed like that for a few more minutes. When he opened them again all the anger was gone. I was shocked. I guess we didn't have to work on calming.

"Did you actually eat my chocolate?" he asked.

"No, I didn't," I answered truthfully.

He nodding his head and said, "Good."
