"H-Hey! Let go of me!"
Ink tried to squirm out of the Lord grip.

"Can you just listen to me! Just for one second!"
Error replied, with the same struggle. Even tho the King was strong, Ink put up quite a struggle.

'Dammit. Now I see why he was assigned to Cross.'

"Just listen! I can explain everything!"

"I-I dont think you need much explaining, your Majesty, don't let me get in the way of your precious marri-"

He was cut off as he felt Error press his lips onto his.

He didn't move, feeling his struggle die down. Error loosened his grip on the smallers wrist and gently moved the hand to wrap around his waist.

Ink didn't want to pull back. He missed this.

The smaller immediately wrapped his arms around the Lord.
They were that way for a few seconds before they pulled away.

Ink panted, tears on the corner of his eyes.

"I missed you."
Error spoke, pressing their foreheads together.

"You cant.."

"Ink."

"Your betrothed-"

"Ink.."

"What about your betrothed-"

"Ink. I'm not getting married."

Ink stood stunned.
"You're..not..?"

"No, I'm not. This is all just a misunderstanding."
Error backed away alittle bit.

"But h-how? What about your betrothed? What does she think of this?"
Ink grew confused, tears falling down his face.
"T-There was talk about you marrying h-her! You proposed! You can't just-"

"Cant you just listen for one second!"
Error spoke.
"Dammit squid! Can't you see I love you. There was never anyone else!"

Error, despite his tone, ever so gently grab the smaller by the shoulders.

"I never proposed to someone, there was never an agreement, there was only talk I would propose to someone soon because-!"
The Lord paused. He sighed.
"Because i wanted you.."

Inks pupils changed color to display his shock and confusion.

"P-Pardon...?"

"Marry me Ink."

The smallers eyes widened.

"I already got Nightmares permission to take you off his hands. He is putting Outer in your place."

'Is he serious? Me..a simple maid?"

"But I'm a lower class.. what would it do for your reputation..? Your status..?"

The taller chuckled.
"Darling you forget who I am? I may be your lover but I am still a king."
He cupped Inks face softly.
"If this match affected my kingdom, then send me to trial."

The artist soften his gaze, tears streaming down his face as he laughed.

"Ok."
He wiped his tears.

"Y-You accept?"

"Yes! I will marry you Error."
Ink answered with Joy. He whole heartedly lunged into Errors arms once again. Not wanting to let go.

Error sighed in relief.
"I love you."

"As I love you."
